Customer Review Summary

A recurring complaint involves order mix ups, one customer received spare ribs instead of chicken wings, and another says chicken was mistakenly put in meals meant to be vegetarian, leading to a dispute over charges. Another diner notes missing free prawn crackers on a £19.50 order. Separately, one reviewer reports rude treatment from a staff member toward customers and delivery drivers, and describes seeing a rat and droppings near the counter area, an account not echoed elsewhere in the reviews.

    “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.”
