Reviews
"It was very quiet, which can be good or bad depending on your preference. It meant we were served quickly! The staff explained the concept to my friends well enough. The food was great, we got a mild and a medium spice pot. Both were very flavorful. Generous amount of each selected component. Great value for money"
"The restaurant was cold as only 1 heater was working and we had to sit there in our coats. Staff were cleaning around us while we were eating, spraying disinfectant and doing washing up at the bar. Not all dishes were hot, had to send back some prawns, which they then heated up in the microwave. The chilli squid tasted like the oil was old or reused and the plates they gave us were wet. We were made to feel unwelcome, like they wanted us to leave and we felt uncomfortable, the staff were talking loudly amongst themselves and were not attentive. It’s a shame as the last time I ate there for a family birthday the food tasted really fresh and was good, I am reluctant to go back."
"The food selection is great. We have visited more than six times and every new dish we try is delicious. And with a fair price. Ideal for groups who like to share."
"We ordered hotpot, everything was very good. I think the cleanliness of the restaurant could be improved"
"Pretty unassuming Chinese restaurant near Reading station with a menu of Sichuan dishes, Cantonese dishes, Fish and Hot Pot. This time a friend and I had the hot pot and were pleasantly surprised, the soup was pretty good and we got a choice of 8 items from the menu to boil up. At about £22 per person, it’s relatively expensive but for a proper Chinese food fix I’d definitely recommend it. The waitress was friendly and there was a wide range of drinks as well as ingredients for a hot pot dipping sauce. I’d like to return and try out the Sichuan dishes."
