Chinese food is my favourite and i absolutely loved this.. Sweet sour pork, Honey chicken, Satay chicken with Special Fried Rice.. All very satisfying. Will be bringing back my family/Partner to eat here for as long the place exists. Delicious, and to the staff that served me.. Thank you.

Ordered food here via Uber eats and went to pick it up the food was so yummy if I had to make a complaint I would say the Mongolian beef had too much flavour and the fried was wasn’t fried rice it was white rice with peas in it but still tasted really nice
