I had the Crispy Seabass Thai dish - Pla Pad Prig Thai Orn. It was excellent. The skin was nice and crispy from start to finish. It had a nice heat to it, almost exclusively from the green peppercorns. I would definitely go back again. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

There are many Chinese restaurants in Reading, but I think I fell on my feet with this one…read more The restaurant is large with Chinese and Thai dishes off one menu. There is a Buffet Menu option, which is the option I went for: this allows you to pick from a sub-set of the menu and eat as many courses as you like for a fixed price. As long as you keep clearing your plate, they keep sending more food. The price varies depending on the day of the week, it was £12.90 on Wednesday when I visited, a little dearer at the weekend. I stuck with primarily Chinese dishes: a mixed starter (including two types of rib, chop suey rolls, chicken satay); crispy duck with pancakes; crispy chilli beef and chicken with noodles. A couple of glasses of a reasonably cheap (£4) Merlot washed it down nicely. I'm sure there are probably better Chinese restaurants in the area, but the food was tasty, generally well prepared and the staff friendly and helpfull. My only complaint is that the mixed starter was a little too cool. Great value for money and recommended.

I can't say I hated this restaurant, but it didn't really have anything decent that encourages me…read moreto visit again. We went last winter, yet they stuck the air con on high that we kept our coats on all the way through the meal. Service was slow and some of our food was warm at best. It's a shame, as it looks like a lovely upmarket chinese on the outside. Perhaps if my expectations hadn't been so high, I wouldn't have been quite so disappointed.

During the weekdays, there is special lunch menu with limited number of choices, which is an opportunity to try some of the best Asian dishes at better prices. During the lunch time the place is fairly empty, and the service is flawless. However, in the evenings, especially on Friday/Saturday it's a completely different story. We came there with a big group of people and had a pre-booked table. We had to wait for 20min if not more, as despite the people who were there before us were taking pictures etc, while we had to stand in the bar area, which wasn't comfortable neither for us, nor for people who were sat there, as we were towering onto them.

If you stick to the buffet, it's only £5.80, but they also have an ayce made-to-order sushi for £13.60. The buffet has a few hits and a few misses. I'd recommend avoiding anything in the bright red and sickly-sweet sauce. Other options include a stir-fry noodles, pad thai with chicken, chicken in black bean sauce, sesame toasts, spring rolls and several different vegetable plates. All of those were quite good. Two small plates of sushi were rather bland. As is the usual case with UK restaurants, drinks are not refillable. It's a shame to pay £1.20 for a can of Diet Coke, even if they do serve it in a glass with ice and a slice of lemon. A decent meal, well worth the cost. I would return.

Very large dining areas and if you step up to the bar area, you can see into the very clean and well kept kitchen. Menus on the glass tables with rather odd 'coffee-themed' placemats. Service was extremely fast and my Mixed Seafood Noodles and Vegetarian Spring Rolls were both delivered to my table about 4 minutes after ordering. The noodles were good, but they needed a bit of the chilli paste to bring out the flavor. The spring rolls were very hot and crispy, as they should be. The usual beers are available - Tiger, Tsingtao - plus a small selection of spirits. Plus canned sodas. This restaurant has been here for decades, as I learned when I engaged the very nice lady in chat. She said 37 years. Amazing. I read elsewhere that they had some fire damage in 2008, but you can't tell. The place looks great.
