Customer Review Summary
Honey chilli chicken is the dish reviewers raise most, and opinion on it splits sharply. One regular pairs it with salt and chilli chips and salt and chilli chicken as reasons to keep returning, while another found the chicken more like squid and a third called the honey chilli beef sludge. Negative reviews outnumber positive ones, and the complaints are specific: fried rice that was more like steamed rice, bland curry sauce, noodles and rice with little flavour, food heavy with oil, burnt chicken balls, overcooked chips, and a portion of duck that was mostly fat. A more measured reviewer calls it relatively good value but says the quality matches the price and wanted more sauce. Supporters, some of them customers for years, mention quick service and reasonable prices, and credit the owners and their family along with the counter and delivery staff. One regular says the owners go the extra mile when asked for major changes to dishes.

“Ridiculous £14 wasted burnt chicken balls and over cooked chips also I'm disgusted.”

“This is probably the best Chinese in Belfast. Have been coming here for more than a year and it never disappoints. If you like salt and chilli chips, salt and chilli chicken and honey chilli chicken then this is the place to go! It is also v v reasonably priced and ready very quick. Would recommend.”
