Customer Review Summary
Honey crispy chicken is the dish reviewers raise most, called yummy by one and chewy in its smaller pieces by another. Close behind are the fried rice with chicken, the prawn toast, foo yung, chips and satay sauce, all described as excellent or really nice. Many praise friendly staff and good value, and one long-time customer notes a Thai dish that missed the usual standard but was refunded with no argument. One reviewer describes an order placed at 19.48 arriving at 20.00, and another thanks staff for helping just before closing. The complaints are sharper. One reviewer found the kung po chicken dry, reheated and without heat or flavour. Another called the crispy chilli beef bland and floury, the noodle meat frozen and the pork balls tough. A third faulted a teenage girl at the counter for not smiling or welcoming customers. One Uber Eats driver also declined to bring an order to the front door, citing lack of parking, which the customer disputed.

“Great Tasty Chinese food as usual like other restaurants. Worst Customer Service by the Teen Girl kid..No smile not welcoming customers. Definitely lots of improvement and basic Etiquette manners required. Thanks for the better tasting food.”

“Ordered via Uber Eats. The food was edible, but that’s really the only positive we can say about it. The delivery driver, however, was friendly and polite. That said, they refused to deliver to our front door due to a “lack of parking,” yet were happy to wait outside a bank in the middle of town where there was also no parking. It felt more like an unwillingness to walk a few extra steps to the door. The food itself was very bland and lacking flavour. The crispy chilli beef was the worst we’ve had and had no spice to it at all. The beef tasted like chicken because that is how tasteless it was and I honestly could not tell the difference if they served me beef or chicken. Honestly, the frozen version from Iceland is far better. It had an unpleasantly floury taste. The noodles were acceptable but nothing special, and the meat in them was clearly frozen rather than fresh. The pork balls seemed pre cooked and reheated, as they were tough, and the chips were clearly cheap oven chips shoved in a deep fat fryer. After eating, we also felt quite unwell. Overall, this was a disappointing experience and we wouldn’t order again.”
