| - We turned up at 7ish as a party of 8, which was just the right time because it was full half an hour later. We decided to each order a dish and share, and it ended up being way too much food. My two favourites:
- sweet and sour pork, which I was not looking forward to, imagining it would be deep-fried, sweet and sticky à la cantonnaise, but which was succulent and served with a subtle and delicious sauce to complement not drown it;
- the spicy pork intestine and noodle soup, which I would have liked to order but didn't think my party wanted to share, but which one brave soul did take and no-one liked but me - it was so tender, the spiciest dish we ate, and the noodles were the thick, doughy, udon type that didn't get soggy, even when I had them for the following day's lunch.
The one dish that disappointed was the cumin-fried chicken. It was dry and gristly. Otherwise, everything was great.
Yes, the decor is sparse, but you expect that from most Chinese restaurants. The service was extremely prompt and the prices more than reasonable, and I am definitely going back with all my friends.
