Customer Review Summary
The salt and pepper box draws the most praise, with a couple of reviewers calling it huge value for money, and one pairs it with the crispy chicken dishes as a highlight. Several describe generous portions and good value across the menu. Others mention plentiful vegetables, tender meat and a spice level that suited them. Multiple reviewers call it their go-to Chinese in Congleton, and a few say it won them over after underwhelming takeaways elsewhere. Staff are described as nice, with good service and a quick turnaround, and one reviewer liked the delivery driver. The one critical review describes a lukewarm order with soggy sweet and sour chicken, chewy batter, an overly sweet sauce and bland, greasy fried rice. Part of that order was also missing, and staff were dismissive when the reviewer called. One regular suggests adding online ordering and big vegetable spring rolls rather than only mini ones. Reviewers keep returning to the same point: big portions, with the salt and pepper box feeling like huge value for money.

“We got take out, we are from Australia where the Chinese restaurants are a bit different, our experience with Chinese restaurants in the UK has been underwhelming until this meal, the veges were plentiful, the meat tender and the spice level perfect, thanks for changing our minds about Congleton's Chinese cuisine!!!”
