I visited today with my brother and it was beautiful. I have never been before and I was not disappointed. I was overwhelmed by our lovely server Ice (I think I’ve spelt that right?! Sorry if not!) she was soo lovely, gave a perfect recommendation of the ribs - I can confirm she was 100% right! We also ment the very welcoming manager Josh, and bonded over the same name as my brother I was with! 10/10 would definitely recommend the char Sui and the salt and pepper ribs. We will be back!

First time here and we absolutely loved it. Portion sizes were great, we ordered far too much food and have learnt for next time. We had duck spring rolls, bbq ribs, char sui bao, and the sesame prawn balls. The spring rolls and the bao were among the best we've eaten, not the most amount of meat on the ribs (which I know is difficult sometimes) and prawn balls were something we tried and just weren't for us. For mains we had a chicken chow mein, salt and pepper chicken wofh steamed rice and a mixed meat vermicelli. All the mains were huge (well worth the price) and we ended up taking loads home. Food comes out at different times which they tell you at the time of ordering, no issue for us at all.

What a fabulous restaurant, with friendly, helpful service and fresh, tasty food. The whole experience was enjoyable here and there is a lovely, lively vibe throughout the restaurant. We ordered 2 small plates and a large plate per couple and there was plenty of food. Every dish was delicious and the ingredients were great quality and fresh. Our server Liv was super helpful and helped us navigate the menu towards dishes we’d prefer. Great beer, food and service.

As a first timer I’m thrilled to say it was a lovely experience. The restaurant looked fab outside and in. Great service from the lovely Rosie. The food was excellent and such good value, portion sizes for the money were huge. As a honorary Manc (48 years and counting) I was delighted to learn that you have a branch in Manchester too
