Customer Review Summary

Reviewers return most for the traditional Chinese menu, praising its Szechuan dishes as authentic and full of flavour. The fried crispy boneless chicken with dried chilli is called the star of one visit, and the beef with chilli stew, the cold pork appetizer in spicy garlic sauce, and the salt and pepper chicken also draw praise. Close behind is the staff, described as friendly, attentive and happy to advise on the menu, which several reviewers say helps when choosing. Portions are called generous and the food freshly made, and some mention quick service. Takeaway and delivery customers report food arriving hot, including the sweet chilli shredded chicken, with one noting delivery was super quick. A regular singles out hot jasmine tea with the meal. No recurring complaint appears in the reviews. Several diners say they come often with friends and family, and one was reassured to see cutlery taken straight from the disinfection cabinet.

    “Fabulous restaurant 👌. Food was delicious, big portions with plenty to share (if you're feeling generous ) and served reasonably quickly, especially when everything is freshly made. Service was excellent, our waitress was friendly, helpful with choice and continued to top up drinks when needed. Would definitely visit again and I highly recommend.”

    “I cannot recommend this place enough for authentic, high quality chinese and especially szechaun cuisine. The staff are exceptional and treat us extremely well every time. We come here very often with friends and family and always leave satisfied. The portions are generous and the food freshly made. Top tip: Don't be afraid of something different to standard takeaway fare, and always ask for the traditional menu as you cannot go wrong with anything on there and the choice is fantastic! The staff can always recommend something if you struggle with choice paralysis.”
  • Mr. Bear
    “Here they have both what I call the Chinese Chinese menu and the English Chinese menu. Having been to Beijing we went here in search of Authentic food, we were not disappointed. The staff are happy to advise and go through the menu. Food was delicious, staff friendly and attentive and cost was reasonable. We didn’t need to book and went early on a Friday night. It’s licensed, bottle of red wine £21.”

    “Where to start with this one? What a night, what a meal. Had the cold appetizer pork with spicy garlic sauce, beef with chilli stew for main with egg fried rice. Accompanied by 2x pints of ice cold cobra lager. The appetizer was sweet and didn't disappoint on the spice front. The dry heat from the dry chilli's in the main was really what I was after, made with fresh coriander and tender beef that melted in the mouth. The pints were perfectly poured at optimal chill factor, and perfectly cut through the heat of the dish. Big snooker fans so hopefully the GOAT Wu Yize will make his way in at some point and sign a photo. Thanks for the meal and until next time.”
