“Friendly staff and quick service , sadly food let us down with most things covered in a gravy sauce - not stated and not everyone likes gravy! Lemon chicken was mushy and meat wasn’t like meat at all in places . A real shame won’t be using again sadly.”

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out friendly, polite staff, including the lady on the desk, and several call the food authentic and the best Chinese takeaway in Banbury. A chicken chow mein with curry sauce and crackers is named as a hearty meal. One reviewer notes quick service and another fair prices, though a third finds the cost a bit high. The criticism is substantial and centres on consistency. Two long-time customers, of 20 and 50 years, say a recent order fell short, citing burnt, reheated spare ribs, hard sweet and sour king prawns, and food so salty it could not be eaten. Another found the lemon chicken mushy, with most dishes covered in a gravy sauce that was not mentioned when ordering. One reviewer who ordered lamb chops describes a tiny portion that was about half bone, roughly two teaspoons of meat.
