Despite what inaccurate Google claim, this place is actually only closed on Wednesdays. The rest of the week you can visit and sample their delights. Possibly one of my favourites. Real Chinese food, not the westernised rubbish. I can't fault this place. Pic of chicken feet, which are delicious!
Unfortunately, our experience at this restaurant was quite disappointing. We started with the spring rolls, which tasted like they came straight from a frozen packet—no freshness or proper texture. The prawn sesame toast came with three pieces, and one of them was undercooked, pale in color and not crispy at all. The lemon honey chicken was by far the worst dish of the night. The chicken was dry and tough to chew, and the sauce was thin, watery, and lacked flavor. We also ordered the sweet and sour shrimp as a main, but it didn’t live up to expectations either. The sauce was overly sweet, very light in color, and tasted more like a mix of starch, sugar, and water than a proper sweet and sour sauce—even as a dipping sauce it wouldn’t work. To top it off, the timing of the food was very poorly managed. Appetizers came out at the same time as the mains, and the soup arrived when we were nearly done eating. Overall, the food quality and service coordination need serious improvement. Not a place I would return to.
Honestly, it's one of the best Chinese I've ever had! Super tasty and authentic food, not too greasy and packed with flavour. Would definitely recommend the 'Chinese tea'. Only issue is that the portions were huge, so bring a good appetite!
Simply one of the best Chinese restaurants in Hull the place is an institution! Delicious food for a fair price. Friendly waiter and a great atmosphere what more do you need. We had the crispy squid to start followed by vegetable fried noodles, roast BBQ pork and crispy tofu that was incredible. Lots of exciting options on the menu we will be back to try something different.
Cute place if you are craving some nice traditional chinese food. We were visiting the area and found this nice place on Google Maps. I am vegan so I asked for a nice tofu with vegetables dish. It was really tasty. ✨✨ The only con was the final bill, prices are higher then expected. Thank you✌️
