Can't believe I haven't tried this place till today...

It is not fancy interior, average packing - it's an old style Chinese take away I remember from days when I used to go to Chinese run places 2 decades ago so very nostalgic and brings memories back.
And their prawn and mixed vegetables chow main was tasting exactly the same.
Shezwan beef was okay, but for sure better that what I had last time from a more rated place on Coventry Rd ....

Good variety even duck dishes, all halal.
Super fast service, we waited max 10 min.
Good customer service, very polite young man.
Nice complimentary crackers.

It wasn't super amazing but definitely best I tried in Birmingham so far, had authentic taste.

Will definitely come back again soon
Every time portions are getting smaller and smaller, plain and dry noodles with very little sauce, beef chow main was just tomato sauce, spicy to burn your mouth so you won't feel the taste, very disappointed.
This is not something I was expecting from supposed to be an authentic Chinese take away, I won't be surprised if the Chinese is the lady who takes orders (she is very difficult to understand btw) and food is prepared by South Asian staff as it tastes nothing like Chinese food.
