"I went for lunch at the restaurant on recommendation from one of our group who is Chinese. As two of us are learning Chinese, we wanted to have a taste of authentic Chinese food and also attempt to speak some Mandarin.... The manager was very patient with us : Despite past experiences of a few Chinese takeaways and mediocre Chinese buffets in Leicester, I went with an open mind. The restaurant looks so unassuming from the outside and if you live in the city, you may have as I have passed it several times totally unaware of it 's brilliance. In the restaurant most no, all bar two of us dining there were Chinese, many of whom were students. Do not let that put you off! It was certainly a positive thing as the food was so good. We didn 't feel out of place at all and had good service. The interior is small, maybe 9 or so tables but it didn 't feel cramped even though tables are quite close. The menu has both Chinese and English descriptions so do not fear! Make a note of the numbers beside each dish so you can remember you favourite dishes for next time. It was overwhelming to see so many dishes on the menu and we struggled to decide what to choose as we wanted much more than we could eat! There were some unusual options like frog and offal but hey, it 's good to be open minded and appreciate other cultures. Once we (finally! chose our food, it came out in about 10 or so minutes! Some dishes we had included: *Sliced lamb with green spring onion in a sauce (super succulent and tasty! *Shanghai style pork cutlets (think German schnitzel/Japanese tonkatsu. Basically breaded pork chops cut into strips. This was a ma zing. Crispy, not at all greasy and the sweet dipping sauce?! So so good! *couple of small bowls rice one veg and one mixed meat and seafood one with the juiciest prawns. We shared the food between us. They will give cutlery but have a go at the chopsticks first! I am no expert but we all insisted on trying and it was great fun even though rice was a bit tricky to handle! Tips: *If you ask for water it will be tap water at room temperature so remember to ask for ice if you want it. *rice goes un the small bowl and if you choose plain rice it is refillable! Think of it as a bottomless bowl (ask the staff which one on it is on the menu *scan the QR code on the menu for any discounts available via the WeChat app *don 't get caught out, take enough cash or it 's a trek to the nearest ATM! *be adventurous and try something different on the menu beyond chow mein and special fried rice. *share your dishes with friends it makes it so much more fun *take a copy of the FULL list menu from the counter, not just the short list of British favourites you will be coming back or ordering takeaway from here."

This is easily the best Chinese restaurant in Leicester.It has a wonderful authentic menu and it's a home from home for overseas Chinese students. I trust their stamp of approval.The spicy fish stew with rice, fried dumplings, green veg in garlic and Cumin lamb are my favourites and are absolutely brilliant.

Amazing food and very friendly service! My Chinese companion was impressed and said it was the best she’d had in Leicester. High praise from a very fussy lady! Great prices, too! We had a huge bowl of spicy fish soup, aubergine with minced pork, cold spicy tripe and cucumber and some rice, plus a pot of tea and a couple of cold drinks, which came to £48 and a tip. I can’t wait to come back for a hotpot.

This is probably the best Chinese restaurant in Leicester, according to my Chinese girlfriend. Always full of Chinese students, which is a very good sign. We’ve had a variety of dishes there, and they’re always delicious. If you e never tried, go for a hotpot, but all the food is really good. Service is also very friendly and efficient. One tip: they don’t take credit cards, so bring cash. But they’re not expensive at all £60 70 for two, depending on how much you push the boat out.

Putting aside the modest appearance of this restaurant, it is definitely dishing out amazing Chinese food! I was blown away by how good my meal was. Came in at lunchtime (1 3 pm) and was handed a lunch menu which consists of choosing beef, pork, chicken, mixed vegetables or king prawn, and choosing the sauce from a long list then choosing from the rice and noodles list. You get tea or a soft drink with that too. The prawn was fabulous! Fresh, succulent and the sauce was full of flavour! This must be authentic Chinese cuisine judging from the number of Chinese who were having their lunch as well. And I must say it was excellent! This is definitely going to be where I have my lunch break every...

Continuing our quest to find a replacement for the New Golden Chef (RIP.....forever in our hearts) we tried a takeaway from this place following a menu drop through our letterbox. The takeaway menu is rather spartan e.g. three starters, but this is not necessarily a bad sign. Here’s what we ordered with my comments: 1. Vegetable spring roll. This was the worst item. Tiny little finger sized rolls with no discernible content. A pale comparison to NGC’s four centimetre submarines of assorted morsels....a veritable feast in themselves! 2. Salt and pepper spare ribs. Very meaty and tasty, generous serving for a starter. 3. Prawn with salt and pepper. I would say these were up to the NGC benchmar...

"Went here last night at the tail end of an office Christmas party and we stumbled (quite literally inside having been turned away at a restaurant next door. It was past closing though their OPEN sign was still on. Anyway! Although Oppa was just about to close, they took us in, a group of 6, and stayed open until we finished. When I realized we were in a Korean restaurant, I was so excited; I've been searching for a good Korean restaurant in the midlands. My colleagues were much less so as they had never had Korean food and were unfamiliar with everything on the menu. I ordered for everyone and despite some of them being difficult one colleague kept asking for samosas, aah! the service was faultless. Staff were super attentive and helpful, patient, friendly, good fun, and extremely accommodating. Just perfect! And they stayed open for us quite late without rushing us out, what more can you ask for? Ok, so the food. It was SO so good and I'm already planning to go back. The kimchi was bang on how I like (a big deciding factor for me strongly fermented/pickled and spicy, and fresh. All the bulgogi (marinated meat , dolsot bibimbap (sizzling rice bowl , jjigae (stew/ramen style soups , seafood and extras that were served tasted just like I had hoped they would. Presentation was great everything looked properly appetizing and vegetables and seafood, etc were all clean and fresh. I was too busy stuffing my face and enjoying the moment and company to take photos, but the few photos I've seen on here are true to life. Other things people might be interested in: This restaurant is kitted out to cook Korean BBQ at/in/on your table. It is spacious, with lots of tables and room to move around. Decor is tasteful and minimal. It is clean and indeed I was warned by staff when going upstairs to the ladies' to be careful as the stairs and the toilets had all just been cleaned (and clean they were! . If you're looking for good Korean food, look no further. If you're looking to try Korean food for the first time, this is a great place to start. Go for it! Might see you there, if I can help it :D [I've copied this review over from where I originally posted it because this listing and the one for OPPA in Leicester are the same exact restaurant, FYI]"
