Good selection on the menu and some dishes were very good. However, the amount of MSG used was way too much and caused some of my party a sleepless night. For anyone that doesn't know, MSG is used in many Chinese restaurants as a flavor enhancer. You will know if too much has been used as it will make you thirsty, overheated and will keep you awake. Basically you get a hangover. Good chefs do not use MSG!

Beware of this! Asked about the Christmas buffet & told the difference between normal & Christmas was that it included all seafood dish’s which was no problem as one of the girls doesn’t eat seafood & the other was a vegan & they would both prefer to eat from the normal menu. I booked the table for four adults & upon arrival told the owner/manager that two would eat from the normal menu & two would do the buffet as per the offer which states it is for a minimum of two persons. He then said that everyone on the table had to eat the Christmas buffet & wouldn’t budge from that position!? There is no mention of that on any of the pages here, on their website or on the printed buffet menu on the table & he agreed it wasn’t stated anywhere on his advertising. I asked him at least three times to be sensible & he said he wouldn’t serve us unless we all ate the buffet. At that point we obviously left the restaurant & we will never return having eaten buffet there many times over the last couple of years!!!!What would happen if you took young kids, vegans, vegetarians or someone with allergies to certain dishes? Does he seriously expect everyone to pay the same £29.50 plus 10% service charge in top…totally unbelievable!!!!

Myself and family and friend went for my birthday dinner this evening, a meal for 7 but 2 where young men of seven years old, I was immediately told of how to order from the set meal menu as the buffet wasn’t on a Monday and that this way there would be lots of food for the children too, our two waiters where friendly and very helpful in fact the service was great, the food came out with starters which we shared then a duck course and then mains, the food was very good and very delicious, I was then treated to a bottle of wine for my birthday, I will definitely be back soon x

Was a good restaurant. The only that let it down was the constant nagging from staff asking if we are finished. Which made us feel like we had to leave in a hurry which was uncomfortable.

7 of us went for what we thought would be a nice meal. The food was average at best, the service was horrendous, the staff are all very young but clearly lack any sort of training. It’s also expensive for what it is. We went on a Saturday evening and there was only 1 other group in there, I think the lack of custom shows how this place has gone downhill

Food was amazing and staff were all

Terrible food! Rated highly on Ubereats but I imagine that’s because the app asks you to rate the delivery, not the food!Bland chewy sweet and sour HK style, the S&S balls were even worse! Over cooked batter! Terrible experience, won’t be ordering from here again!

This was the worst Chinese restaurant I have ever been in. I can only say one thing, please send Gordon Ramsey in there he would have a field day.

We ordered our chinese and it came within 15 mins ..it was the worse chinese we have had ..the chicken balls was more batter and soggy than chicken the chowmeing was unedible..the squid terrible . the lamb pancakes was expensive but dont mind if its good and it wasnt good it was just full of fat no meat .The curry was unedible sorry will not reorder ever again
Really nice food but wasn't happy with a service charge.

Previous meals here have been good. Not the same today. Batter on prawns tasted oily and stale. Barely warm. Similar story with the chips which were soggy and undercooked. Only thing half decent was the chow mein.

I couldn't post my review on uber but I'll post it here. This place had become my food for comfort during bad times. It always brings me happiness when I get my favourite food and every tike I try new things from the menu it never disappoints. I have also recommended this place to everyone I know to try the food. ❤️

Ordered takeaway. The food was delivered quickly and was hot, but it tasted very bland. I was also surprised at the cost. I paid £45+ for four dishes (inc delivery) These are London prices for less than average food. Will not purchase again.

We ordered a takeaway from here after a long time and I have to say we were very disappointed. The chicken Schezuan was very very oily and no taste. The noodles were ok but had better. The sale and chilli chicken was very soggy. Overall not happy and unfortunately will not be ordering again. Moreover took over an hour for our delivery. The app just kept changing the time.
Great food, great food ? ? everything perfect ? ?
