We had an amazing dining experience here!
The food was incredibly authentic and reminded us of real home-style Chinese cooking.
Every dish was full of flavour and cooked perfectly.
The variety on the table was impressive—from fresh seafood to classic stir-fried dishes and savory braised meats. The lamb spine in a pot was beautifully cooked.
The dumplings and vegetables were also excellent, and everything tasted balanced and not overly greasy.
You can really tell the chefs know traditional Chinese flavors. The ingredients tasted fresh and the portions were generous, which made it perfect for sharing with family and friends.
If you’re looking for authentic Chinese cuisine, this place is definitely worth visiting. Highly recommended, and we will absolutely come back again!
Been a long time customer at this place and honestly never disappointed me. The food won’t blow you away but definitely hits the spot. It’s a northeastern Chinese restaurant so personally I would say it’s not exactly my flavor profile. But nonetheless, amazing stuff over here.
I no longer recommend this restaurant. I used to return for the tasty food and reasonable portions, and I accepted that service was minimal. Unfortunately, things have gone downhill. The service remains cold, but now the food is overpriced and the portions have noticeably shrunk. Rice is £3 per person, and even refills are no longer free. We ordered the spicy boiled beef, which cost £19.30. The same dish at a Sichuan restaurant near Moorgate is £15.80 (even with a 12.5% service charge, it’s still better value). Although there’s no service charge here, the food prices feel inflated to compensate. Vegetable dishes now come with half a plate. Overall, the quality just isn’t there anymore to compensate the bad service.
This place still pulls in a big crowd of Chinese students and locals, and portions remain huge. The spicy dishes can still deliver flavour when they’re on form, but my latest visit (Sunday, first customers of the day) was a real disappointment.The food: Beef noodles and special Lo Mein were over-boiled and mushy, broths watery and oddly bland.
Lamb skewers (£2 each) and chicken wing (£2) were under-seasoned and forgettable.
It tasted nothing like previous visits either the chef has changed or standards have slipped badly.
The service:
The infamous “angry waitress” is unfortunately still there. My friend politely asked for two glasses of water and was met with a glare and an audible huff. Even her own colleagues seemed to keep their distance. The attitude was genuinely unpleasant and set a sour tone from the start. Large portions mean nothing when flavour and quality are missing. With far better options just a 5-minute walk away (Yeye’s, for one), there’s no reason to put up with sub-par cooking and hostile service.
Quite authentic Sichuan and Dongbei (north-eastern) Chinese foods. I’ve been here four or five times already.
My only complaint was that sometimes we had to wait to be seated quite long and unattended. But I think it’s fine unless you’re super sensitive to this.
