Poor service and highly average Chinese food, mostly deep fried. The have a set menu, and the duck was the only thing that seemed edible. Albeit we were a large party, but after 2 hours and we ha not even been asked for main, we called it quits. Think will work if not more than 5 – 10 people in restaurant, anything more and they simply cannot cope. Many places in Cheltenham that I will be back to, this is not one of them …

We ordered for delivery after a lovely long Saturday in the sunshine. We were tired and hungry and decided to avoid cooking.
Our order was placed online via Just-​Eat at 6:40. We were told that it would arrive by 7:40. At 7:45 the order had still not arrived so we placed a quick call to find out where our meal was. The driver was lost, so after a few directions our dinner appeared at the door.
I opened the vegetarian spring rolls and the chips to give to my eager 4 year old, except it was all luke warm. I gave him his food hoping it was the exception, but as we delved into the bag it was clear that our food was all way below the temperature you would normally expect from a takeaway.
Being so hungry, and having waited so long for the delivery, we decided just to get on and eat. The chips were hard and unappetising. The spring rolls were pale and flavourless. The best of the bunch were the satay skewers, but there were so few we felt rather disappointed.
Then came my crispy chilli beef, a favourite of mine. I love the sweetness of the sauce mixed with the gentle chilli and the crunchy chewiness of the beef. If only that had been my meal. The beef was all stuck together in a manner that appeared overcooked. The sauce looked oddly dark, and as I took my first bite I was to discover why. OH. MY. GOODNESS. It was so spicy and hot in taste that my mouth felt on fire. Drinks would not put out the apparent flame on my tongue and I struggled to breathe through the spice, shedding a tear as I removed the beast from my mouth. It was like I’d gorged on a whole naked chilli.
I called to complain as I was unsatisfied with our entire experience and in particular felt my food was inedible. They were kind enough to offer to send out a ¼ aromatic duck for me to make sure I wouldn’t go hungry. I was promised I would have it within half an hour, but it has been 40 minutes and still no sign of it.
Too long? Didn’t read?
1. Cold food.
2. Very slow delivery.
3. Disgusting chilli beef.
4. Still waiting on replacement.
We shan’t be ordering again.

Excellent chinese food. Large range of vegetarian alternative dishes as well as meat dishes, food is cooked well and well presented. Staff are very friendly as is the owner :-) If you are hungry go for the all you can eat because it is defo worth the money! They also do free delivery over £13.00.

The best chinease we have tried in Cheltenham so far! We take the family here on a regular basis as we know that it has been consistantly brilliant! We usually order from the all-​you-​can-​eat menu because it is excellent value and the quality of the food is immensely good! They also have a good selection of vegetarian food that is delicious!

Lovely chineseDo a great all you can eat buffet served to the table ask for cutlery if you can’t manage the chopsticks. The Buffet is Cheaper Sunday to Thursday than at the weekend.
The Duck pancakes are great The House white is one of the best house wines i tasted. Fortune cookies always arrive with your bill. And if you eat late and the owner is there you often get a free drink too.
Also does a take away service though never tried this
