Customer Review Summary
The complaints are specific and recent. Two reviewers who had been regulars found the curry flavourless on repeat orders, and another says the chow mein had almost no soy sauce through the noodles, with hard, crispy chips. A first-time visitor found the spring roll tasted of curry and the crispy shredded chicken had hard meat and a strange sauce. One says a set menu was so poor that half of it went in the bin, and another believes the change of ownership to the owner's family has run the place down.
