    “The lady behind the desk called ammie is so rude to her delivery drivers and customers she has no respect in how she speaks to people. I would advise to you all not to order and eat from this Chinese as not just her attitude stinks I saw one big rat in the back by the desk area I told her and she started shouting and pointing back at me there loads of rat droppings.”

Customer Review Summary

Most reviewers return for hot, tasty food collected at the counter or delivered, with one describing crisp, juicy chicken and soft noodles finished with curry sauce. Close behind is the staff, called friendly, warm and welcoming, along with drivers described as friendly and on time. Several also mention fast service and reasonable prices, and one says there was no pressure while deciding what to order. A minority report real order problems. One reviewer received spare ribs instead of chicken wings twice, then found chicken on both vegetarian meals, and says the phone was put down on them when they called to complain. Another found the chicken too chewy to cut with a knife, the chicken balls very well done, and no free prawn crackers after a long wait. One more describes a rude, shouting exchange at the desk. In the chewy chicken order, the egg fried rice was the only dish the reviewer ate.
