Really great Chinese restaurant! We had the all-you-can-eat hot pot, and it was fantastic—good quality ingredients, delicious broth, and a really good price £25 no service charge. The fact that it includes unlimited drinks makes it even better value. I’d definitely love to come back and try some of the other dishes! Cash only
It was cold and tipping down with rain when I visited, so immediately on being seated I was brought some hot tea 🤗 A really nice touch. I chose to sit at a table for 1 but was offered a warmer seat at a table for 4. I politely declined, but again, I very much appreciated the thought and care 🙏
I ordered stir-fry green beans with chilli, stewed pork belly in sweet soy sauce, and egg fried rice. Absolutely amazing. I used to have a similar meal at SoJo in the city centre before it closed. The sauce was exactly as I wanted it; sweet and salty, sticky with rendered fat, soaking into the rice. The pork tender and delicious. The beans (I could have eaten 2 portions) offset the protein and carb heavy main, and again were delicious; perfectly seasoned.
This is the 3rd time I've been and I can't wait to return.
.. a real authentic Chinese meal, the flavours so rich and zingy and warm and just the perfect touch of spice and so yummy! I loved it. If I lived nearby I'd go every week. I hugged the owner on the way out I had enjoyed it so much. Thank you Jin Jin!
