    This place is the BOMB! Probably the best Chinese cuisine I've ever had. The prawn spring rolls were to DIE FOR and the peas in the beef stir fry were just as good as the meat. Absolutely nothing left behind on the plate. The staff were efficient, friendly and happy to stop for a chat. Noise level wasn't too bad at all even after it filled up. Very happy to recommend!

    I can’t thank the staff at Crossley St Cantina enough! Due to an extremely last minute venue cancellation, our group booked in with Crossley St Cantina for dinner. The staff here were so easy to book through, multiple dietary requirements were easily catered for and a few other requests were also accepted with ease. We were seated downstairs in the private function room and it was cosy, vibey and most importantly cool on such a hot day! All the staff were amazing to deal with, the food was spectacular and the pricing great. We loved our experience with Crossley St Cantina and wouldn’t hesitate to go back. A huge thank-you to all the team here, we had a great time!
