Customer Review Summary
Honey chicken wings and seafood noodles draw the strongest praise among reviewers, who also single out duck in black bean sauce, chicken balls, and salt and pepper squid as standout orders. Close behind this, a recurring complaint surfaces: several reviewers describe the food as bland or tasteless, pointing to under seasoned rice, dry noodles with little sauce, and a beef chow mein that was "just tomato sauce," with one noting portions seem to shrink on repeat visits. Others report inconsistency within a single order, such as Mandarin chicken wings that came out overly sweet and burnt while the chowmein and grilled lamb pieces at the same meal were praised, and crispy shredded beef that arrived without the promised crispiness. Several reviewers describe the customer service as friendly and authentic in flavour, with one recalling a server who explained the menu, answered questions, and sent the table home with free spring rolls and prawn crackers.

“The food is not good. The best item we got was salt and pepper squid. We spend over £59 and was disappointed”

“Was lovely. The chicken balls are amazing. Only downside was the crispy shredded beef wasn’t crispy”

“The meat was bland and lacked any real flavour. The noodles were tasteless, and the rice was equally disappointing. Everything seemed under-seasoned and lacked the flavour you’d expect from a takeaway. Would not recommend.”

“Came here for the second time yesterday. Food was delicious. Customer service was great. The lovely lady serving us was so kind and answered all of our questions. She explained everything really well. They even gave us free spring rolls and prawn crackers which was a lovely touch. We will definitely be back. We ordered: Honey chicken wings - delicious Prawn pad thai - loved it, authentic flavour Singapore fried rice - great authentic curry flavour Duck in black bean sauce - I was worried that this would be the weakest dish but it was lovely Seafood Noodles - Amazing, I loved the fish cakes and squid in this. The flavours were great. Unfortunately no photos were taken as we were so hungry but we enjoyed everything! We will be back.”
