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.

Out with a group of friends, we booked for 8-8.15 but didn’t get there until 8.30 due to being in the escape room and it ran a little over. At time of booking they explained they closed at 10pm which wasn’t a problem. I called...ahead to book the set menu to give them a head start as we were running late. One friend arrived at 8ish and was promptly told they close at 9.45 staff were rude. Starters and main course were pretty much thrown at us all at once, it was cold and dreadful! They were talking in what I guess was Chinese to each other with attitude which made for an uncomfortable atmosphere. Won’t be returning and wouldn’t recommend!More

Really welcoming staff, menu was easy to order from. We had set menu and the amount of food we had was just right for us. No waste, really attentive staff and food came out quick and hot. Really recommend this place.

First time ordering food from this restaurant! By far one of THE best Chinese take outs we’ve ever had. Everything was amazing. Especially the satay chicken skewers. 10/10. Thank you so much!!

I hadn't been here in ten years; it used to be my go-to Chinese restaurant in Ipswich, but it has changed a lot since my last visit. Firstly, they've had a refit, and the new layout snd lighting is far less cosy. Secondly, there are...now very few vegetarian dishes on offer. Previously, the chef was happy to adapt any dish to include tofu instead of the meat/seafood option - this is no longer possible. There are now around 3-5 vegetarian main dishes on the menu, and there is no tofu available at all. The food we had was very nice, however out starter of spring rolls was cold in the middle when it arrived. We asked for it to be warmed up, but it came back still cold in the middle. In short: great for meat and seafood eaters - scarce choice for veggies.More

It took 2 hours to deliver the meal and when it arrived, one dish was crushed and had spilled into the bag, soaking everything else (photo provided). One item was wrong, it was meant to be 2 large spring rolls, but we received a bag...of small ones. These were vile and had to be thrown away. The whole meal was cold and dishes weren't very nice in general. Very disappointing and overpriced. We paid £6.10 for the prawn toast and received the tiny strips in the photo. Massive waste of time and money!More

Came here for a meal on Monday I found the lady owner behind the desk rude and unwelcoming. Food was 3/10 over priced and small portions for 21.50 per head. Sweet chilli sauce was watered down so much … also the food lacked real flavour.

Had a lovely dinner at this restaurant. We were pretty early, so the restaurant was quiet - but service was good. All of the dishes we ordered were really tasty and the set menu with flexibility of "any main dish" was really good. Recommended.
