Definitely different shop front to Grand House. Think it’s 17. Is that not just refurbishment down in Castletown? Looked on the construction company's website and indeed is Castletown.

It won't appeal to everyone that restaurant. It's traditional Chinese food, not 'English Chinese'. Loads on the thread going on about prawn toast and such like. They are going to be disappointed. It's also going to be slow. Someone said they didn't have any spare ribs last night. They offered to do it from scratch, but would have to do something with them. Anyway it was going to be an hour for the dish, they reckoned. It was late on to be fair and they wouldn't have had them prepared. Apparently the husband explained in China it's expected you'll order after 10 minutes and food will be half hour or so, which lets you chat. Some of the dishes on the menu are not available yet. Main courses are upwards of £16 up to £38 before rice and only boiled rice available. If you want fried it's a full menu job at circa £10. Boiled is only £2 to be fair. They don't speak very good English and the husband is there doing his best to get everything across. None of the above would be an issue for me. But I can just see those who think they know what Chinese food is being in uproar. Food was reported as good from people I know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably they did it as an initial promotion . In the UK they manage due to larger footfall.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the quote from the lady's husband posted by John, they are aiming to provide authentic Chinese cuisine, so will be worry a look.

No good for me then. My stomach starts preparing for food about an hour before we get to a restaurant. Once there it starts to get agitated if nothing is forthcoming within the first 20mins of arrival. After this it starts to digest me from the inside out. Chat? What's that anyway. If me and SWMBO go out we can only manage about 5 mins of chat before we run out of stuff to chat about. In fact we haven't had much to chat about since about 1992😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is misinformation and should really be removed before rumours start based on the inaccurate information. Your shit should be removed you fucking mental case. It’s hard to see how a total shit for brains can keep themselves amused for so long just posting absolute shit to wind other posters up with. It’s a clear mental disorder.

I don't. I messaged the chap who posted on facebook about the people who refused to pay ( husband of the lady who runs the place ) asking for the menu and he sent it to me on Facebook messenger. This is his Facebook contact https://www.facebook.com/share/JtS6YHXeZc42FRPq/ Edited June 15 by mad_manx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
