Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often point to the Munchie Box, which one calls a personal favourite with many varieties of food, though another says it has gone downhill, with soggy chips and bland contents that need sauce for flavour. Close behind are the special chow mein, called delicious, and the sweet and sour chicken, described as perfectly crispy and Cantonese style with crisp peppers and carrot. Several describe quick delivery, food arriving piping hot, and friendly staff, with free prawn crackers and food made to order mentioned too. Dry ribs did not suit one diner. The sharpest complaint comes from one reviewer who describes a large order with soggy honey chilli beef, dry salt and chilli chicken, mushy special fried rice and an unpleasant lemon chicken sauce. That reviewer says the takeaway refused a refund, offered to recook everything, then gave a partial cash refund after heated phone calls and said they were blacklisted. Another diner reports being handed chicken fried rice and beef fried rice that were both delicious.

“Today I ordered some beef noodles, salt pepper chicken wings and chicken curry. The delivery was very quickly and the food was piping hot when I got them and tastes delicious. The best takeaway in my opinion, definitely going there again”

“Not had from here in a while so decided to give it another try spent £49 on a big order the “crispy” shredded honey chilli beef was soggy and all you could taste was honey , lemon chicken with sweet and sour sauce the sauce was also disgusting, salt and chilli chicken was rock solid and dry, the special fried rice was mushy and the chicken tasted funny.. we had dished it all and couldn’t eat it phoned to complain asked for money back but they said they can’t do that .. yet asked us to dish everything back in to the tubs and they would cook it all from scratch .. we didn’t want this and just wanted money back for the things we disliked .. the counter staff lady was over speaking on the phone kept interrupting started shouting and hung up I had to keep calling and they kept hanging up.. we managed to record the last call and her attitude is stink £49 we paid for chips and seaweed literally the only thing we ate and we get black mailed with £20 take it or leave it.. we felt obliged to as there was 0 reasoning with them delivery driver dropped the £20 off and we handed food back that we didn’t like .. told we were blacklisted from the place and not to order again don’t worry we won’t be but will make sure this is made known! Disgusting customer service. And food”
