If you're looking for a place to dine in Milton Keynes, our striking, purpose-built Chinese restaurant on the edge of Lodge Lake may be just the place. It was completed in 1991 and welcomed its first customers in March that year.
Floor-to-ceiling glass frames the amazing, ever-changing views of the lake and the landscape around it, and the building's unique design pays homage to historic Chinese architecture.

The food
Combining traditional recipes with a modern approach, expect all the classics on our extensive menu, some lesser-known dishes for good measure, and a little culinary exploration if that's what tickles your taste buds. From stellar set banquets and combos to a tantalising à la carte, you're truly spoilt for choice: a scenic lunch, or a full-on feast come the evening.
We're also known for our cocktails, each one crafted to complement a picture-perfect dinner date or get-together with friends, from our house Cherry Blossom to classic minty mojitos. There's a fully stocked bar and exclusive wines at very reasonable prices from a London-based purveyor of fine wines.
Our founder
Mr Kam Tong
Mr Kam Tong loved his beef brisket clay pot. He would bring out a big pot for supper and his team would tuck in after a long shift. It reminded him of his mother's cooking when he was growing up in Hong Kong, where his large family would huddle around the table in their bike shop and home, and every mouthful of meat was a treat.
In his memory, we donate £1 to the MK Food Bank for every Beef Brisket Clay Pot sold in our restaurant.
The building
The building was inspired by the summer palaces in Beijing. A local architect from Towcester was commissioned to design a unique oriental-style building for Milton Keynes. The main structure is built from wooden vertical and horizontal beams that you can see inside and out, and the pagoda-style roof has a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and trusses.
So the next time you're craving Chinese food in the Milton Keynes area, be sure to pay us a visit.
