Description

A cozy Chinese restaurant with a spicy twist on classic dishes, this spot offers inventive fried rice options with a kick of heat. The use of hot chilis adds a fiery touch, but don't worry - they only make it spicy upon request. While wait times can be lengthy, up to 2 hours during peak hours, the delicious food is worth it. Despite recent complaints of poor customer service, loyal fans rave about the chicken chow mein, fried rice dishes, and tasty fish cakes. While some dishes may fall short, like the improperly cooked rice, this restaurant continues to elevate traditional Asian cuisine.

One of my favourite Chinese places. Their chicken chow meins are really good, so are the fried rice dishes. Their fish cakes are really tasty. Battered burgers are great. Only problem is the portion size of a curry chip roll. Used to be way bigger before.

Worst customer service ever. Our food was very late because they clearly forgot about it. They didn’t even apologise instead one of the workers huffed and puffed when I asked about my order . As soon as businesses make money they forget basic customer service/ manners.

This is the worst customer service I have ever experienced at a restaurant. Our food was extremely late because it was clearly forgotten. There was no apology from the staff, and one worker even seemed annoyed when I inquired about my order. It appeared that once the restaurant started making money, they neglected basic customer service and management.

I also tried the little chicken baked rice with chili, priced at £3.45. When ordering, they asked if I wanted it spicy, and I said yes. Unfortunately, the rice was not cooked properly - it was either too hard or overcooked, which detracted from the meal. However, the fried egg pieces in the rice added a nice touch. The chicken was tender and flavorful, but the overall dish was ruined by the poorly cooked rice.
