I tried this restaurant last night and was very impressed with the quality of food. Having worked in cafes and restaurants I can understand the pressures of trying to get 20-30 orders out at once and not turn away customers. I did find Alison who is a lovely person slightly hard to understand and she was in a hurry, that is due to rushing to the need to answer the phone and help things run smoothly in the kitchen/ packing food etc. The Fried rice was the best I have ever had- very generous portions of meat-prawns chicken and ham and not too oily- just fantastic! the honey chicken was tender and perfectly cooked and the dressing kept separate which is great as you can control your sweetness and caloric intake! We got extra prawn chips as a nice, unordered bonus. My friend had Mongolian lamb and she said the meat was delicious ,tender and lovely flavour. We were told 20 mins and the food was ready absolutely in 20 mins. Good quality food is not just cooked left in microwave and heated in 2 minutes to make it easy. The chef cooked all our food fresh and you can taste the difference. Highly recommend!
