Was good a couple of years back. Now pretty rank. Their mains all taste the same. Their ribs are just lumps of fatty gristle, not actual ribs. When I called them about that they said, yeah sorry, that's what the chef does. New management trying to get it sorted maybe, but half of what we ordered went in the bin. Used to be good. Currently awful. Here's hoping they get it sorted. Photo is of the 'ribs'...

This place slaps, idk why it has bad reviews I always get my Chinese here and the value is great, portions are huge and food is decent. Duck was really good, if a bit fatty. Obv isn’t an upmarket Chinese but they also always throw in something free & prawn crackers. Have ordered from here 3 or 4 times, my dad’s ordered 10+ more and we love it and wouldn’t order from anywhere else. 😇❤️

Horrible restaurant, will never be back. I suggest you give this a miss before making the same mistake I did.

Awful. Waited over an hour and 45 minutes for food to be told we would not get a refund after the food arrived freezing cold and soggy.

This is the worst Chinese restaurant in all of Glasgow. The food is terrible, and the staff have a really bad attitude.
