"We ordered takeout and after reading the reviews, we were expecting something good. However, we had to wait an extra 25 minutes for delivery, although we were kept informed about the delay. When the food finally arrived, the chicken satay was decent, but the pancake rolls were soggy and tasteless. The curry was not great either. The Singapore noodles were strange and the lemon chicken, which I usually enjoy, was wet and inedible. Overall, we were not impressed with the food and would not order from this place again. We also would not recommend it to others. We hope this was just a bad day for the restaurant and that we won't have a similar experience in the future."

I visited a small café for lunch and had a delightful experience with delicious food and courteous service. The menu also includes Chinese cuisine for dinner, so I decided to order a takeaway a few days later. The delivery was quick and the food was fresh, making it a great experience overall. I highly recommend this place.

The mixed hors d’oeuvres were divine, as were the main dishes that followed (chicken in black bean sauce, crispy chilli beef egg fried rice). The friendly staff have a very considerate attitude and the food is cooked with the same care consideration. You must eat here if you find yourself in the area. You won’t be disappointed! View menu

I must admit hen I walked in it was empty, and not set up as a restaurant.. was very worried, but we stayed as it was my birthday and the reviews we very good in the quality of food.. How surprised we was.. AMAZING food.. so tasty.. a bit pricey for 4. But was happy to pay with quality of the food being so tasty.. Maybe as so late in the year the restaurant concentrates on take away rather then eating in.. I’m glad we stayed to eat..

If I could give this no stars, I would. Ordered food in an empty restaurant at 1800hrs starter pancake roll came 10 mins late, no issues. Then we waited for an hour and still no main meal. We asked and they seemed on getting the Delivery orders out over our meal. We said enough, we are off. Then they said oh we are just doing it now!!!!! Try and support local businesses, and they seriously can't be bothered. Got a takeaway from another Chinese on the island and it was ready in 15mins. Bottled Beer was also expensive and out of date
