A great establishment in Shoreditch, a place to get some authentic food that is served quick and delicious. Good for big and small tables. The service is welcoming and attentive. We ordered quite a bit but came to decent price.

Tasty authentic chinese food.

Lots of flavour, spice and pungency which isn’t every westerners cup of tea.

Service is what you’d expect at an authentic place, pretty no frills & efficient without much of a smile which is fine.

I specially loved their Mapo Tofu with white rice.A dish that I can’t miss every time I visited this place! Also recommend their 锅包肉😋. Have to say it is authentic northern Chinese dish and they nailed it. Always my go-to place when I’m around the area if I crave for some comfort food.

Extremely rude staff, horrible food taste, very unhygienic place, worst service ever!!!

I saw the reviews and went to this restaurant. 1. Ordered 1 hot and sour soup which had overpowering taste of soy sauce and tomato ketchup. I tried 1 spoon and left it as is because taste was unbearable.
2. Ordered Beef in chili oil and rice, dish was as if someone poured the entire salt box in it.
3. I saw the kitchen staff tasting the ingredient directly with bottle touching their mouth and then pouring in the large vessel for preparing the food.

I complained to the manager for the overpowering salt in my beef dish, he brought spoon and digged in the beef dish and told me it’s not salty. I said I find it very salty and then it’s impossible that he is not finding it salty.

Manager said in a very rude tone that even if I am not able to eat more than a spoon, I have to pay the full amount.

How can a restaurant manager really dig into a customer dish and say that customer is not right. Especially when customer complained as soon as the dish arrived.

It’s extreme case of horrible customer service. They have either bought the ratings or the actual chef left and they are sitting on those ratings with their horrible customer service and rude behavior.

Never ever ever go to this restaurant if you respect yourself, your money, taste buds and humanity in general.

Owner is probably not aware of how rude these guys are and the horrible service or they are all same gang not bothered by the customer.

Shame this place used to be quite popular and famous with its food but I've seen over the years how their rating has gone and I am not surprised.

Food: the meat was quite poor for all the items we've ordered

Service: pretty slow because they are short of staff

Atmosphere: I think food inspection officers should stop by

Here's the million dollar question: will I go there again?
Absolutely no and never.
