Excellent food, had chicken and sweet corn soup and sweet sour chicken and also had some delicious prawn sesame rolls. Very quick service. When I got the bill they had added on an extra 10% service charge which I normally won't be happy about as I have a thing about tipping but I was happy to pay on this occasion. Whilst I was there, there was 's also lots of other young Chinese customers.

Absolute hidden gem! Fabulous authentic Cantonese food, excellent service and nice space. Prawn and chive dumpling just delicious with a huge whole prawn. Canβt wait to return.

The lunch and dinner deals are excellent value. You get to pretty much choose any starter and mains on the a la carte menu. I had a xiao long bao and a bowl of noodle for the main, all for under Β£15. The service was quick and efficient, great for a quick lunch bite.

We tried the lunchtime deal β one starter and one main course for Β£14.99. For starters, we had the pork belly and prawn dumplings. For mains, we chose dish 117 (stir-fried beef ho fun in soy sauce β we swapped the crispy noodles) and dish 122 (a stew of prawn, duck, and squid served with rice). The portions were generous and overall it was good value for money. The only downside was that it was a bit noisy inside. Also, we didnβt really enjoy dish 122 β the flavour combination wasnβt to our taste.

Amazing value & delicious Cantonese food. The evening set menu runs until 10pm and includes two courses for only Β£15 (with a variety of dishes across the menu). Beautifully clean and stylish restaurant with friendly staff. Weβll be back!

Lunchtime special for Β£13 is quick, tasty and a typical Cantonese. Decor has a modern twist with a grey banquet and white marble tables. Food will land within minutes of ordering and you wonβt wait long for a table (but you will probably wait!). Itβs funnels people in and out all lunch time between takeaways too. Itβs a busy spot and very popular. Chicken satay wasnβt overpowered by peanut sauce. Dim sum looked plump with good fillings. Stir fried rice and salt and pepper pork portion was huge - as were most dishes on the neighbouring tables. You get a lot for your money. Lunch was Β£18 with a starter, main, coke and service - set menu or Β£26 without the lunchtime deal starter and main plus beer and service. Service is quick but donβt expect to make jokes with your waiter - theyβre there to serve, clear, take payment and seat 4 more couples on your table after you have left. Itβs efficient, generous and a great lunchtime spot.

We arrived without reservations and were seated right away, which is already a plus. Staff is very friendly and willing to explain all questions about dishes. Food arrived quickly and was amazing. Overall a great experience. Lots of office workers so avoid peak times and you will have a pleasant quiet meal.

Hands down the best Chinese food we ever had. The chicken and sweet corn soup and vegetable spring rolls really hit the spot. The serving sizes were great and the meal was very flavourful. Onn was a super host who not only was friendly and funny but he gave us some great suggestions for our trip. If you are in town make sure to visit. You won't regret it.

Super tasty food, fast service and great price - dinner deal only 13 pounds for huge main and appetizer. Liked the squid the most and also steamed dumplings. Mains were huge but the taste could have been a bit stronger, was not very spicy. Crispy Duck was a bit disappointing. We were super happy to get so much food for this money and share and they were so welcoming so 100% recommend.

Thank you so much for all the good food. Me and my family were very impressed with the customer service of the employees here. The warm, welcoming smiles! Everything was impeccable; especially the attention to detail. Food was delicious! Definitely the best Chinese food I've tried in London. Please show some love for their hard work and support this amazing place!~
