Customer Review Summary
Reviews split sharply, and the most repeated complaint is delivery and collection times. One reviewer says an order took close to three hours, another reports waiting over two and a half hours despite ordering just after opening, and a third waited 40 minutes past a collection time. One suggests phoning ahead rather than turning up to order. Praise centres on the salt and pepper chicken wings, described as crispy, fragrant and with just the right amount of salt and spice. Others call the food hot and freshly cooked, the portions big, and the staff friendly from the phone to the driver. Critics describe the opposite. One says the salt and pepper box was just salt, the prawn toast was like rubber and the chicken curry was bland. Another found overcooked prawns, a painfully salty sauce, greasy salt and pepper mushrooms and two tubs of egg-fried rice they never ordered. Others mention rock hard chips and too little meat or prawns. One reviewer received food that arrived cold and flavourless, and another opened a soggy box.

“Not great I’m afraid . Ordered 18.31pm , food delivery arrived 21.05pm. It was just me with a soup and main course , not a great deal. Going on 3 hours to deliver is a bit extreme . Business plan needs to accommodate demand , this just isn’t good enough . Food is good , sometimes there’s a variant in I’m thinking the cook . But food is good. Once I went to pick up and waited 40 mins past my pick up time to get my meal .. enough said … please learn from what I’m saying .”
