This place is the BOMB! Probably the best Chinese cuisine I've ever had. The prawn spring rolls were to DIE FOR and the peas in the beef stir fry were just as good as the meat. Absolutely nothing left behind on the plate. The staff were efficient, friendly and happy to stop for a chat. Noise level wasn't too bad at all even after it filled up. Very happy to recommend!

We went for the Feed Me menu after seeing a show at The Princess Theatre. Being vegan our options were limited but every plate was super delicious! The staff were engaging, friendly and helpful. Although we had a small table almost in a corner it didn't feel cramped and we hardly noticed the diners around us. Great value. Great location. Amazing food. Highly recommend
