I remember one evening absolutely pulling my hair out over the bridge in "Beauty Has A Price". I took a break, phoned Lotus Garden. A mere 35 minutes later I was tucking into some kung-pao chicken and something about the brash, sweet stickiness of the sauce inspired the rising crescendo of chords that would finally solve the conundrum of how to reach that final chorus. Without Lotus Garden Cindarella would have been a very different musical.

I asked the lady how large is fried rice serving, she said "a lunch box" so I ordered some starter as well... And this was a mistake.

My friends and I have been going to the Jade Cottage since it opened over 12 years and have always…read morehad an excellent experience as the food is absolutely first class. Always welcoming, with attentive service and a varied menu with both chinese and thai dishes to choose from. I don't think the prices are any more expensive than any other Chinese restaurant - but even if they are, the quality of the food at the Jade would certainly justify it. The peking and thai feast is particularly popular and great value if there's a group of you - three courses including an excellent selection of hors d'oeuvres, crispy duck, and a selection of main courses for under 20 quid a head - and believe me, there's plenty of food for your money! Special occasions such as christmas and new year are brilliant fun at the Jade as Frankie, the owner, will put on the karaoke system (although as everywhere the price goes up a little on those nights). I don't have a bad word to say really - it's the best chinese restaurant i've ever been to, anywhere. And they own the takeaway next door, Kings, which serves the same outstanding grub for you to enjoy at home. Not sure what else I can say, apart from give them a bell and book a table - you won't regret it and you'll return again and again!

It was a leap of faith as there weren't any Yelp reviews to help guide us. I am so happy to report that the service was excellent from the moment I called and placed the order. A friendly voice efficiently took my order, confirmed it and said it would be ready in 15 minutes. Exactly 15 minutes later I arrived to a warm smile and friendly welcome. The food was packaged up in an excellent Asian-inspired cardboard carrier. The aroma from the box was intoxicating for the short journey back home. The food was immaculately prepared and was delicious. We probably ordered too much, but absolutely nothing was left at the end! Fantastic job, Pagoda! Thank you.

The food at the Szechuan Inn is a blend of Chinese and Thai influences…read more I called in with a friend one early Sunday evening and ordered starters of Smoked Chicken, garlic prawns sate and salt and pepper squid. The garlic prawns were changed at the staff's suggestion to some jumbo ones which were skewered and filled with garlic - very tasty. The smoked chicken was very tasty too, but the star amongst the starters was the salt and pepper squid which was the nicest squid I have ever had anywhere not overcooked and rubbery, and with a subtle flavour which was complimented by the spring onions, garlic and chillies in the sauce. This was followed but a quarter of crispy duck, which too was very good. At this point we had had enough, so we didn't have a main course. I have only been once, but if my first visit is anything to go by I will return Great food and a helpful staff are waiting for you at the Szechuan Inn. The food was reasonable value, but if you want a bargain I suggest you try their Sunday fixed-price buffet.
