Absolutely nice environment and food quality is great. To be fair, it’s quite authentic as well.

Update: we brought our own seafood here to have it cooked. Absolute dynamite! Ate a great meal here. Dishes all had authentic Cantonese flavors. They use high quality ingredients and make some really good soups. They are famous for their Pork Tripe and Chicken Pepper Soup which is served on a candle lit stove. Also have some seasonal seafood / fish. Best to go with someone who can order in Chinese. Apparently this place gets really busy with students during the school year.

Small restaurant with a warm and friendly waitresses. So surprised they have goose dishes in UK. They might have Hakka chefs, most of the dishes are Hakka taste. We tried Pork bellies chicken soup and coconut chicken soup, they were very tasty, especially have them in cold and rainy nights.

The most authentic Chinese food I’ve had in the UK thus far! Had the Coconut Chicken Soup (£25) and the Braised Big Intestine Rice Noodle Soup (£10). Both were amazing. The chicken meat in the Coconut Chicken Soup was very tender (even the breast) and the soup was sweet but not heavy (unlike coconut milk-based soups). The Braised Big Intestine Rice Noodle had a thick broth and the big intestines were really flavourful. This restaurant was the highlight of my Manchester Trip and I will be back.

This place is a whole vibe giving guangdong realness... We were met with excellent and warm service from all staff. The braised assortment was excellent, with pork intestines, chicken+pork stomach, pig skin, and chicken feet... All good offal deliciously seasoned. The pepper pig stomach and chicken soup was off the charts much better than four seasons in London which I visit frequently. So glad to have found this place during the short stay in Manchester. Total was around £33, couldn't finish the food between 2. Recommended 10/10

I have been living in Manchester for over 10 years and I can honestly say this is THE BEST and THE MOST AUTHENTIC Cantonese restaurant in town. There are many dishes you can’t find in other restaurants and their soups are amazing! Highly highly recommend! Best dishes: 胡椒豬肚雞湯 椰汁芋頭排骨 羊腩煲 It’s now my go-to for Chinese food!

We stopped here on chance on a busy Saturday evening … really glad we did !! 👍 The food was probably some of the best chinese food we’ve ever tasted - all beautifully cooked & huge portions. We had crabmeat & sweetcorn soup, prawn sesame toast, beef green pepper & black-bean sauce, sweet & sour chicken, egg fried rice & salt & pepper chips - we couldn’t fault anything & will be back when we are next in Manchester city centre 10/10 🌟
