“Ordered hoisin duck pancakes and beef satay. Was really lovely, great quantities of food, super rapid service, food was given to us as soon as we'd arrived, only 10 minutes after ordering online. Would recommend as a good local takeaway!”

“Just had sweet & sour chicken delivered for my son & myself . Hands down the Worst one we’ve ever had , literally went straight in the bin . Coating on chicken was slimy & didn’t taste right - absolutely disgusting 🤮 Phoned to complain only to be told that’s how they do it . Save yourself the bother & go elsewhere!”

“First time ordering from here. Crab claws were gorgeous, sauces a very generous size, lovely lady on the phone. Everyone is full up and can’t eat any more as we’ve been busy all day and no time to cook. Prawn crackers divine and we have still have left overs from four of us. Soup absolutely lovely. Thank you so much! Usually I don’t like Chinese but I really wanted to try crab claws and found them on google. I’ll definitely be back as a lot of dishes sound great but couldn’t order everything at once! Dad had a MASSIVE plate of food which I didn’t picture but it was HUGE. Free spring rolls too! Cannot fault this place, they are happy to fix any problems too which was great. 5/5 on everything 🤗 will be back soon 🍤”
