Our meals in mandarin were delicious and generous in size. the noodles we ordered as a side were so incredibly delicious that they could eat them alone. the staff here also made such an impression on me – they were so friendly and attentive. large square

Excellent place for a meal nice eating many choices good portions staff very helpful and polite I recommend you to book a table, then they will not be disappointed if they can not get a table, as it always speaks busy for themselves

Amazing little place with friendly personal delicious food. that was our second visit and was just as great as the first. can not wait to return.

I picked up an order for 5 adults and 3 children at the restaurant because arranging delivery through a third party was difficult.

This restaurant review is very mixed. Some aspects are excellent, receiving a 5 out of 5 rating, while others are disappointing, only getting a 1 out of 5 rating. The positives include the satay starter, which was stunning, and certain aspects of the service, which were brilliant and not overly expensive. However, there were some negatives as well. The restaurant was cold inside, the chef's specials were mostly average with paprika, the crispy chicken sauce was overly sweet, and the person serving our mains, who appeared to work in the kitchen, was lucky to not be punched for his behavior.
