    I actually really enjoyed most of my food, there was 4 of us 1 vegan 3 pescatarians. We ordered 2 bang bang broccoli which I loved, vegan dumplings vegetarian gyoza which were very nice and veg spring rolls. For main course I had the veg Hakka noodles with egg and we ordered the fragrant fried rice, we ordered 3 miso black cod which was awful and mushy I felt quite sick when o went home. My niece ordered the pad thai which again was mush and bland. These were the only 2 dishes that I would never order again the rest of the food was really nice. Also the rum punch was awful but had the amaretto royal which which lovely.

    We had such a lovely waitress, she really catered to our every need - even gave us a lamp to help us get the right pic of our beautiful food! Food and drinks were lovely - special shoutout to the chicken and egg fried rice, magnificent! I'll be back for that alone!
