Used to be my favourite Chinese restaurant when I go to Birmingham for conference,when I visited yesterday and ordered roast pork with vegetables, it such a disappointment the pork was old and the rice had gone off when I reached London the container has been drenched because they just put all the chili sauce in like it's food for a pig. Today I ordered my use to be favourite beef noodles soup however they forgot to give me the clear soup broth and I specifically said I no longer wanted the charsui pork bec of yesterday it didn't taste nice and yet today when I ordered the 4 roast meat I only got the three variety and was charged for four altogether I was charged £28.50. I have taken my friends there once because I kept on telling them how good and authentic the food was and how it reminded me of my dad when he use to take me to the Chinese restaurant back home, however after today I am never coming back.it no longer is as nice as it used to be but rather a disappointment.😞also the lady that served me today was very grumpy and unapproachable, I may not speak Chinese fluently anymore having lived in the UK for so long but that doesn't mean that you won't offer a good service just because of that grounds. I won't recommend this place to anyone...

Definitely worth having a look in and glad we did.

The food was excellent definitely a little taste of Hong Kong but In Birmingham.

The cuisine is wholesome Cantonese dishes with all your standard dishes.

We went for a fish and tofu and crackling pork pot as a little extra to accompany Our roast meat noodle soup and beef flank crispy noodles.

Prices are very reasonable and portions are excellent.

Everything was flavoursome, normally am not a fan of roast charsiu pork as it can be quite dry I find, but this was exceptional lovely balance of sweetness with the caramelized from the roast. And pork was tender and juicy.

The service was super friendly as it was our first visit, it felt like going to a aunties house. When I went to pay I didn’t even need to ask and she was like would you like to pack the left over as portion was very generous and we couldn’t eat it all.

If your looking for excellent service, cheap prices and a taste of Hong Kong I recommend coming here. Don’t be deterred by the basic decor, but it reminds me of the Hong Kong cha tan teng places.

Shame I don’t live closer or I would be going for...
