China Diner denies closure claims

Pui-Yue Looi, manager, told the Advertiser that far from being in trouble, it was business as usual, and that she had been surprised to find herself quoted in The Sun after she had been called by a reporter on Friday.
She said: "He said he was a reporter doing a round up of local businesses and how they are doing. He didn't say he was from The Sun, I thought he was from a local magazine. We talked for five or six minutes and then he started asking about James Corden.
"The restaurant isn't in trouble, I didn't say it was, it's fully booked tonight for Chinese New Year and it was last night, we've had to turn customers away. My clients know that it's completely untrue, I've had a laugh about the article with a lot of my customers."
Mrs Looi said Mr Corden used to be one of her best customers but that his parents, who are also customers, had told her that he was spending a lot of time in London now because he was so busy.
In November she and Mr Corden and staff from the restaurant appeared together on Gordon Ramsay's Cookalong television show after Mr Corden raved about their food.
