   Well there was no atmosphere as we were the only ones there on a Saturday evening. Also, although the food tasted alright, it wasn't that hot suggesting it was not cooked just before it came to our table. The noise from the bar downstairs wasn't an issue but we left at about 9:30pm. BTW 10% service is automatically added to the bill. So there was nothing to encourage me to go back.

   Lovely food and prompt and friendly service. The menu offers a good selection of food at quite a reasonable rate. The staff are attentive and helpful, and the food is of a good quality. I would recommend the restaurant, but be aware that the bar downstairs can be very noisy on a Friday or Saturday night, and the dj starts playing loud music fairly early.

   Food very good but very poor service. People seated after us served before us. Prawn crackers given to most tables, had to ask for ours. One of our dishes arrived, 15 minutes later the rest of our order arrived so first dish was cold. Not enough staff for the amount of customers. Won’t be dining there again.

   They sourced halal food for my main course only, which meant when l went to order a starter l had to order something other than the beef dumplings which l was really looking forward to. It would have been helpful to know before booking that l would have to eat a vegetarian/fish starter. The service was very slow, however the food was nice and staff were pleasant. Many thanks

   Visited on Chinese new year, obviously over booked, understaffed and poor entertainment. Ordered 2 further drinks that never arrived. Over 2.5 hours for 3 courses

   We had a great evening here with the girls. Food was excellent so fresh and tasty and the staff were nice and friendly too. We went on a Saturday evening and it was very quiet not that spoilt our evening. Just can't understand why this is as it's the only Chinese restaurant left in the town centre now. Would definitely recommend and will go back again soon.

    Good meal here for Valentine's day. The ribs were especially nice and the prawns/satay skewers. Nice and quiet so no children to ruin the experience with noise.
