"Beautiful asian style restaurant with lovely food, and a considerate and friendly staff. Had an amazing dinner there. Thank you very much 😊"

"Food is always generally good ,
Service could be better , I placed an order and it was pick up in 10-15 minutes
Only to get up there and it changed to 30 minutes , then to collect the order and be told another 10 minutes … and the girl couldn’t care at all . I guess I’ll be looking for somewhere else that wants the 10k a year
We spend there on takeaway.
I should of just got home delivery,"
