Customer Review Summary
Salt and pepper chicken is the dish reviewers name most, called perfectly crispy by one diner and very flavoursome by another. Close behind are generous portions at fair, competitive prices, mentioned alongside food that arrived hot and fresh. Others praise the crispy chilli beef, the beef in the chow mein, and the new crispy chicken in peanut sauce. Two reviewers mention the change of ownership, one finding some dishes even better than before. The other, a customer of 15 years, found the food dry with no sauce and very salty, and says the plastic trays meant it was not hot by the time it got home. One reviewer calls the food bland with no taste at all. A third describes the crispy duck chow mein as flavourless, with duck that was not crispy, and says the egg fried rice had no flavour either.

“2 stars because 2 dishes were nice /4 ordered. The crispy chilli beef was lovely! And the salt and pepper chicken was very flavoursome however, the chow mein (‘crispy duck,’) was rubbish, no flavour watsoever and the duck was not crispy at all, it was actually very disgusting. The egg fried rice did not have any flavour to it at all unfortunately. A very mid chinese, and wouldnt be in a hurry to return at all… shame really”

“I have to admit, I was a bit cautious as it’s changed ownership but everything was hot, fresh and delicious, some dishes were even better than before. Portions were generous. Would highly recommend. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”
