Customer Review Summary
Diners repeatedly point to the chilli beef and lychee prawns as standouts, with the crispy shredded chicken and sweet and sour chicken also drawing praise, alongside dim sum and prawn toast starters. Several reviewers describe the food as full of flavour and beautifully presented, arriving hot, with generous portions large enough to take home. Many describe the atmosphere as comfy and the space as newly renovated, and the staff and owner are repeatedly called friendly and attentive, with one reviewer recalling being offered plum wine to try. One reviewer suggests booking in advance since the restaurant is often full. Against this, one takeaway order fell flat, with the reviewer describing the beef chow mein as bland and greasy and saying they'd likely stick to dining in rather than reordering delivery. Multiple reviewers say they returned across repeat visits, including one family planning to come back for a child's birthday.

“Ordered through the Deliveroo App and collected myself. The service was quite friendly and the atmosphere of the place was really nice. Unfortunately I'm not sure if it was just a bad batch but the food was quite bland, especially the Beef Chow Mein, I understand Chinese food can be quite greasy at times but when there's little to no flavour and a lot of grease, it wasn't the best experience. Might still try eating in but probably won't order as takeaway again in the near future.”

“Always incredible food for a really good price! I really love this place, it is a blessing to have such high quality gluten free food close to home. The crispy shredded chicken and the sweet and sour chicken are so so good, and the service is exemplary!”
