People have to know what to expect. I've never felt moved to do one of these before. When I was there, in October 2022, they didn't even have menus. As the waiter (though he wasn't really that) who was a very nice man, and the only one there with any English at all, explained, they don't have menus: you have to scan a QR code on a bit of paper on the table, and you don't talk to the waiter to order things, you do it online. All the while, the other customers absorbed in their phones, beeping away, sniffing, guzzling with a kind of grim indifferent resignation. Vile food, probably mischosen, but who would I have asked about it beforehand? There were no humans there. No human interaction. Just codes, and smart phones, and a desperately alienating experience at the end of it; and at the beginning. If you're happy with all that, go along. Otherwise, life is too precious to be dehumanised any more than we already have. If this is the future, let's avoid it like the plague.

The tone of an incessant beeping, ignored and neglected by a disengaged staff member who periodically takes to laying down in a booth welcomes the inevitably unprepared customer. The fire exit sign hang limply from the ceiling it's cables removed and floating in the air, so close to being connected...but not. Between the magic marker graffiti we wait for our food, but the magic is already over, the tables are filthy and the food served is beyond sub par on every level. As we leave we look for the food hygiene rating sticker in the window, they don't have one on display, I assume the council need to make a special one for a minus stars rating. Avoid.

My friend and I weren't brave enough to try the gizzards, tongue or fish heads, but the staff helped us choose flavoursome beef noodles, garlic pak choi and rice dish. We shared them and there was more than enough. Busy little restaurant, but all staff involved and serving. Very short wait for first dish, it comes when it's ready, which was fine for us. Highly recommend this place....delicious!!

I've been here several times in the past 6 months with my friends and family and each time I haven't been let down. The food here really is great. Sure, some dishes are better than others but in general, it's a wonderful experience. The other aspects of the restaurant (staff, decor, music etc) are passable, but definitely aren't the highlight. The prices are decent. It's not too expensive to go here once in a while as a student like me.
