Dined here on a wet Scottish Wednesday evening. The smell of Szechwan peppers hit you as soon as you enter the restaurant. Are gonna get our socks blown off with hot spice? Was kinda worried as we had children with us.It was busy with mainly Chinese customers at around 645pm. We were able to get a table upstairs. Not your typical Chinese restaurant, they serve traditional dishes here. Some quite unusual, so it did take a while to read the menu and figure out what to order. Not all dishes had pictures in the menu. There what I assume was specials on a blackboard. But unfortunately it was written in Chinese.
Dishes packed full of flavour. The steamed garlic prawns and salt and chilli squid very fresh and cooked just right. These were our favourite. The minced garlic didn't over power the sweetness of the fresh shelled prawns , the vermicelli noodles underneath soaked up the juices. The juices were so good we added it to our rice. The squid seasoning was so good, light crispy coating. The sweet and sour ribs had a nice tang and not overly sweet . The tofu had a kick to them with the szewan pepper seasoning, thankfully not fresh size peppers. As they get rather spicy. It had just right amount to give you a touch of numbness. I would happily dine here again and try other dishes.
Having dined here a few times since our first visit. I am a bit concerned about the broken crockery being used to serve food. The chilli oil chicken we had the plate had about three big chips. It does not make for an attractive photo. As well as not safe for customers to handle and the risk of parts of the damaged crockery falling...
Read moreSEE NEWEST PICTURES AND MAKE YOUR OWN MIND UP IF THIS IS RAW CHICKEN OR OTHER MEAT. MANAGER REPLIED THAT IM CONFUSED? HOW INSULTING. Was served this as a type of salt and chilli chicken. If it’s chicken, it’s still pink and therefore a health hazard.
If it’s another meat, we were falsely sold tbis as chicken.
I pointed it out to the head waitress/manager and her response was ‘is it chicken? It is this colour because it is deep fried’.
No offer of a replacement; no offer to take it back to the kitchen; no offer of a partial refund. Two of us stopped eating our meals as both meals contained this meat. Most of it being left
The two younger girls waitressing were also looking over at our table and laughing at us for some reason unbeknownst to me.
We visited on 17th October around 5.30-6pm and were seated right beside...
Read moreDidn't even get the chance to try the food. Why? Because the waitress screamed at us as soon as we got in. When we tried to sit at the table she suddenly yelled at us don't sit there. We asked why but she just loudly exclaimed ''So tired, so tired!!!'' and ignored us and walked over to a chair and lied down on it haha. I mean, girlllllllll, I know you are tired, but can't you at least sit the customers first and then do all that? I also work in the service industry and I know how hard it is but girllllllllllll, that was rude af. And after that, we are just standing there like 2 cavemen, she isn't even acknowledging us or telling us where in the hell we are allowed to sit. After standing there for a few minutes and getting 0 attention from both the waitresses, we left....
