    A very pleasant experience - best chinese food for a long time. Ordered an assortment of dishes which were very tasty, particularly the spare ribs. Food was freshly cooked and served promptly. Service was attentive and polite. Happily go back if we are in the area again..

    Food was tasty and good portion sizes, only downside was that there was some things brought in frozen and deep fried to defrost. We had the 50% off from Fork and i think the true price point of this restaurant is somewhere between 50% and full price. We happen to go during the Sunday of Chinese New Year. Appreciate that its busy and table wasnt ready when we turned up, i didnt mind waiting whilst people finished but, then other guests who had booked for and arrived after us were seated before us as there was very little management of the bookings. Overall a decent restaurant and hot point was nice.

    I hope these guys stay in business. This is hearty Northern Chinese food done really well. The service is brisk and really polite and friendly. An addition to this part of South East London.

    The food was tasty and the service was pretty good (depending on the server). Restaurant was not fancy but comfortable and basic. Note that promotions (including TheFork discounts) have to be paid in cash though.

    We were well-looked after by Lee, he took the time and had the patience to explain the different dishes and how they would taste like. The food was excellent, one of the best Chinese restaurant I have ever been to, it had a lot of variety and the spices were really good. I will definitely go back, and I can warmly recommend this restaurant.
