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.

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.

When I first walked in to this restaurant, I feel like I was in China.. some rural area.. It is a very old traditional Chinese decoration restaurant . Food is average, not really amazing, generous big portion tho but it is very oily too. Service is okay, if you visit here, please don't expect you will welcome with smiling 😔 face . the restaurant is quite huge, sometime you need to raise hand to get attention or walk to the counter.

Went for Dinner, 6 x tiny spring rolls were £13, no vermicelli options unless in a pork soup. Shame as gluten free people would be able to have some sort of noodles, not just rice dishes. Quite prompt service, pleasant atmosphere, slightly near an housing estate block so not justified charging top dollar for location purposes and food we chose was not mind blowing. Lots of Chinese customers so I guess you have to know what to order to get top notch flavours.
