The food here is great and the atmosphere is modern and clean. Prices are on the high side, and whilst the large presentation dishes look nice, some tables just aren’t big enough to cope with them. Eating dishes are tiny and food inevitably drops on to the table. Service is sadly hit and miss, with little interaction from some of the team. Overall, a good place to visit, they just need to be more upbeat and have some fun with their guests.

Food and staff amazing. Would have been one smile bigger if not for a queue. Made me feel a bit like a teenager waiting to get into a nightclub! One dish forgotten but swiftly rectified. I think for couples a week day would be better as it's such a big place it was very loud. For a party perfect.

As an ex Hong Konger one always goes to a restaurant in England that professes to sell Chinese food with trepidation. Well I can tell you the food here is brilliant. We thoroughly enjoyed our selection of dim sum. We even had wagyu beef Cheung fun, something I’ve not had in Hk! The pecking duck (1/2 portion) was very good, though the skin could have been a tad crispier. Service was efficient and professional. Very happy.

The food was great and the service was efficient, atmosphere was good if a little loud as the decor lacks any soy furnishing to absorb the noise. Only real downside was getting the waiting staffs attention to pay the bill, had to go to the counter in the end after 10 mins of trying to wave someone over.

Really enjoyed the food. Would have preferred the door to outside be closed from the outset to prevent inbound smoke but this was dealt with quickly when asked. Service a wee bit slower than previous visit but not an issue.

We had dishes that we've never tried before on the meal for two, the food was excellent and so tasty. I asked a few questions regarding the dishes and was given good, honest answers. The food was of a high quality which was reflected in the price, some may find it expensive but I can honestly say it was worth it. I'm glad we booked a table as the tables were filling up quite fast.

The restaurant had a a bit of a loud canteen feel to it. Very slow service, we waited half an hour for our drinks, asked 3 times for some prawn crackers which ended up coming after the starters arrived. The prawn crackers weren’t on the menu and they cost £7! We did complain at the end so they removed them from the bill and took off the service charge. We were disappointed as have been looking forward to trying this restaurant out but sadly we won’t be returning.

Menu not as previously experienced, and we were sat on a table which was not the best position and felt like we were in the kids corner, but were a group of 5 adults. It was very difficult to hear each other. I did ask for a different table but was told it was the only option. The food was okay but not exceptional like the last time we went.

It's a good looking restaurant and friendly staff. The food was good but very expensive for what it is - fairly standard Chinese dishes. £91 for 2 people with a single drink each. Ouch. Service is added to the bill without warning. Hate that.
