Very nice and accomodating staff who dealt admirably with a ridiculously rude and angry customer. The food is delicious.
When you think of a Chinese restaurant THIS IS IT!!!!!!!!
Wether you watch a Hollywood film and you see what a Chinese restaurant looks like there or you want an authentic well more western idea of authentic Chinese restaurant it ticks every single box not forgetting to mention the food was delicious.
Just seems like a very well run family business with all children's pictures who have gone to university behind the bar making it feel even more of a reason to support your local business as it is supporting a hard working family business like this.
I ordered the sweet and sour chicken with boiled rice and seaweed with my wife ordering the duck, they were all better than one another couldn't recommend it more.
I think what I was trying to get across is maybe it just helped me relive a childhood memory as that's how i would have wanted to imagine where I was taken lol.
ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! 10/10 ! We ordered and collected a takeaway (set menu) such a great value for 2 and every meal was delicious! Great duck pancakes! Starters were delicious especially the thick prawn toast. Wonderful service from the lovely lady in there- looking forward to visiting after lockdown ends. The meal was ready in 15/20 minutes, very hot and fresh. Recommend HIGHLY!! See you soon :) x
First time I tried this place and I'm glad I did! I ordered beef with mushrooms, special fried rice and egg rolls. The beef was so good and the most tender (no fat) I've ever had from a Chinese. The egg rolls were the large kind and these always tend to be a little oily but it was really good. The special fried rice and prawn crackers were both really fresh and perfectly cooked. This will definitely be my Chinese of choice now!
The food was much better than your average local Chinese.
Baked crab with Ginger and spring onion was a delight and pork in spicy salt was also very enjoyable and prepared with quality meat.
We also had vegetable fried rice, which was very tasty and went well with the pork, as well as crispy aromatic lamb, which was unfortunately rather on the dry side and not as flavoursome as we expected.
The lady who delivered the food was very polite and smiling and knew the dishes well. She might have cooked them herself, or at least knows well how it's done.
We must have tried by now all or almost all local Chinese take-away restaurants and this one is by far the best.
Very pleasant experience and much recommended.
Lovely family owned Chinese restaurant and take away. The restaurant itself is quite small and quaintly old school. Food is excellent and usually very fast service. Offers a range of set meals for 2/4/6 people which are good value for money. Staff are always lovely and welcoming. Smashing little place.
I cant believe I've only just tried this place, food was great and very reasonable prices. Service was excellent and the restaurant decor couldnt have been more appropriate for a chinese restaurant, and to make our evening even better both my mother and I got a rose each as we visited on valentines day. Thank you so much again and I will surely be back.
Was. A lovely meal just a bit disappointed with the kung Po King prawns. They didn't need to be butterflied out... The sesame prawn toasts crispy duck and Singapore noodles were fantastic.. Lovely friendly service as well
Really good Chinese, great staff. Eating in is a nice quaint change. Delivery is admittedly hit and miss (wrong order twice, on two separate occasions). Always get the food eventually and always great, especially the satay skewers. Better than many other local places.
Went there for the first time today and ordered Singapore Vermicelli for take out; very good.
Good service.
Now I can say that Muswell Hill has a Chinese take away.
First time trying this place and very pleasantly surprised. The kung po prawns were really nice and not to battered, the sweet and sour pork was excellent and the chicken satay and chicken black bean were also really good. It did take a bit longer than 25 mins when I went to collect but they were very busy. Offered me a free bottle of drinks and had some free prawn crackers. Tried a lot of Chinese takeaway restaurants in the area and this is definitely my new favourite. They just need to give more realistic time frames on the phone, but to be honest that is nearly always the case with ordering food. No real complaints.
Honest Old School Eatery
I would not say New is my first impression of the place, but I definitely walked out feeling Happy! Not just from the authentic flavours at very reasonable prices, but from the wealth of welcoming aura and genuineness attached to this establishment. I can't voice enough praise on the lovely manageress who is here every single time I've visited and she never forgets to greet you with a smile worthy of the queen. Guess there is where the swan comes in! Honestly, I can't recommend this local place enough. Definitely a dying breed.
There are not many Chinese restaurants in Muswell Hill so this was a very pleasant find. Quaint eatery next to a busy pub and chatting to the manager it seems they have been around for a long time. As others have mentioned decor might need a bit of an uplift but I suppose it adds to the rustic feel of an old fashioned family run restaurant. Shining light of this establishment is definitely the food- reasonably priced and tasty and delivered with a smile. I will be back!
I love this place. I have been coming here since I was a small child... So about 40 years. Still the same family and the same lovely values..... Also the brilliant food. Thank you ❣️
Don't be fooled by this restuarants exterior. It is definitely not swanky but the food is amazing. The restaurant decor is old fashioned and basic. If you've not tried it you must, and if you've tried it you will definitely be a regular. The food is so good and the staff are great, very friendly and helpful. Would recommend trying this restaurant, you will not be disappointed.
