Delicious food, and friendly service. Not the quickest meal but everything cooked to order and well worth the wait. Looking forward to our next visit to Loughborough!. thank you for lovely afternoon.

I don’t know that all my friends from college come here to eat Chinese food... all the dishes are basically pre-made. The simplest and most basic Chinese food, such as fried dumplings and lion heads, are not as good as Ele.me, which has the lowest rating in China. Takeaway restaurants...the pan-fried dumplings taste like they have just been taken out of the refrigerator and haven't had time to thaw, let alone the lion's head ones. . Whose lion head is so small? ? Are you sure this is a Chinese restaurant? ?

Best authentic Szechuan and few other Chinese cuisines - Food is not modified to Western taste; it is the most closely eating Chinese Food in China.Personally, my retrospective memory of going to this place a decade ago, and the menu was only written in Mandarin, and I was the only western eating there surrounded by far eastern patrons. The staff by then (usually international Chinese students) read you aloud in their best English and explain each choice. The owner, a kind Chinese man, used to have several restaurants in Loughborough, including the missed MeetAll, to serve a 5-star Chinese cuisine (ornamented food that was almost a shame to be eaten).Currently, the Szechuan is up to date with Chinese/English menus and delivery service.This is an excellent opportunity to try authentic Szechuan cuisine out of China. Great Hot-Pot choice or "à-la-carte" off the Szechuan menu.Sadly, not a place to retake my old mum, with a more conventional western taste. Although, they can accommodate similar westernised food versions.The only downside is the cash-only requirement, knowing this to keep prices more affordable.Get cash in advance, or you can get it whilst they prepare your food order.For a more traditional Chinese food, there are abundant good choices around Loughborough. Plenty of Chinese/Asian/Fusion restaurants has been established in this town for extensive years, which I also endorse.Covid-secure improvements at the entrance with hand-sanitiser and acrylic dividers between tables currently in place make a meal inside as safe as possible. Food maintained the quality and consistency of always.

Walked in to an empty restaurant (2 people aready eating) at 10 minutes to 9pm and was told they couldn't serve us (2 people) food as they closed at 10pm. Do not want to be cynical, but I didn't think that 1 hrs 10 minutes was too short a time to cook 2 people a light meal. Clearly the restaurant closes at 9pm, not the stated 10pm.

We moved in Loughborough area in November and since we discovered this little gem is our to go when we feel like a cinese night. It Never disappointed us, portions are big and prices are very reasonable, when we do delivery, they are also very quick. Thank you ? we love all your dishes.

I really enjoy their Dan dan noodles, I could not find them on the menu that was initially brought but when I asked about them, the waitress gave me another menu with more complex dishes that I had never seen before elsewhere. I was really thrilled to try their food as it is not easy to find a Szechuanese restaurant, and I will go back to try more dishes! I gave 4 stars as I had to seat in an awkward position while eating due to the grill set up under the table that did not leave any space for sitting with the legs under the table.

Only one waiter handling guests, delivery and phone, so service a bit chaotic, though friendly.Really good food. Szechuan - but actually serve a huge range of Chinese food. But they do have the equipment for hot-pot.

Really authentic northern and Sichuan Chinese food. Big portion and really reasonably priced.
