Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Mediocre food and awful service. Avoid at all costs. We should have left from the first dish. We had prawn crackers that were worst than what you get in a supermarket.

Basic decor in this restaurant but the service was good and food was best Chinese since I was in Hong Kong a few years ago. Would happily eat here again.

How can you messed up an egg fried rice ? i am asian and have been to many Chinese restaurants in the uk, while the price in this restaurant is similar to others in Notts, the quality is clearly not. The egg fried rice was...an absolute nightmare for £3.90 for plain rice mixed in eggs Honestly if they actually wok fried and seasoned it it wouldn’t taste like that. Because the you would be able to taste the aromatic coming from high heat wok. I do encourage you to come and try it for yourself tho On the window they put a piece of article that says “city restaurant that had top critic licking his lips” along with big glass windows That’s what fooled me into trying this restaurant Paid £23.50 for all of these, did not finish.More

Best Chinese meal I’ve ever eaten in the UK. The food is wonderfully authentic and incredibly tasty. Service was first class. Cannot fault the place at all and cannot wait to return.

One of my friends tried their takeaway 🥡 and it looked good. Therefore, we decided to visit the restaurant during the weekend. We ordered 3 dishes ~ 🦆 薑蔥鴨 Roast Duck with Ginger & Spring Onion ~ 🎣 斑腩豆腐煲 Fish Fillet with Bean Curd Casserole...~ 🥬 蒜蓉白菜 Garlic Pak Choi ⭐ The food was served fresh and very quick service. However, the roast duck was a bit lower than our expectation 🤔 as the portion of duck was little compared to the amount of onion. But overall the food tastes great 😋More

The rice and noodles were clearly pre cooked. Both soggy and the egg fried rice didn’t taste of egg,no spring onion nothing!……Meat was decent reasonably good. Prawn toast was burnt and taste awful. The best and most lovely dish was the salt and pepper squid....Overall I wouldn’t order again. £40 is a lot of money to receive such food.More

Having read about this restaurant we decided to give it a try. Simply furnished with no ‘cheesy’ Chinese artefacts, it is all about the cuisine, which is the best I’ve had outside of Manchester’s Chintatown or Hong Kong itself! The hot & sour soup was...exactly that, and was followed by a chicken dish, a pork dish, a cabbage dish and a generous bowl of rice. By the end we were stuffed and satisfied, all for under £20 each (we chose the Shanghai set menu). I cannot recommend this restaurant enoughMore

We ordered a takeaway for the first time from the restaurant, we had eaten several times in the restaurant and the food was amazing. The takeaway was very good but didn’t seem as authentic as the eat in meals. One of the dishes, chicken with...honey and black bean, looked completely different to when we ate in. Still a very good meal but left us a bit perplexed!More
