    The service was prompt and we received our drinks quickly the beer was cold which was the highlight of the meal, the wine was cold so things started well, we ordered a starter which was tempura prawns very heavily battered more batter than prawns, the main courses were terrible sweet & sour chicken and chicken pad thai that was in my top 3 worst meals of all time. And we had the pleasure of paying EU93 for an awful meal, never again

    The dining here was really rushed - from ordering with a very curt lady to the food being brought out. Prawn crackers were brought with the mains and mains were brought before we had even poured our drinks. The food must have been pre prepared to come so quickly. The food was edible but really small portions. Being so rushed really put us off and I would not return.

    3/10

    Stilted awkward service. Food totally abysmal. Duck was ok but pancakes cold and soggy. Served with old wilted spring onions. Dim sum selection stodgy over cooked and unappetising on a wilted leaf. We were disappointed but kind of ok until the mains arrived. We ordered beef in black pepper sauc at 16.50. Exactly 4 pieces of beef roast (not steak) in a tasteless sauce arrived. Even the char siu pork was smothered in a foul sauce. When asked how it was we told them the mains were inedible. We received the bill unadjusted. I would avoid at all costs. Horrible

    Decent food, Chilli crispy beef was superb, service a bit slow bit of a wait from starter to main course but still worth a visit

    We visit tenerife nearly every year and always pay the slow boat a visit. But disappointed this time round, although the food was fantastic the service really let it down. The waiter who took our order was more interested in the ladies low cut top at the table beside us that he was not laitnwinf to our order which we had repeat numerous times. Starters came and were missing the sauces, main courses came and our starters had not been cleared. Was a bit of a disaster. Not sure if we will return on our next visit. Such a shame the service let down the quality of this food.

    The food was delicious we would go back however it might just be about timing as they were rushed off their feet therefore the service was quite delayed.
