Calm decor. Beautiful crockery. Music not too loud. Staff attentive but not obtrusive.
Mains did not arrive together, one came out several minutes ahead but at the same time as our side of fries for the table so we two had something to nibble on while our guest got stuck in.
Guest had the spicy pork wonton soup, which he declared to be delicious. This came off the ‘light’ menu, and the waitress had strongly recommended he order a side in addition, so he had the Asian slaw. Not sure he actually needed it, but it was beautifully presented and went down well.
Mum had the Mongolian lamb stir-fry. This was spicier than she expected, not having had Mongolian anything before, but she likes a bit of spice and happily polished it all off. She thought the vegetables in particular were well-prepared as well as thoughtfully chosen.
Being somewhat out of my comfort zone, I ordered probably the least ‘Asian’ thing on the menu, the steamed salmon fillet with seasonal vegetables. ‘Vegetables’ to me implies more than one vegetable, so I was a little surprised to get just broccoli, but there certainly was plenty of it! I was very impressed that they had disassembled the broccoli into bite-size pieces, then re-arranged it, presumably with a small bowl as a template, to look like an intact head of broccoli again. The salmon was delicious, perfectly cooked and glazed with soy sauce or similar. I’m a very small eater for medical reasons, so I had quite a bit left over to bring home. Had it for breakfast this morning. Still delicious.
The French fries were perfect, crispy, not over-salted, and piping hot straight from the kitchen. Two dipping sauces. Just like you want them to be.
I just had water, but my guests tell me that the coffee and the green tea are excellent. The tea comes in a pot with a little timer so you know how long it’s supposed to be steeped for. I love thoughtful touches like that.
Would happily return.
I absolutely loved my visits to this place new staff Lucy and team are very hospitable.
The handmade dumplings were a delicate and exquisite treat.All modern Asian cuisine so wonderful.It had been 2 years since my last dine in and I absolutely loved it.
Great dumplings and well presented though could have been more generous with serving size. That said - I had room for dessert! The decor is a little dated but great service!
