Formerly known as China Garden. (Idk it says so on the sign lol)
So I'm an American visiting the area, but I'm also half Chinese, so I've been raised on Chinese food. Seeing as this place has no reviews, I decided to visit the place and review it.
I ordered at 5:55pm, and got all my food at 6:02. That's pretty fast...
- I also noticed that the waitress didn't write the order down. I don't know if it's because I was by myself or if that's how things work here. I thought I'd note that.
These are the things I ordered:
-Egg fried rice: a little small for £2.60. I had to buy it separately. Made pretty well. Slightly sour but good flavor.
-Chinese tea: Standard pot of loose leaf Oolong tea. It was £2.20, which is nice.
-Water: Got a nice amount of ice!!!! As an American, we love ice. Also it doesn't taste like tap water. Good water. 10/10 water.
-Special Pineapple: Sweet and sour sauce with beef, chicken, shrimp, pork, pineapple and veggies. The sauce is actually much more sour than sweet, which was new for me. Most places make the sauce too sweet. I would have liked it more if it were a little sweeter, especially since the rice was sour too. The meats were all slightly dry, especially the chicken and beef. The shrimp tasted pretty good actually. The sauce helped, but I still noticed the dryness of some of the meat. A moderately sized dish that could have been better for £8.90.
The total bill was £13.70. I don't know if this is considered pricy in the UK, but for an American, this is expensive! This would have been an ok price if this were in dollars, but with the conversion rate, it would be $21.40. For what I got, that is absurd. I was supposed to get 10% off since I ate within 5-6:30pm, but when I mentioned this they said it was already factored in. I know it wasn't factored in or else the final price would have been £12.33, but I'm not gonna argue with them.
Overall good, but not great. 3/5. read more
