Customer Review Summary
The homemade tofu and vegan menu dominate the feedback, with reviewers repeatedly calling the plant-based dishes superior to other Bristol Chinese spots, singling out tofu in lemon sauce and tofu dishes generally as standouts. Close behind, meat options draw praise too, with one order of salt and pepper chicken, Singapore style vermicelli, spring rolls, and curry sauce described as "10/10" across the board, and crispy chilli beef mentioned by name as well. Several note the kitchen will accommodate requests outside the printed menu, like swapping chicken for tofu. Service comes up consistently as friendly and quick, and multiple reviewers call the prices good value. One recent reviewer, while still rating the visit highly, felt a crispy chilli beef portion was on the small side and suggested the serving size could improve. Otherwise the pattern across reviews is steady, with several describing consistent quality on repeat orders over time.

“Consistently good chinese takeaway. Worth travelling for. Vegan options are great and tofu is amazing.”
- Charlie Clark
“Such a great hidden gem, some of the best Chinese takeaway food I've had in Bristol and lovely service, with a plant based menu too! They make their own tofu also which is a huge bonus.”
- Kayleigh Slocombe
“Amazing chinese takeaway, everything was 10/10 and the vegan menu is unreal. Was super quick as well”
- Rajitha Rebecca Ratnam
“Great vegan options! Plus they have been nice and agreed to give me things that aren't on the menu, like tofu in lemon sauce instead of chicken. Really well priced too.”
- Mr Shapcott
“Stunning Sunday night take away from Gold Star in Redfield. Large menu which caters for meat and veggie. Good value, quality and prices. My favourite Chinese in Bristol!”
