"I had eaten here a few times before and the food was good, however last time, I had to chase our orders and the manager came over and started shouting at me and insisted I told him whether he should sack his chef. Really unprofessional. However, last night, I thought we would go back. We arrived and were shown to a table. We ordered drinks and the same manager came over and said Im not sure when you will get your food! We asked what he meant. He said (in a very obnoxious and confrontational tone) We are very busy, what do you want me to do? Go and kick the chef? He started shouting and I simply asked if he could give me a rough idea of how long food would be. He got more angry and was shouting to the point where other diners were looking over. I tried to reason with him and said that we would wait but if he could ask the chef just to give us an idea, that would be great. His tone got even louder and he snatched our menus back from us. He said You better leave and then started on me, bringing up how I complained last time which was over 6 months ago. We were embarrased, astounded and felt so awkward. He ushered us out of the restaurant with everybody watching. We then went to Paprika Club and explained we were in a huge rush. Whilst I am a regular there, the restaurant was packed and they ensured we had a wonderful meal within 20 minutes. Been, you are an awful place and your manager is a joke. We will never return and I would urge others to steer WELL CLEAR!"

"book here for a party of 6 for the Chinese silvesternacht after they do not make the booking for another restaurant due to this busy night. we ordered the peking duck and all the dishes for a happy and wealthy years like fish, noodles and dumplings. the dimming cum dishes came first char sui bungalow and xiao long bao were standard and tasted quite well. there were no spoons tho for the xiao long bao that made it a little harder less traditional. our dishes came next to the damped sea bass was delicious, the bones were taken out (except the side fins that made it easy to eat (but less fun, as I like to flipping the fish when a side is done) the Ho fun (rice nudel with rührei had a bit of everything in it huh, pork, garnel, tinted fish. we also have the plate of chinese broccoli (gai lan with garlic) (they must order a vege in a Chinese restaurant and this has proven to be one of my favorite food of the night. very fragrant and crisp. we also ordered Mongolian king prawn, that was a little disappointing, and actually felt like the sweet sour king prawn court (or perhaps the order mixed. . I also felt really like peking disappointing for old, so was happy to finally get some. I was a bit confused about the difference between peking duck and crispy aromatic duck both on their menu when I checked it at picking up the restaurant. it has been shown that it is a British ding (the population in Britain and the last escape is finished with a deep step, that is the cripple, and apparently it is a bit dry. we have two steam basket of pancakes for our peking duck not sure whether it is because we have asked enough pancake haha. I'm more used to having 2 courses when I pee, but they're not doing this here. we ordered a whole and we also got the usual plum sauce and gurken garlic shoot to go with it. Although we were given only 2 hours of eating time, we were eating pretty fast and finished after only 1.5 hours. they do not desserts, but gave us a lazy lucky cookie that was entertaining as we were in bed after reading each of our gap out loud! everything in all was a pretty good meal and service good (for a Chinese restaurant. we sat in the back room of the restaurant and the atmosphere was good, beautiful bright white walls and table clothes, and maybe not as crowded as the front. but it has a bit loud, because it is all great tables in the back room. some portions of eating felt not very, but overall we went full and happy for only £15 per person. the online booking was simple and (especially given the busy night they called me on the day to confirm our booking."
