We ordered chicken fried rice, chili shrimp,chili chicken dry, konjee krispy lamb and devils lamb and for dessert, we ordered chocolate mousse. The shrimp, chicken and lamb were all soft and tender and extremely hot and spicy but deliciously mouth watering as well. The chocolate mousse was just perfectly sweet. We ordered 2 mousse and and a coffee mousse came free with it.

I've never tried dining in at Chowman on Russell Street, but I've ordered from them several times for home delivery — and they never disappoint! The food is always delicious, fresh, and packed with flavor. What I love most is how affordable everything is without compromising on taste or quality. It's my go-to place whenever I'm craving Chinese food at home. Highly recommended!

We had a lovely time as we went with friends. The restaurant is a bit cramped, there was live music going on and we enjoyed our evening. Dim-sums were great, but noodles and fish can be improved. We loved the sea food soup as well.
