Service
Pros:
"The staff and service is good. Speed of serving is pretty quick too."
"Service great and staff very friendly."
"Staff are very friendly and attentive."
"Service was quick."
"Great staff that gave us great service."
"Service was great overall."
"Absolutely fantastic service!"
Cons:
"Whilst we were stood there one waitress had an altercation with one of the chefs."
"Service was lack at best, not very professional, staff were just hanging out at the side chatting not really paying attention to the customers."
"Experience-wise, the wait was far too long. We had reserved and still needed to wait first at the door for 10 minutes and then another 30 or more at the bar."
"Staff could be more attentive, waiting around to be seated when there's plenty of seats and for the bill at the end is not ideal."
"Service is friendly but slow ie getting drinks and getting your bill."
"Service was awful. Never asked whether the meal was good or whether everything was OK."
"Service is highly disappointing, we asked for the bill almost 3 times."
Food Quality
Pros:
"The food pushed the experience over the top. The disco wings (especially the Kung Pao) are amazing."
"Great quality fried chicken for fair prices."
"The chicken is indeed very nice."
"Hands down the best fried chicken ever."
"The food is excellent. Chicken in a host of imaginative and tasty ways."
"The szechuan aubergine was very tasty."
"Food is delicious."
Cons:
"The Katsu curry portion was very small considering the price for it."
"That cost us £45 with no drinks which is fair but the quality and taste of the food wasn’t the greatest."
"Over complicated flavours drown out the flavour of the chicken though, which defeats the object for me."
"The chips were nothing special, just oily chips."
"The food is very middling and overpriced for what it is."
"However, the drum stick and thigh had too thick and a bit over-cooked skin compared to the meat content."
"One of the chicken wings dishes we ordered had a really pungent, sour sauce on the top."
Atmosphere
Pros:
"A really nice family friendly place."
"Friendly retro 80's vibe with deliberately mismatched vintage crockery."
"The atmosphere too is loud and fun, with lots of group tables, staff joking with one another and an excellent playlist."
"The 80's inspired interior design and great sound tracks makes you feel home right from the beginning!"
"The basement setting brings a wicked vibe and the whole dining room has busy bustle to it!"
"The vibes are cool."
"The ambience is nice and they do a good job of somehow making it feel quite intimate even in the tight space."
Cons:
"The only thing is the restaurant is a little small and I found it cold."
"But I think the place has got a bit of an identity crisis - it’s sort of a mash up of loads of different interior-design trends, all in one place."
"The music was quite loud."
"You may have the feeling you are in a strip club more than a restaurant."
"The atmosphere was unpleasant with the extreme noise of the waitress cleaning the forks & spoons!"
"The atmosphere is very loud (full house for a weekday dinner), so we got tired of trying to keep up conversations at some point and left for a quieter location."
"Right next to the sink, there was a big candle that had three candles lit, next to a bottle of hand sanitiser!!!! Huge fire hazard."
Value
Pros:
"For £5 their take-away lunch deals are difficult to be beaten on value too."
"The set menu for £20 pp is sensational. Sensational quality and sensational value."
"The prices are reasonable."
"Comes with 2 sides so worth the money."
"Amazing value for money and extremely good chicken!"
"The pricing was very reasonable."
"All of that came to £25 each which I feel is excellent value."
Cons:
"It’s really expensive for fried chicken that is good, but not worth the cost."
"Pretty underwhelming... it wasn’t worth the £50 we paid for burgers n chips."
"Price wise it's not good value for money compared to other restaurants in the seven dial's area."
"These lower quality cuts might be branded as 'tastier', but they're still cheaper cuts of meat and that should reflect in the price - which I'm afraid it doesn't."
"For 4 people it came to about £110, which this place ain't worth it for."
"Very expensive for the quality."
"Price per head was high for the quality received."
