Ordered from here many times. Food has always been of great quality and delicious. Service time isn't bad but it's always been quiet when we visited. Cash only which is sometimes inconvenient, but you can book online and one time i bank transferred to them.

Ordered Singapore Fried Rice, spring rolls and those firecracker chicken wings. I wanted extra spicy and yes it was very spicy (that’s an option you can choose). Lovely food, especially the rice, delicious.

update: have tried their noodles a few times now (Build Your Own Noodles) and i’m always impressed! always super tasty abd very filling. would recommend their Cantonese sauce for the noodles!
actually so pleasantly surprised by the food, given the review ratings here. the egg fried rice was good, more on the very soy type of fried rice than the less soy, lighter egg fried rice. the lamb ribs were nice too, slightly tart sauce, meaty fatty ribs. i think the food portion here is really good!

Surprised at the low rating. This is really good halal East Asian food. Admittedly I have mainly stuck to the create your own box meals (my favourite is the Malaysian Satay) but I’ve been having this for quite some years and it’s never let me down. Fast service and often quick delivery. Sometimes a bit too much oil. Highly recommend the create your own meals

Food taste amazing, staff was very nice too. We ordered 4 mains, 3 sides, 2 appetizers and we only payed £40, they gave us free prawn crackers and wanted to give us free drinks as well. We're very happy, will come back!

Came here last night with some friends for a meal, staff were lovely and provided us with a great dining experiance. Our waitress was very helpful and attentive and most inportanly the food was delicious with good sized portions and very good pricing. Starters were cooked to perfection and mains were very good big sized portions so anything that was left over the staff packed for us to take home. Had a great evening and i will be going back again , if your looking for great chinese food this is your place . Thanks to the staff for a wonderful evening x

Great place for Halal Chinese food. Ordered a takeaway. Szechuan Hot and Sour Soup was delicious. Service was good. Food was a bit pricey but the portions were good size. The garlic chilli chicken seemed a bit bland but the taste was good. Waiting time wasn't bad as it wasn't too busy. Will recommend to try it out and don't forget to try the hot sour soup.
