“Tried this takeaway for the first time and wished I hadn’t….. The food was delivered on time but unfortunately it had no taste whatsoever and was a massive disappointment. I will not return and consider my £36 bill a total waste of money…”

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often come back to the crispy duck, praised for tender meat and crunchy skin, though one recent order arrived with next to no duck and tasted left over from the day before. Close behind is the chicken in yellow bean with cashews, which one diner called authentic, with vegetables you could actually taste rather than oil or sweet sauce. Others describe traditional Hong Kong style cooking, generous portions and friendly staff. The chow mein draws the most specific complaints, with one reviewer finding it rubbery and bland like old noodles and another saying it has turned into plain noodles twice, lacking the soy flavour it once had. Watery sweet and sour sauce, a wrong pork dish and a delivery that never arrived after more than two hours, with the shop phone going unanswered, also feature among the lower ratings. Chicken balls were the one dish a disappointed diner found fresh.
