Customer Review Summary
Reviewers mostly come back to the fried rice and curry orders, with chicken fried rice, special fried rice and chicken curry named most often, and praise centers on food described as good, first class and warm when delivered. Delivery is called fast and quick by several, and the staff on the phone and the drivers are described as friendly and polite. Some note the low price, and one regular says it has been a late-night dinner stop after everything else was shut, with another saying they have ordered for years. Close behind is a split on consistency. One reviewer says the food is good only sometimes, and another describes a chicken curry, king prawn fried rice and curry sauce order as a disgrace that all went in the bin. A separate reviewer waited from the first order to a call back nearly an hour later, was told it would be made only then, and switched to another takeaway. Even so, several describe food arriving warm and a polite driver at the door.

“Ordered food at 2004hrs and was told it would be 20 mins called back at 2041Hrs to see what was going on and was told 10 more minutes. Called back at 2057Hrs and was told that they are sorry and they’d make it now!!!! Child and Wife and I too sleepy to be pissing about and accepting any more lies!!!! Shocking customer service, diabolical communication (if I’m running late I call) they just seem to think you’ll wait in all night for them to arrive. No thanks. Ocean chinese will be getting our business from here on in.”
