Went to the wrong place but how lucky we were to find this little gem of a place. Two ladies both very friendly and welcoming. The food was presented well and was hot and tasty. Best chicken schezwan we have tasted. Excellent customer service . Thank you : we will definitely be back again.

This was a very disappointing experience. Foolishly, I did not follow my 'entry level test' for a Chinese restaurant i.e. are there any Chinese people eating there? There was not, but went ahead based on reviews and the fact that it was in a very convenient location for us. We were given a 2-hour window for our 'dining experience' which is fine as this is common practice. However, it becomes less fine when certain things/starters on the menu take half an hour to prepare, so in effect you cannot have them. I have eaten many, many times in hundreds of restaurants in China and the food in this place bore no resemblance to proper Chinese food. I appreciate that Chinese food here is cooked to the UK palate, but two of the dishes that we had were cooked to 'zero palate'. My partner had the rainbow chicken special. It was thin, pale, tasteless strips of cheap and nasty chicken with some red and yellow peppers (hence the rainbow). It was the most bland and tasteless dish I have ever tasted. No (or at least extremely little) ginger, chili, garlic...anything. She ate about a third of it and gave up. I had the Thai Royal Tom Yam Chicken: "A delicious Thai Dish. The bed of Chicken is marinated slightly, deep fried with the delicious touch of Sweet Chilli Sauce & flavoured with Lemon Grass" It was a fried/deep fried breaded piece of chicken smothers in off the shelf sweet chilli sauce. It had never seen lemon grass and did not include a single Thai ingredient except the chilli dipping sauce that had been poured all over it. It was simply the worst dish I had ever had in any restaurant. Quite rightly, they did not charge us for my dish, and, in fairness the others in our party said their food was OK/good. My daughter had sea bream (I think) and that was really good - good perfectly and with some good flavour. It seems they use their 'specials' to make a killing by serving food that costs nothing to produce and calling it a special 'lures' people in. The restaurant was full and everyone seemed to be enjoying their meals, but then, I wonder how many of the white middle aged customers had eaten much proper Chinese food. So, in short, this restaurnat might be OK for you, but not if you want proper, tasty Chinese cuisine.
