This place has a queue out of the door at peak times and with good reason.
Helpful and friendly staff, great food, generous portions.
I order a duck rice and it was so filling I ended up taking half of it home in takeaway containers that they provided freely.
Food was basic in some ways but delicious.
I probably wouldn't recommend as a date restaurant if you're looking to impress someone with the restaurant. But further down the line this will be your joint favourite
If you are a clean freak you might want to reconsider visiting this place, but otherwise they offer the best Szechuan and Chinese food in the area.
Even if you stuff yourself with everything you can manage, you still won't walk out with your pockets empty. On the contrary- a huge very delicious meal will cost you as much as a single dish at any other restaurant.
The decor might have been nice when the place opened, but right now it really needs a retouch, but still it doesn't affect the service. All the staff are very kind and welcoming. They are always ready to explain how a certain dish is prepared to the newcomers.
Overall if you like delicious Chinese food and don't want to spend too much money this is the place to eat.
Was impressed with its vast menu of really authentic Chinese dishes. Not your bog standard sweet&sour. Pigs ears, duck tongue are just some of the more exotic dishes. Had the sizzling beef, spare ribs, duck noodles and it was all really good.
Place is a bit run down, toilets not the best. It could do with a face-lift.
But all in all I recommend it.
Go for the food and just find the slightly impolite service funny. the inside is not that nice, but MY GOD is the food INCREDIBLE. In london you get used to amazing food, but this raises the bar A LOT. eat here, then go somewhere else for atmosphere. or just lie down as you will have eaten your body weight in all kinds of everything.
Great Chinese Restaurant !
Better to come early for dinner as later the oil is not so fresh .
The service is very fast ,but I wouldn`t say friendly - very chinese...I think it`s part of the Atmosphere :)
Food is great , lots of Veggie options as well , I especially like the black fungus with pork and the spicy lamb.
After having studied in Beijing and travelling China before moving to London, I couldnt get enough of the local cuisine. I was so happy to find this little hole in the wall serving authentic Northern and Sichuan style food. If you love spicy Chinese food, try the Chinese kebabs and extremely spicy kung pao chicken. Definitely reminds me of the hutongs in Beijing.
Service is ok but you must avoid overcrowded peak times unless you want to wait at the door or outside for, perhaps, a long time due to its popularity.
Pig ear and chilli dishes are great. Barbaques are also a great choice.
To drink get some aloe-vera drink with bits.
Straight out of north China! The food is authentic and the service is great. We ate in and had green beans, tudou si, tofu and a cold dish. 好吃!
Amazing takeaway.. best spicy sweet and sour pork, terrific dumplings.. and it's the best Chinese in east London whether eating in or taking away.
Beef in chili oil is fantastic.
Numbing effect from the Szechuan peppercorns combined with Lucifer's fire from the chilies.
Put toilet roll in fridge before leaving house.
