    You will never go wrong eating here. If you wish to have great food, great service, great atmosphere. In my opinion, there's nothing better in the downtown area. As you can tell I personally love it here. Been eating here for 20 years ...... Being brutally honest, I'd say my only mistake is to think other places have their level of expertise.

    This was our second visit since moving up to Rhode Island. Well worth the visit. The service was outstanding as well as the food. We went for several appetizers including the garlic ribs (never had before), soup dumplings, spring rolls and pork fried rice. All were outstanding with particular praise for the ribs....so interestingly great! We ended our meal with half a peking duck. Plenty of pancakes and ample cucumber and scallion. We washed it down with a bottle of champagne and cannot say enough about this establishment. We would highly recommend for a formal, casual, family meal. Having lived in the UK for over 40 years this place has great food!!! It is hard to beat London Chinese but this will not disappoint!

    Christmas Eve dinner. Festive, lively atmosphere without being too loud for easy conversation. Service was excellent, beginning with the accommodation of a late addition guest. Staff was there for every need and question yet never made us feel rushed—even though our meal went past closing. I expected great food and was not disappointed. Oysters were particularly good and French-pressed coffee always adds a great finishing touch. My teenagers had a great time and have a new appreciation for real food. Highly recommend.
