Customer Review Summary
King prawns are the most repeated draw, described as big and crunchy, with one reviewer saying they are to die for. Close behind are the ribs, called meaty, and the beef fillets, a cut one diner notes most Chinese restaurants don't use. Others single out shredded duck pancakes and beef in black bean sauce from the set menu. Portions are described as plentiful, and one couple liked leaving satisfied rather than stuffed, unlike at all you can eat places. Reviewers praise tables with cloths and soft lighting, and staff who coped with large birthday parties, took one allergy order separately and kept the water jug topped up. Several say the food still came promptly on a busy night. The one sharply negative review comes from a first-time visitor who found the chicken curry watery, greasy and low on flavour, and the chips bland, more like fries. The restaurant compensated that diner.

“First time I visited this place and probably the last. Ordered Chicken Curry and Salt and Chilli Chips. The curry was more like a soup,watery and greasy and hardly any flavour.. The chips are fries and so bland. Nothing like you would expect . We were compensated but it was very poor in my opinion.”
