Customer Review Summary
Lamb chops draw the strongest praise, with reviewers also naming the Sweet & Sour Chicken Balls and Beef with Green Peppers in Blackbean Sauce, delivered hot and fairly quick. Several call the food beautiful and not greasy. But one reviewer describes ribs with no meat, cardboard-like chips, and sauce like sour vinegar, plus a dismissive owner, while another says requested dry salt and pepper chips arrived soggy.

“Very clearly asked for the salt and pepper chips to be dry as I dont like all the veg and the soggyness. Of course thy didnt, panda crook has never had a problem with it, only ordered from here as they were closed. They are also cheaper and much nicer food. Definitely wont be ordering again”

“I only order small for myself so some ribs, chips and sauce does me good for a meal. I went to order at my usual place fortune place "unfortunately it wasn't open so decided to try somewhere new. Never again. There was no meat on the ribs, I was holding nothing but greasy bone and the gristle I did try and chew was completely inedible. The chips were worse than cardboard yet looked totally anemic? The sweet and sour sauce was nothing but runny sour vinegar and yet to more disappointment I also noticed "New duck spring rolls" it's christmas eve tomorrow why not! Yet when I came to eat one there was no duck! To then be told by the owner with an attitude that this is how every takeaway chinese looks! Then that the only way I could basically eat tonight was to spend more money and they would give me a little discount. Lesson learnt from here”
