Foo Trong and his family “always meet expectations” at the “traditional high street Chinese” – always one of the more commented-on restaurants in these parts. They have established the place as a local institution over 26 years, serving “delicious, generous and thoughtfully spiced food” using “high quality of ingredients” in a “warm and relaxing ambience”.

This “very popular” Chinese has built a loyal local following over 25 years for its “great food” and “brilliant staff” – most of them from founder Foo Trong’s family, including his wife Michala, brother and head chef Viet Hoa, sister Lucy and parents – all of whom “really care”. “Trongs never disappoints – nothing is too much trouble. We’ve been going for 15 years and just ask them to bring us what they think is good!”

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
