   We had a take away and everything was terrible. The Singapore fried noodles and the egg fried rice were the worst. No flavour and very dry. We had not been there for years. It was a good place, sadly there is no reminiscent of its old days

   First time eating at this restaurant and it will be the last time too unfortunately. The place is itself is a little tired and in need of a revamp, it was also quite gloomy and I know these are old buildings but there were stand heaters by the table to warm it up. We had a dinner reservation on a Thursday and the place was empty for the entirety of the meal which was a bit awkward. Some of the dining area is separated by some bead type drapes and in the gloom you could see someone down there portioning out prawn crackers and the waitresses would go down there and wait for you to finish etc. just a bit of a weird set up and felt like you couldn't really relax. Sadly, the food was not great. It came out so quickly after ordering that it can only have been microwaved. The portions were on the small side and the meat was dry and chewy. I'm sorry to give a negative review but it just wasn't great and despite the staff being very friendly, I would not go back.

   Came with the family. We ordered the same amount of dishes we would at any Chinese restaurant that we go to. Food was good quality and tasty but portions were tiny. We left all feeling hungry still. Had to pop into tesco around the corner to buy some snacks

   Cosy interior and good service so a shame the food wasn't good. Soups and crispy duck was OK but the mains we had were so salty as to be almost inedible.

   Sadly it was very quiet for a Saturday meal. Food here is fantastic and it's a really nice restaurant. Sad to see only 2 or 3 tables booked. Great staff and great food.

   I ordered the beef and black bean sauce for myself, thai green curry, rice and spring rolls. They make the BEST beef and black bean sauce and nothing will ever top it. Perfect balance of flavours in their dishes. Always feel amazing and perfectly full after a meal there. The restaurant has a very warm and welcoming feel to it, especially with their friendly staff. I always look forward to ordering with them.

   If you are looking for a quiet place to enjoy you Chinese, then this hidden pearl is the place to go to. The restaurant looks like nothing from outside, but indoor is a warm and cosy atmosphere. The owner, who is doing most of the serving, is a warm and funny personality. Food is very good quality, taste and flavour, and the decoration is inviting. Price is average but quality is high. You definitely get more and better food and atmosphere here than what you are paying for.

   Obviously I have a local bias but this is the best Chinese food I've ever eaten. It's great either as takeaway or eating in, the waiting staff are lovely, and will let you take things home if you can't finish them in the restaurant. The crispy duck is brilliant, the smoked shredded chicken (bright red) is amazing, very salty and garlicy, the sizzling dishes are also very good.
