Authentic in colour but not in taste. Throughout my entire life, I have never encountered such a lacklustre dining experience. Every sauce served was excessively diluted, lacking any discernible flavour.
Where has the salt gone?
The chicken chow mein was transformed into an onion chow mein, adorned with a mere garnish of chicken.
Satay chicken, which was originally intended to taste like peanuts, was instead served as a bland imitation. There are superior sachets available at Asda that could replicate this dish.
As a native of Hong Kong, I had hoped to find a familiar establishment from my childhood. However, Southampton boasts a plethora of dining options that surpass this one.

Clearly this restaurant doesn’t want repeat customers. The owner must be a millionaire charging these prices whilst having a queue out the door. I will...
