    Celebrated my daughters birthday, the restaurant and food was great, the staff was just amazing. Only downside would suggest they get more flavourful jasmine tea,

    Cucina cinese raffinata in questo elegante ristorante a Mayfair. L’ambiente è molto curato con veri tocchi di classe nei piatti che decorano il tavolo all’arrivo e nelle decorazioni alle pareti. Il menù è molto interessante e tutto fa voglia. Ottimi i prawns di antipasto e favolosa la crispy duck. C’è posto per assaggiare il maiale in agrodolce, molto buono. Vino al bicchiere con buona scelta di adeguato livello. Il servizio è molto efficiente, veloce e gentile. Solo il sommelier non è un esempio di simpatia. Cena veramente notevole e segnato come uno dei migliori ristoranti di cucina cinese tra i tanti provati.

    Delicious food and great service. Our second visit and I'm sure we'll return at some point. Their wasabi prawns are incredible. Make sure you order them.
