Customer Review Summary
Reviewers split sharply, but the most frequent draw is the generous portion size, which one diner calls the best among East Belfast Chinese takeaways and another pairs with tasty food. Praised dishes include the BBQ ribs, prawn rice, duck with cashew nuts, salt and pepper chicken and deep fried prawn, and one reviewer found even the curry chips good. Friendly, helpful staff who cope when it is busy also earn mentions.

“While the food is actually pretty good sometimes when you call for an order the person on the other end of the phone is taking orders whilst on the phone too me that's a bit unprofessional and sometimes it's like 3 minutes later till they then take your own order after serving the person at the Takeaway.”

“I really love this Chinese . There food is lovely , try there BBQ ribs there to die for. The staff in there are always so nice . They do there best when it's busy . I noticed they have 2 phones am sure that's hard on a weekend night . I always come here as the food is fresh and ingredients are tasty”

“Chicken, mushroom in oyster sauce was terrible. Chicken was slivers of pre-boiled fowl, and the sauce tasted like the water it was boiled in. Tried next the special fried rice which apart from the prawns was bland, not enough garlic or any kind of flavour/seasoning. The Char Sui element is no longer roast pork but some kind of tasteless luncheon meat! I gave the place the benefit of the doubt one last time last weekend and tried again with the Special FR. The rice looked and tasted like it had been re-fried into gravel. It went into the bin.”
