Many times A favourite Chinese restaurant that I visit when working in the London area. This is outside of the centre and situated between North Acton & Hanger Lane on the A40.

The choice is varied and the food always hot. There are times of the year when you need to book as it gets very busy

The nearest Tube Station is Park Royal although that is about 10 minutes walk away.

On Tuesdays they do a set price gourmet menu for under a tenner!

June 2004 Visited for an evening meal at during the same weekend that we visited Baan Thai in Burton-upon-Trent. If you have no preferences for Indian vs. Thai then I would go to the Thai. If you love your curry then this is for you. The Baan Thai is just round the corner so if you are there for a couple of nights 2 good restaurants in a very short walk of each other & a hotel too (The Queens)
