I had braised pork belly with rice, absolutely delicious! The pork was tender and flavorful, with just the right balance of sweetness and savory taste. The sauce soaked perfectly into the rice, making every bite satisfying. Definitely a dish I’d recommend and come back for!

Lovely staff. Paid £43 for a starter, 2 soft drinks and 2 x very generous hot pots with a side of thick Noodles. Very reasonable for the quality of the meal. Abolute gem of a place.

Ha Jiang Mian was served hot. Noodles can be firmer but it’s ok. Minced Pork mixed with chinese dry mushroom was also good. Beef hotpot taste is light not heavy in clean soup.

Stumbled open this little restaurant by accident taking shelter from the rain and wow wow was it good. I'm a vegan so I got the szechuan vegetable hot pot and it was incredible, very flavoursome and szechuan flavour profile was on point! Definitely will be coming back again. Price wise it was great value!

I went here for lunch for my birthday and it was excellent. I had the spicy fish cooking pot and the fish was the best I’ve had in a long time! I’m fairly picky when it comes to fish so I don’t order it a lot but I’m so pleased I took the risk because this was melt in your mouth white fish. There was no ‘fishy’ taste it was very fresh and tasty. I also loved the stuffed animals they had and the fresh flowers. I definitely recommend eating here I was very impressed!

Fabulous! Splendid! That’s exactly the taste I have had back in China!! Feel super satisfactory and warm especially having a steaming cooking pot in the wet and cold windy day for me. The ribs are cooked literally very authentic with Chinese pickled cabbages. This is my favourite dish, Pork ribs and pickled Cabbage. Hope this restaurant can get better and better to make this Chinese delicacy spreading to more people😋

Authentic home food. £15 for a BIG pot of soup and noodles that I can’t even finish it by myself Spicy fish soup with potato noodles are HIGHLY recommended. Rice goes just as well too! Cozy environment for a big warm meal especially in cold weather. Highly recommend!

My partner and I tried two kinds of cooking pots and they tasted good. We had no idea if they were Beijing style food, but we would like to go there again.

It was much busier than we had expected on a mid week lunch time and we were under the impression it was a quick diner. In fact this was a beautifully decorated restaurant with a very slow vibe, which we needed at the time. As I waited to be seated I ordered but sadly there was no mapo tofu on the day, so we’ll be returning for that. When we had both arrived we sat and our spring rolls were brought out. These were delicious and crispy, very good value too for the price as you got quite a few even though they were small. Our bowls were huge when they arrived, we spent our time slowly going through them, replenishing, hydrating. The bustling and busy restaurant allowed you to have a private conversation and allowed you to engage with the good vibes. I learnt my lesson (my girlfriend took the least spicy one citing it being my mistake) upon getting the spiciest Sichuan option but we will certainly come back again.

Thanks for sharing your experience here. Glad you enjoyed the food and time, just make sure you choose "mild" spicy level for Sichuan Hotpot next time, haha.. 😊

As an Asian, I was really happy to find an authentic Chinese restaurant like this in Bristol city. Food was yummy and stayed true to what proper Chinese food should taste like. Pricing is very reasonable as well given the generous portion and taste. Card is accepted although there is a 5% discount for using cash. Highly recommended, just make sure to get there before peak meal times as restaurant gets packed very quickly due to limited seating.

Authentic Beijing hot, mouth-tingling spiced dishes - the menu is focused and comprises a list of "best of" favourites from China. Not to downplay the rest of the menu, our favourite is the spicy fish rice -- inviting and fragrant, with Beijing's characteristic mouth-numbing chilli (which fortunately, the amount of chillies CAN be adjusted for the less adventurous). All dishes come with chinese sprouts and neutral egg-based soup to counter balance the fiery main dish. Portions are touted as generous, which is accurate; however, I would argue that the dishes are overblown in it's size. Perhaps the proprietors should offer smaller options. Overall, the cuisine is authentic, engaging and intriguing for the palette. Worth at least a visit - chances are that you may be tempted to come back.

The broth is delicious and natural, served with enoki mushrooms, Chinese cabbage/pal choi, noodles and of course the lamb. Really delicious, and generous portions. Staff very friendly and happy to cater to allergies (were very careful with my nut allergy).
