Customer Review Summary
Long-time customers most often praise generous portions of hot food, with the chicken curry and the chips named as favourites. Several describe ordering for twenty years or more and call the owners pleasant and the delivery quick, though one says service can be slow and suggests ordering in advance. Other reviews are sharply negative. Two reviewers report being hospitalised with salmonella after ordering in mid December, and one says doctors suspected the egg fried rice. Others describe a decline, with one attributing it to new owners and citing hard, underdone chips, while another found bland chips and curry sauce with no taste. That reviewer says the veg chow mein held only a few pieces of broccoli and the veg spring rolls were practically empty inside.

“Adjusted rating for new owners. Bad service, wont take cash, chips are hard and underdone food sucks. Original reveiw - very good on the phone, they are always polite and professional. The food here is crisp and clean, and the chips are always amazing. Good consistency with the quality of food and great portion sizes. Very rarely do we order from elsewhere for a chinese.”

“My family has been visiting this place for many years, usually enjoying good food. However, on December 14th, the day after I ordered from them, my father became very ill. He was taken to the doctor and then to the hospital, where he spent a week recovering from salmonella (food poisoning). The doctors suspected the egg fried rice, as it's often kept under a heatlamp, which encourages bacteria growth. My mom thought it tasted strange, and I felt sick but did not actually get ill. I can't recommend this place because, once it has happened, it's likely to happen again. I wouldn't wish the pain of”
