Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often praise tasty, hot food at affordable prices, with one diner naming the curry sauce as the best and another noting the kitchen does not skimp on meat. Several describe fresh, very tasty meals on repeat orders, and a customer of over 30 years calls the quality good, though some dishes run a little too salty. Delivery is called speedy by one reviewer. Close behind is a run of food complaints: crispy beef burnt almost black, burnt sesame prawn toast, stale prawn crackers, slimy chicken in the curry, and overcooked dishes in small portions. One diner doubted the chicken dishes and ribs were cooked fresh because they arrived almost straight after ordering. Service draws repeated criticism as unfriendly and unhelpful, and two reviewers say wrong orders were blamed on them. One reviewer questions the bird cages on display and food safety. Another says a refund for a wrong dish, offered over the phone, turned into shouting at the counter.

    “Worst chinese place in ALL of Borehamwood! Awful service!!!!! The man and the woman who run the place are horrible - after telling me to come and get a refund for a wrong dish over the phone, they completely switched up on me in person and were shouting at me. They just don’t let you speak or care to amend their problems. Do not order from them unless you want horrible food and stress!!!!!”

    “Been searching for a good Chinese take away in Borehamwood since we moved here 18 months ago. Must say from the outside it doesn’t look appealing but gave it a go and the food was superb. Gave it another go and yet again, another awesome meal. Food super hot, fresh and very tasty. We’ve kicked our old place into touch. Try it, you won’t be disappointed.”
