  “I have just received a takeaway from here, I paid 36 pounds for prawn toast, special rice and 3 chicken wings delivered. The rice was the biggest let down, not only did it look completely different to the image on deliveroo, it was tasteless, the the little meat that was in it was old and rock hard. Prawn toast and wings were equally disappointing, greasy old crap. Do not order from here, it's a Saturday night your food should be fresh at the very least”

  “Really amazing, authentic Chinese food! Our personal favourite is the cumin beef — we had it so many times when we were living in Durham, and after moving down south, we really missed it. We came back recently and it was just as delicious as we remembered. The flavours were spot on, and it brought back so many great memories. Highly recommend — such a great place for authentic Chinese food!”

  “It is the 1st time I visited Durham and this restaurant. The colourful decorations are apparently targeted to young people. There are lots of dishes in the menu like spicy and non-spicy food, noodles, fried-rice and even Cobra beer. The portion is also surprisingly large. Food quality is very good with authentic tastes. The staff are very friendly, nice and helpful. Highly recommended to all Chinese food-lovers”

  “Thank you for the Chinese dumplings on winter solstice day! I also enjoyed my lunch at your restaurant. The clear broth fish soup is very nice and also enjoyed the beef slices and tripe. You food is excellent and service is friendly. Will visit again the next time I am in Durham!”

  “Excellent Szechuan restaurant, some of the best Szechuan cuisine I have eaten with very authentic flavours. I very much enjoyed their mouthwatering chicken and decided to eat in the restaurant this time. I highly recommended the dry wok brisket beef and wok fried spicy potatoes which were excellent dishes. The spice level and flavours were perfect and love the flavour in that chilli oil. If you are looking for authentic Szechuan cuisine I highly recommended this place. Much more interesting than traditional English standard Chinese cuisine.”

  “Traditional Chinese not your usual bog standard food. Only customers in were from the Chinese community which is always a good sign. Good service quickly served a real find .”

  “Really lovely food here. Lots of choice. Sweet and sour was gorgeous. They did forget one dish, so we had to chase. But apart from that no issues at all. Authentic Chinese, made freshly and came out piping hot. Would definitely go again.”

  “Came with my Chinese friend today. Was really disappointed, food was greasy and salty. Potatoes in the stew were fried. Chinese Hamburger - little fillings, deep fried dough bread. 70% of the menu are spicy food. Won’t come again.”

  “Fantastic Sichuan Restaurant. Popular amongst the Chinese students, don't expect traditional British Chinese food, instead enjoy great flavours, new ingredients and lots of spice.”
