“First and last order We spent 40 quid on 2 3in1 boxes and small extra bits , the rice was rock solid salt and pepper chicken was so chewy it was inedible. Crispy seaweed taste like pure fish juice. Same order from local Chinese is £15 cheaper and edible”

“Before coming here I read the reviews and I thought I'd give it a try, the lady behind the counter was very friendly and polite. They do take card. I asked for a smaller portion of salt and pepper chips and she abliged. I ordered house special chow main (extra sauce) this was delicious they put the noodles separately which was a bonus. I also had the lemon chicken, it was very tangy and reminded me of lemon curd, also the chicken batter was nice I could help but think it had a tinge of beef oxo cube in it ?, the chopsticks are really good, overall the food was very nice and flavorsome. Will definitely go again.”
