We thought that both the food and service here was wonderful. The food was very light and tasty, and not greasy like a lot of chinese restaurants we've been to. The only thing lacking was the ambience, as it felt a little like a cafe, and the music was a strange mix of european tunes played on chinese instruments, we... More

Its been a couple of years since our last visit. Dining is now downstairs as you enter. More character and ambience than upstairs but you do get the odd draft through the door as people come and go quite a lot. The food was served quickly despite a full restaurant. The taste across all our meals was excellent and each... More

We went in on a Sunday off-spec. No other customers so was a little worried but we needn't have been. Food was good, drink was good and service excellent but not over the top. We has a set menu but changed one of the dishes wihout any hassle.

Went here for my son's birthday party. My children are new to Chinese and I'm glad this was thier first experience. We tried a few different dishes to get a taste of the range on offer and there was a good selection of vegetarian options to choose from (can't vouch for canivore's sorry). Pleased to say that each dish was... More

Having lived in Ross-on-Wye for the last three years we have been here many times for takeaways. The food has always been excellent - some of the best you could hope for from a Chinese restaurant! Not greasy like so many of the other places in Ross and some interesting and unusual options as well as the more well known... More

We've eaten here 1-2 a year for a good few years. Usually upstairs which can be a little cold, but this time they had moved dining to the downstairs area beside take away section - it being a quiet night. It was warmer and had a better atmosphere. However we all thought the food wa rather bland and, well ,... More

We live in Herefordshire and love this restaurant. Fantastic friendly service and great food. We've been many times and always had a good meal and enjoyable time. We'd thoroughly recommend it.

Just been there for first time.. Not a review writer generally but felt I had to warn others not to waste their money!! Hoisen sauce tasted, well, weird. Crispy seaweed tasted burnt. Crispy chilli beef was terrible - dry and tastless. Oh dear!!
