Delicious food. Plenty to chose from. There's vegan, vegetarian and meat options. There's also a…read morenice variety of fresh salad (including a gorgeous prawn salad with prawns, lettuce and Marie Rose sauce), fresh fruit and dressings for the health conscious. There are also options for those who aren't too fond of Asian cuisine but have tagged along with others who are! There's pizza, chips, rice, chicken nuggets, cooked veggies, apple pie, sponge/cheese cakes, ice cream etc...the list is quite long! The soups are immense as a starter. Today, Chinese pork soup and also chicken and sweet corn soup was available on the menu. I tried both! Hmmm very tasty. I mixed Sriracha sauce into the pork soup to give it some extra kick. There's plenty of condiments on offer. Including sriracha sauce, dot sauce, sweet chilli, mayo and ketchup. There's also hot sauces to pour onto your rice or chicken balls (or whatever you like). There's Chinese gravy, sweet and sour sauce, curry sauce and (I think it was) Cantonese sauce. I filled some of the tiny soup bowls up with the sauces I liked and took them to our table to dip our food into or pour it over our dishes. The staff are very polite and very accommodating but not over-baring. You aren't made to feel rushed in any way. Nor do they watch you whilst you plate your meal up!!! Would definitely recommend. It wasn't too busy today (it was a Wednesday afternoon), so even though there was five or six tables in, the atmosphere wasn't buzzing. There are much nicer places to visit nearby if you're after a vibrate buzz and somewhere more upmarket. Having said that, in my opinion, the prices and the delicious food are just too good to miss! It's cheap and cheerful. Thank you to the staff, for a Lovely visit with my Mum and for making us so welcome.

I love the food, but I am disappointed that they only have seafood on offer for the evening pricing bracket. The problem is that the staff have poor english and I find myself asking them to repeat themselves, which makes me feel rude if I ask more than once. Also if I am wanting to purchase alcohol, they need to take my ID to a manager (out the back) to check that it is okay. I do not feel comfortable with someone taking my driving license.

Make sure you ask for the more comprehensive Chinese Menu, that's where the magic is ;-)

Not a bad thing at all and the food they gave me was tasty enough Chinese tea is plentifull, muchly welcomed as the lonely contractor in another city. It has that city cafe feel that calling it dingy would be unfair as it's clean and well looked after if not the most stylish cafe ever. A chinese restaurant that serves food to the chinese has to be a good placed to eat with plenty of traditional dishes including chicken feet etc. No alcohol is served here but there are other places for that and I would be more than happy coming here for food on a regular occurance. Careful tho as it's cash only, so don't get caught out like I almost did and the pricing was great as well. Highly recommended
