Fantastic is not enough to describe the experience at this restaurant. An ideal Chinese food experience, service was quick and efficient and the food was excellent. The crispy duck was tender and juicy and the portion was significant and filling. Both beef dishes were amazing, the meat was tender and would melt in your mouth. The noodles were also mouthfuls of lovely bursts of flavour and the texture of soft noodles and cooked veggies was 🤌🤌 the only thing that didn’t blow us away was the rice, it was a bit starchy. All in all, 100% recommend.

Great experience, nice staff and it is generally a pretty relaxed vibe. Food is really nice and tasty and although portion sizes can be quite small, you can order as much as you want multiple times. The small portions a re to prevent food waste, but you can order a lot of food so don't worry if you think you can eat more, you can order more. Service is quick and there is always someone around to grab their attention to order. The price for what it is is very decent.

We had a great time celebrating a birthday, food was outstanding, I especially enjoyed the marmite sauce, had it with ribs and beef also :) All the food was great quality and didn't feel heavy or stuffed afterwards like at the nearby competition. We all left full up, satisfied and happy 😊

Amazing brilliant food. A must visit for South East Asians especially Malaysians. Had Kam Heong fish, belacan fried rice, belacan paste eggplant with dried shrimp and butter prawns. The taukeh from Ipoh and his chef made me feel like home. Recommended for Malaysians in UK.

Loved the food, staff were friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was pretty good, it was very busy but that is understandable due to the time of year (week before Christmas) but it wasn't overbearing. First time I've been there and certainly won't be my last.
