Customer Review Summary

Chow mein draws the most loyalty, with the beef chow mein called the best by a customer of ten years and the special chow mein also praised as delicious. Close behind are the curries, where the chicken curry is called the best one reviewer has had and the special curry suited a diner who dislikes heavy spice. Bbq spare ribs and the crispy pancake also earn repeat orders. Many describe a family-run shop with friendly counter staff, fast delivery, and recipes unchanged for over 20 years. Opinion on portions splits. One reviewer says a single order stretches to two meals, while others call them small and thrifty with little meat. Critics also cite overcooked corn chicken that was mostly crispy batter, a sweet and sour sauce they found bland, a veggie curry compared to a budget supermarket version, and curry sauce with chilli flakes alongside noodles that looked burnt. One happy regular suggests ordering the BBQ sauce.

    “I went to this chinese for the first time on Friday and coulndt help my self but to come back, I saw a review and was saying the portions were small. Dont let yourself to be fooled. Portions give you for 2 meals .Family bussiness so No card payments but there is a morrison accross the street with a cash machine so you need to make sure to bring cash or ypur bank card along! Very proffesional and friendly. Lovely food and fresly cooked.NO FROZEN STUFF!(next door if you ask for prawn they will sell you the tempura prawn frozen package !!!For what you see in the pictures I paid £21 something and I have order from other chinese and the bill could be eaaily £40-£50 for the same !!!! Trust me a bargain for a lazy day!!!”

    “Have tried various places since the closure of Chopsticks. This will be my go to place going forward. Have tried the Special Chow Mein and the Special Curry. Both were delicious. I don’t like my curry overly spicy. It was to my liking. I have also tried the bbq spare ribs and the Crispy Pancake. I’ll definitely have theses again too. Highly recommend. Lady behind the counter was very helpful and friendly.”
  • Nicolas Scott
    “Family owned, very friendly, quality food, only Chinese I've liked since getting to ABZ, probably won't go elsewhere unless the quality drops, and then I'll update my review. But for now, best of the 3/4 places I've tried, by FAR.”
