Customer Review Summary
Salt and chilli chicken draws the most praise, with reviewers calling it great across mild, medium or hot and one naming it the best on the road. Close behind, the special chow mein gets singled out as probably the best they've had, and the noodles and chicken curry also earn mentions as favorites. Several describe the food as freshly cooked, and one reviewer notes the shop is clean with a view into the kitchen. Staff are repeatedly called friendly, with one reviewer crediting a particular server by name for the experience. Complaints are limited but real: one reviewer calls a salt and chilli chicken order inedible, and another reports the shop failed to deliver despite being close by. Most reviewers, though, say they'll return, with several calling it the best takeaway they've found in Belfast.
