Customer Review Summary
Flavour divides reviewers most. Several find the food bland, describing salt and chilli chicken, salt and chilli chips and honey chilli chicken as having no flavour, and one says the chips came out soggy three times despite requests for extra crispy. A long-time customer says orders have seemed precooked for months, with overcooked chips, an off taste in noodle dishes and rice with a mouldy taste. One reviewer reports food poisoning after chicken fried rice they found undercooked, and says a friend's duck arrived burned and dry. Others praise stronger flavour than elsewhere, naming chicken black pepper, sezchaun chicken and chowmein, with smoked chicken called a must with any order. One finds the portions generous for one person. Staff and delivery drivers are described as friendly, though one reviewer reports constant redialling and a full mailbox. Another received a completely wrong order with rock solid rice and no can they had paid for.

“Usually a lovely Chinese but today was horrible, completely wrong order and rice was rock solid. And didn’t include the can in which I had paid for.”
- Shane McKernan
“For the past 3 months every order appears to be precooked, chips overcooked & their cooking oil is terrible as noodle dishes have a terrible taste & chewable dough texture. In fact, our boiled rice had a mouldy taste so we dumped it right away. Due to their kitchen being hidden with only a small hatch door to process orders, it's impossible to view both cleaning & cooking standards but the Food Standards Agency provided them with a 3* Hygiene Rating. Food quality had been great for the past few years which is disappointing as we're now having to travel elsewhere. Reducing star rating from 5* to 2* as the food standards at Prosperous have dropped terribly.”

“Stopped going here all together. I’m not one to complain or even write a complaint butttttt the food and service is just shocking. Salt & chilli chips soggy and bland. Gave the benefit of the doubt, but 3 times in a row I asked for “extra extra crispy” and got mush in a box. When I went back in I was the fella was giving me a blank expression and a shrug then told “it’s cos I was 5 mins late”, yet I every time I’ve sat and waited 15-25 mins ( past the original waiting time) and they’ve been exactly the same. On top of all that, It used to be, spend £25 and you get a free drink, ironically it’s gone up without telling anyone ( I get it with inflation, but how can you not let your weekly/fortnightly customers know) Haven’t been back, won’t ever be going back. Bit of advice, either save your money or go to Rasharkin Chinese they know what flavour is!!! Not to mention the chips are cooked to perfection.”

“Food is ok, staff is friendly enough at the quiet times and understandably stressed at the busy times. Delivery drivers are always friendly.”
- Aoife Gillen-Glass
“Got a salt and chilli chicken with a salt and chilli chip- absolutely no flavour, had to add seasoning at home. Also a honey chilli chicken, no flavour, very disappointed. Used to use this Chinese all the time a few years ago, came back on Saturday past and will never be back again.”
