"This wee place is a gem of a find when we were travelling home from a road trip on the east coast. After searching on trip advisor we thought we would give it try having not eat Chinese food for a while. Boy are we glad we did! Been here a few time now in the past year and are happy to drive up from Kilmarnock to do so. Admittedly it isn 't much to look at and is tired in terms of decor with worn seats and chipped crockery, staff aren 't the most chatty and sometimes you feel they don 't have time to see to your needs especially if your sat up on the mezzanine, that being said the food does all of its talking. We have the same every time and share a couple of dishes. And were supposed to meet another two but they had to cancel. Beef Curry were the meat is so tender it just melts in the mouth with just enough spice that builds with every mouthful. We usually have the Crispy Shredded Beef in Peking sauce but tried the Crispy Shredded Chicken in Peking sauce this time. For me it was DELISH and the Peking sauce is to die for, sweet and sticky, the Wife still prefers the Beef. We always have it with egg fried rice and prawn crackers which I find can be hit or miss in many places, with some being quite greasy, these are always just right. We also got a take away or the other couple since they couldn 't make it they had Dry Ribs starter which I 'm told were excellent and Chicken Noodle soup and I Quote "Best Chicken Noodle so every tasted. Crispy Shredded Beef in Peking Sauce which they both loved also. They are n just eat so take away is easily order. We only had a soft drink with ours and it all came in at less than 50quid which I feel is reasonable. Finally, this seems to be were all the Asian Kids go which I say speaks volumes for the quality of the food. I 've never been to any other Chinese Restaurant were its full of Asians just generally Caucasian families. It 's is very small so I 'd advise booking on peak nights/times to avoid disappointment. Will return again and again. thank you"

"I have been wanting to visit here for ages but the stars have never aligned until Saturday. We were extremely lucky to get a walk in for the two of us. We were greeted by the owner and shown to a table. As we didn't have any drinks with us Peter suggested Tesco a few doors down and I was able to grab a bottle to enjoy with the meal. The service was wonderful and friendly and it felt like we had been going there for years, with just the right amount of care and advice. The food was exceptional from start to finish. We had the chicken satay and spring rolls to start and they were beautiful. The satay was amazing and was much darker in colour than any I have had before, but much better in flavour than any I have had before, I would definitely have these again. For main I had a chicken rendang and my wife ordered gule monkfish. The rendang was again perfect for my tastes. Spicy but flavourful with a generous portion that would satisfy the majority of eaters. I would have had seconds, even though I was stuffed because it was so good. I can't comment too much on the monkfish as I have a dislike of seafood, but my wife raved about it and said she's having the same again next time without question. So I think that sums it up. We finished with deserts of a rice pudding dish I think was called bubar, which was black rice and coconut, and the second dish we ordered was a Banana coconut pancake to which I forget the name. Again I couldn't find fault if I tried another 10 out of 10. At the end of the meal we met owner and chef Ami, who came to chat. It was lovely speaking to the owners and their passion for the food and customer service was clear. We cannot wait until our next visit"
