Overall, it's recommended for its taste, value, and welcoming atmosphere.
"We dined in on a Saturday night. The place was full but the service was eager and spot on.
Drinks came quickly and then the food was brought out without too much wait between courses. We had duck stuffed with prawn meat and the sweet and sour king prawns.
The food was fresh and tasty and the sharing starter in particular was lovely.
Not a word of complaint, even the folks on the next table enjoyed their food too although the lady was asked about 6 times if she wanted to order a drink 😂.
We don’t know their names but they made our night extra special too."
Sandra Ford
"Haven't been since before 2020. Was not sure what to expect with a variety of positive and negative reviews. Safe to say, I was delighted with my meal.
Food was fantastic, value for money was fairly matched with the quality and quantity of the food and drink, really impressed with the taste and the portion sizes, food across the board was impressive.
Service was really good and not overly attentive either, felt we were looked after whilst being left to eat our meal. Staff were very friendly and welcoming, felt invited into the restaurant and wanted there, which isn't always the case in all restaurants.
We visited at lunch time so the atmosphere was quiet but peaceful with the music and overall environment, I really enjoyed the whole experience and I'd highly recommend giving this a go regardless of reviews. The best review is always your own!"

"Went there for the first time. The food was excellent. There are set menus and the normal full menu. Everything looked amazing, so we ordered a lot and took some home with us. The service was excellent, and the staff was very polite and courteous. I would recommend it without any hesitation."
