Customer Review Summary
The Singapore style chow mein draws repeat orders, with reviewers praising the pork especially, and several also single out the ribs and pork dumplings as strong picks. Spring rolls and the chicken and sweetcorn soup get a specific recommendation from one diner, though others found the soup a letdown, with one describing the chicken and mushroom version as more of a starch thickened sauce than a soup. Consistency is the recurring trade off: the same reviewer who loves the chow mein flags the Kung Pao as too sweet and the beef dishes as chewy, while others report bland food, salt and pepper chips burnt hard enough to hurt teeth, and dry, tasteless meals leading to refund requests. A couple of reviewers link the decline to a staff member no longer being there, saying the front desk used to make collection more pleasant. Delivery is called prompt and hot on arrival by at least one reviewer.

“No complaints. The ribs are very good. Delivery time, ample. Hot on arrival.”

“Ordered from here many times and for me the Singapore style ChowMein with pork is the best dish here and worth getting. I’ve had some great fritters and ribs but some of the food needs work imo. The Kung Pao was far too sweet, and the beef dishes (Black Pepper/Bean Sauce) were inconsistent with chewy meat. The Salt & Pepper fries tasted great but lacked that authentic stir-fry style, and the soup was really disappointing.”
