I see the rewiews are going two extremes, either very good or very bad. I would say this Chinese restaurant is NOT a common restaurant British people think of. Most Chinese restaurant here are either Cantonese or spicy Sichuan food, with rice or fried noodles. But this restaurant 's chef is from north china and the flavour is different. I know this because I am from the same province! If you ask them to make fried rice/noodles or ducks, it's gonna to be a disaster because in my home province we don't eat them. It's until I came to UK i discovered some new Chinese dishes. Try to order something different and it might surprise you 😜. Our home province (Shandong province) dish is said to be the mother of all Chinese dishes. We are good at doing braised chicken or lou mei, or some seafood like sea cucumber. I would say their rice is really horrible, and it's average compared with my hometown restaurants. But it's very rare I can eat Chinese dishes like this in UK.

Possibly the best Chinese in the area. It's unfortunate that they have had to compromise their repices to account for the locals. Ask for "Beijing spice, hundred percent", you'll get proper food. This place does really nice food, but they play it down for the foreigners (us Brits). Ask them for the real deal... It's really tasty :)

foreign friends love the dish, but I am only satisfied with the fish in hot chili oil. The fish is in a big portion even though fish is only on the top, the bean sprout under it is also very delicious. The noodle in the chicken sticks together. The yolk tofu tastes strange, I had thought it was very soft,tender with thick soup. The sweet and chili shredded pork is better than Wong, but not as good as I made...the beef is just the average level.
