From texting these guys to book a table, to the actual service and food, this place was top tier. We visited on Lunar New Year weekend and safe to say it was busy. Even though service was slow, it was hardly noticed. The staff managed the influx of customers calmly and expertly. Despite how busy the bar and restaurant was, we felt well looked after. The addition of a fabulous balloon artist and dragon dancers was amazing. The balloon artist went from table to table making the most wonderful Chinese dragons and lucky cats; and the dragon dance came through the restaurant, making the whole experience a real treat. The food was just perfect, every dish was enjoyed. They catered so well for myself, a Coeliac, with the option to filter gluten free on the menu. They also have a fantastic kids menu. All in all it’s an asset to Manchester and the staff are a credit to the business.

It’s a lovely little spot with a lot of potential but it just didn’t quite hit the spot. The food we had was quite dry, my dim sum was chewy and tough, the ramen didn’t have much flavour. It encourages all orders through an app but theres no option to add a note to say someone with say, coeliac, is eating. Fresh orange juice was delightful though. The supermarket was quite disappointing, coming from Leeds and it’s incredible Chinese supermarket’s it just didn’t match up - was more “popular” items and snacks rather than genuine ingredients. Overall overpriced for not very good quality, no interaction from any staff and definitely needs work when it comes to addressing allergens, as crispy chicken was labeled free from gluten but was topped with crispy onions, which aren’t. More of an “instagram spot” than genuine east asian cuisine. Think i’ll stick to the other independent businesses in Manchester!
