Customer Review Summary
Salt and chilli dishes draw the most attention here, with the salt n chilli noodles praised as tasty by one diner and the salted chilli chicken flagged by another as pink inside on two separate attempts. Close behind, the curry earns mixed reactions too, called brilliant as part of a curry special by one reviewer while another describes it as bland alongside hard chips and rice. Several longtime customers return for the chow mein, steak, and mixed grill, noting the mixed grill's lamb chops, and repeatedly mention quick delivery and polite counter staff. A recurring complaint centers on texture, with king prawn noodles described as rubbery and tough, and overcooked meals appearing after a change in kitchen staff, with one reviewer noting the previous cook never disappointed. One diner reported a re-sent order arriving no better the second time.

“The most disgusting Chinese ive ever tasted from. Ordered king prawn noodles, salted chili chips and salted chili boneless ribs. Chips where pale and uncooked noodles looked like a big slob of mop hairs prawns where rubbery and over cooked. My normal chinese was closed today. So read the reviews on this happy choice thought id give it a go. Don't waste your money. £26 pound wasted. Disgusting and flavourless”
