“The best Chinese takeaway around. I just ate from here (we’ve gone here multiple times) and it’s genuinely some of the best Chinese I’ve ever had. Look no further if you’re trying to find your go to place. All the meat was done to perfection. No fatty or grisly bits. The flavours are amazing 😍”

“Ordered here for the first time just to try out a new Chinese…we have now found a new favourite. Everything was perfect, brilliant prices, friendly staff. Curry sauce is perfect. Can’t wait to order again.”

“Two years ago, I left a review after my order was messed up—and instead of taking responsibility, the blame was pushed onto staff. After that, things seemed to improve for a while, so I gave them another chance, as the food is generally good. Unfortunately, today proved again that nothing has really changed and once again, my order was wrong. This time, the person handling the call was not only dismissive but outright patronising; initially trying to suggest the mistake was ours and when it became clear the error was on their end, the blame shifted yet again—this time onto the delivery driver. That’s simply not acceptable. The driver is a regular, and in all my experiences has been polite, reliable, and honest. Seeing him unfairly blamed just to avoid accountability was disappointing. Mistakes happen—people understand that. But refusing to take responsibility and instead pointing fingers at others is a far bigger issue. Sadly, this experience shows that nothing has really improved.”

“4th time ordering a delivery. Absolutely perfect. Fresh, good time and value for money”

“Use to be good, now food is awful and just spicy in levels you just feel the burn and nothing else. Shame as it seems new management / chefs are destroying it.”

Customer Review Summary
Flavour divides reviewers, and the split follows how long they have been customers. Several long-standing regulars call recent meals bland and tasteless, one describes spice that brings only heat, and a couple suspect new management or chefs. Newer customers praise the curry sauce, the king prawn curry and the Hong Kong sweet and sour, along with meat free of fatty or grisly bits, friendly staff and good value. Some call delivery fresh and on time. Others report the opposite. One order arrived well before its scheduled time, and the caller who complained was told to order at the hour they wanted the food. Another turned up very late with barely warm chips and pancake roll and a curry sauce that had gelled and set. One regular describes a second wrong order in two years, where the person on the phone first blamed the customer and then the delivery driver, who is described as polite and reliable.
