Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the crispy prawn dishes, with one long-time regular saying they come with plenty of big prawns rather than filler veg. Close behind are the ribs and duck pancakes from a mixed starter, plus lemon chicken, Cantonese beef and crispy chilli beef. Several call the portions generous and the value good, particularly the set menu, and staff are described as friendly and attentive. One coeliac found an entirely gluten free takeaway through Deliveroo and was delighted. The complaints centre on delivery and the online menu. One reviewer received dry, overcooked duck, ribs that were just bones, boiled-tasting egg fried rice and no prawn crackers, and was told the problem lay with Deliveroo. Another found mushroom curry missing from the app and the containers unlabelled. A third says the website prices come from an outdated menu. One diner found the sit-down meal poor, though the sharing starters were quite nice, and the restaurant was empty on a couple of visits.

“The quality of food last night was shocking! £70 order! Dry overcooked duck. Egg fried rice that was just boiled rice with some egg in it, the combo selection was a joke, overcooked ribs leaving absolutely no meat on them, literally just two bones, a teaspoon of crispy seaweed and rock hard prawn toast. The vegetable spring rolls were also dry and overcooked. Called the shop and they said it was deliveroos problem! And for £70 we didn't even get prawn crackers. We often use this place but safe to say we wont be returning.”

“Great food with a varied menu. We had the mixed starter and the ribs were delicious. The duck pancakes went down a treat. For mains there was lemon chicken, Cantonese beef, king prawn king po, crispy chilli beef with house special fried rice and mushroom fried rice. All four of us were really impressed with the food. Will definitely be back for more.”

“The prices shown on the website are based on photographs of an old, out-of-date menu and are considerably misleading. They do not accurately reflect the prices that customers are actually charged. The online menu should be updated to ensure customers receive correct pricing information before ordering and collecting their takeout order”

“Ordered from here on Deliveroo yesterday after seeing everyone recommend them online because of how amazing they are for gluten free. This hit the spot x10!! So happy to have been able to get an entirely gluten free Chinese takeaway after 5 years. Definitely recommend to every coeliac!”
