Definitely one of my favorite Chinese restaurants in the City, go there for lunch quite often with colleagues. We love their food as all dishes are flavorful and come in very good portion as well. Plenty of space in the restaurant but they still tend to get really busy during lunch or dinner time.

Since 2008, I have been dinning in this place. There are up and downs, I see mixed reviews. Not sure what people are looking for when they come to this restaurant, for me the food is the only thing that matters when I come here. The dishes are not as good as 15 years ago but still the best compare to other Northwestern restaurants in London. Some of their popular dishes are still great, just don’t order random new dishes, they are pretty bad. The place has been newly decorated but still feels a bit worn out, the lighting could be a bite better. The place smell of mold, I am sure that’s something it can be easily fixed. There was a stupid woman / waitress everyone talks about, I have also experienced my self, she is a truly wast of space, I am glad I haven’t seen her today. I hope the owner can keep it up and make some simple improvements.

It’s been only 6 months since I lived here. But this is the best chinese restaurant ever. The price is relatively cheap compared to other restaurant and the taste is really authentic. Ah, it’s just full of love, I like chinese food. I’ve known this 3 days ago. This is the best. Please try to pork dishes.

One of my favourite restaurants in london to which I have been over 38 times now. I recommend going in a group where this provides exceptional value for money. There are some amazing dishes such as the Drypot beef, lamb skwerers, spicy cucumber salad, and the long beans with minced pork is sublime. Also they do a lovely refreshing pint of Cobra. This is a no nonnsense place that has been around for decades.

The place has amazing atmosphere, it suddenly takes you from a back street of Brick Lane and teleports you somewhere in China. But it deserves 3/5 stars only because it is extremely expensive and the service is not on par with it.

That being said, most of the dishes on the menu are tasty and they are as authentic as they can be. Still, they lack a bit of taste, some need more salt or a bit less spicy. But they are authentic and a lot better than the one in Chinatown.

At the end of the day, I'd probably come back again (for 3rd time), but I wouldn't come as frequently as I would if they fix the overpriced dishes or improve the quality of the food.
