Customer Review Summary
Reviewers repeatedly single out the chicken curry and egg fried rice, along with chips and curry sauce, describing generous, larger-than-usual portions at low prices. Close behind, several praise the chow mein and sweet and sour chicken balls and note food arrives piping hot and cooked quickly, even without ordering ahead. Many describe returning regularly over months or years, calling the quality consistent and portions good value, with a few crediting friendly, professional staff, though one reviewer found the place no nonsense and not the most welcoming despite having no issues with the food. One reviewer offers a sharp exception, reporting a birthday order where meat seemed cooked separately and sauce added on top, calling it the worst Chinese they'd had and throwing most of a fifty pound order away, though they noted the rice was decent. Multiple reviewers mention ordering again for a second or third time.

“1st time trying this place. Absolutely gorgeous quality food. Prompt service and 4 satisfied people for under 50 quid and at that i reckon we over ordered so there's a doggy bag😆👍”
- Russell Taylor
“Tried first chips n curry sauce a few weeks ago. Recently moved here. Chips are very nice, curry sauce nice flavour with good heat. Larger than usual take away curry and much lower price. So we tried a proper chicken curry n egg fried rice. Couldn't fault it. One of the best Chinese take aways we've ever eaten. 10/10. Atmosphere? Its a takeaway not a restaurant but the staff are nice.”
