“Been eating here for years but sadly tonight will be my last as the food was terrible on the last 2 occasions and the Chinese woman behind the counter was nothing but ignorant when my wife had to go back as they had forgot a part of our meal then she tried to make out that my wife was lying”

“Nice staff, great food. Not over priced. Love getting food from there”
- Nick (myselfandmypeople)
“This place used to be 100% reliable for many years, but we’ve had a couple of much lower quality meals of late. We’ve learned that it was taken over in 2021 which presumably accounts for this. Shame.”
