Short version : very acceptable, we would eat here again. Long version: Returning to Leytonstone after 20 years in Australia, ( supply your own jokes here) we were determined to find a small restaurant serving Crispy Duck with pancakes and hoisin sauce. Devastated by the fact that the Kun Wah in Leyton High Road had closed we stumbled upon this place and despite the lack of reviews and that it was deserted at 6.30 on a Saturday evening, we decided to give it a go. We were met by friendly and helpful service which continued throughout our meal. We were joined by a couple of tables of regulars and pleased to see a steady stream of take away customers.
The menu is quite impressive for such a small place. A reasonable range of drinks on offer. The duck and seaweed arrived very quickly. I've no idea how they did it so quickly and frankly I don't want to know. But it satisfied our craving. It was hot,crispy and nicely presented. We moved on to order a couple of standard chicken dishes, including a hot plate. Again they arrived in minutes and were just what we were looking for. With wafer mints served after the bill this was real nostalgia. I grew up eating in places like this when some of the posh ones had tablecloths (this one doesn't). We really enjoyed our meal and as I said at the beginning, would go back.i read more
