Customer Review Summary
Prawn toast is the most praised item, with two reviewers calling it a winner or the best they have had. Beef in black bean with a kick and hardly any grease follow, and a combo deal fed three adults. One reviewer found the food bland, needing soy sauce at home, and called the salt and pepper prawns frozen. Another says nobody answered the phone about a problem.

“I have ordered from here multiple times and the food here has ALWAYS been delivered super fresh and super fast! I am about to order from them for about the 8th time, probably more! I am VERY fussy and I rate this the BEST takeaway including any other cuisine....THE BEST...in my area! I will find it hard to find another restaurant to top them!”

“Just had a takeaway from here, the prawn toast is the best I've ever had. Just one of the nicest Chinese takeaways I've ever had, not one bit of grease and portions were very reasonable. A bit pricey but you get what you pay for. My only complaint would be that the prawns in the special fried rice were not de-veined so I didn't eat those. Other than that, it was perfect.”

“No flavour it was soo bland I felt the need to put some soy sauce when I got home and had to drench in sauce. I took 2 mouth fulls and just threw the rest in the bin. The salt and pepper prawns are frozen prawns aswell. Your better off buying all the ingredients yourself and learning to cook Chinese, I guarantee it will be better.”

“I enjoyed the conbo deal , B2 made for two and fed three adults. For £28, we got pork balls, spring rolls, prawn crackers, special fried rice, beef sauce, chow mein and hot & sour soup. This is a take out restaurant. It was worth the spend and would visit again. Unfortunately, we were famished and forgot to take pictures of the meal.”
