Customer Review Summary
Large spring rolls draw repeated praise, with reviewers calling them excellent and home made, and several return specifically for more along with special fried rice. Close behind, the special curry and Singapore chow mein get recommended by name, and the hot combo and chicken and sweetcorn soup are frequently mentioned favorites, described as full of chicken, hot and fresh. Staff are called friendly and polite, with one diner noting a chair was brought over for them. One reviewer, however, describes a birthday visit marred by a rude staff member and food that seemed recooked, citing an inedible combo starter, stale prawn toast, tired seaweed, and a gloopy chicken and sweetcorn soup with leftover peas. Another notes the hot and sour soup wasn't to their taste. Multiple reviewers say it's become their regular go to Chinese takeaway in Chorley, with one traveling from Croston specifically for the spring rolls.

- Vicky Coe
“Such a shame This place used to be amazing, went for a treat for my birthday last week. To witness staff member rude to phone and to walkin customers. Food just thrown on trays mixed up. Combo stater chicken wings put under spare ribs and bbq sauce and were also inedible, prawn toast stale and seemed like it had been refried in old oil, seaweed that has most definitely seen the sea, chicken and sweetcorn soup thick gloopy tasteless and with leftover peas in probably from the last thing cooked in the pan 🤷♀️ Overall not a pleasant experience due to rude staff member and all food that seemed recooked”
