At last another decent Chinese restaurant in SE London, there are so few. Very good food, clean, fresh, unadulterated with good ingredients. Rapid and effective service. Very good value. Some very good wines available although we did not drink them. Boring and sterile surroundings though, although convenient location wise. Otherwise recommended.

Excellent 50% a la carte deal via Open Table. We had a very enjoyable two courses and will definitely be returning. Interesting fusion between Indian and Chinese, which mostly works. We missed out on the short rib which the table next to us said were outstanding. We’ll be back to try them!
