"After visiting this restaurant for approx 10 years, we visited recently for a family birthday and to say we are disappointed is a huge understatement and it will be our last visit. We ordered a variety of dim sum and noddles to share which worked out at £45 a head (incl drinks). Whilst quite pricey, We don 't mind paying that much if the food is nice but most of it was bad quality. The pork shumai was disgusting and honestly inedible, the chicken feat in black bean sauce came out red in colour like it had been curried, furthermore the seafood had the taste of ammonia. The Vietnamese spring rolls had changed since our last visit, and whilst they were fine, they were not as tasty as before. We heard the dimsum chef had recently not been working and dim sum was off the menu for a period of time and we can only assume that the chef must have left. Also we only arrived at 1pm (opens at 12) yet one third of the dishes were sold out and marked off the dim sum menu. One other complaint is that after 10 years of regularly visiting this restaurant, no current staff have ever made an effort to ask our name or even acknowledge we have been before which we never minded before when the food was tasty. We are young and non-chinese in terms of ethnicity and we saw the restaurant staff greet other customers with a lot more acknowledgement and we even saw they knew the table next to us regular order which is ironic since we are also regulars. Seemed like they never made any effort to greet us. Will avoid from here on out."

"good eating at a reasonable price. originally it was here because of the proximity of victoria bus station, but it turned out that more than one will do the restaurant. eating was very good, authentic tasting and served in a reasonable time. the portions were of a reasonable size, in contrast to some of the larger chain Thai foods, which seem to think that we all need to be on a diet. a mixed starter, followed by a head with rice, had sat me (and I like in the usually quite large portion.) the service is polite and respectful, and a mere look into the general direction of a waitress brings them with a smile asking what they want. the decor is clean and well furnished, with a little artworks here and there, and a candle and flowers on every table. not to stun and not too easy. the price is not much more than a good take (of which they speak a take-off service that I could just go there).) a meal for 2 consisting of 2 starters, 2 main thing with rice, and a drink or two everyone will return it between £40-50 depending on their meat preference. if I had to think of negative, it would be just the strange funky elevator music that plays a bit too loud in the background. everything would have been better, even complete quiet, but I will forgive them, because it was certainly not bad enough to ruin the evening. all in all, if they happen to be in the opposite and fantasies a bit thai, they will be more than happy with this place."
