Reviewers are split, but the homemade dim sum draws the strongest praise, with a family from Hong Kong calling it fantastic. Close behind are the salt and chilli squid, fried rice and fish portions, plus a munch box that staff adapt on request. Several describe food that arrived piping hot and quickly, including delivery on a Saturday night, and one mentions a lovely driver. A pool table to pass the time gets a mention too.

“Literally disgusted. Beef is like cardboard, chicken so chewy, rice just no flavour. All of it was horrible. It's literally microwaved and break a tooth trying to eat it. Horrible waste of money.”
- Luisa D'Angelo
“Love it here, my partner and I go regularly and switch it up with delivery and collection. We often get the same and they adapt when we want to change items in our munch box. Accept cash or card and the staff are lovely. We love killing time by playing their little pool table!”

“We recently ordered some fried rice, salt and chilli squid and fish portions. The food was really nice and tasty. The portion sizes were good too. They have a range of options in the menu to pick from and the price is decent too. Thank you.”

“My partner always goes here as it's only across the road but the food even though it's hot it just seems to me that it's never cooked right..ie the veg usually has a nice soft crunch but I find it to be practically raw and the meat is always tough. Rice ain't too bad though but overall it's a 👎👎👎👎”
- Paul Ingrey
“Great food but if you go in to order the teenage lads social club front of house is very off putting. 'Oi, heres your order' manners cost nothing and those lads need to have far greater respect for customers and thier employers Shame as the food is very good.”
