Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise freshly cooked food that comes out quickly, with the chilli beef, chicken balls and special fried rice singled out as tasty and not greasy. Regulars say the variety is decent and that weak service is easily overlooked once the food arrives. The complaints are specific, though. Cash only payment frustrates several reviewers, including one caller who was never told on the phone and was sent to a cash machine across the road, while another calls it the only downside. Counter staff are described as lacking people skills, and the foyer as run down and basic. Opinions on the food split sharply. One diner received lemon chicken with pineapple and no batter, plus stodgy rice. Others describe sweet and sour sauce that tasted like jam and ribs that were fat and grisly. One phoned order that stated an onion allergy still arrived with onion in the duck fried rice and the chips missing.

“Phoned order through, stating onion allergy. When we got home duck fried rice had onion in it and also chips missing. Usually no problems but when really busy we have had order problems.”

“Came over from lincoln to see a family member, ordered from here and upon collecting, it was like I was going into a high security bank or something, absolutely no people skills whatsoever with their hatch door flung open and a tub slung at you for your money!! The food was absolutely disgusting, worst I've ever tasted in all my life, BBQ sauce smelt really fishy, the chips were at least a month old I think, and the ribs were just fat and grisly. Won't ever go here again.”

“Food was definitely not freshly cooked. Sweet and sour souce tasted like jam… So disappointed. Thanks for ruining my dinner. Will never be ordering from here AGAIN.”
- Helen Pratt
“Never had any issues with the food from here, always freshly cooked. Any sized telephone order usually only takes about 10 - 15 minutes. Only downside is cash only payments, but cash machine on opposite side of the road so no real issues..”
