  The restaurant has a wide selection on the menu and portions are large. Prices are very reasonable compared to other restaurants around this area. Location is great with jusy 1 minute walk from Southwark tube station.Food quality is above average.

  For me this is the definition of your average Chinese food. And I’m saying this as someone who really enjoys Chinese food. This is a small eatery that serves authentic Chinese but just like every cuisines here are different levels. For me this is the pub food of Chinese shops, far from high end cuisine but still full of flavour.The dishes are served in plain plates and there is no decoration or any attention to presentation. My friend asked why the menu photos looked bad and after we got our food we realised that they looked exactly like what you get; well cooked tasty food that looks like it was cooked and plated by your mom, not a chef.I did enjoy my lunch though and I’d happily eat there again but when you visit keep in mind that you are going to a neighbourhood eatery not a high end restaurant. darcrose22albionadventures.blogspot.com

  I visited this restaurant last night with a friend on impulse as we fancied a bit of Chinese!As we are new to the area we couldn’t think off of the top of our heads of a Chinese restaurant near by that wasn’t too expensive (student life is hard!). Having searched on the internet for Chinese’ in SE1 we were directed to this restaurant which is located on The Cut, a street under 5 minutes away from us, perfect! It is ideally located for anyone near by or passing by from Waterloo!The service was friendly, approachable and very quick! It was a comfortable atmosphere to sit in. A very small, quaint restaurant that had a very relaxed aura about it. It wasn’t overly cultural or traditional like most Chinese restaurants although it came across as a place you’d visit time and time again when you wanted a chilled meal with friends.The food was not overpriced and was pleasurable. I would visit again, definitely to even just pick up a takeaway for a cosy night in!

  A great Chinese restaurant quite close to Waterloo tube station.I went there once and I absolutely loved it. Me and my friend spent less than 20 for our dishes which was amazing. I had a chicken and sweetcorn soup which was one of the best soups I had.The staff is quite pleasant but the restaurant is really small and you may have to wait for a bit for a table. This is the only downside of the restaurant.Other than that, I recommend it for first makers!

  I’m Chinese and had my doubts about this place, but finally decided to try it after my flatmates’ raves about it got to me. I got some soup dumplings, which were too thick-skinned and rather tasteless, but the broth and the price made up for it. Generous quantities, not so much quality – but that’s what you’d expect from the looks of it anyway. It’s owned by Chinese people but features all sorts if pan-Asian dishes, some of them not really Asian at all. Can’t say much for the authenticity but I guess it could be much worse.

  Apalling. Seriously, I know this place is cheap but the food is disgusting. Slimy and overcooked, none of the produce is fresh and it tastes of nothing. To add insult to injury, the service (when we went) was beyond rude. Dishes slammed down on the table. Avoid.

  Hmmm. The food came out worryingly quick and we were a little distressed about the birds we saw hanging up by the toilets…
