Customer Review Summary
Reviewer opinion splits sharply between those praising the food and value and those describing poor quality dishes. Several single out the gum xia and the salt and pepper king prawns as standout orders, calling the takeaway good value with great prices and friendly service, with one describing it as the best they'd eaten in years. Another recommends the food as authentic and tasty. Close behind the praise sits a recurring complaint about the bbq ribs, described twice as gristly and flavourless or sitting in a watery, oily brown sauce with barely any meat, alongside a chow mein and salt and pepper chips called tasteless and salt and pepper chicken that went straight in the bin. One reviewer also reports becoming seriously ill after eating here, an account given on two separate visits a decade apart. Despite the split, several reviewers say they would return, one citing the friendly bossman as a reason.

“Not very nice at all. Ribs were gristley with no flavour, curry sauce was overpowering and the sweet and sour sauce was watery and lacking flavour. Prawn crackers were okay. Went in the bin.”
- Chloe Dudley
“Would not recommend bbq ribs were in a watery oily brown sauce and barely any meat. Ordered chow mein and salt&pepper chips which were both tasteless.”
- Rob Robinson
“Place is dirty looking,can see part of kitchen and that's no better,had food from here 10 years ago,girlfriend was seriously ill after 20mins of eating,she left the remains and while I drove her home the dog ate what was left and was also terribly ill,so 10 years on thought I'd try them again,I became uneasy within 30mins of eating and subsequently ill for 5 days,couldn't eat,sleep,hold anything fluid down so just an endless cycle of toilet and sick bucket with hot/cold sweats,not nice at all,,this place should be shut down,seems your supposed to goto A&E if you want to persue a claim for compensation, but whos going to be able to make it to a hospital in that state,,roll up roll up test your tummy today with a meal from this dumpster.”
- Nicky Green
