Customer Review Summary
The negatives are specific and recurring. Two reviewers say the sweet and sour sauce tasted of vinegar, one describing it as thick and jelly like. Others report chewy crispy beef, a watery kung po chicken, very salty pork in black bean sauce, and food that seemed microwaved and soggy. One reviewer reports a hair in the prawn crackers, and another found the house special chow mein held one shrimp and three small pieces of chicken, mostly vegetables.

“We heard about this place through a colleague and thought we give it a go. I feel cheated a bit. We ordered sweet and sour chicken balls, kung po chicken, pork in black bean sauce, crispy shredded beef, veg chow main and chicken chow main. We spend over £50 actually closer to £60 with delivery. I must say I was excited to try it and I felt disappointed after. The crispy beef wasn't crispy it was chewy. Flavour wasn't bad it was OK. I say average. I wouldn't buy it again from this place. Kung po chicken was poor. Watery, not very good flavour. I enjoyed cashew nuts more than any other part of the dish. We haven't finished it. Pork in black bean sauce on first bite was OK but it got very sickening. Very very salty. Chow mains were OK but were lacking something... The only bit which I found nice were the chicken balls. Not the sweet and sour sauce tho. It was mega vinegary and so thick it was jelly like! I won't be returning but I would buy the chicken balls again.”
