This is my favourite Chinese restaurant though it can be a little pricey.
The building used to be a fast food joint, and has been remodelled with wooden carved window panels, an amazing carved wall in the waiting area, and many other touches to make this feel oriental.
As soon as you sit at your table (on a comfortable chair covered in Chinese fabric) a member of staff rushes over to put a cover over your coat, jacket or jumper - if you hung it over the back of your chair.
The food is authentic Chinese, and absolutely delicious though the staff sometimes have a lot of trouble coping on busy nights such as Valentines when an ambitious 4 course meal was the only option unless you were a member of the large party celebrating a birthday. We were there unusually for 3 hours on Valentine's day but it was quite entertaining!
If you believe the prices on the menu a portion of vegetables costs £7 which is the same as a complete vegetarian meal listed just above the veg, I don't know if that is the price that is charged as it seems extortionate for what you get.
I love the steamed sea bass which comes out looking like a dragon, and I have also sampled chrysanthamum sea bass which is an amazing sight, fingers of fish protruding upwards coated in potato batter and the whole thing covered in a ruby coloured sauce - out of this world.
I didn't think much of the all you can eat buffet on Sundays which is a mixture of Chinese and English dishes and was slightly strange, but maybe we were late and there wasn't a lot left.
If you get there and order early, I think before 6:30, you get a free starter.
They also do a take away service. read more
