If you go to a Chinese restaurant and it's almost totally full with Chinese customers, you can be pretty sure the food is good and authentic. So this place ticks all those boxes. Decor wise is a bit bland and dated, but the food makes up for it. We were seated quick and even though the place was very full service was quick and mostly efficient (we had a dish missed and it took some time to finally come). I think no matter what you order your always looking at other tables because the food is quite unique and different looking. And that's the minor issue... its hard to know what your ordering. Its a place you need to go to 2 or 3 times.
It was my first time ever! I went there before the MK Theatre which is very close by. Forgot to take pics but me and my partner had a lovely dinner.. we had beef with black pepper and honey sauce, fried brown rice with no onions, spring rolls, sweet and sour king prawns and a bottle of water. Food is delicious, very quick service and nice atmosphere. Stuff very kind! Highly recommended!!!
