Customer Review Summary
Reviewers praise the food, especially tender beef and vegetables in generous portions, with one saying they could only eat a third. Another calls it authentic. One finds portions small, with only two tempura prawns on a set menu. Delivery draws the most complaints: late orders, one never arriving, and a call where the restaurant said the driver was out of area and the customer should collect.

“This used to be a great chinese but in the last year it has rapidly gone down hill. I waited two hours tonight for my food. When I did call to ask where my delivery was they hadn’t even placed the order and tried to blame it on the delivery driver. This has been a recurrence on several occasions, chasing my order and waiting nearly two hours. But I’m always giving them another chance just in case it gets better. Its hasn’t. It’s such a shame as the food is good. But an even bigger shame is the terrible customer service.”
