Reviews Overview
Most Liked
The roast meats, especially the triple roast, rank high on many diners' lists. The juicy, expertly seasoned cuts come out warm and generously portioned—often noted as better than many shops even in Birmingham.
Patrons rave about the authentic Hong Kong-style French toast, legendary for its fluffy texture and sweet syrupy glaze, leaving everyone craving more.
The bubble tea stands out too, making it a must-try. The chewy pearls perfectly complement the variety of flavors, from classic milk tea to fruity blends, fitting right into the Instagrammable food trend.
Many enjoy the casual atmosphere, finding it ideal for group dining or a quick solo meal. The quick service is often highlighted, allowing for a satisfying meal without long waits, making it feasible for a lunch break or casual dinner.
Most Disliked
Some diners mention a slight wait during peak hours, primarily on weekends when groups flock to enjoy the vibrant atmosphere. It may require a little patience but definitely worth the wait.
A few reviews hinted at occasional inconsistency in portion sizes during takeout orders. While unlikely, it’s something to keep an eye on, especially if expecting the same amount as dine-in service. It suggests perhaps greater communication with customers can enhance their experience further.
Parking can be another challenge, especially during busy times when street spots fill quickly. Planning ahead and arriving a bit early is advisable to ensure a hassle-free visit.

My family have been returning to this restaurant for its roast meat; tasty, high quality, not greasy, and still warm when we get it. Also very good value! Underrated - we prefer to get it here over the shops in Birmingham now.

Great food with so many dishes. If you come here for the first time it will take a while to decide what to order because there are so many things to choose from. Cheap and great food portions too. Have been returning many times.

Great service here, portions of food are big and the food was quite delicious. Their milk tea was quite good, although the bubbles were not the best that I've tasted in the UK. They also do delivery services, which could be quite convenient I imagine on days you might not want to leave the house. They also accept cards, which is quite a pleasant surprise as Chinese restaurants usually don't accept cards.

Authentic Hong Kong style milk tea and delicious flavours. The Malaysian style chicken wings were packed with flavours. The noodles in the satay beef fillet lo mein were bouncy and had a perfect balance of savory and nuttiness of the satay sauce.
