At Poon’s, we bring the warmth and authenticity of home-cooked Chinese food to the table. Think of it as dining with family, where every dish is prepared with love, care, and a touch of tradition. It’s the kind of cooking you wish someone would invite you over for - the flavours of home, served with hospitality, a place to sit around the table with close friends, share a meal of edible love, and leave feeling nourished and content.At the heart of Chinese home cooking is the idea of balance, sharing, and harmony. Meals are not about individual plates but about a shared experience, where each dish complements the others ― in flavour, texture, and nutrition. It’s a way of eating that’s social, flexible, and rooted in tradition. No two meals are the same ― they shift with the seasons, the mood, or who’s at the table. Every dish is made with care, using fresh ingredients and family-style presentation. Whether for comfort or celebration, the food is meant to be shared and savoured.

    I treated my team of 6 to a nice meal here, and we were delighted! Delicious food, quality house wines, and the service was superb - the waiters made us feel very welcome and they feel more like hosts than just serving the food. Nothing was too much trouble, we had a lovely time. Only one complaint - we booked an outside table, given the lovely weather, but music was blaring out of a speaker system. We complained but they refused to turn it down, saying Fridays have a live DJ. But we went there to eat & talk, not to dance!!! So this policy needs changing. We had to move inside, where the noise level was more suitable for dinner. We'll definitely be back, this is a top notch place, and good value considering the roof top terrace & central location.
