Very good food, it's very filling though, I ended up taking half of my food home to have the next day but it was solid food

Sadly the quality and taste was no so good as it used to be. We had takeaway and ordered things we have previously had in the restaurant, but they were not the same. Maybe they have a different chef now. Yes we gave them a second chance, about two or three weeks apart, but disappointing.

Had a takeaway on Wednesday night, a little longer wait than expected but the food was worth waiting for. Crispy Beef in BBQ sauce was an absolute winner. Well worth a visit if in the area.

If I could give this restaurant 100 stars I would. It was a meal I will never forget. Everything was fresh, freshly cooked and hot, and delicious in the extreme. The flavours and textures of every aspect of the meal were out of this world. And seeing what everyone else was eating as I walked in for the first time, my eyes were popping out of my head and I hope I wasn't drooling. The ambience was good with background music just audible and not blaring out, which I can't stand. Tables were well laid out. Everything clean. The service was unbelievably quick and efficient. Everyone was pleasant and

Have you ever been so full you thought you might explode, but still felt compelled to keep eating?
Faced with basically gorging ourselves silly or leaving any of that gorgeous food, um, 'no brainer', time to loosen the belt. Our mistake was each ordering a starter and the 'two dishes and rice' option. This proved to be a lot of food. A hell of a lot of awesome food. Crispy chilli beef, wow. Chicken chow mein, perfect. Kung po chicken, lush. Chicken in black bean, just fabulous. My one gripe is the menu, I would have liked more description, a list of sauces and meat options just doesn't tell you
