Portion Size and Pricing

Pros:

  • "The portion was very big so I took it home and had lunch And dinner with it!"
  • "Also putting a fair warning out there it out there have seen some comments re: size of the box, based on these we ended up over ordering."
  • "Great Food! Restaurant is clean, deco is pretty. Good menu, food came very quick, amazing flavour if you enjoy spicy food defo worth a visit."
  • "The hot option is the perfect heat flavour. MUST TRY: Burnt Chilli Chicken"
  • "Portion sizes could be a little bigger for higher priced items like crispy chilli beef. Overall excellent food."

Cons:

  • "The box sizes are deceiving as it holds way more food than we expected."
  • "£8 for Mongolian beef which wasn’t really any different to the beef in my noodle box. The portion seemed like a few shreds of beef which was very disappointing."
  • "Taste is average, wouldn't rush back to have it. Portions could be a little bigger considering my 8 year old had his full portion of noodles and didn't claim to be full."
  • "Very disappointed with this place especially after all the hype reviews on social media. The food had absolutely no flavour, over greased."
  • "The food is great! The service is fast considering how busy it can get. I have had the chicken noodles, burnt chilli chicken, crispy chilli beef and the chicken balls - all were delicious! Will be returning often :)"

Atmosphere and Decor

Pros:

  • "Love it!! The prices were very good for a Chinese shop as i thought it will be more expensive. Dinning in is very good. The decor, bathroom and seats were amazing and looked so fancy!!"
  • "Service was impeccable - they were crazy busy but service was fast and friendly. Tables were cleaned down as soon as some left get thoroughly! Decor of the restaurant is very nice."
  • "The interior is beautifully decorated, and there's downstairs seating!"
  • "Great looking place and clean inside."
  • "The decor is very nice and has a cozy atmosphere."

Cons:

  • "My only negative point is that the ladies toilets were out of service on both occasions I visited. Also the area to wash your hands is nice but there were no hand towels/tissues or hand dryer available."
  • "Despite originally having an awkward unprofessional experience from a kitchen staff member, the outcome was pleasantly amended."
  • "I was quite excited to try this new place as it had Chinese staff but it was disappointing."
  • "Strange then, the dine-in food is served in the same cardboard boxes as takeaway. Maybe a different presentation without school lunch trays for dine-in would top this place off as one of the most premium (but affordable) eateries on Mile End road."
  • "The food was good. Nothing to shout about, but hearty, clean and authentic. The batter was inconsistent between some dishes - crispier on some prawns and soggy on others."
