"We have never been here before but the service was amazing. He kept checking on us and seeing how everything was. They gave us time to eat our entrees before the mains came out which was lovely they were friendly people and the food was fantastic definitely coming back here again next time I come to the area."

"We used to go to this restaurant a lot when it was owned by its previous owner, Sophie. Having been out of the area for a number of years, we hadn't been back for a long time, until tonight.
The food was somewhat different to what we remember, which one would expect given the change in ownership and in the kitchen.
However, the dishes that we ordered were generally quite tasty, particularly the Sang Choi Bow. The service was friendly.
We went on a Saturday night. There were several tables still available, but there were a reasonable number of customers dining in and for takeaway."
