Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often point to the hotpot and bbq sharing platter as the draw, with several describing the hotpot set menu as generous and cost effective for groups and the bbq platter praised for service and value. Others single out the pickled vegetable fish soup and mala fried chicken as must-tries, and the pork ribs with melted cheese also get a mention. The ipad ordering system is noted repeatedly, mostly favorably for speed, though a couple find it impersonal. A real split shows up on quality: multiple diners describe the soup dumplings and bao buns as dry, tasteless, or store bought frozen, and one recounts a wontan soup with an off base and stale-tasting dumplings, plus meat that seemed reheated rather than fresh. One diner who tried twice says the basic dishes didn't hold up and wouldn't return. Several who enjoyed their visit mention a server who went out of the way to help with the order and deliver food promptly.

“If I could put zero stars I would. I was so excited to order from here and was instantly disappointed, the “soup” dumplings were dry and tasteless. The bao buns tasted store bought and frozen and don’t get me started on the bbq …”

“We had a wonderful experience with the bbq sharing platter. The service was incredible and the food superb and reasonably priced. I will be returning to sample some of the other options. Thank you for looking after us.”

“Amazing food, great drinks, had the pork ribs with melted cheese (had the bbq last time i went and it was amazing). One of the best restaurants in Durham!”
- Steven YUE
“A mixed menu selection of staple chinese foods on the menu. With typical modern chinese tablet ordering Process. As a Party of 3 persons, hungry and realised most good eateries needed to be booked on the weekends. We ordered typical dishes with steamed buns, roast meat dishes and wontan soup. Unfortunately, the quality of food was very poor. The soup base was off and the dumplings tasted old and nothing reassembled a wonton dumpling. The meat was not fresh but passable after bring microwaved and the steamed buns completely tasteless. We made a comment to the staff with a blank expression and no reply. I would recommend to avoid this Establishment.”

“Absolutely loved the food, and it gets more cost effective the more people you have. We had the hot pot set menu and it was more than enough for 2 of us. Also want to give a shout out to our server, he went above and beyond to deliver our food and did a great job! 👍”
