Easy to,park, Great service, great food, great value. What’s not to like? We use it regularly and are never disappointed. One of the best Chinese restaurants.
The main meals where very nice and freshly cooked drinks where nice , however then it all went down hill with the frozen puddings . we had 2 different ice cream puddings they both came very icy i complained ice cream should not be served frozen. we let they melt a while but still the ice cream was not nice and icy like they had been defrosted and re- froze . The staff said they have had problems with the supplier and will not use them again. The puddings where not charged for but it spoilt the meal they never tasted nice and as i told the manageress if they know there is a problem with those pudding why are they still serving them?
The ambiance was improved and the service good but the food was not to the usual standard The salt and pepper prawns and duck were good, but the vegetarian spring rolls were ghastly -we asked for them to be replaced but the 2nd batch was as awful as the first! Overall the portions were small and this time we were not left wanting more
Brilliant food and service. The food is the most authentic since being in China. Staff very good and attentive. Restaurant clean and welcoming. All good
