"Food was disappointing. Chicken satay was bland and watery. Sweet and sour chicken was bland. The duck pancake starter was a let down was served on a sectioned plastic plate, duck wasn't shredded at the table and pancakes weren't in a basket so all went cold quickly. Insufficient cutlery as nothing provided to serve food/decant items onto plates. Ordered a mango juice and was served a Mogu juice drink with coconut jelly pieces totally different to what I ordered and therefore also overpriced. Coca Cola was served in cans rather than on draught and no lemon available. Generally disappointing, especially after seeing all the positive reviews. Place looks tired. Been to far better Chinese restaurants."

This is an exceptional restaurant in anyone's book! We went on a quiet Monday in early January for a 21st Birthday celebration. Eight of us chose a wonderful selection of different dishes to share. A true adventure for the taste buds. The food is so fresh, tasty and lovingly prepared. The atmosphere was wonderful, even with only a few other diners in. The staff truly gave of their all and made us so welcome. We can't wait to return! Thank you so much Gigi and team.

We were celebrating a birthday, and the staff graciously brought over a small cake along with gifts. Everyone gathered around to sing along to the Chinese birthday music playing over the sound system, which was hilariously awkward for the birthday guest, but we all had a great time! I used to frequent this restaurant when it was smaller and located in Uplands, and it's impressive how they've managed to transition to a spacious glass building while still preserving that enchanting ambiance.

Lovely food, staff knew all about vegan (owner is vegetarian I believe . Actually authentic Chinese food too, rather than the oily stuff you normally get. Once a month they do a vegan buffet on a Sunday so I'll look to bring the kids along so they can try some more diverse foods (since we rarely eat Chinese-style dishes . There is a vegan page on the menu but other items are dispersed through the menu too but not marked, but staff know what is/isn't vegan : Update: have since got take away during lockdown, also great and explained things over the phone when I phoned to confirm. Run by lovely people. Updated from previous review on 2020-12-01

"I have been wanting to visit here for ages but the stars have never aligned until Saturday. We were extremely lucky to get a walk in for the two of us. We were greeted by the owner and shown to a table. As we didn't have any drinks with us Peter suggested Tesco a few doors down and I was able to grab a bottle to enjoy with the meal. The service was wonderful and friendly and it felt like we had been going there for years, with just the right amount of care and advice. The food was exceptional from start to finish. We had the chicken satay and spring rolls to start and they were beautiful. The satay was amazing and was much darker in colour than any I have had before, but much better in flavour than any I have had before, I would definitely have these again. For main I had a chicken rendang and my wife ordered gule monkfish. The rendang was again perfect for my tastes. Spicy but flavourful with a generous portion that would satisfy the majority of eaters. I would have had seconds, even though I was stuffed because it was so good. I can't comment too much on the monkfish as I have a dislike of seafood, but my wife raved about it and said she's having the same again next time without question. So I think that sums it up. We finished with deserts of a rice pudding dish I think was called bubar, which was black rice and coconut, and the second dish we ordered was a Banana coconut pancake to which I forget the name. Again I couldn't find fault if I tried another 10 out of 10. At the end of the meal we met owner and chef Ami, who came to chat. It was lovely speaking to the owners and their passion for the food and customer service was clear. We cannot wait until our next visit"
