They charge the quality of the food over the years. Super good 3-4 years ago. Now is okish. Per exemplar Beef braided flank, before you get it with carrots and black fungus mushrooms now is coming with tomatoes 🍅, huge difference in taste. Eventually you understand cuz is the inflation cut the quality keep the price change the cook etc. reasons. I'm ordering only "Boiled Fish Fillet with Pickled Vegetables in Soup with Vermiceli", similar the same. 😊

A gem of a restaurant by Limehouse station. Service and food impeccable - real northern cuisine with the lovely Sichuan taste with some dishes.

My absolute favourite Chinese restaurant! I love the food and the service is always nice and welcoming. Only for Ambiente 3 stars - but I don’t mind that because I go there for the food and i actually love the authentic touch of the „just chairs and tables“. It makes you feel a bit like a holiday in China. I can definitely recommend it IF you are into authentic Chinese food. Lots of spices, chili and very rich flavours.
