High quality dim sum and amazing value at 3 dishes for £12! My 2nd visit here, on a Saturday afternoon. There was a wait before being served but there was a lot of customers in. The 2-seater tables are on a side room which isn't ideal but no matter, a minor niggle. Highly recommended.
1245pm ordered food, only rice and noodles arrives in 20 mins, the 3 roastie rice was just warm. waited another 35 mins, we complained about the dim sum, waited 5 mins finally arrived. One dim sum was cold inside, returned to kitchen. In my present i noticed lack of staff to serve. Kitchen is also slow.
Food was average. Quite full during weekdays. We usually order dim sum and some rices/ noodles. For dim sum, Har gau and sliced Ox's Tongue, Tripe And Heart In Chilli Sauce With Crushed Peanuts are my favourite. 3 for £12 (choose from the list) for lunch time is a good deal. A few parking slots outside the restaurant.
They have a great lunch time offer, which was £12 for 3 dimsum and the main dishes are £10. For the price the dimsum was actually pretty decent, the siu mai skin was falling off though, which was a slight negative for me but the flavour was there. I enjoyed the rest of the dimsum. It was extremely busy during lunch especially with the deal, so the food took longer than expected and it was difficult to get the attention of any waiters/waitress.
We starting queuing before opening time, restaurant opened at 12pm got seated quickly. All seatings got filled up quick, fairly busy place. We ordered dim sums, rice dish and a noodle dish. 3 for £12 dim sum offer not bad. Also refillable, unlimited pot of Chinese tea. Delicious and piping hot food
I and my wife had three dim sum and a pork stir fried flat noodle for our lunch today. Two out of three dim sum, ie steamed black bean garlic spare rib and siu mai were not up to my expectation. Though, the fried prawn bean curb roll was quite good. The steamed spare rib was too garlicky and a little bit salty and not tasted authentic hong kong style, the meat itself had been processed to be too soft. The siu mai tasted quite bland. The stir fried pork flat noodle was just rated average, the pork was tasteless, wok hei was okay. But, dark residues, which falling off from the wok surface while cooking, were found in the dish was not acceptable to my standards. Perhaps I may visit again to try the main dishes, but I would definitely not visit again for the dim sum.
All dishes we ordered tonight were fairly delicious. Roasted duck and the soup that came with it are especially recommended. Beef slices and fried squids are also nice. Overall it’s a Chinese restaurant above average in Manchester.
They have very good choices of Hakka, Cantonese and Peking dishes. The Hakka dishes particularly made me feel home. Taste is great, 9 out of 10 for the most but 7 for some to improve. The service is applaudable.
Nice food and friendly staff. We always get food coupon for the next visit as we ordered so much food. I love the spicy beef and roast duck with pancake. Lamb stew is a little bit watery with the sauce. The golden yolk fried prawn and tofu are very tasty too.
