one of the longest going chinese in Birmingham in its self says how good it is - perfect food here every time - Ive never had a bad experience first class all the way
Sunday dimsum is the best, the staff are super friendly. Highly recommend
Probably the best Chinese I've ever had. Was there on Christmas Eve. The most extensive menu, over 350 items, is well worth studying online. I had an unadventurous set meal C, but a brilliant combination of duck, venison and prawns. The staff were attentive and very polite. Highly recommend.
I was invited to a memorial anniversary ... that was my first time there ... and I loved it... the staff were great ... the food was great ... cooked well ... I will defo be going back ... thank you ...
I guess the first time I tasted and experienced the best Cantonese food in Birmingham, I love the food, the service, the ambience, the warm of the staff, the warm of the restaurant with good heater, and reasonable price too... will be back for sure for the 2nd round dinner👏😋😘 will be my best restaurant when I am staying in Birmingham❤️💞👍👍👍
I come here as often as I can, the food is amazing!, the staff are friendly and helpful. The best Chinese food in the country!
Had the set meal for four people, it was absolutely superb. Brilliant helpful staff made the afternoon a really enjoyable experience.
Great meal tonight, food was lovely and staff were friendly! Will be back soon
Go here all time super friendly staff and amazing food. Dim sum Sunday is the best!!
Excellent food quality and great value. The restaurant had a really nice atmosphere and the staff were efficient and friendly. Best Chinese restaurant I’ve been to for a long time, I would definitely recommend.
Delicious food and not overly priced! The only criticism was the wait to order drinks and being brought food to us which we hadn’t ordered! It was very very busy and looked understaffed!
As a food and drink reviewer for a national newspaper organisation this has to be one of the luckiest choices ever made. This establishment gained a very easy five star rating for food that was plentiful in portion sizes, delicious in taste using the freshest of ingredients and complementary spices or sauces to marry the food together. Highly recommended as one of my best Chinese restaurants ever. Full dining review to follow.
Always good food and friendly staff. I’d highly recommend the ribs!!!
gluten free menu with lots of dishes to choose from
found it by accident on a visit last year and went back this year just to have the pork & squid cakes. Still delicious. It was very busy on there this time but it was Chinese New year
Not sure if prices have gone up as did seem a bit more expensive.
On this occasion it was just a quick lunch before a matinee. Had some Dim Sum off the extensive menu and a couple of starters. All tasted great and service was excellent. The main menu is extensive and would really like more opportunities to eat here at night.
We enjoyed the food . Negative point there was no finger bowls or hot towels provided to clean up after eating spare ribs so was a bit greasy
Nice restaurant but the staff not welcoming enough that let me down and upset me.
First visit...not impressed with the food or sevice. Prawns in black bean sauce...Not. chicken in sauce, crispy beef in the same sauce as the chicken and the ribs we had for starters. Not what we expected. We asked for forks but didn't get them. Won't be going there again
