"Had a meal Friday evening with my daughter and her dad. The food was excellent and the sort of prices I would expect. For the minute we walked in until we left the staff were very friendly and gave great service. Would be more than happy to recommend this place. Thank you all of you."
Melanie Gilmore
"The service was absolutely amazing; we were served very quickly, and one kind waiter answered some of our questions about the food immediately!
The food was amazing as well; we had three different types of chicken, but all of them were delicious. The sides are plenty big to share.
I liked the cosy atmosphere and the decor inside."

"Great Chinese resturant in Cockermouth. Food was excellent and staff very friendly. My only complaint is they only open at 5 o clock Wednesday to Sunday. Would love to go for a lunch during the week or the weekends. Otherwise well worth a visit. 👍 😋😋"
