Customer Review Summary
Across the reviews, the egg fried rice and the Szechuan chicken are the most frequently criticized items, repeatedly described as bland, watery, and "microwaved" rather than freshly cooked. Several diners also point to the chow mein, saying its noodles and bean sprouts tasted reheated or mushy, and long waits for food are a recurring complaint, with one reviewer waiting well beyond expectations before the order arrived. One diner describes the person taking orders as rude and blunt, and another recounts being served by children with no adult in sight, calling the experience strange. Against this, a handful of visitors report a much better experience, naming the kung po chicken, king prawn soft noodle, and chicken satay as generously portioned and full of flavor, with quick, polite service. One reviewer separately reports getting diarrhea the day after eating, again describing the food as seeming microwaved.

“I’m really impressed with this takeaway! The food was freshly cooked, full of flavour and still piping hot when I got home. Portions are generous and the price is totally reasonable. Staff were quick, polite and efficient even when it was busy. Will absolutely come back and recommend to everyone!”

“Worst Chinese ever had, away on holiday had chicken chow main, Sweet and sour sauce, curry sauce and prawn crackers. The chicken chow main had shredded chicken, which didn’t even taste like chicken, The noodles and the bean sprouts were smashed up, Like they’ve been warmed up from the previous evening. The curry sauce was tastless and so was the sweet-and-sour sauce. No idea what they made it out of. It just tasted all bland, no flavouring. Had a lot of different Chinese is all over the UK and this is the worst one ever.”

“Rude and blunt service for the woman taking the order, took ages to be cooked 4 of us ordered around 3 dishes each and only one or two was eaten between us all. Was bland overcooked and from the general feeling of the place just very un …”

“Worst Chinese ever, avoid at all costs, when collecting our food we were served by 2 10 yr olds approx which I’m pretty sure is illegal, there was nobody else is sight ie adult, they were also the same 2 answering the phone, very strange entering a shop completely run by kids, the food was horrendous with no flavour and part of our order was incorrect. 100% will NEVER return.”
