Friendly staff, pleasant and comfortable dining experience. Catered well for a party of 8 apart from one item not being available from the menu on the night. Very well priced and our only regret is not having room to sample the dessert menu! Will be back and would definitely recommend.

Booking on line was easy, all of the staff were very attentive and polite, service very good, good intervals between courses and there was no encouragement by the staff for us to vacate the table when we had finished our meal. Overall, an excellent restaurant.

The restaurant lovely, service fabulous, but food wasn't fantastic. Could well have been what I ordered, but spare ribs with little meet and abit too "gloopy" source in main course.

We have been going to China Town for many years and love the decor and the ambiance. The quality of the food is excellent and off good value.

We wished to have the pre theatre special which was shown on the menu. When we arrived and tried to order we were told it was not available due to a "management decision" My "customer decision" is not to go back, in any event the food was distinctly average.

Food and surroundings are very good, and the service was good but rather slow, took ages to get the first round of drinks. Waiters very friendly but not enough of them. Didn't mind not being hurried but took too long with the drinks.

We were undecided between 3 and 4. The food is definitely good (the bamboo not to my taste, it was more sour than I am used to, but this is a matter of taste. all the rest was very good and good quality) but the service was slow beyond any reasonable timescale that one might expect. It took 3 hours for a three course meal.

We have been to this restaurant a couple of times and has always been lovely. However on this occasion the standard of chicken in the dishes were poor. More like processed meat. The service as always was very attentive although we had ordered a banquet and they forgot two of the dishes. Overall we had a lovely evening.

This is an excellent restaurant with an extensive menu. The service was excellent and attentive, but not intrusive. All food was cooked to order and the mussels starter with chilli and garlic was a particular favourite. We were a party of 8 and all plates were cleared. We will definitely return.

Reserved a table for 7, called up and they let us change it to 7:30 with no issue. The restaurant was atmospheric, however music could have been louder. We were greeted on arrival by a very polite waitress and the service continued to be great, with excellent food which was served at a good speed after ordering and between each course.

They did not have our reservation!!!!!! However, the staff ran around and found us a table. Friendly staff but obviously understaffed as it took FOUR HOURS for our meal. Great Food, nice staff. The lady (manager?) kept apologising and offering us some free dessert but we were full and very tired by then and just wanted to leave. So.... would go back, but not at Chinese New Year.

Nice food and friendly staff. The service felt quite hurried and a little frantic though, which meant the meal was over and done with just a bit too quickly.

Soup was the usual boiled thick soup , we had the hot and sour soup n the mixed seafood soup . The latter is delicious , the former passable but we were diaointed that there was no authentically Chinese double boiled soup . Peking duck has a generous serving but skin not crispy and the wrap is too thick and doughy . The most disappointing was the wanton noodle soup . Noodle is soggy and the filling of the wanton has a wierd texture , only the soup is acceptable. Dining environment is pleasant and service was commendable .
