The service here was absolutely fantastic, we weren’t hurried along despite ordering mains and tap water only and the servers were absolutely lovely. Thanks for a great night!

We experienced friendly service from looks like a family run business. The food was good. It is not your standard Yum Cha or anglicised Chinese food. The variety made for an interesting dinner with friends.

Everything was quite good despite that you will have to inform the restaurants when you want to have hotpot, I didn't know that when I went there so no hotpot is available to us.

Decent food, most service staff members were lovely, there were one or two that let the team down. Kong bao prawns, stirfried pea shoots and spicy dumplings were the highlight for me.

The best dumplings in London. Everything so spicy and delicious. Chicken wings were so good. The group next to us had a huge hot pot and that looked amazing

Delicious food, and quick service. Wait staff were polite but not friendly. The dumplings were amazing and the pulled pork was exceptional. Will definitely be coming back for more!

Good food. The restaurant was very busy for Monday night. But there is no delay on getting my food. Everything comes in at the right temperature. It shows that it is really good.

Such good food as always, but really noticeable how slow our food was and how much is going out the door to deliveroo orders. They need to prioritise customers in the restaurant otherwise people are going to end up unhappy

Really good hotpot, ideal for a cold winter day. Make sure if you are considering hotpot you let them know so you can get a table near a power socket.

Absolutely the best Szechuan food I have had (and I've been around the block a few times). Unlike a lot of other Szechuan restaurants where the food is unnecessarily oily, the food here achieved all the delicious taste (and more) without the excessive greasiness. There is of course some amount of oil (has to be there in Szechuan food), but the flavors and everything else shine through. Every single item we had was fantastic. Will DEFINITELY go back and most definitely recommend to others!

Delicious food, big portions, nicely presented, friendly service and atmosphere. Large menu, including superb hotpot. This is real Sichuan food at a good price and with no compromise. Will be back!

We went for the hot pot and the food was amazing. If you run out of anything, they'll probably offer you more before you ask. Friendly staff, nice atmosphere and delicious food! Couldn't ask for more :-)

This is one of my favourite restaurants. The food is authentic sichuanese. I always have the gong bao prawns and the fried beans with pork mince. Other really good dishes include the lamb with cumin and the sliced beef in chilli oil. The service has always been really good, with the waiter able to recommend dishes to you if you're not sure what to order. the restaurant itself is not fancy, but it's perfectly pleasant.

We went in for hot pot. Was unlimited and was really tasty. Definitely do your research if you have never had hot pot before as the staff didn't give any direction. Thanks full we had a couple beside us who were pros. Will come back for the rest of their menu. Legit sichuan food!

Good Sichuan. Highlight of our order was stir fried pea shoots. I would definitely order that again. Fish fragrant aubergine was nice too, if a little sweet.

We had the hot pot menu. The quality and variety of the food was great. Also the staff was very kind and friendly. It just annoyed me a little that the waiter started to make a personal conversation with us, as I wished for a more discreet and private dining.

Excellent food and service as always. Our favourite restaurant! Smacked cucumbers, fried beans with pork, boiled fish slice and the signature pork dumplings are some of our must-haves.

Food was tasty, prices were reasonable, service was ok, but they only take cash payments (no cards). Was there on a Sunday at lunchtime but it wasn't particularly crowded.

Great food and service with a good choice of vegetarian options for those who don't eat meat. Very reasonable pricing. It is quite lively so probably not a good choice for a quiet intimate meal but a really good atmosphere. Booking advised as it is not a particularly large restaurant.

We had the hotpot and it was a lot of food! We had a table just in front of the entrance and it was a very cold day. We would have preferred a table more inside but there was no free table next to a plug. We didn't understand why we couldn't pay by card because we book online... it was cash only. The food was good.

The food was okay, as I'm Chinese I was expecting more, could be a little bit more authentic. The portion is on the smaller side also.
