Eliza is a modern-looking Chinese restautant. It has an unlikely combination of super modern interior with brushed aluminum/glass top tables and silver chopsticks, and the old stand- by fish plates and Chinese knickknacks here and there.

They serve Mandarin/Hunan (northern) Chinese dishes. I am so used to ubiquitous light-coloured Cantonese food; Eliza's dishes are dark brown with soy sauce. They are tasty, and quick, and cheap!


We shared Steamed Dumplings with Spicy Sauce ($5.25) and ordered two lunch dished; one with sauteed string beans ($5.30), the other with eggplants and prawns ($6.15). I enjoyed everything! Each lunch plate comes with soup and steamed rice.

Great value and good taste!
