TBR® Inspection Report:

I went several times to dinner and always had a great experience. The food is quality, the service is unusually good for a chinese restaurant, and the place is buzzing. So, the ambience is always good. It's not cheap (quality has a price), but it's worth it!

1st time visiting, lovely family run traditional Chinese restaurant. Beautiful food and great staff. We was looked after by tony and he told us about the restaurants history and recommended a steamed sponge dessert which was delicious. Thank you for a great night.

I had a lovely sit in with my friend, this place is fantastic The food is very delicious It is one of the best services I've seen in my life GARY was very welcoming he was very sweet and nice thanks to him we will be returning.

Anyone who goes here will not be disappointed. Josie is so friendly and helpful. Has regulars and really goes out to make them comfortable. The food is amazing. It's my 1st stop for dinner when I'm in southend. Holiday for 5 days. We ate 3 times. Chicken satay on skewers is to die for. Egg fried rice is fluffy best i have tasted

Lovely restaurant. Food was absolutely gorgeous and the staff were all very friendly. The place had a good atmosphere and was very nicely decorated. Must say the highlight of eating here wasn’t just the great food but also how pleasant the staff were!

Had my evening meal here last night with 2 friends. The food was amazing, huge portions and took our leftovers home for my partner and he said it was the best chinese he had eaten. Staff were attentive without being intrusive, and very friendly. Next time I'm in Southend will be coming back for dinner. Thank you for a lovely evening x
