Crispy Duck

A beautifully done Won Ton Soup with four fat wontons of delicious prawn/pork balance, nice stock.

Roast duck and rice microwaved to nuclear hotness was disappointingly mean portion of bony, fatty duck with no chunk easily edible, due to hidden bone in even the two good chunks, and rice still steaming halfway through. Sauce a bit sweet, and scarce. Nearby diner asked for more.

Tea was 80p, and service on top. Which made it close to £10.

It is proving surprisingly hard to replace Tai Ka Lok or Lee Ho Fook for generous, tasty duck and rice in Chinatown.

Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else as you don't quite get what you pay for he. To be fair it is on the budget end of China Town but I did expect my chicken and sweetcorn soup to be hot. Sadly it was Luke warm at best and then had cold, yes cold, bits of chicken in it. We had to ask the waiter to heT it through in the serving counter microwave! He did no problem. - how kind!

Next the crispy dick - the restaurant signature dish - was poor and very much more of a dried up duck leg than the crispy duck I know and love from other quality Chinese restaurants. The rest of the meal was OK.

Go elsewhere.
