Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return for the special house chow mein, praised as packed with flavor with generous portions, and the duck chow mein alongside crispy pancake rolls stuffed with meat and beansprouts draws similar enthusiasm close behind. Many describe the food as consistently hot and delivered on time, with the staff and delivery drivers repeatedly called friendly and polite over years of ordering. A recurring complaint centers on pricing convenience rather than food, with one reviewer noting frustration at having to source cash for payment. Set against this is one sharply negative account describing a burnt, inedible order, a delivery delayed to an hour and a half despite the shop being quiet, and rude treatment, with that reviewer demanding a full refund. Most others, though, report returning repeatedly, some after years away, calling it consistently satisfying.
