“The best Chinese ever! I haven’t lived in Castle Bromwich for a while but no other Chinese compares to this. The customer service, the food quality/taste, the freshness. Even after a 45min drive back home it was still hot and fresh. The red curry is a must, along with crispy chilli beef and salt and chilli chicken. The egg fried rice is delicious even on its own! Nothing will ever beat a Golden Bird. 11 out of 10!”

“I ordered egg fried rice and curry sauce along with a house special curry and plain rice. The food was lovely and the service was great. Would definitely use again.”

“Ordered the beef curry and special house chow mein. The beef curry was ok meat content was good and not overloaded with onions which was a welcome change. Curry sauce was nice 👌🏻 Not over happy with the special house chow main. Which mainly contained chicken (which isn’t stated so is misleading) if it’s supposed to be mixed meat incl prawn then it should be more mixed n more evenly mixed. Not around 70% chicken as that’s a bit of con and trying to save money which it shouldn’t be about.!”

“Beef curry, chips and prawn crackers collected last night as pretty standard order had many times but this time it resulted in severe stomach ache and all day going to the bathroom. The beef had a pale look and smelt off and the crackers didn’t taste like they usually do but then I was given the order in less than 5 mins totally off putting and I was asked to return a sample a day later instead of trusting what I’ve said, when I said no previous issues. Disappointing so will not use again.”

Customer Review Summary
Red curry is the draw reviewers raise most, described by one as addictive and unlike any other Chinese curry, with crispy chilli beef and salt and chilli chicken named close behind. Others praise the special fried rice, served with a separate pot of chicken, pork, beef and prawns in a tasty sauce, and the egg fried rice, which one calls delicious even on its own. Long-time customers describe generous portions, flavoursome and fresh food, and a takeaway that stayed hot after a long drive home. A run of recent complaints cuts against that. One reviewer received special curry with uncooked meat, re-fried chicken balls that were slimy inside, hard chips and clumpy rice. Another found the special house chow mein mostly chicken, with little prawn or mixed meat. Others report burnt, dry bbq chicken wings and a disputed delivery charge, and a couple say quality has slipped lately. One who asked for a mild curry got a watery plate and was offered no refund, only an apology and a note made.
