Great quality Chinese food and friendly staff. We went on a Tuesday night so only a few people eating in the restaurant but they had a steady stream of takeaway orders. But we had a highly enjoyable meal with top notch food. The Seafood hors d'oeuvre was delicious.

Absolutely delicious food last night. Could not fault it. Duck was delicious, Crispy Beef was so beautifully cooked. Everything tasted so fresh and yum! Cocktails were so tasty. Our server was very nice and so attentive. My friend had a lovely birthday meal and really enjoyed herself, so Thanks Crown City!

"Fingernail in the food, tried to cover it up saying it was lemongrass!" AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLAGUE. It was an awful experience. As soon as we turned up, before even being fully seated the waitress was adamant we needed to give her the drinks order. When we said what we wanted they didn't have the drink available, and then the other options weren't available either. The service was strange, they made you feel obliged to eat whatever you were given before being able to move on the the "next round" of courses. One of the meals had a broken fingernail in it, as in from more than likely the chefs dirty fingernail. I tried to be polite and say I've got a nail in my food discretely, yer they came back and insulted my intelligence by saying it was lemongrass. I didn't realise you get lemongrass in the shape and size of a dirty fingernail! It's outrageous and they didn't care, they didn't offer a refund or any compensation. This place needs to be shut down, it's literally disgusting.

Really disappointing meal on 16/10/22. We were a party of 9 (5 adults, 4 children) as a birthday celebration. One of the children was feeling very unwell after the second course so that family of 4 had to leave. I explained this to the staff but was told they would still be charged full price, even though they didn't have the main course. I had to ask to order our main courses as no one came to take our order. They then added a service charge of £22 to my bill which I asked them to remove, which they did but were clearly not happy about it. The restaurant was not full by any means so they were not losing any money on our table being booked but the other family leaving. We arrived at 5.30pm and left at 7.45pm as the service was so slow. We won't be returning.

Not impressed with food quality and we found a NAIL in our food today! Disgusting.

PS what an insult post such a commitment below my review by a restaurant after delivering such a weird service food and BLACK nail in one of our main courses which ruined our appetite and we didn't eat non on main courses! They obviously saw it and said to my partner it was lemongrass 😆 🤣 😂

They think people are IDIOTS, never tasted a good meal so we don't know the quality and being so DEFENSIVE in such a disgusting way says it all!!!! My partner will be posting his review too INCLUDING picture of BLACK nail in YOUR/OUR food 🤮🤮🤮🤮😬😬😬😬

Had a takeaway order (not the first!) and once again enjoyed excellent food. Always tasty, plus they now use thicker-than-normal plastic containers so no spillage (plus we use them to store freezer food later!)
Strongly recommended 👍🏻

No compassion.
Seriously!
My partner broke down outside this restaurant on his way home from work this evening and desperate for a wee and the lady wouldn't let him use the loo.
He's returned home after 3 hours. He explained to the lady what had happened and that the aa were on there way but would be atleast an hour. Some restaurants just don't care and won't lend a hand to someone in need. Such a shame. We will no longer be customers to this restaurant.

Disappointing experience and waste of money!
I asked extra mushrooms and less chicken in my soup so I received NO chicken and few massive chunks of cheap mushrooms and tasteless soup, no seasoning or salt. Ribs were pretty dry. Very little sauce at the bottom which was cheap out of packet, very runny/watery and didn't taste good at all. Chilli Shredded beef was disappointing and made with similar sauce like ribs which tasted weird. Vegetable rice as you see had very little of few tiny pieces of veg and mainly rice only, also very bland lacking seasoning. Guy at the desk checked receipt few times before handing my order and managed to still mess it up - they didn't give me my drink regardless me actually paying extra. Banana fritters were soggy and no syrup whatsoever.

Food was bad, service bad, I asked for cutlery and I only got forks so I had nothing for soup.

Very disappointing and complete waste of money, NEVER again. 👎👎🤙
