Customer Review Summary
Fried rice and chow mein draw the most praise, called tasty and hot and fresh, with one diner enjoying a food binge despite a slow wait for food. Saltiness recurs as a complaint, with one reviewer calling the chicken curry inedible from excess salt, and another describing a half duck order as an overcooked breast of exceptionally poor quality.

“Tasty fried rice and chow mein. Really hot and fresh!”
- Steven Parsons
“Quite comfortably the worst Chinese i have ever had. Cheap but awful strange texture on the curry sauce if you can call it curry sauce could not taste the curry due to the overall taste of salt. Think it needs renaming from chicken curry to salt curry with a bit of chicken. Disgusting. I used to think that you could never get a bad chicken curry from a Chinese. I stand corrected. First and last time I ever go there”

“We ordered a meal last Friday as a treat for the kids. The food was of exceptionally poor quality and extremely salty. We are local and will never return there again. We ordered 1/2 a duck which was simply one overcooked breast that …”

“This is probably the best place I have been for a food binge. Staff friendly even gave me advice on what to eat if I was going on a date and if I didn't like that much (going above and beyond). I don't mean to pick holes but magazines were two years out of date, so bit of a wait for food (worked this out as they had inbetweeners2 in there). Roast pork chow mein could do with more seasoning 4 out of 5 a solid score! "Pukka" as they would say.”
