Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the huge chicken spring rolls, described as packed with fresh veg and bigger than expected. Close behind are the salt and pepper king prawn main, the Mongolian lamb called tender and flavourful, and crispy prawns paired with chilli oil. One diner praises the satay fillet steak. The menu draws repeated mentions for dietary needs: a coeliac diner and another gluten free guest were pleased by the extent of the choices, including shredded chilli beef, and two reviewers note the large vegan and plant based range. Several describe hot, flavourful food, and the kitchen adjusted for one table's spicy requests. Service is called attentive and friendly, with the owner visiting tables to talk guests through the menu. Reviewers also mention a spotless restaurant and a bar where one party had a drink while waiting for a table on a Saturday without a booking. No complaints appear in the reviews. One diner in a wheelchair says the table was arranged so they could stay in their chair, and another says their daughter loved the automatic door on the loos.

“Phenomenal ⭐️ the welcome, service and food were all top class. By far the best Chinese food I’ve eaten, and 1 of our group was vegan and delighted by the range of options. I had Satay Fillet Steak, highly recommend”

“Just visited for the very first time, and I was blown away by how good it was! It was great to see such a large and varied plant based menu. Everything was spectacular, from the food to the service, and I can't wait to return and sample more of the menu.”

“Food was absolutely delicious! The Mongolian lamb is a must‑try — tender, flavourful, and perfectly cooked. The surprise star was the crispy prawns: juicy, crunchy, and cooked to perfection. Add a bit of chilli oil and they become pure heaven!”

“Visited here for the first time today as a birthday outing. Highly recommend food and service were first class nothing was too much trouble. All areas were extremely clean. I was in a wheelchair so table was sorted out so I could stay in wheelchair. For what food and drink we ordered found the cost to be very reasonable. Will definitely be going again in the future. Mr Chan's restaurant thank you for such an enjoyable experience 😊”

“Haven’t been here for years and heard they did gluten free. There is a full menu that does not disappoint. I was able to have shredding chilli beef which I’ve not been able to eat for a long time, I was impressed by the extent of the menu! Charlie is so friendly and the staff are very attentive. Thank you! I”
