“First time in a while ive been there, usually very good but going by tonights curries I will not be returning, the curry was so watery and the curry tasted like someone had just thrown curry powder into water and brought it to the boil and added a few ingredients, no depth or body to it at all soooo sad”

“£52 for basically very poor food. My ribs in hot bbq were mild in like sweet and sour. Chips were overcooked?, fried rice could have been boiled rice and nobody else really enjoyed their meal. Maybe one off but poor.”

“First time and never again. Chicken chow mien had slimy weird smelling chicken, chips were like cardboard, I've never had a Chinese like it. It just wasn’t fresh.. maybe they warm it up or keep it warm for too long. We all had a few mouthfuls and threw the rest away. Such a waste of money. I don’t understand the good reviews”

“Ok loved this. Ordering was easy staff were friendly. Delivery was quick and driver lovely. It was reasonably priced. The best thing is the food itself was not oily / greasy. Rice and chicken balls lovely and dry, curry and chow mein tasty and made with decent ingredients. Honestly I couldn’t fault it !”

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise light, fresh food that is not oily, with the fried rice and chicken balls described as lovely and dry. Close behind are the chicken spring rolls, satays and black bean sauce dishes, while another diner singles out the duck and pineapple, duck pancakes and seaweed. Quick, friendly service comes up repeatedly, and one regular says any missing item has always been put right. Several note the takeaway is under new ownership, with one saying some dishes have changed flavour a little but remain very good. Opinion is not uniform, though. Four reviewers report disappointing meals: a chicken chow mien with slimy, odd-smelling chicken, a watery curry that tasted like curry powder boiled in water, ribs in hot bbq that tasted like sweet and sour, and chips like cardboard. One calls the dishes inauthentic. Several also regret that card payments are no longer taken. One reviewer in Magor notes that delivery arrives at the time promised.
