Customer Review Summary
Reviews split sharply. Several describe bland, badly flavoured food, including ribs one reviewer compared unfavourably to a supermarket, and a set meal called the worst takeaway experience they'd had. One delivery arrived after ninety minutes with chewy beef and overcooked rice. Others disagree, praising vegetable spring rolls and chow mein, though one found the sweet and sour sauce unpleasant.

“Well, been a while since used this Chinese shop, but last few times, I can honestly say, if this shop has a Chinese cook, then something is seriously lacking. Absolutely bland, flavoured incorrectly, and tonight’s ribs, I could have got better at Morrisons. Will not be returning, until changes made. 🙁”

“The food was of a high standard but the sweet and sour sauce didnt taste very nice so i had nothing to dip my chicken balls into..”
- Ross Parker
“I think this was the worst Chinese takeaway I have ever eaten. Every part of the set meal was bad, even the prawn crackers. They attempted to make up for this by quantity, but most of the food ended up in the bin. I won’t be returning.”
- Teresa Purnell
“Ordered here for delivery. Took over an hour and a half. We are 3 miles away ! Had beef fried rice. The beef went in the bin it was ridiculously chewy. And rice way overcooked. Didn't taste fresh. Would not recommend. Poor value food.”
- Grace Cooper-Parker
“Ordered through deliveroo and was slightly worried based on recent reviews - but the food was great! All hot, standard British Chinese takeaway. I got the chips, vegetable spring rolls, vegetable chow mein and vegetable sweet and sour.”
