Customer Review Summary
Diners most often praise the food as delicious, naming the prawn satay, salt and chilli ribs, house special duck and crispy shredded chicken, with the udon noodles called top tier. Several mention large portions, generous meat and food arriving piping hot, and a few find ordering through the app or website easy. Waiting times split opinion. One regular says the food takes long enough that they now order well ahead, while another reports a delivery that still had not arrived hours after ordering and cancelled when the driver could not be reached. Several one-star reviews describe a drop in quality, including dry salt and chilli chips covered in powder, chow mein that tasted of off bean sprouts, soggy chicken balls with hard chicken inside, and a set meal missing its usual sweet and sour sauce. One reviewer says a wrong collection order led to an argument on the phone, then a late delivery with an item missing and burnt rice.

“I placed an order which I had to collect, when I got home the order was wrong. I rang them whoever answered proceeded to argue with me as to why it was wrong then told me To come back and get it exchanged. I said no you deliver it as it's your mistake it then took nearly an hour to get to me only to be missing 1 items and the food tasting crap, burnt rice etc. they don't really deserve the 1 star”

“First time ordering, ordered our food at 6:50pm and still no arrived by 9:00pm had to cancel as we don’t eat that late … shame but will never order again as over 2 hour wait and they couldn’t get hold of there driver as no network lol .. I live in Brentwood and plenty of network coverage!”
