This Chinese restaurant is very close to Summertown. The food is nice and fresh. The service is fast and the ambiance certainly reflects cultural elements.
Overall we enjoyed the experience though the temperature inside the restaurant could be a little higher as I had to keep another layer on..

This Chinese restaurant was walking distance from our hotel. We were sat immediately upon arrival and were given the menus. There was a lot to choose from but ended up getting the corn and chicken soup, spring rolls, Mongolian beef, Sweet and sour chicken, chicken chow mein, and egg fried rice. A lot of food, there portions were large, we all ate a lot and had some leftovers. Overall, the food was good. The chow mein has a smokey sweet flavor and the sweet and sour chicken is very sweet so it was a little too sweet. The food was hot and came out quickly. We were satisfied and the workers were so kind.

Services was okay, the guys was rushing for us to order and waiter will come over to keep the rice bucket even before we finish the food and will scoop the rice for you.

Sweet and sour pork the best I would say.

Others are still okay.

Some of the best Canto style roast duck I’ve had in the UK. Dare I say maybe better than some of the ducks I’ve had in Hong Kong! This dish is a must order for me whenever I visit.
The service was lovely and the waitresses were doing their best and very friendly. It was nice to speak in canto and just feeling like home. The portion size was generous and felt very full afterwards!
