I've eaten here without problems before but I am never going back again, they were so rude. I asked if a table for four was available and before I could explain that two of my party hadn't arrived yet I was unceremoniously whisked to a table. Both the waitress and the front desk lady tried twice to take away my friends plates and chopsticks (and even the chairs!) even though I explained that my friends would be arriving in 20 minutes (which they did), and both these people made a point to come over and rudely advise me that it was a busy night, obnoxiously estimating that my friends would actually be 1 to 2 hours late. If I hadn't have already ordered appetizers and drinks I would have left right then! A second waitress was nice enough but the original one and the huffy front desk lady continued to glare at us throughout the evening. The staff were narky throughout, mean to to me when they couldn't understand that I wanted an orange juice, angry when we sent back the sparkling water (my friend asked for still), and horrible when we took a few minutes to split the bill between four people. Not only will I not go there again, I am telling everyone I know not to go there. I can get better food elsewhere and without being yelled at, thank you very much.

Our meal was completely ruined by the manager and a waiter loudly abusing a young women for over 20 minutes because her card had been frozen. She called the company and was given a number for the restaurant to call to get approval for the payment. The waiter refused to call the number even as the girl, who was near tears, kept asking what they wanted her to do. The waiter just continued to be unbelievably demeaning and obstructionist. I finally couldn't stand to listen to him abuse her anymore and paid the small bill myself. Later when our waiter was asked to identify the dumplings in our starter we discovered they had not served the listed dumplings. They substituted cheaper items.

My husband and I come into town every year on our anniversary and go to the theatre and dinner. We have found the dim sums in Gerrards corner are the best ever and now return every anniversary.

Was recommended by friends about this place and was quite sceptical since I find the standard of Chinese food in Chinatown to be very ordinary, greasy etc.. What a surprise! The food is excellent and tasty, consistently good quality with a good selection of wine and champagne.
Brilliant staff - I once lost my ring in this restaurant and the staff bent over backwards to help me. They eventually found it the next day amongst a whole load of dirty table cloths! Great atmosphere and dining experience. Probably one of the best in Chinatown.

Unpretentous and good value authentic chinese food. The staff are friendly and helpful even when it was busy. Generally one of the better restaurants in Chinatown. Open until 12 midnight, we once managed to get in a quick meal upon arriving at 11.45pm! Excellent and highly recommended.

What a delightful experience we had in this chinese restaurant in Chinatown. After theatre we spotted this airy and nicely decorated restaurant buzzing with a mixture of hearty diners. The atmosphere is great, the staff very friendly providing excellent recommendations for our meal. They stock a wide range of drinks from chinese teas to great champagnes. A la carte menu offers a wide variety of classic and speciality dishes including vegetarian options. We had Laurent Perrier Rose with their top class set dinner which included a whole fresh lobster delciously stirfried. The bill was very reasonable indeed. Overall highly recommended for very satisfying authentic chinese dining experience
