Brilliant service. Highly recommended

An absolute awesome experience, the food was amazing as well as the service. I highly recommend this place for the best Chinese food in Margate. We got so engrossed in our lunch I didn't even get to take any photos....

Food and service were both good however it was cold in the restaurant which really does let the place down.

Ordered for delivery which hadn't arrived after the estimated 45mins. I called after an hour and was told the driver had left. After 20mins I called back to find out where the driver had got to and was told they had checked and the driver was on the way. 10mins later still no food so called back and was told driver had just left and they hung up the phone. Still no food 2 hours later and I asked if they could cancel the order online so I can get a refund and again they hung up the phone. Terrible service.

Excellent dishes. Warm, hearty people. Quick service. I would prefer Chinese music but apart from that, great. Try the ice cream in a coconut shell, pretty cool.

They charge you for your plates you don't finish when you pay for "all you can eat"We've just left here, all in all good was alright tasting hygiene was fine nothing special but the prices were ridiculous and for two people ended up spending upwards of £80!Also we opted for the all you can eat option that they offer for £26.45 which is reasonable. Read the info on the menu that you couldn't take any of your unfinished food home which is understandable. But we're not told at any point nor was it written that if we ordered a dish and didn't finish the entire thing we would be charged full price for that dish! So order carefully as when we argued this the staff were rude and dismissive of the fact that this should have been told before hand.

Slow service, small portions, high prices, cramped room, and over priced! One small plate only for entire meal. Don't bother.

First of all, I’ve never experienced such absolutely abhorrent customer service. All of the staff here are extremely rude and it is clear all they want is your money. We arrived at the restaurant at 7 (bare in mind our booking was for 7) and waited for at least 5 minutes standing around in the restaurant before the staff even bothered to come and greet/seat us, this should’ve been the red flag that sent me running out but i made the mistake of saying. After going through the painful process of speaking to the waitresses (again extremely rude and have a horrible attitude), we were brought our lukewarm food that left a lot to be desired, not only this but they took it upon themselves to merge our food orders for a table of 4 people, we ordered 3 portions of something and they would bring out 1 only responding with an eye roll or more terrible attitude when asked for the rest of the dishes. About an hour into our meal, one of the waitresses came over and tried to rush us onto the mains (an extremely limited selection) and once met with rejection began to shout and scream about how we have been here over an hour and a half and we are only allowed this last order of food (“all you can eat” apparently) and that we needed to leave despite other customers having been in the restaurant longer than us. All in all the service experienced here is utterly disgusting and I wouldn’t subject my dog to this treatment let alone myself, this place is a typical money pit designed to rinse you of every coin you have all in all whilst treating you less than human. And get this, they have the nerve to try and add a 10% “service” charge, you get better service from your school canteen lady and you don’t see her asking for handouts. TERRIBLE RESTAURANT DO NOT VISIT!!!!!!

Awful place. All you can eat was a lie. Went as a table for 20 and they kept bringing out tiny portions. They gave us 1 round of starters which were supposed to be for a 2, (we were sat in a four) then they gave us shared rice which would feed 1 person in our table of four. Ended up ordering 4 times just to feel full. Was an absolute joke.

Ordered from just eat chicken skewers was cold, to cold was worrying. Nobody wants to eat wondering if they will be ill. 25 pounds for oderves and quater of duck for 2 and still hungry. I won't be back not worth 2.3 hours of hard work for.

Went for dinner yesterday with my son, we both had the £24.99 per person and choose anything from the menu and as much as you can eat. Not a buffet which we prefer as food not sitting there all day etc. It’s a really lovely way to try things you have never tried before on Chinese and Cantonese food. Portions are small in a positive way so you don’t get full up quickly, leaves you space to try different food. Have to say we really enjoyed it. A great place to hang and chat while enjoying delicious food experiences and beverages were cold. The young English bloke that serves us really lovely, friendly and helpful. We’ll definitely be back. Just so you know they do 10% off on birthdays under 10yrs old eat for £10.00 but needs ID.Thanks guys for your lovely food and service ?

Food absolutely mediocre. Satay chicken overcooked and dry, chicken balls burnt, beef with veg had like 2 bits of beef and a load of random veg chucked in with watery tasteless sauce. Spring rolls again burnt and tasteless. Chicken with cashew nuts was again watery sauce a load of random veg 4 tiny bits of chicken and a tasteless sauce. One of the worst Chinese meals ever had. Take your business elsewhere and dont waste your money or time with this place.

Ordered pork dumplings, they were nice! But the chilli beef tasted like dessert. No spice at all.
