This is one of our favourite places to eat however it is one for the devoted foodie. Whilst the decor is not to everyone's taste, the food is excellent. Dishes we would recommend are Rainbow Dumplings (green & white are our favourites), House Special Sweet & Spicy Beef, French Beans with Pork and the Northeast style Crispy Pork.
Dumplings of China

This supermarket is only slightly further away than the Sainsbury's and is a bit bigger. If you're doing a bigger shop then it may be worthwhile going a bit further away to the other Tesco which is a lot bigger.
