Best Chinese food we’ve had in ages and we didn’t have to wait long either. Highly recommended.

We tried the lunchtime deal – one starter and one main course for £14.99. For starters, we had the pork belly and prawn dumplings. For mains, we chose dish 117 (stir-fried beef ho fun in soy sauce – we swapped the crispy noodles) and dish 122 (a stew of prawn, duck, and squid served with rice). The portions were generous and overall it was good value for money. The only downside was that it was a bit noisy inside. Also, we didn’t really enjoy dish 122 – the flavour combination wasn’t to our taste.
