Located inside an old building which has got lots of charm! Clean place! The gentleman who served was very pleasant. The joy and sour soup tasted more sweet and sour. The vegetable lettuce wrap was tasty. Egg fried rice was just fine. The chilli garlic dish of main was just fine as the sauce tasted sweet chilli for me. Vegetable chowmein was just ok ; less vegetables. All in all a charming place with ok food. But extremely great value for money and a clean place.

This place can offer authentic Chinese food, as well as Chinese food for foreigners, if you know what I mean. I asked the attendant what was good that day. She entered the kitchen and came out with a few dishes. And they were very good.

The set meal was great value and very good. We sat downstairs and it was a bit cold there, could not go upstairs due to companion's mobility issues.

We ended up delayed with BA and didn't get to Penrith till 9pm, this restaurant was really accommodating we had tried a couple of other places that said there kitchens were closed. I'm gluten and diary free as well and they could accommodate my allergies would definitely recommend this place!

We had a takeaway. Waited less than 10 minutes. It was very hot and tasty. Can't fault it and very reasonably priced too.

Good authentic Chinese food and very tasty. Served by friendly students earning a little cash to help with their education. Well worth a visit, prices are perfectly acceptable.

Unfortunately, I cannot knock the food, only highly recommend it to all in terms of taste and quantity, we have enough for two days. I had the Chicken Curry with Egg Fried Rice, finally a place that makes chicken curry that actually has a curry taste (last 2 places, a sauce with heat added, but no curry taste). NOW TO THE BAD PART: We ordered Take Out, and I am used to giving numbers which eradicates mistakes, but the local girl (not oriental) was either having a bad night, or comes with attitude. When trying to give my order it was met with 'well that's no good to me' (with attitude), £57.90 order nearly walked out the door if not for a oriental member of staff intervening, especially at the point of being unable to use a calculator to work out the cost of my order, the oriental woman took the calculator off her and in less than 10 seconds, was spot on with order total, the girl had created the atmosphere with her attitude, which was clearly there also with the oriental woman towards her with the calculator issue, (best thing for the business, get rid of the girl). Food is 5 Star (taste) Service 4 Star (saved by oriental member of staff) Atmosphere 1 Star (due to attitude of local girl) Highly recommend food to all, be aware main dishes come in larger foil containers than rice dishes.

Food is one of the best in Penrith, but the service is terrible, left standing for a very long time after the stated 30mins your given to collect food. Unpleasant and manner-less staff
