I think I set my expectations too high for the Szechuan food here. Although the £10.90 drink, rice & dish is a good deal, the dish did not live up to its 2chilli designation on the menu in neither heat nor flavour. Seemed toned-down, more like a Cantonese version. Very nice waitress kindly brought me some chilli oil to spark it up. The cumin lamb was better, but not enough cumin nor Mala for me. Perhaps it’s just the style they have here. Would probably come back and ask for full-on flavour.
It was very quiet, which can be good or bad depending on your preference. It meant we were served quickly! The staff explained the concept to my friends well enough. The food was great, we got a mild and a medium spice pot. Both were very flavorful. Generous amount of each selected component. Great value for money
Pretty unassuming Chinese restaurant near Reading station with a menu of Sichuan dishes, Cantonese dishes, Fish and Hot Pot. This time a friend and I had the hot pot and were pleasantly surprised, the soup was pretty good and we got a choice of 8 items from the menu to boil up. At about £22 per person, it’s relatively expensive but for a proper Chinese food fix I’d definitely recommend it. The waitress was friendly and there was a wide range of drinks as well as ingredients for a hot pot dipping sauce.
I’d like to return and try out the Sichuan dishes.
