"We were there on a weekend afternoon sat by the big window (great weather by the way!), I'll be honest though the food was great in general, the fish oh-mai-god is mindblowingly amazing. Very flavourful, good texture real crispy, I don't think anything can ever top this. Attentive staff, decent selection on the menu, I'll be back next time to try other dishes for sure."

"Authentic Chinese food. It’s a less expensive Chinese restaurant compared with others in Chinatown. All staff here are very nice and helpful! Really suitable for people eating together."

"So welcoming, warm and beautiful food made with a lot of care! Incredible experience. Since the moment we came into the restaurant and everyone made their greetings, to the quality of the food. I highly recommend this place, it made us feel so especial in every aspect. Definitely will come back."

"Highly recommended due to the amazing combination of high tech and traditional settings. The food is as fabulous as it always and now the major spotlight which distinguishes it from the other normal chinese restaurants is that it has automated hotpot tables. This enables the family to gather and eat at ease. It is surprisingly so high tech that the automated table can serve all your dishes without your own manual turning around the table. And it has warm function for different parts of the table to maintain the temperature or even cook the dishes as well. It is definitely the first automated Chinese restaurant in city of London. And the surrounding environment is quite decent with easy approaches including northern line and jubilee."

"Boyfriend and I went on a Saturday evening because we wanted hot pot to warm up after a cold day. The décor is lovely; clean and modern but with traditional vibes, and the table/booth layout feels cosy and intimate. For hot pot buffet, you choose your base, and choose a variety of items to cook in it for a set price. It's not made clear whether you can order more if you finish your first lot, but you will be charged if you over-order and have leftover meat. We went for half mushroom and half Szechuan chilli hotpot base. Both were lovely and so warming. For items we had lotus root, black fungus, king prawn, fatty beef, squid, and pak choi, all which was high quality and tasty. The prawns were massive and you get a good amount. Service could have been a little bit better, but I really enjoyed my meal here and would come back."
