This restaurant looks pricey, feels pricey and tastes pricey too. But if you budget carefully, things needn’t cost a fortune.

Decorated in elegant black and white, waiters move swiftly around, taking coats and showing you to your table, and the service is prompt and attentive. Offering diners much more than standard Chinese fare, the menu features some unusual items, including starters such as paper wrapped prawns.

For the main course, you could opt for the sliced chicken with bamboo shoots and water chestnuts. Alternatively, try one of the restaurant’s special set dinner menus, which are priced at £19.50 and £22.50 per person, and include the likes of crispy aromatic duck and sweet and sour king prawns.
