    Authentic Chinese Dim Sum. One of the best Chinese food in East Anglia. We regularly drive 1 hour to go for a meal there because it’s that good. Was pleased to have been able to visit once more before COVID lockdown.

    Went here for a double date after my partner had been recommending it for a good while, the atmosphere was very charming, the food tasted amazing, there was lots to choose from on the menu and the staff were very polite. While the drinks were slightly expensive this was not much of an issue as the taste, quality and portion sizes 100% made up for any shortcomings. I would definitely recommend here for dates or larger groups looking to share food and get a good conversation in.

    One of the best Chinese restaurants I have been too! Service was great and really friendly. Food was great. Prices were okay. Not terrible but bit cheap either. I'll be going back again without a doubt

    Hard to give a review after getting a cold but the takeaway was to the side. Had a pint while I waited. I had beef with flat rice noodles, which was good and the beef was nice and tender. Lost my sense of taste so hard to tell how the food tastes. But overall it was good. About 20mins wait but had a pint. Staff nice.
