Ever since going to Hong Kong I have had a hankering for proper Chinese food. This isn't the food that you find at the Chinese stall in the food hall, but rather a restaurant owned and run by Chinese, and the worse their English, the more authentic the restaurant tends to be. Okay, it's not Hong Kong, but then again unless you are willing to put aside a week to travel there and back, these restaurants are probably the best that you are going to get. This certainly wasn't a bad restaurant. The staff were ever friendly, and it certainly seems popular, and they also have chop-sticks, which for me is an absolute must when it comes to eating Chinese food. The cool thing about these restaurants is that they have pictures of all the dishes, so you can just flick through the menu and point to the dish you want. However, be careful not to make the mistake that I made and point to the wrong one because you might end up with a meal that you don't particularly like. Oh, I better not forget, they also have pots of Chinese tea for $1.00 each, which is also pretty cool.

Ok so the Noodle Kingdom in Preston has a few noticeable differences from its city sister. Theres…read moreno fancy red and gold wallpaper and theres no suits. The clientele is mainly Preston locals and the destination diners. The menu is exactly the same and I am grateful for this. Over lunch and weeknights this place experiences the same peak hour rush as the city Noodle Kingdom but due to the suburban location of this restaurant theres a slightly more relaxed vibe. Its not unusual to see people waiting five deep in a queue for the freshly prepared dumplings and noodles. I've already detailed my fetish for their dumplings and the no 29 (beef/noodles) however you can add the no 94 (fried chicken/noodles) and beef skewers to the list. The beef skewers are a grilled/spiced cummin delight and great to chew on. Prices are cheap and the service is blunt, this place delivers consistently great food, however a word of warning, go easy on the chilli.

Note that everything in their display window are hand-rolls. (Not the bitty 'set of 6' style, just one big honker.) They have a ton of churn during the lunch hour, so they need to prepare all the fish / rolls starting at 9am. That's why there are several meters of sushi sitting there by 11am. But it all tastes good. There was one with tuna and basil that was *UNBELIEVABLY GOOD* and easily worth the cost... it really wasn't that expensive. Yes, this from a sushi to-go place. And it's fast + convenient to boot.

My sushi and sashimi were fine but by no means top draw. They'll never figure on my list of memorable Japanese style meals. The server here was snappy as well. Sharpish words and no pleases or thank you's. That's two curt ones in one day. I let it go again because I figure its been brought on by the server having unresolved issues with something or other that'll never be apprised of. Too much to unpack.

When he finally did come to the table, we felt like we were being rushed to place an order. I mean, with the place being half full and only one person serving, that was understandable. What wasn't understandable was waiting for 45 minutes for the food to be served. It would have been worth the wait if the food were exceptional but it wasn't. Chinese food in St. Albans cooked by Vietnamese is 10x better than the food here. They even had the nerve to say that the food took so long because it was a busy night. Hello? Half full is a busy night for you? I'd hate to go there if it's actually full. When you go to an Asian restaurant and there are no Asians eating there, go somewhere else.
