  “One of the best dim sum and roast duck restaurants we have visited in the UK! I love that dim sums are plump and it comes with 4 for regular dim sums. The roast trio was also good, siu yuk had crispy skin and the roast duck skin had a slight crisp that resembles Peking duck. All staffs were super friendly and welcoming. Will be back soon!”

  “We came here while on holiday after seeing all the great reviews, and it was definitely worth a visit. The service was excellent throughout. Our first order of the crispy durian pastry was still frozen in the middle, but the staff apologised and quickly replaced it with a freshly cooked one. The Sweet & Sour Crispy Pork was delicious. It’s a little different from the traditional version as you pour the sauce over yourself, which keeps the coating nice and crispy. The portions were very generous. My husband felt there wasn’t much monkfish in the monkfish dish, and we thought the xiao long bao were just average. Overall, the prices were very reasonable. We paid just over £110 for five people, which we thought was great value. We’d happily come back.”

  “Why??? Why did I not come here sooner? It’s probably one of the most authentic dim sum places i’ve come across. And I don’t hate to say it, but for a chinese restaurant the service was top notch. Attentive staff and friendly.(not many cases as such) The food comes out hot and fresh. I definitely will be back to try out more of the menu. Oh ya I got take away since I was so impressed by the dim sum. Got Crispy Noodle Beef Chow Mein and Dry Beef Ho Fun both dishes were great! This place knows how to make soft beef.”

  “We landed on airport from Cancun ( 10 hrs flight ) around 10am . After solved our luggage’s , take train to city and walk to this restaurant at 12:05pm , it on second floor , few customers walk down told that already full house , at lease 1.5hrs table waiting 🙀! They just open on 12noon ! We tried ours best to pulled the door and ask , only table for two ! Very lucky the set up a small table for us . After order six dim-sum and a roast pork rice .. .. meals serve times 25mins to a hours 😪, even really delicious,but the mood of eating get cool down . Maybe skip the rush hours will get better experience.”

  “Service was great, very attentive and polite staffs. I was quite looking forwards to the meal as I saw many good reviews online. However the taste was quite disappointing :’( 红米肠 was indeed good. The rest was mid. Real mid. 鲜虾肠粉 was BAD.. the skin has a very weird texture. We ordered chicken feet rice instead was given chicken feet+rib rice, which we were fine. We ordered 黄金馒头 but was delivered the custard bun, I did confirm with the staff and he confidently said is mantou.. Portion is quite big. I would expect a better taste in Chinatown Manchester.”

  “The best Chinese and Dim Sum food I’ve had in many years excellent quality. What seemed like homemade fresh dim sum, fresh quality sea bass and very impressive roasted chicken with plenty of meat on the bones. Loved the furnishing and great efficient service. We will be returning!”

  “Arriving in Manchester's Chinatown, I found a Chinese restaurant with excellent food quality and attentive service. The wide variety of food options allowed me to enjoy delicious Cantonese cuisine, and the dim sum was particularly tasty. It was truly a great choice.”

  “An authentic Cantonese yum-cha (drink tea) is always not just about tea. Dim sum here are authentic - from the order sheet - they are in stream, deep fried, cheong fun (rice roll) and specialty categories. Nonetheless they are in Traditional Chinese characters. We ordered a pot of jasmine tea to begin with, then ticked the boxes for our order. 盅飯 stream rice w/ short ribs and chicken feet was served in a 煲仔飯 clay pot rice portion. 馬拉糕 sponge cake was almost the taste we had in Hong Kong. Almost perfect for everything except the tea. Wish the aroma and aftertaste could be stronger. I always like paying attention to details that tell the vibe - Golden oldies in Cantopop and Mandopop played in the background and Feng Shui fish in the tank facing the till counter. A bit of Chinese decor at every corner/ wall/ window pane.”

  “Amazing Chinese oriental cuisine in Manchester! I absolutely loved their siu mai pork and shrimp dumplings—so juicy, flavorful, and perfectly made. You can really taste the quality in every bite. The restaurant also has great Chinese vibes, from the décor to the atmosphere, which makes the whole dining experience feel authentic and cozy. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to again and again. Highly recommend! 🥟✨”
