Spectacular! 100% will return soon!
The staff was extremely attentive and friendly. Our waiter Will in particular left us with a very positive impression, with his recommendations on the menu.
The restaurant still takes covid precautions, which we really appreciated. Masks, temperature check, and sanitizer all were in hand.
The ambience is just incredible, extreme attention to detail. It was a very relaxing atmosphere and immersive experience.
Last but not least, the food was divine: we had the pork dumplings, the vegetarian spring rolls, the kung-po chicken and sizzling beef, with jasmine

Amazing decor and amazing food! The tempura prawns in particular were spectacular. A crispy, light batter with a very "meaty" prawn to boot! The beef sizzler plate coupled with garlic tenderstem broccoli and egg fried rice was my choice, and it did not disappoint! My wife had the same but with th chicken sizzler plate. I definitely preferred the beef.
One note is that we did feel a little rushed in there, but the silver lining was service was fast and efficient. Not rude but maybe not the friendliest either.
I would 100% recommend going and will be back myself.

Fabulous night out! Not inexpensive but for a special occasion I would definitely recommend this place. Great venue, good atmosphere with fabulous food and attentive service! The cocktails are yummy, the desserts fabby, dabby and the Chinese food to my taste. This restaurant deserves all the 5* reviews it gets!

Back a 3rd time for an early Sunday dinner. Busy but great buzz and excellent service.
We had the signature Peking duck, Sizzling scallops and spicy Griddled Green Beans with minced beef (tip: ask for the Chinese/Sichuan menu vs the English). Lovely experience again and test restaurant in Southampton at the moment (IMHO).

Somewhat belatedly…. A weekend or so back. Special evening as we took our daughter out for a 21st Birthday 🎂 treat. What can you say, wonderful iconic building, fantastic service and very tasty high quality food. Okay, it’s pricey but worth it and has a ‘London sophistication feel’ to it (no disrespect to Southampton) Attracts the ‘young and beautiful’ trendy people.

The most beautiful Chinese restaurant. Staff were attentive from start to finish. The vegetarian dim sum was exquisite. Food was both delicious and well presented. As were the drinks! I ordered a rum and apple juice and they gave it a nice touch. We would definitely return if in the area. Toilets were very clean.

Exceptional fine dining service and food.
Ordered good quality cocktails which hit the spot.
Service is super.
The sweet and sour chicken, Calamari and the soft shell crab were of the highest quality.
It is expensive but you you do get what you pay for and the establishment has a great product with a loyal clientel.
Yes, will visit when I am in the area again.
