Mietta's Review
An upmarket restaurant in Toowong with all the accoutrements of a good Chinese establishment - proper waiters, linen and a well-priced wine list. The owner, Clinton Seeto, is offering well-done Asian dishes (with an Australian accent) that are ideal for his suburban clientele. Mains average $24.
