Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often point to food that arrives hot and well ahead of the quoted time, on busy Saturday evenings for both pickup and delivery. Close behind are specific dishes: bean curd in black bean sauce with mushroom curry, bbq ribs, black bean beef, and a special rice with plenty of meat. Reviewers also describe polite counter and phone staff, including one who apologised when the delivery drivers were unavailable. The criticism is considerable, though. Two reviewers found the chicken balls tough, and others describe dry ribs, rock hard and cold chips, watery bbq sauce, egg fried rice and chicken with barely any sauce and heavy sesame oil, and a kung po chicken that was not spicy with very small pieces of chicken. A few long-time customers say standards have slipped, and one reviewer reports that a recent meal made their wife ill. Others say prices have gone up, with extras added at the end of the order and a charge for carrier bags. One diner recalls a staff member telling them they had dropped some money.

“I cook better Chinese. The place stinks out of hours. I should know better but it was close. What a waste of money the A1 barely any sauce for the chicken and rice, over killed with sesame oil. Rough as r soles. Never again will I eat from here, when a Chinese take away can’t get egg fried rice right avoid going there again”

“The best takeaway Chinese in Dereham but the prices have skyrocketed. Every dish that we ordered had gone up by £1or more and I'm sure the menu I had wasn't that old.Plus all the extras tacked on at the end which hiked the total for our order up another £4.20! Even charging 10p for carrier bags! They used to deliver to Shipdham for free but not any more. Good thing we only treat ourselves once in a blue moon.”

“I went here today and had the most incredible service I've had for years. The person who served me was so polite and helped me order my food when I can't pronounce them properly also the food was absolutely delicious, they said around 30 minutes but it ended up being ready in 3 minutes thank you so much for the great service and also I dropped some money and they actually told me I dropped some thank goodness, I will be back and I will be reccomending this place to others.”
