"When you arrive outside it’s not obvious you are arriving at a restaurant, it’s such a vast building. You step inside and there is a massive staircase! There is a lift! No reception at street level so you are a little unsure as a result of that there is a restaurant there!. But we ventured upstairs to see what was there and saw a big sign for the restaurant. Saw 2 sets of double doors. Went in, lots of diners, but nobody to actually greet us. Stood there about 30 seconds before we just walked in to the room more and THEN someone made contact. Probably need to work on their meet n greet procedures. Anyway. Great table overlooking the water with far reaching views to the city. I had requested a round table which was near the window and they had it exactly as I requested. Service was good, and our waitress was smiley. Went for set menu. We had someone in our party with a moderate nut allergy. There menu clearly asks you if you have allergies and to let them know. Which we did. She advised they not eat the aromatic duck as nuts are involved in the cooking but in our food selection that was the only item. The food was great. There were 6 of us but we ordered set menu for 5 people and it was enough food with very little left over. They should really improve the entrance with some signage and have a better reception desk as you walk in to the place but that’s my only real suggestion for improvement. Food is not radically amazing but it’s good Chinese, served hot, tasted good. Nobody voiced any issue with food, we had a great laugh too, felt relaxed and service was not overly intrusive. We had 3 bottles of wine, which is sensibly priced. Total bill including wine and starter platter as part of the set menu was £40 each including service charge, which we all thought was good value. Just needs more kerb appeal and I think it would improve the place a lot. But would go again for sure."

"Upon entering the empty restaurant (which should of been a sign), a lady dressed in what looked like her home lounge wear, said to me and my partner , “yeh?!”, first shock! We asked for a table for 2 . She says nothing and so we just followed her. My partner then asked where the toilets are , and the other lady put her finger up at him and said something along the lines of “one minute” in a rude tone. When he went upstairs to the toilet he had to walk over a plumber fixing a radiator at the top of the stairs !We then had to call over the first rude woman to order our food, she said nothing, she just stood at the table with the body language of a teenager have a strop! No thank you , no nothing fr her. She returns with our drinks and looks elsewhere whilst lazily casting them on to the table. My partner said thank you, and she ignored him. They had little heaters plugged in everywhere because it seemed their heating was not working . We were freezing . I turned one of the heaters to face us more, a few minutes later she stormed over huffing and puffing and turned it back away from us. The starters came and they were disgusting and my corn cakes were undercooked. Disgusting !!! By this point we weren’t going to stick around to be treated like scum anymore and to give ourselves food poisoning from the rubbish they were serving. My partner went up the the first rude lady, and said that we will not be continuing to eat there anymore , she said nothing and went to get the card reader, my partner paid and she still said nothing. They are more concerned for their takeaway orders than dine-in customers. (And from what I have now read in reviews …. Their takeaway service is ridiculous also) I have never experienced something quite like this . Absolutely APPALLED!!!!"
