Beijing Chef — Restaurant in Nottingham

Both of which were great. For mains we had a beef chow mein which again was lovely. Make sure you try the chilli sauce. It’s delicious and has a great depth of flavour. We also enjoyed a nice red wine and a pot of jasmine tea. The service was friendly and efficient. The price was also really...
