Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often point to fast, friendly counter service and generous portions for the price. A first-time customer singles out the Special Fried Rice, with prawns, chicken and pork under chicken breast and king prawns in a tangy sauce. Close behind, one reviewer praises gluten free food that always arrives hot, another a large order that came out quickly and accurately, and a couple call it a favourite local. Food quality draws a split verdict, and several longtime customers say it was better in the past. The complaints are specific: rainbow chicken with a rubbery texture, salt and chilli chips with no crunch, barbecue duck so dry it was inedible, dry special noodles served in a wet liquid, and food swimming in oil. One reviewer reports sour vegetables with carrots gone black and says they plan to contact environmental health. Another received a very late order, and one order arrived with two items missing.

“Definitely one of the worst Chinese's I've had, the barbecue duck was so dry even with sauce it was literally unedible, I also ordered dry special noodles and they came in a wet liquid and were absolutely disgusting. Zero flavour and a terrible after test. Never ever go to this place. Literally anything's better.”
