This is the best Chinese food I have ever had. We got the spring onion pancakes, beef spring rolls, chicken and celery dumplings, Biang Biang beef noodles, chicken fried rice and stir fried beef sirloin. All the dishes were amazing, especially the Biang Biang beef noodles!! The hand cut noodles are big and chewy, the chilli oil is full of flavour but not too spicy and the beef is very tender. Everything about the dish was perfect 👌 all the other dishes were wonderful too but my favourite was the Biang Biang beef noodles 🍜♥️. I don’t think I can ever eat another noodle again as it will not ta
Chloe Kim, 4 months agoReally great serve of hand made Diang Diang noodles. I had the lovely tender beef with gorgeous thick bouncy hand made noodles that I came here for. Not disappointed and highly recommend. Very keen to come try more of the menu 😋
Street Food Magic, 4 months agoI love this place! The food is so good, with a nice level of spice. There's a nice selection of menus to try and everything I've had has been great, especially the biang biang noodles and spring onion pancakes. The staff are friendly and efficient, and you can order take aways in person or online. I come back time and time again, and am always thinking about when I can next visit!
