Yum! the food was delicious and the service was lovely! Very nice decoration and there was a very attractive, bold colourful feel to the place. Although my duck was a bit stringy, other than that it was awesome!

The food was really tasty, we had it to take out. My only complaints were that the service wasn't the friendliest and the Sweet and Sour Chicken Balls that I had were a bit stringy and for the price they were quite small. The crispy seaweed was delicious though as was the fried rice. The atmosphere of the restaurant looked pleasant so we may in future come back to dine in.

The food here is delicious. We went on a buffet night and it was very reasonable for a substantial meal of starters, crispy duck pancakes and a mixture of main courses. Very authentic feel to the place
