“Best Chinese in Co Down. Everything is done on the day when they sell out they close basically, it doesn't happen often but if you go late on a Friday you might find a few things have run out. Plus they are big family people they do close a bit to spend time with their kids which is lovely to see.”

“What a terrible experience have heard good things about this place but very disappointed got special fried rice with gravy and a chicken chow mein. The fried rice had 2 slices of chicken and one slice of beef hardly any gravy rice not fried frozen cooked prawns you can buy in most supermarkets. The chicken chow mein no flavour no broth tinned carrots and mushrooms and prosseced chicken what a disgrace.”
