Customer Review Summary
Chicken balls draw the most praise, with reviewers describing them as some of the largest they've seen, packed with huge chunks of chicken, though one visit found them greasy and mostly batter. Close behind, salt and pepper chicken and salt and pepper chips get singled out as crispy and well-seasoned, and the home made chips and fall off the bone ribs earn mentions too, alongside the beef in black bean sauce, house special fried rice, and Singapore noodles. Portion sizes and generous meat content come up repeatedly as good value, and a few note polite, helpful counter staff and quick waiting times. Set against this, recurring complaints describe a real drop in standards: one reviewer found the sweet and sour reduced to warmed sauce, the beef curry flavourless, and the hot and sour soup thin and watery, while another describes an overcooked Chicken Chow Mein missing bean shoots, onions, and carrots, plus overcooked king prawn with broccoli.

“Everything absolutely spot on ! Everything we ordered was delicious & considering it was quite a big order, it came in decent time & quality retained. All the portions were pretty big! and heaps of meat in each dish ! Home made chips(which you rarely ever see in a chinese) fall off the bone ribs, wings tender & smothered in sauce. No faults really at all, would definitely recommend”

“Terrible. Worse food ever had from here. Chicken Chow Main was tasteless noodles over cooked no bean shoots or onions or carrots. Ordered noodles to go with chicken and King Prawn with Brockley and they were also over cooked very disappointed. Will have to look for somewhere else to go”
