Customer Review Summary
Reviews split sharply: some describe tasteless meals, calling one black bean sauce dish the worst they'd had, with one diner tossing out an inedible £20 order and calling the shop dirty with rude staff. Another describes a phone order left waiting, arriving to a locked, dark shop. Others disagree, praising the food and service, one returning for over 30 years, though wishing delivery existed.

“Don't order over the phone, ordered at opening time to be told it will be a hour. Went a hour later to find the shop all locked up with the lights off, and had to wait another 20 mins while they cooked it. Never again !!!”
