"Wow. Special friend rice “Yong Chow” was delicious and perfect balance of flavours. Vasta our waiter was great and quick to serve us with drinks. He recommended a dish called braised pork with soy sauce. This dish was my favourite. They have almost 200 dishes on the menu, would love to try them all. We will be back"

"Do not go here for dim sum. Dim sum was absolutely rubbish...I can't describe it any more than that. Also had Singapore noodles which were all OK. I won't go here again and can't recommend it for anyone else. Felt sorry for the French visitors too who had to experience it."

"As a Chinese, this restaurant is an insult & serves a nightmare. EVERY dim sum was microwaved and not handmade, even the xiaolongbao, in which anyone can purchase them from their nearest supermarket and heat it up for a quarter of the price. Simply refer to the photos and you'll see how pale and lifeless the dim sum are. The duck meat was DRY and tasteless (top right of the image), eating it was a workout for the jaws. If you're a tourist and is keen on some proper Chinese food, please do not set this restaurant as the standard. The restaurant also have a large poster providing 88% off for students. Do note that it is only 12% off and you've to pay the remaining 88%, in which the staffs will NOT clarify to you properly when asked. Read the reviews and you'll realise mostly are about their shady way of doing business. Definitely will not patronize again due to taste and pricing."

"Average hot pot experience. £25.80 is good value compared to some in the area charging £50. Large portions but a lot of the stuff is frozen. Restaurant has lift. Note when you get here you must go the basement for hot pot and normal restaurant is on the main level. Drinks reasonably priced. Would consider going again. 2 hour limit on hot pot weekdays and 1 hour 45 minutes weekends. Does accept card payments as majority cash only around here."

"Wow, food was absolutely lovely. Ordered set menu E, food came out fast and hot. Service was Brilliant, all the staff were friendly and polite."
