Customer Review Summary
Chicken chow mein is the dish reviewers raise most, with several repeat customers calling it good, one saying they have ordered it over the years and never had a bad one. Close behind, a few praise the owners as pleasant and the food as delicious, and one says the prices compare well with other takeaways nearby. Prawn crackers and the sweet corn soups also get a good word. The complaints centre on inconsistency and wrong orders. One reviewer found the chow mein sparse on mushrooms and chicken, with bland egg fried rice and beef in black bean sauce arriving instead of chicken. Another was handed a curry instead of chow mein and says a refund was refused. Others describe Singapore vermicelli with no seasoning and little meat, salt and chilli prawns that were hard and chewy, and a special omelette containing spam. One diner found the curry far too hot, then lovely the following week, and suggests using the same cook each time. One reviewer was also unhappy that the shop took cash only.

“I have had a lot of takeaways from here over the years and never had a bad one tbh. I mostly order chicken chow mein tbh so I may not be the best judge. The prices are good compared to the Coleshill Chinese takeaways as well.”

“last month the food has been getting hotter and hotter last week we had curry and had to throw it in the bin it was like vindaloo, but this week 01/03/24 it was lovely and the prawn crackers were lovely like the food used to be should use the same cook all the time , mark”
