Customer Review Summary

Big, filling portions are the main draw, and reviewers name the spicy sauce dish no 95 as the nicest meal one has eaten and the crispy duck as the best another has had. One found the food still hot after a ten minute walk home, and sweet and sour chicken was called nice. Complaints are nearly as common as praise and centre on the chicken. One calls it rubbery, slimy and processed in a chow mein, and another says it was terrible. A Singapore style chow mien had only three prawns and meat that looked tinned, and salt and pepper chips were plain chips with onion and peppers on top. Several say the food has slipped from what it once was. Two describe orders arriving cold, one well past the quoted time after a phone assurance it would be hot, the other missing two items, which left a vegetarian child with nothing to eat.

    “Used to be good Chinese haven't been there for a while been tonight and it was not good at all the chicken was terrible if it was chicken the only thing I enjoyed was chips won't be going back shame it was a good Chinese”

    “On way back from a wedding and needed food, thought we would give this chinese a try. Heard mixed reviews but thought why not. My husband enjoyed his sweet and sour chicken and I did try some, it was nice. Boiled rice, fine, but there aren't many ways to ruin boiled rice. The vegetables with the sweet and sour were very pale and huge chunks. Looked uncooked. My meal was chicken chow mein, a nice staple, chinese meal, can't really ruin it... The chicken they use is awful, at one point I thought I was eating rubbery prawns. No definitely chicken, if you can call it that. Some awful processed meat that was slimy, rubbery and not edible in the least. Really sorry New Dans Castle, no problems with the service, hence the 2 stars overall, but we won't be back and won't be recommending you to anyone either.”
