We had dinner in here last night. The place seemed ok at first and busy. However, service felt rushed. We noticed they welcomed other customers and gave them prawn crackers as they sat down. We didn't get any. They were more interested in getting our order as quick as possible even though we had booked. We had 2 starters of wanton soup and buffalo wings. The soup was good but the wings were very average. The sauce is on the side and not buffalo sauce. It wasn't a good pairing for the wings. The mains were good but not amazing. We had sweet and sour and noodles. The food came out very quickly, so obviously, it's not freshly made. When we were finishing our main, they stood by us to take the plates away so we didn't feel relaxed. It felt like a canteen vibe with nice furniture. A pint is 6.90 also.

The food, service and staff are all amazing but please do something about the door so we can eat in comfort without getting...
Read moreWe celebrated a birthday here with a party of 14 people. Positives: Service was good, Food was ok, the wine was excellent! Prawn dumplings were tasty and very fresh. The servers were polite and friendly. Negatives: Drinks were slow to arrive, I had to prompt the waitress to bring the drinks over which were sitting at the bar for a while. Sizzling lamb was entertaining, but dish wasn't moreish. We felt the venue cannot cater to large groups. 2 starters for spring rolls, arrived after everyone finished their starters. The food arrived when it was ready, meaning people had to wait and watch others eating. After dinner, 4 people were still drinking wine and the rest were chatting. The waitress asked for the table back after spending £600, there wasn't a queue. We left promptly while the others stayed back to...
