  “Used to be amazing years ago. When it was an authentic Chinese restaurant. It's no longer Chinese owned. One thing we all know is Chinese food should be cooked by Chinese people. You wouldn't ask the painter to rewire your house. One thing the Chinese do amazingly is cook pork, so much so one of the few chinese words we all know is char sui. Not a single mention of pork or char sui on the menu. Make of it what you will. I won't be eating from here again”

  “If I could give zero stars I would have. Avoid at all costs. The food took 1 hour 30 minutes to be delivered, it was cold and had no taste (for the bits we dared to try). I have requested a refund as we luckily ordered through a third party website, when I called the takeaway the man was not bothered and said if I want a refund to request it on the app I ordered through. He didn’t sound surprised at the complaint and didn’t even apologise. Will never order again”

  “Worst chinese meal ive ever paid for...where do i begin. Prawn crackers stale. Chips ok but nothing special Beef and mushroom. Again standard..not much taste. Salt and pepper chicken with boiled. Rice..funny taste but no seasoning and certainly didnt taste like salt and pepper Salt and pepper crispy chicken again no taste. Seasoning was in the bottom of box as if someone had just thrown it in. Honey chilli chicken and beef...plain. no seasoning and no sauce but nothing honey and chilli about it apart from the name.. Egg fried rice..hardly any egg whats so ever and rice clumped together as if it had been cooked far to early and left to stand.. Best thing about this meal was my dogs eating it.. Ill never go back and suggest no one does...dont know how this is open and called a chinese takeaway. Ps if you go to pick it up from the actual place its a dive.”

  “Extremely disappointed with our Christmas Eve order. We waited two and a half hours for delivery, which we fully expected given the time of year and appreciate how hard staff must have been working. After an hour and a half we called to check on our order and were told there were still 50 orders ahead of us — again, understandable on Christmas Eve. However, when the food finally arrived, the quality was extremely poor. The beef was chewy and rubbery, the curry was watery, the chicken was hard, and the food was barely warm. After such a long wait, this was incredibly disappointing. If I wanted cold, poorly prepared food, I could have made it myself. We understand how busy and stressful the holidays are, but if a business cannot maintain a basic standard of quality, it should not be accepting orders. We’ve ordered from here several times in the past, but unfortunately this experience has completely put us off. Absolutely gutted and would not recommend.”

  “Ordered in Blyth Eats app. Took half an hour longer to arrive than advised on the app. Food arrived luke warm. Average at best. S&S Hong Kong style was filled with undercooked onions. Chips were greasy, spring rolls the same. Chow mein was mushy. Curry sauce was decent enough. Won’t use again to be honest.”

  “AVOID! Absolutely awful, and I didn’t even take a bite! Ordered from an app waited 20mins over time but you know sometimes that happens! However food came, I opened it up and absolutely put it straight back. We ordered the crispy shredded duck pancakes you can see by the photos that is not crispy shredded duck, what’s with the carrots? Wrinkly dried and old spring onion. The honey chill beef, beef looks anaemic didn’t even look anything like beef could not attempt to touch that, just looked like trouble, clumps of green pepper not cut and lumps of seeds attached. The rice had clumps in that hadn’t been mixed to make fried rice & I’ll give them their dues, myself and delivery man after trying to find him in the estate both forgot payment, so when they rang to come back for it I said to take the food instead because opening it up it wasn’t edible looking and we were not comfortable eating it. The manager phoned back and said he’d like to understand to improve service, totally appreciated that, explained and he just tried to tell me that they don’t use green peppers though we have a photo of one in the dish. He assured me the beef was cooked and explained their cooking process attempting to argue with myself the customer that the beef did not look cooked or edible and I won’t be risking eating it, for him to say he eats it. Ok? The pan owes themselves had brown liquid in the bag looked vile. I offered to Send in photos too but he said he would just see the food back on collection. I think they thought we were trying to pull a fast one because of the initial Payment mix up. We absolutely are not, had to order a new Chinese elsewhere. Since this I’ve looked at the reviews on here and noticed a very long list of similar experiences those who do not see quality in this food at all. The problem is, the produce being bought in, is cheap and even the best of chefs can’t make a decent meal with poor ingredients to start with. Won’t be ordering here again, I think after all the other reviews too, they really need to change up if they want to maintain a business worth investing in. Thanks to my polite kind delivery driver he had lovely customer service and was kind throughout the money mix up, and then re collecting the foods. Ps: you don’t have carrots with duck pancakes 😆”

  “Absolutely awful. The rice wasn't cooked right. The satay chicken looked weird. The chow mein was all watery and noodles swing. The salt and pepper chicken dry and the 'flavour' was a pile at edge of the tub that tastes weird too. Please dont order from here. I have binned it all, which ive never done before with a chinese. Nothing tastes great. Delivery driver was polite though, assume not his fault.”

  “Absolutely disgusting do not order, prawn crackers were stale, ribs had no meat on just bone, fried rice was rock solid and chicken was pink on the inside. I rang and complained and was told its meant to be like that. Will not be ordering again.”

  “Very tasty indeed! Book through the just eat website on Tuesday and it will work out cheaper with the discount. Delicious food, expensive delivery but worth it.”
