Sesame Prawn Toast 虾多士 (£2.50) Char Siew Chow Mein 叉烧炒面- Large (£5)

Verdict: OMG I was so glad to find a good Chinese restaurant in Coventry which is reasonably priced and serves XXL portions to satisfy the ravenous Aishwarrya inside me 🤤 The ah ma who served me really made my day with her efficient service and warm hospitality that made me feel at home 🥰 The Char Siew Chow Mein was value for price given the portion. 🐷 Pair it with their spicy chilli oil for a punch of flavour and spiciness!! My tastebuds came to life after trying their chilli oil bcos it’s extremely hard to get ‘spicy’ food in UK which is genuinely spicy HAHAHA 🌶 Sesame Prawn Toast 🍤 - everyone’s favourite Chinese starter was a deep fried masterpiece sizzled to golden brown perfection. It tasted more like a toasted bread with minced prawn fillet inside (do not expect the actual prawn inside it); do remember to dip it with their sweet chilli which is incredibly satisfying. This is a classic Chinese takeaway order, alongside a chow mein 🥢🥡 I also received a plate of complimentary prawn crackers which was a tasty...

I strongly believe that I was treated in this shoddy manner because I do not fit their Chinese Student demographic . To serve the wrong dish and then bring it back to me with even more hot chilies is just obtuse . And before anyone thinks it , no , there was not a...

Authentic long-standing household restaurant with an amazing range of dishes on the menu. The TV on the wall has played the same music videos for almost 10 years. Being privately-run means they do not rely too much on "Central Kitchens" which wrap and deliver batches of ready-made meals in plastic bags. I have observed that many Chinese restaurant chains are supported and supplied by the Central Kitchens nowadays. This one has not yet been so. So I like it. Make it an adventure by asking for "Chinese menu" and recommendations, as they have two systems of menus, one for Western customers and one for Chinese. All Chinese restaurants do. Of course, neither menu is shortchanging the customers as the formula and taste are long used and tested to suit different preferences. But it doesn't...
