    This is just really mediocre. Duck is dry and chewy. Other dishes come in lazy. It's not authentic Chinese at all but adapted version catering the taste of local people.

    Don't normally get Chinese, ordered to collect on way home from town. Was ready within 20 minutes with prawn crackers thrown in. Got black bean chicken with fried rice and spring rolls. Will order again.

    Not an authentic Chinese restaurant, but the food was ok(not the best, but good). I have found that the service, although nice and attentive, was slow (it took 40 minutes just to have starters). Might be worth to come back again to review my comment on this restaurant.

    I was there last night at around 6pm but it was full and I didn't reserved a table. Today at about 1pm I was there without a reservation and got a seat. Lunch set is not bad with 13,50euros with coffee or tea or softdrink including one appetizer. Servers are very polite. Toilet is clean

    Food is amazing! I had the Thai style duck which was really aromatic and not spicy at all but super yummy. My fiancé had the pepper sauce chicken which was a quite spicy and super yummy. Staff is really friendly and we didn’t have to wait long until the food was on the table.

    Nice Chinese. Service fast and friendly. Dim sum starter lovely. Main course of chicken in black bean very average. Avoid ordering a glass of wine, which I felt had been open for a while.

    Got a 4 in 1 and shredded chicken. Food was delicious. Was very happy with the 4 in 1, as it had crispy chicken inside. Would pop back there again if very hungry.

    I tried the Amber Fire Chicken Wings. These chicken wings were lit! And let me tell you, they were sensationally hot. 🔥 If you're into spicy food, these are a must-try. The flavor was off the charts! I also ordered the Khao Pad. The combination of pineapple and jasmine rice was sweet and savory, and the chicken and prawn added that perfect touch. Absolutely delicious! 😋

    Cheap takeaway food under the guise of a Chinese restaurant. Ate here today and had the worst Singapore Chow Mein of my life and at 16.95 euro on top of it. It was like a poor homemade noodle dish, made with egg noodles instead of rice noodles and no char siu pork or beef, also no chillies even though I asked for extra spicy. It was pickled in pepper and barely edible. When I mentioned it to the waiter, I got a ridiculous explanation and a defensive apology, and he then later slammed ice cream bowls down in front of 2 kids. I can see why people eat here, just seems to be cheap takeaway food, but if you want proper Chinese food, look elsewhere. Also, diabolical and inexcusable attitude from staff.

    I had Really nice Chicken and Sweetcorn soup and Chicken Satay for my dinner but was horrified that there was a human hair in my food and I wanted to eat it how annoying. 😔 But I still would go back as the food is quite nice.

    I like this place, the atmosphere is nice and the coffee is good, the small size is so big.

    I have only ever ordered take-out via the Deliveroo app from Aroma but each meal has been perfect. Their green curry and chilli chicken dishes - along with the gyoza - are delicious.

  • 5/5 Jesse M. 1 year ago on Google
    We got the wings as a starter, they were super spicy but absolutely amazing. , Satay was the best I’ve ever had , service was very attentive and quick, would recommended , Wow!

    I had a terrible experience when I ate here. My food came too quickly to be cooked properly and wasn't what I ordered. It was a shared meal, which ended up making me have to pay more. It's food is way too overpriced, and as well as that the food isn't even up to good quality. I have tasted better. I was told the price of the meal by a worker, but when I went up to the till to pay, it was a completly different price. It was more expensive. I also didn't even get to relax, as I was asked if I'm done whilst I was still eating my food. I was being watched while I ate, which made me highly uncomfortable, as they clearly wanted me to finish up. That made me hurry eating and not even finish, as I wanted to leave. I wasn't probably even in the restaurant for 15 minutes. All in all, I will never come back here again.
