"Unfortunately, I found myself with a group of family friends that needed Chinese food while visiting Windsor, and there is nothing worse than a Chinese restaurant at a tourist hotspot."
"The others got a wonton noodle soup where the prawn wontons left a distinctly off-fish aftertaste for hours."
"Having seen that it was number 1 on Trip Advisor we thought it must be good. We weren't there for an adventurous meal but rather something fast so we both had the prawn stir fry noodles."

Location and Atmosphere
Pros:
"The location is in a cute little alley outside of Windsor Castle."
"It’s a little nook of a place inside and has a nice little outside area."
"I had an incredible dining experience at a prime location."
"A gem in the city of Windsor that was converted to a restaurant from a pup."
"Original architecture from 600 years ago. Second oldest building in Windsor is an amazing restaurant for locals and especially tourists."
"The building is historic and atmospheric, full of wooden beams and panels."
"The main dishes are big portions, to the point it’s more of a sharing portion than for 1 person."
"The restaurant is cosy and decorations are unique. It is said that tables, chairs and even dishes are all shipped from China."
Cons:
"Be aware that plain egg fried rice will cost you nearly £7.00 per portion on top of your main course."
"If you fancy an average tasting overpriced meal in Windsor, look no further."
"I ate off the “Authentic” part of the menu. Delicious. Maybe doesn’t jibe well with the western expectations for Chinese food."
"The food was ok, for the price I would’ve expected more. The big problem however is that I definitely didn’t feel welcome."
"We ordered crispy shredded chilli beef and sweet and sour chicken balls. The food was the most tasteless Chinese food I have ever eaten."
"The food was quite mediocre taste at best. Shame."
"it's a tourist trap, seriously overpriced, bad service, average food."
"I'm Chinese living in London. Took my parents to Windsor Castle for a day trip and went to 1432 China kitchen for a Chinese meal as it is supposed to be authentic."

"Astonishingly expensive BUT the best vegan Chinese food you’ll ever eat."
"Food wasn't great - duck was overcooked and dumplings weren't very tasty."

"The prices are extortionate in comparison to the meagre portion size."
"Sea food and wasn’t fresh. Couldn’t eat. Complained at the end and was only charged 50% as I had taken a few mouth falls."
