Our take: Yu Cun's Curry Fish Head is consistently highlighted as the star, with its thick, spicy gravy and fresh fish.
The $38 portion is generous, often enough for 2-3 people, and can be topped up for an additional $3.
We note that the 'not so spicy' option still offers a tolerable heat, suggesting a higher heat level for those who enjoy a kick.
Beyond the curry, the shrimp chicken with its crispy skin and juicy meat also receives praise.
Service is generally described as fast, polite, and accommodating, even during peak hours.
While the restaurant doesn't take reservations and can get very busy, especially on Saturday evenings, dishes are served promptly.
We'd recommend coming in a larger group to fully explore the menu and balance the heavy curry with other dishes.
Be aware that outdoor seating, while pet-friendly, is roadside and may have flies.
Parking is also limited.
Overall, it's a highly recommended spot for its signature dish.
Verdict: Worth the wait for the Curry Fish Head, especially for groups of 3-4.
