    We arrived early and had a drink by the bar which was lovely. Our reservation was at 7pm however I had to remind them we were there at 7:15 and eventually sat down at 7:25pm. Our starters came quite quickly however they had forgotten about us re our main course. When it came the lamb pieces were tough and cold. Very disappointing.

    Well located, central restaurant serving a good selection of Asian food. We chose to visit as we needed to eat early due to attending an event nearby and because of their lunchtime menu that you can choose from up to 5pm. It is a good way to visit a very good restaurant at a very reasonable cost - £19.95 a head for two courses. The food was superb, service excellent, decor to give you something to talk about, and one most people would enjoy.

    My husband Gordon and I booked a table for 7 of us with our family and our friend , to celebrate Gordon’ s retirement, and also our kids and partners new jobs . This was our second time at the restaurant, and every time we have had fantastic food and service. Most of our table chose the Festive sharing menu which was good value for 3 course meal , and they all said our stunning the food was. Our Australian friend Sharon and I chose the Clementine and duck salad as a starter , then miso cod , teriyaki Salmon , chilli noodles , spiced greens as a side. The salad was huge , really one would have been enough for us to share !. The miso cod was exceptional and the salmon lovely. My husband, Our kids and their partners said the same about their food, just stunning flavours. Service for drinks and food was efficient and well organised and the lady that looked after us was lovely. We will definitely be back .

    Lovely food & service. I was there on 20 November. We left cash on the table for a tip then realised we had already been charged 13 1:2% already on the bill. Today I was there again and I asked to take the optional charge off as I was leaving a cash tip again and she had to get permission to take it off the bill. Had to stand & wait a few minutes as I had gone up to the till. I think diners should be made aware of the extra 13 1/2% not read the small print at the end of the menu. I don’t live locally coming from Llanelli so it was a special treat. Apart from that everything was very nice
