    Very good Chinese place right off of London road. Came here on a Wednesday and it was not too busy…read morebut did have several tables of happy diners enjoying what looked like some excellent hotpot. I got the simmered chicken with yellow bean sauce. While it tasted really excellent, I'm knocking a star off because it was cubed but not de-boned. Some of the romance of date night was reduced by all the fiddly little bits of bone and other non-edible chicken bits. Still, I cannot fault the taste in the least. My boyfriend got a beef and chili dish (I think it was the crispy beef with ginger and chili). I was impressed with the nice seared texture of the thinly sliced beef (lots of places rely on the sauce a bit too much and overlook texture). It had tons of chili and I was worried it would be too much for me, but it was very good. The spiciness had a slow build and I would definitely order it again. As you can see from the photo I uploaded the menu is perfectly comprehensible for English-only speakers. The waitress was either a bit shy or had less English herself but was helpful and friendly so no complaints there. Prices were very reasonable, most dishes coming in under ten pounds.

    Real Chinese food!!! I just came from US to visit my friend here. She bring me to this "Real…read moreChinese"restaurant. I found it's really awesome!!! It is the real Chinese food in my memory! Even compare restaurants in China, it can be ranking the top ones!!!

    I went here with a mate to test the waters, so to speak, in preparation for organising a Christmas…read moremeal for the society I help run. All in all I was pleasantly surprised - not only was the food very good, but the prices are lower than the other all-you-can-eat Chinese restaurant nearby and the food, in my opinion, is nicer. The starters are roughly the same as the starters you get at other such restaurants: present and correct was the sesame prawn toast, the fried chicken wings, the crispy aromatic duck (with pancakes), the spring rolls and the dumplings. The mains, too, are fairly run-of-the-mill for such an establishment, with a range of options covering chicken, prawn, pork and the like and a range of tastes from sweet and sour to curry via black bean sauce. However, the devil is in the detail and they were all brilliantly executed (except for the lemon chicken, by which we were slightly disappointed). I was also impressed that the rice ran out much less often than you'd usually expect and I was also pleasantly startled by the availability of sushi and similar things in the buffet, which went down very well. In addition to all that, there was a teriyaki bar where you could get things cooked to order with your choice of sauce (although I was so full after sampling the extensive buffet I didn't get a chance to try it!). For pudding there were fritters available and a freezer full of tubs of proper ice cream to go with it, unlike some restaurants' desserts which are just sundaes kept ready in a huge freezer or a Mr. Whippy-style ice cream dispenser on the side with some marshmallows. I always appreciate a restaurant doing desserts that aren't just different arrangements of chocolate and icecream! All in all, I had a wonderful evening and I can't wait for round two later in the semester.

    Chinese buffet. Pretty big and more expensive than other buffets in town although the food is…read moreessentially the same so I wouldn't go there unless someone else was paying! It's based downstairs so look carefully so you don't miss the entrance, which sports a (recently beheaded) terracotta warrior. It's clean and light, although the tables are as characteristically crowded as all these places are in Leicester. Wide choice of food, although finding the rice can be a bit challenging for some reason, however, as I say, especially at lunch go to the place on High Street - it's half the price for the same quality and service.
