We came for the ice cream and decided to have dinner too--might as well, right? Everything was delicious and super flavorful (we were missing having spices in our food after a month of English/Irish food during our travels). We sat upstairs where it was quiet and pleasant. Our waitress was super sweet and attentive, even though it required her to run up the stairs all evening. The decor was lovely. The complimentary rice puffs were a nice touch. We definitely finished off with ice cream. My boyfriend got fried ice cream, but it wasn't at all like the kind he is used to in the US. It was still good, he was just confused, haha. Our bellies were full and happy afterward. We would absolutely come back if we find ourselves on Isle of Man again. The only thing I didn't like was the bottomless tea. I got so excited that I could have plenty of tea with my meal, but it was basically hot water with a few leaves thrown in. I couldn't taste the tea at all as it was, and of course, when they refill it, it was just more water added to the same old flavorless tea leaves, and I have no idea how anyone could fall that tea. Disappointed in that regard. Otherwise, all was great!

At the end of the meal, our waiter even offered to book us a taxi, without prompting. Overall, a great meal to round off an otherwise average week.

The dining room is in a hotel and has a beautiful view, probably its strongest point. The food was standard Chinese, not bad but nothing special. Salt and pepper spare ribs were tasty and not deep fried (I hate the ones that bread the spare ribs). Salt and pepper tofu was nice, crispy, not greasy and had some flavor. Duck and pork with BBQ sauce was not special, sauce was too sweet and meat was fatty. Overall nothing to complain about but no rush to go back.

From the exterior, I thought it was a takeaway, possibly one with a few tables. Once I stepped inside I realized it was a nice restaurant, multiple rooms, warmly furnished and quite comfortable. Additionally, the service was excellent, attentive, pleasant and very communicative. The meal was also very good (not London quality but the best Chinese food I have had on the island). I started with the spare ribs with salt and chili powder. The server (possibly owner) asked how spicy and I asked for medium, was surprised it was actually medium (usually they err on the side of mild). A very substantial portion of cut up ribs and nicely served on a hot plate. For my main, I had duck Chinese style, which was duck breast in a sweetish sauce with onions. A lot of duck and not too greasy. I found the sauce a little too sweet but otherwise excellent. I did find it a little pricey for Chinese food, though, but not enough to take away a star. Overall, quite a good experience.

We ordered lots of food! - Roast Duck w/ Ginger & Spring Onion - Chicken w/ Kung Pao Sauce - Beef Cantonese Style - Roast Pork Chow Mein - Mixed Vegetable Chow Mein - Special Yeung Chow Fried Rice - Mixed Vegetable Curry The average price for each entree was between 5 to 6 quid and these did not come with any white or brown rice. In other words, even after ordering all of this food, the 4 of us were still a bit hungry. The food was tasty and it was delivered fairly quickly, but I had stayed in the Canary Wharf area of London and managed to find better deals on the quantity/quality of food at these prices.

I have often walked past and taken no notice of what looked to be an ordinary cafe. I have to say I…read moream very pleased that I finally ventured in to give it a try. The decor is basic like any typical British cafe until you see Chinese writing hanging from the entrance to the kitchen. (see photo) I was immediately drawn to the Oriental Corner part of the menu which offered a meat choice with noodle in Soup. If you have ever had Vietnamese Pho then this would be like a Chinese version. (not as intricate as a proper Pho or with the proper noodles) I ordered the meat dumpling with noodle in soup and my friend ordered the roast pork version. We also ordered a portion of Chinese pan fried meat dumplings (this was pork and shrimp, known as Jiao Zi if you want to get technical) When the noodle / meat soup came out it looked very appetizing, was light in flavor (they give you soy and homemade chili oil to deepen the flavor to your liking) I tried both dishes and have to say the roast pork was tender and light and the dumpling was excellent. I can't believe this was only £4.50 a portion! Yes, £4.50! A crappy sandwich from a shop would cost £3.50. This is much better! The side of pan fried meat dumplings were very good although I wish the dipping sauce was a bit more interesting maybe some garlic, chili sesame seed oil or something. The staff in here are also really nice. Very friendly, warm & smile a lot. Gives the place a good vibe. I will definitely be coming back to try some of the other oriental dishes. (They do other typical cafe / British dishes as well and I may give those a try at some point also as I imagine they will have the same high quality and great prices.) I suggest you give this place a go. I for one will certainly be coming back!
