Review


Eat here, it's fantastic. We ate here the two final nights of our stay. We would have eaten here more if we had found it earlier. It's open 6pm to midnight.

The two people I spoke to had very good English and were very knowledgeable about gluten-free food and preparation.

Many menu items can be adapted for gluten-free. They have a separate gluten-free fryer. They make batter from gluten-free potato starch. They are careful to prevent cross-contamination. Just ask if the main menu item can be adapted for gluten-free.

Two of us are coeliac, and two 'normal'. We all enjoyed the meals.

We ate the following GF adapted items:

Pan Fried Chicken with sweet and sour sauce, Hong Kong Style (meaning the chicken is deep fried first in a GF batter made from potato starch), item 40 on the menu. Chicken a little hard (maybe overcooked) but still the best I have had in five years since going GF.

Egg fried rice.

Chicken fried noodles, and King Prawn fried noodles - adapted using rice-noodles. Item 128 and 127.

Pan Fried Chicken with Pineapple. Absolutely fantastic. So tasty and tender. Item 42.

Only one item we asked for could not be adapted to gluten-free due to the type of pot it is made in, being item 39 Deep fried chicken with almonds in a lemon or orange sauce.

Service was excellent.
