It's cheap and cheerful. Can't go wrong with the food here, not the tastiest Chinese in this area but still very good, they will serve you with a complimentary bowl of soup and spring roll, which is nice.

This is the first time I've seen a place in the UK where people throw drinks or spoons at people, or get angry when taking orders. I was very dissatisfied, but the food... was really delicious. I ate 7.5 pounds of tomato and egg rice because they said it would only be paid in cash... wow, that was crazy. It's the #1 packaged food I've eaten recently. There was a lot of rice in the soup and this was... so delicious.

Excellent establishment. Everything freshly cooked in house, portions are exceptional value, absolutely filling. Staff eager to help although very limited English. Menu is extensive but easy to order from. Downside is cash only. Would very much recommend the chicken curry with egg fried rice, and equally the kung po chicken with egg fried rice. Chopsticks and a spoon provided with every meal.

Been here multiple times now. Student friendly prices. Exceptional service , I always receive my order in under ten minutes! Today I waited two minutes for my customised order of rice to be cooked from scratch ! Fantastic place for students. It allows me to treat myself to a take out ❣️ 100% would recommend. Excellent !

I have been craving noodles for a long time and oh my ! This dish surly is satisfying. The portion is generous and tastes great. Cash only unless you have Chinese paying app.

Disappointed by the customer service. Mind you it's never been good but never this bad either. They speak little English which is fine cuz you can just point at the menu but they treat non-Chinese customers differently. No basic customer service skills, no communication. The only times I've felt welcome here was when I would come with my Hong Kong friend. The girl who took my order looked almost bothered by my presence there but smiled at Chinese customers. Rude tone too. Ordered kung pao chicken and the A1 option. When I got home I realized she didn't give me the chicken dish but another beef one. I don't know how she misunderstood since there's no beef dish next to it on the menu. They used to put a tea egg in the rice but not anymore which is disappointing. They sometimes give free soup with your order. Except that today I had to ask for it even tho the takeaway order before mine got free soup and so did everyone at the tables inside. The food itself is good, tho the A1 option was just decent, the "sauce" is just red oil that sinks to the bottom and doesn't give much flavor so I wouldn't recommend it. Good if you want to try more "authentic" Chinese food but you'll probably be treated differently if you're not Chinese.

friendly and homely ambience, especially appreciated on a cool rainy evening : ) the spicy lamb is exceedingly delicious and fried with passion, definitely shall return for it. the hotness could be adjusted, I think different degrees of hotness would certainly add to the subtle nuances of this famed dish of the northern provinces. lovely and reasonably priced 💞

I originally rated this 5 stars based on my first visit, but I've been here 5+ times now & it's a 3 at best. The mixed seafood in oyster sauce (£8.90) was great but the beef in black bean sauce and chicken teriyaki are BAD. The beef tasted soapy and the chicken teriyaki was in bland brown gravy. The portion sizes are good but the food is bland, go to cafe 55 or Woodstock cafe instead. The most seasoned bit is defo the free spring rolls on the side.

After reading the positive feedback I'm amazed! Mr yummy? More like oh my gosh my tummy! Yukky! The chicken kung po wasn't too bad, no better than a microwave meal tho! The beef brisket with green peppers/rice! GHASTLY we had to leave it! cold, covered in lard, just horrible. Its in my top 5 least favourite eateries in Birmingham as of now! PROS,? The rice was pretty decent and the establishment was clean and it was cheap.

Great food. Little bit pricey for what it is but portion size was decent. Food was piping hot and tasty. Worth a visit. However only take cash. Ordered a chicken curry and sweet and sour chicken, both of which were tasty and seasoned well. If you’re in the area and looking for a tasty takeaway, visit here!

Guy at the counter was on his phone and totally ignored me for about 4 minutes and I had to interrupt his conversation to actually serve me. Then he didn't listen to my order. SuiZen's down the road wasn't open which is much better and I was hungry. What an ignorant guy. And he didn't give me the free soup either!

Simple comfort food done right for a reasonable price . No complaints; won’t get sick of the place. Unfortunately given the staff doesn’t speak English , it may be an issue catering to non chinese speakers. I hope they improve this aspect of their service.

Good selection of food, reasonably priced. Quality of food is excellent. Only reason for four stars is that they accept cash only which is far from ideal in the current climate

Great little authentic cafe, big portions for £7-9, several veggie options, hand gel at the counter, friendly service although limited English when we went but easy enough to communicate our order. Of note, it's cash only. Great for a late lunch/early dinner. Would definitely return or order delivery.

A Chinese Restaurant for Chinese people. Order by numbers and pointing at the menu and don't expect a warm welcome. Felt they would have preferred it if I took the food away with me but it was all good. I had steamed pork with green beans (no. 20) which was unexpectedly tender and tasty, and the portion was enormous. Disappointed not to have had the chance to get back there this week. Not your average takeaway - prices slightly high but eat-in dinners are good value.

Excellent warm service, it offers free starter soup. I've tried almost all the Chinese food restaurants in Birmingham and This is the most normal Chinese food I've had in Birmingham. Don't be cheated by those so called Chinese food which are greasy and full of sugar and starch, they are not Chinese food.

Here is the translation: "I am very disappointed with the service I received. The attention was poor, and the minimum expectations were clearly not met. The staff showed no interest in solving my problems, and the overall quality of the service left much to be desired. I would not recommend this place to anyone looking for professional treatment and a positive experience. It’s a shame that the service was so disappointing."

I started eating a bit of it. Food was too good!!! Arrived piping hot and earlier than expected I received within 20 minutes. I never leave reviews but this restaurant has exceeded expectations so why not. Portion size is more than enough my stomach is bloated as I ate the whole thing. Will be buying again
