Great experience, loved the food i ordered especially the beef and ginger with spring onion dish. It really reminded me of proper Chinese cuisine. The prawns i ordered was quite flavorful and beautifully cooked the staff showed us how to properly peel and eat them which was quite challenging and at the same time fun to experience. Don't know what the other reviewer is complaining about obviously he does not understand Chinese food nor does he respect food wastage.

My friends and I ordered the three course peking duck. One thing different was the cook comes out with a wheeled cart and cuts the duck up in right front of you!! Quite a spectacle. When it came to eating with the pancake skin, the duck skin was crunchy and the meat was soft. So far so good.. Then came the duck meat with salted cabbage but we asked for bean sprouts instead which he was more than happy to do. Then to finish off we got a big bowl of the duck soup which tasted great with the previous bean sprout dish. Service was great, if not a bit slow (possibly because it was quite busy at the time) so no complaints there. All in all it was a fun night out!

Firstly I have to say, efficient and friendly service from the front of house. But I was apalled by the standard of food. Our prawns came un-peeled with vein intact and our spring onion and ginger beef was inedible. Chewy and slimy would be the best description. When it came to pay, we tried to pay for everything except the beef which had one piece taken but not eaten and was sent back. After been offered to pay half of the inedible beef we asked politely to speak for the chef who promptly gave us a yelling and accused us of being to poor to pay, then threatened to ring the police. I have never felt so offended and ripped off for a dining experience.
