Lovely restaurant. Our meals were amazing. Hot, fresh and absolutely delicious. The waiters also attend to you really quickly. For the quality of food, the price is very reasonable. I recommend.

A very authentic Cantonese restaurant with dishes that are difficult to find elsewhere. You can find some of the best "dishes of the day" written on the blackboard. The dim sum was also authentic. If you want a true taste of Cantonese cuisine, this is the place to go. But don't expect the western style Chinese food though, this is probably not the right place for that.

Passed by a few times before deciding to give it a try. Encountered Chef Diao in person, and that's when I found out he's an authentic Hakka. There aren't many places in the UK where you can find delicious Hakka cuisine, but this one is truly worth recommending. The dim sum is freshly made by the dim sum master, and the dishes each have their own unique flavors and are reasonably priced. I really enjoyed the overall dining experience and will definitely come back.

The food is good. The service is medium. The waitress waited in front of the table for me to finish what I was eating so she could take the plates away?? This is extremely rude, pressuring a client to finish their food in a rush? I think it's already rude enough to start clearing up the table before everyone has finished (what if someone else wants to use their cutlery/crockery to finish what I'm eating? Or simply I don't want to be rushed and made feel like I'm making everyone wait). Although I've seen this is mostly cultural and not respected in most normal British restaurants. But waiting for the food to be eaten while standing there is just a different level. The food is decent but nothing really blew my mind. Waiters didn't really recommend us anything. They also didn't bring us the full dimsum menu at first. I am in no rush of going back but I wouldn't say no.

first visit (dinner/main menu) second visit (dimsum) we played it safe by primarily ordering the classics bc any dim sum spot has gotta get those right! on the whole, everything was good and met expectations but not necessarily wow. i would say the cripsy chow mein was particularly tasty tho bc it was a very generous portion and so flavourful. their xlb and cheung fun were too thick for my liking (still yet to find a good xlb in mcr) and their ham sui gok was basically empty so i probably won’t order those next time. their main menu dishes are their standouts but overall a hidden gem and def deserve more recognition!

Great Chinese restaurant! I stopped in for a late dinner while working in Manchester. I had the special chow mein, which was huge, the meat was good quality and the noodles were cooked perfectly. I also had some vegetable steamed dumplings which were delightful. The staff were attentive and the service was quick. It seemed a little expensive at first, but the portion size absolutely made up for that.

I got myself the chicken skewers and pork chow mein. They were both really good portions, nicely presented and tasted very nice. The restaurant itself was nice and quiet and the staff were attentive and ready to serve

A superb find & one to be revisited. Excellent service & food was great. We only ordered from the dim sum menu but had a great selection.

Excellent Chinese food. Yummy and affordable. You may find typical cuisines in Chinese restaurants here. We have dinner here. The beef was especially good.
