North China

I ordered a Peking Duck at 15:30 to be deliverd at 18:45 but it was half an hour late and didn't arrive till 19:15. That would have been alright if the duck was good but the skin was not only not crispy which Peking Duck should be but it was anaemic looking in colour. I know it was difficult to keep the skin crispy as it was a delivery but it should at least have been a brown roasted colour, instead it was a pale white colour, meaning it had never been brown and crispy before leaving the kitchen. The kitchen had obviously not bothered to even try probably thinking that they could get away with a bad dish as it was a take away. It was hugely disappointing.

I recently visited the North China. The atmosphere was great & we had a wonderful meal. The staff was very attentive & polite with a very much client centred approach to their service. The owner himself came to our table to explain some of the many delicious dishes on offer from authentic Chinese cuisine. I would recommend everyone try the Chicken in Yellow Bean Sauce & for starters I would recommend Mixed Starter & Fried Dumplings. All the food is homemade from fresh ingredients oh! Not to forget the Crispy Duck with Pancakes. Reasonable prices & good wine list.

Food was served within 5 mins of us ordering - never a good sign! Food was cold, dry and incredibly greasy... Really really bad.
