Customer Review Summary
Generous portions of hot, tasty food are what most reviewers return for, with shredded peking chicken, egg fried rice and chips named among the orders that went down well. Close behind is the low price for takeaway and friendly drivers, with delivery described as normally quick, though one diner found it long on a peak Friday night. One reviewer also describes a patient young woman who helped with an online order. Several reviews are less happy. One says the kung po chicken resembled tikka chicken in sweet chilli sauce, with no battered chicken or cashew sauce. Another found an odd smell on the crispy duck and received meat-filled spring rolls when vegetable ones were ordered. A regular says the curry egg fried rice and chips now comes in a smaller plastic tub and no longer fills them up, and one reviewer called the shop in poor decorative condition. Several happy customers mention a free bag of prawn crackers or vegetable spring rolls tucked in with their order.
