Customer Review Summary
Salt and pepper dishes split reviewers most sharply. One calls the king prawns lovely, while others found the salt and pepper chicken shocking and the salt and pepper chips tasteless. Praise elsewhere centers on value and friendliness, with reviewers pointing to great prices, nice servers, a nice bossman, and food described as authentic and very tasty. One diner calls the gum xia the best Chinese food they have eaten in years. The negative reviews are specific and make up a sizable share. Complaints name gristly bbq ribs with little meat in a watery, oily sauce, an overpowering curry sauce, a watery sweet and sour, and tasteless chow mein. One reviewer describes the premises as dirty looking with the kitchen visible, and reports five days of illness after eating, following a similar episode a decade earlier. Another says staff phoned three times to confirm the address. Two reviewers say the meal ended up in the bin.

“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
“Just avoid.. £28 wasted terrible food!! All went in the bin... the dog wouldn't even eat it.. 3 times they phoned for my address... I knew then it was gonna be poor!!! I gave them the benefit & it was shocking!! The salt & pepper chicken is basically a frozen chicken scollop/ pattie, chopped up no chillies, onions salt or pepper!!... no taste or presentation!!! The girl on the phone was lovely & delivery driver was awesome 👍However I will never order from this place again x”
