A really first class sophisticated chinese resterant. The dumpings are the best and do try the pork main. It literally melts in ones mouth. The service is attentive and the absence lovely. I only wish I didn't live 500 miles away

Everything was ok, but not amazing. I don’t feel the experience matches the price; the food was good but not memorable considering it’s £22-32 for a main + rice/noodles. The server took my order, then another server came and again asked for the order, but neither server asked at any point whether everything is ok. I ordered what should be the spiciest dish; it wasn’t spicy (except a couple of slices of chilli). The £12 cocktail tasted only of cheap tequila. Portions were not large, especially the rice at £3.80 (surely it costs them almost nothing to give you more rice). There is no ambiance at all, it could be any small-town cafe or restaurant. Sadly I won’t be going back.
