Reviews Overview
Most Liked
Diners rave about the honey ribs, a specialty not listed on the menu that simply must be ordered. The vibrant array of vegetarian options garners praise as well, catering to plant-based diets. The attentive and friendly staff consistently score high marks, making dining experiences pleasant and memorable. Many find the combination of freshly-prepared, mouthwatering dishes to be a highlight, particularly the chicken in yellow bean sauce and cashew nuts. The cozy atmosphere is another favorite aspect, perfect for intimate dining while still accommodating larger groups. Lastly, diners emphasize the great tea selection, which complements the flavorful dishes beautifully.
Most Disliked
Some patrons find the restaurant can get quite crowded, especially during peak dinner hours, which may lead to longer wait times for food and seating. Reservations are often recommended to navigate this challenge. A few reviews also note that while the food is generally flavorful, there are occasional inconsistencies in dish preparation during busy hours. Additionally, some diners feel the prices can be slightly high compared to similar restaurants in the area, although many agree the quality and portion sizes justify the cost. Lastly, while the atmosphere is cozy, the proximity of tables can sometimes detract from privacy for larger groups.

The best Chinese around. I’m not normally a big lover of Chinese food but this place is amazing the service, the staff but most of all the food is sensational. Great takeaway also. Not on the menu but ask for honey ribs and enjoy!

Top notch Chinese and the best one ever!! They say you always favour your own Chinese but I truly believe ours is the best! The hor d’oeuvres are just amazing and the staff are always so friendly and hard working!! The chicken in yellow bean sauce and cashew nuts is my favourite dish- but there are so many to choose from! I recommend both the take away and to eat in but eating in is definitely recommended!!!

The menu offers a wide variety of delicious and mouthwatering, dishes, best enjoyed when shared. We found the food to be flavorful and freshly-prepared-- I personally enjoyed the sizzling five spice beef. The staff provides an excellent service. They made sure to come around to check on our experience often, and were warm and thoughtful. The food is exquisite and reasonably priced, and the atmosphere is brilliant. Highly recommended!

The staff were all very friendly and efficient even though it was a really busy night. Food was great, so filling! The starter for two was like a main meal. The sizzling beef with ginger was lovely. The meat was really tender.
