I didn't enjoy this restaurant at all. The food was OK but the price was ridiculous, very expensive. It was really cold inside the restaurant but they didn't turn the heating on and the waitress, although very kind, couldn't speak proper English. This was the worst restaurant I went to in Liverpool.

I came here a few times a couple of years ago and always really enjoyed it, the staff were friendly and attentive, the food was reasonably priced with good portion sizes and everything was clean.
Last night was a different story.
While reading this please bear in mind I'm not a food snob in the slightest, we were debating nandos/chinese and ended up going for a chinese.
Four of us arrived and the waiter said 'go over there in the corner' and handed us one menu. The table cloth was dirty. Eventually one of the female staff members we recognised from coming a few years ago apologetically came over with more menus and took our drinks orders.
Then the waiter came for us to order our food. We decided to go for a banquet for 4 and change some of the mains, the waiter laughed and said it would cost £2.50 extra. He didn't make it clear if this was per head of per meal that we changed, so we had to keep asking him til he made it clear that it was £2.50 extra per head! The banquet was already £17.80 per head and the difference between the meals we were trying to swap was clearly not £2.50 a head, so the waiter said he would go and check. He came back and confirmed this. We said it didn't make sense, so he offered to go and get his manager, we agreed...then he just stood there!
We decided to get a banquet for three and my boyfriend ordered his own main. Now in this and most other Chinese restaurants, when I order a banquet I expect the starters to be a portion of each, and that was our logic so that my boyfriend could share the starters with us but not have to pay £10 extra to change meals around! Starters turned up...3 bowls of soup (we expected that, fair enough) but it wasn't very hot. Then they put out 4 plates (one dirty which we changed) 3 ribs, 3 quarters of prawn toast, 3 satay sticks and 3 spring rolls...and a bit of seaweed in the middle. I was not happy in the slightest, but the staff didn't come over once to check if the food was ok, only came to ask if we wanted more drinks when they were clearing the table. I'm not one that likes to complain so I didn't know what to do/say, ended up not saying anything.
Then the duck came. Two legs and 12 pancakes...it probably equated to a quarter duck.
The mains came, in fairness they were really tasty and on dishes the size you'd get at a normal banquet, but the rice was a bit cold. My boyfriend had ordered his own chicken fried rice and this wasn't very hot but he said it was ok.
Then we had the usual fruit at the end.
We had to wait ages to find a member of staff we could ask for the bill, then had to get up and go to the till ourselves to pay.
I left feeling full but ripped off. My boyfriend left feeling hungry and ripped off. We didn't feel like we had been treated as valued customers or even customers, we were practically ignored.
The portions might have needed be down sized in the recession but it stops people coming back for more.
Used to love it here so really disappointed. Won't recommend. Won't be visiting again. No wonder it was empty in there.

I booked a private room for my Hen Night on the 17th January 2009. The room was great and it was set up to be a great night. Unfortunately the service was awful as the restaurant was woefully understaffed. The waiter we had did his best - but because he had so many other rooms to look after, we were always waiting for drinks or food. We made the best of it - but I wouldn't recommend it unless they solve the staffing problem.

I have visited this restaurant regularly over the last few years and have always found the food, service and pricing to be of an excellent standard. This is a restaurant that I would certainly recommend to visitors to the city - it is a place where they can enjoy delicious Chinese food in the heart of Liverpool's China Town.

I've been here a few times and always enjoyed my meal. They do lovely chicken wing or spare rib starters, the capital sauce is delicious!

Plenty to choose from on menu although I opted for the 3 course banquet for people arriving before 9pm for £8.50 and duck & pancakes for an extra £2. Large portions and by the time the main meal arrived I was stuffed however they do let you take away any meals. Overall, an enjoyable meal at a reasonable price.
