Excellent value for money. Amazing flavour. It might just be my personal opinion but I loved my sizzling beef in oyster sauce, it was so delicious. The service was really good too. We loved it.

What to say best Chinese food in Manchester, or dare I say in the U.K? Well in my experience yes. I have tried quite a few within the China town and a few others else where. I never got the taste that I experienced while living and working in China. They have a standard Chinese menu if you want to taste the Classic Anglo-Chinese taste and a Chinese menu which has more authentic cuisines and tastes. They are well priced and portion sizes are good. Well worth a visit if you are after some authentic oriental taste.

This place serves very authentic Chinese dishes, like what people would usually eat when they eat out in Mainland China. So the food is spicy. Pricing is reasonable. Portion is reasonable. Highly recommend.
