    Well I was impressed with my first visit here, but I was initially annoyed at the taste of the very…read morepoor quality 'free' prawn crackers that came with my meal order (£16.30). I tried these crackers in the car as we drove home. They were abysmal. They were rock hard in places and undercooked, which led to an awful starch/oil mouth feel and like biting stone. The cause is simple: the cooking oil wasn't hot enough and a couldn't care less or lazy chef who should know better. If the oil is hot enough these crackers quickly explode in size literally in 2/3 seconds of being put in hot oil so it had to be blindingly obvious that there was a problem. Even if they had been cooked properly they are still the cheapest prawn crackers and still grim. When they are like this I find them useful when I light a fire. So I thought ok if they are happy to feed their paying customers cheap rubbish what have I let myself in for with my duck and pancakes, duck spring rolls and chicken & black bean with chips. I was mostly wrong. The duck & pancakes were excellent as were the duck spring rolls (3) and the chicken black bean. Far better tasting food than the Chinese places I routinely go to. I usually take rice but this one time I got chips. A first for me from a Chinese in way over 20 years. I got chips for someone else so I only ate one and this was enough - factory made and again cooked at a lower temperature than required so they absorb more cooking oil and produce a poor tasting product - a further sign of a chef who couldn't be bothered or lazy or both. The service was prompt and friendly. So just scrapes 4 stars but if they could properly make and cook chips and invest a few extra shillings in decent quality prawn crackers and cook them properly too they could go to five stars.
