Our verdict
Chef Janet Gray presides over the kitchen at this popular restaurant in Hokowhitu on the outskirts of Palmerston North. Her signature lamb shoulder is a speciality and you’re going to need a few friends to share it. The house-made steamed bao buns are another speciality and the set menu of several sharing courses is among the stronger-value offerings in the city, guaranteed to be a favourite with the youngsters too.
