Best Sichuan food in Durham. One of the best in North East.

We had the braised pork noodle soup, spicy braised beef noodle soup, and the lamb chops. The lamb chops were really good and it came in a really grand presentation. The pork noodle soup was really nice, but the meat can be a little bit more tender. For the braised beef soup, it was nice but the broth was just more spicy and you can’t really taste the richness of it compared to the pork one. But overall, good food and fair prices. We got 10% discount for cash payment and it totaled up to £37.35 for all three dishes (incl the jasmine tea too!)

Excellent authentic food nothing anglicised. Like most Chinese restaurants you get 10% off if paid by cash.

One of the best authentic Chinese food in Durham&Newcastle. Very popular among Chinese students. Highly recommended!

The menu here is embarrassingly large. The food itself comes in large portions, and it's very reasonably priced. General atmosphere will be improved considerably when the bus station is finished. No fault of restaurant, but it's best to ask for a table towards the back.

A fantastic restaurant with a menu offering dishes you wont often find in a uk restaurant. My only complaint was that they gave my wife the wrong duck dish, otherwise it would have been a full 5 stars. All the food was delicious and the staff really polite.

This is an authentic Chinese restaurant.
The food was delicious, and the portions enormous.
The staff were so kind, too, providing extra napkins, sauces, and take out boxes.
It was also excellent value, as a family of five, we all ate extremely well for circa £100 including drinks…. And we have leftovers for tomorrow’s lunch, as well.

Really lovely food here. Lots of choice. Sweet and sour was gorgeous. They did forget one dish, so we had to chase. But apart from that no issues at all. Authentic Chinese, made freshly and came out piping hot. Would definitely go again.

The food is delicious and the service is fast! I recommend the noodles soup and plenty of rice. The waiting time is reasonable.

Fantastic Sichuan Restaurant. Popular amongst the Chinese students, don't expect traditional British Chinese food, instead enjoy great flavours, new ingredients and lots of spice.
