However, when we visited on a autumnal evening, the place was buzzing with Chinese young people, presumably students from the nearby university, so we knew it would be good! There are two menus one for the very keen Chinese looking for food from the Middle Kingdom (things that westerners would generally not touch: chicken feet, pig's trotters, etc. plus lots that we had not seen previously) and one for the interested tourists. We chose the latter. Beef in oyster sauce and chicken in some other sauce with ginger and spring onions, plus noodles and vegetables. The drinks were in plastic bottles (I had lovely plum juice). There was much more meat than we were used to in other Chinese restaurants, so we felt that it was really good value for money. The QR Code for WeChat to pay did worry me at one point but the waitress accepted our mundane debit card for payment. There were only about four westerners in the restaurant so we had definitely discovered a Chinese secret. The name does not help they do much, much more than noodles and very well! We think that it should be more widely known! Highly recommended!

Some dishes are even rotten, burnt or have a really strong ammonia/ashtray smell and flavour. Food is quite overpriced and the staff is so rude they shout at you, they ignore you or they even don't allow you to go to toilet, which you will need instantly after three spoons of food.Seriously, avoid this place. My partner was so bad after eating here that she ended crying.

Absolutely awful waited over an hour to get our food and when it came, they had messed the order up. Also, staff where not helpful and menu is over priced. read more Absolutely awful waited over an hour to get our food and when it came, they had messed the order up.

The front of house girl was washing up and continued washing up whilst seeing me wait. Basically huffed when taking order. Went for beef stew and was literally swimming in oil like uneatable. Good thing atleast chow mein was better than average hence this review is a 2 and not a 1

I thought the lamb noodle soup was rather plain in flavour and would recommend the beef noodle instead. I can taste the salt in the noodles but I’d prefer the salt/ flavour in the broth.
