Customer Review Summary
The set deal on three main dishes is what most reviewers return for, with diners naming salt and pepper ribs, crispy duck with plenty of pancakes, BBQ spare ribs, chicken in Szechuan sauce and chicken curry. One calls the satay chicken delicious. Food is described as cooked fresh to order and arriving piping hot, with consistent flavours and generous portions, and one reviewer with allergies says they could eat everything. Delivery is the recurring complaint. Several say it is always late, one in Belthorn Village threatens to go elsewhere, and another says the sauce and contents had tipped into the bottom of the bag, so the order was refused. One reviewer felt a chips, chicken, rice and curry sauce order was small for the cost, and another says prices have gone up twice in a year. Walk-in reviewers fare better. One late-night visitor got chips with thick gravy, and the woman serving put on a fresh batch just before closing.

“Best take away by far. Food portions & quality fantastic.”

“Wow! I often go to Mr Lau's and a restaurant in Essex. A bill over £200. I am blown away. Amazing. Salt and pepper ribs 10* Crispy duck loads of it, fresh veg and loads of pancakes 10*, satay chicken a first really delicious. Chicken curry the best ever. The main thing for me is the bean sprouts! Just heaven. I have allergies and I have been able to eat it all. Arrived hot. Lovely delivery chap. Easy to order and a great deal on 3 main dishes for I think less than £18.00. The best Chinese takeaway ever and far surpasses any Chinese meal in a restaurant and a bargain. Thank you to my friend for recommending. It's a 10/10 for me if not more.”

“Your food is lovely. We have ordered many times but your delivery schedule to Belthorn Village is bad. Sort this out or I will go elsewhere”
- Jacqueline Patman
“Nipped in for chips and gravy needed a late night snack. This didn’t disappoint! The lady put fresh chips on me ten mins before closing time. The portion was excellent, the gravy was nice and thick just how I like it. It was tasty and I’ll definitely go back when I have another hunger pang.”
