The food was absolutely amazing. As a meat eater, I can’t believe “vegan + gluten free” food can be so tasty. I wouldn’t say it’s authentic Chinese food but it was super tasty. It was very flavourful, well seasoned, perfectly cooked. We all enjoyed it very much. We would love to come to Bristol again just for the food here and try everything on the menu. The staffs are also very friendly. We’ll definitely recommend this restaurant to all our friends and family.

We visited this restaurant on Tuesday 28th July. In terms of current covid guidance, it was good as a first meal out since lockdown. There is only the option to sit inside, but each group was sat as far away from the others as possible and you have to use sanitiser when entering and leaving the building. There is a book where to write your contact details and the waiter was wearing a face mask. The food was tasty and reasonable. However, we would not recommend eating here if you have a gluten allergy (or perhaps any other allergy). The waiter seemed very knowledgable about what did and did not contain gluten, and explained that items were adaptable. The menu says none of the rice dishes are GF but he said this was wrong. He also explained the pancakes could be made GF but this is not indicated on the menu. We ordered starters mains and sides, all to share, and all to be GF. My girlfriend was poorly because of this meal that evening and the following day. She emailed the restaurant Wednesday evening using the contact form on their website to explain what had happened, hoping that they would be able to check their processes and ensure this doesn’t happen to others in the future. They have not replied to acknowledge the incident and so we hope this review instead warns people to eat here with caution as we don’t know where the error occurred; whether is it the menu, waiter, chefs, or a combination. Sadly despite enjoying the food we would not eat here again as we don’t trust that the food would be safe to eat, and they didn’t handle the situation well (at all) once notified.
