    Mandarin City is definitely my favourite Chinese. There, I said it. The highest form of commitment,…read morefor everyone to see. And you can hold me to it if you really want. I know I'm indescisive, but my mind ain't being changed about this any time soon. It's such a nice, big, cosy Chinese restaurant. The staff are super friendly, and like to fling a few sweeties or fortune cookies your way (just be sure to catch them). The food is beautiful (I love their black bean sauce) and the atmosphere is really pleasant; comfortable and relaxing. A few years ago a large group of us (happily accomodated by the friendly waiters without a booking) were out for a friend's birthday and having an absolute blast while we were at it. Unbeknown to us, a sudden, unpredicted and very heavy flurry of snow had been settling outside. I have such fond memories of that night...and I do love snow. I'll let you into a wee secret which i learnt while I was at school in the nearby vicinity. The restaurant opens for takeaway orders between 12 noon and 2pm, and for £2 (it may have gone up slightly since I left) you got either noodles, chips or rice with a sauce of your choice. Bargain. I still love Mandarin City. See, I told you so.

    I am not so much of a fan for this restaurant. To be honest I find it a little bit pretentious and…read moreunwelcoming. That being said it is very popular and is always packed whenever I've been there, but I do not really understand why. I think their food is Ok, but just Ok. Every-time I have eaten there my belly is definitely satisfied with the food but I always find that I didn't really enjoy it what I had and I always feel it is a little overpriced when It comes time to pay. I would only really go here if I was with friends who wanted to go. I don't think it really compares on a flavor factor with other chinese restaurants in the area. It is really nice and ambient inside and it can cater very well for large groups with big round tables, but thats about the best of what it has to offer for me.

    I remember going here the night before my wedding for some good food with some friends. It is very…read moredecently priced and the nicest thing on the menu is their 'Chicken satay', although their "Honey chili chicken' is rather great too and one of the best I've tried. If you go to this restaurant, take your time. Make sure you don't rush away and miss out on what is a good little night out. It is small inside with only a few tables, but sometimes that can really add to the atmosphere of a restaurant. It makes me feel like I have done well to get a table there and that I am really going to be looked after well. The staff here are really nice and so attentive, you can really tell they take pride in what they do and it comes across in the food. Great stuff, I'll be back!!!

    The Good Fortune is an old friend of mine and one that I like to visit every couple of months. It…read moreis the epitome of a top venue for a cheap and cheerful night out. All the boxes are ticked: Bring Your Own Booze Reasonably priced food No problem with sitting for 5 hours at the same table talking total drivel Tolerant staff You can send the whole night eating and drink in the Good Fortune for about £20. How thrifty is that, and also very good fun. The last time I went, I promised the husband I would be home 'about 11' as we were only going somewhere local. Fast forward to 4am and I had just made it home, having met a friend of a friend of a friend in The Good Fortune, going back to their house and eating and drinking them out of house and home. See? the Good Fortune certainly lived up to its name. As the food is pretty cheap - around £7 for a main course and £4 for a starter, you shouldn't expect Chinese fine cuisine. What you should expect is good sized portions and good tasty food. They also don't mind if you just keep ordering lots of starters to go with your wine. A great place for couples, families and it's very popular with groups too. Even though the larger groups are usually on a mission to get p%^^&*d, there is always a happy relaxed atmosphere. The Good Fortune is always popular, so don't turn up at the weekend if you haven't booked. Even if you have booked, you may have a bit of a wait in the tiny area at the front. Be prepared for that and take comfort from the fact that they let you open your wine while you are waiting. Another little bit of good fortune!
