“ Lovely food, friendly staff, pleasant surroundings. Only complaint was the plate wasn't heated and my food went really cold very quickly. Heat your plates and it would have been perfect ”
“ Lovely meal. Roasting kung po chicken was delicious, as was the prawn toast, fried rice and salt pepper chips (even if a little too much cinnamon) however the chicken satay starter was disappointing. I wouldn’t really call it satay as it doesn’t look or really taste peanutty. All came roasting hot so overall very impressed. ”
