Arrived with a friend to order food, there was unfortunately only 1 female serving the whole restaurant. But considering the reviews and look of other dishes people were having, we didn't mind the slow response to order our dishes. However from here on the service, whether intentional or not was awful. Firstly the tables next to ours was cleared for a Chinese family of 4 who had just arrived. Which we didn't mind, but It was clear that the husband who went to the front counter after the women had cleared the table for them, decided to put his order in and then return to the table. Bearing in mind we had been waiting patiently for at least 15 mins before they had even come into the restaurant.
To make matters worse another couple came in after the family, seated straight away and as we found out after having waited approx 50mins without our food(extremely hungry at this point) that they had been served at the same time as the family. So with our dishes no where to be seen, my friend had had enough. Decided to tell the server that he wasn't happy, which she replied that the groups had come in before us. This broke the camels back.
To clarify, both groups served before were of west Asian decent, myself East Asian and friend English/Jamaican heritage felt that whether intentional or not that there was a bias towards these individuals along these lines.
So disappointed and totally different experience to visiting Hot pang BBQ...
Read moreI love this place so much I couldn't recommend it more. It's a great little spot with really lovely staff, the young man and young girl that serves us are always really caring . I can't even count the amount of times me and my boyfriend have gone now. We usually get sweet and sour tofu and maos pork which are always great portions - I often need a takeout box because I can't finish it all. I love how fluffy the rice is as well. We have also gotten the noodles before which are always brilliant. I'd recommend not going in a large group because it's quite small and I don't think there's many staff in the back for food to come as quick, but I'm sure they'd try there best if you did, just be more patient, it's a small place. It is cash only but there's a machine just opposite (and a few on Beeston high street) so it's always fine. If you go for lunch they have a cheaper menu with rice together with the meal if your looking for something a bit smaller too. Couldn't recommend this...
Read moreThis little restaurant is one of Beeston's hidden gems; you can literally walk past the entrance without realising that there is a restaurant there! The decor and atmosphere is simple and unfussy, but the food is fantastic and very reasonably priced.
Having spent time in South-East Asia, I can confirm that this is one of the most authentic Chinese restaurants I've been to in the UK. Very popular with locals and students looking for a taste of home.
Service is great but unintusive; friendly, helpful staff and owner.
The food is really delicious. As a family we have been coming here for years - we've never had anything we didn't like.
Our regular favourites include Chairman Mao's pork, salt and pepper squid, and their prawn and pork toast which is the highlight of their starters. I'll add photos when I remember to take them.
Just be aware it's cash only. There's plenty of parking locally, either at Tesco or...
