Customer Review Summary
Peking duck draws the most praise, reviewers describe it served with pancakes, spring onion and a tasty sauce, and one diner says the crispy duck here beats what they've had in London. Close behind, prawn toast comes up repeatedly as a standout, alongside the Mongolian lamb fillet, a fried fish with tofu dish, and a custard bun one reviewer suspects is made in house. Several mention a free soup starter and friendly staff, with more than one calling the food fresh and well presented. A recurring caveat is that dine-in is described as more authentic while takeaway leans toward British Chinese style, and one reviewer found the card machine down, cash only that visit. One reviewer reports being sent an incorrect order that disregarded allergy information and says complaints went unanswered, planning to report it to food standards and hygiene, an account distinct from the otherwise positive pattern. Most others describe good value and returning after long gaps to find the food still fantastic.
