Did the 2 person sharing plate. Absolutely amazing. Fab portions and super fresh and tasty. Beef was so tender and flavourful and chicken honey garlic was divine. Staff were super polite, friendly and attentive. Restaurant was clean and tidy. Definitely recommend 🌟
I visited Sky-Blue, a Chinese restaurant, and overall the experience was okay. The food tasted alright, but it was served warm rather than hot, which was a bit off-putting. For dessert, I had a truffle-like treat with a chocolate center—it was frozen solid, which made it hard to enjoy at first, but I still liked the flavor. I might consider returning, but probably with adjusted expectations.
I must admit, I was a bit hesitant when I first considered ordering from Sky Blue, because of the reviews related to delivery. But despite the scepticism, I decided to give it a go, and I am so glad I did! It’s Sunday evening, and I placed my order in the last hour before they were due to close. I was fully prepared that they might cancel my order or something given the timing and the mixed reviews. But to my surprise, the entire process was seamless and quick. The food arrived promptly, well before the estimated time, and everything was piping hot and perfectly packaged. The food was well-seasoned and tasty, far exceeding my expectations. What stood out were the portion sizes—they were noticeably larger than the average portions you’d find at other similar restaurants in the area (I couldn’t even finish it). It was value for money without compromising on quality. Thanks and I will definitely visit the restaurant soon.
We arrived at 4.30pm for an early dinner. We were greeted warmly and served quickly. The food was delicious and didn't take long to arrive. There's a good selection of food available. We chose the grilled spicy sea bass with rice and the portion was HUGE! Would come again
It was my first time having dinner in this restaurant. I really love the food because they’re so tasty. The price is reasonable. everything’s well organised and clean. I would recommend it to everyone.
