“Came here to dine in. Person at the desk definitely need to be trained on customer service. I can tell he is quite young from how he presents himself to customers, but training is required. No drink menu presented, could not tell what drinks they have to offer. No music to help emphasise the atmosphere. Maybe I should have gotten a takeaway instead because the fly issue was insane. I understand that it was hot but at least have something to deal with flies if you are keeping the door open. E.g. fly strips or a fly light. It was impossible enjoy food when you are too busy defending your food (the attached image does not show the amount of flies that was swarming us). The food is mid. Edible but definitely better Chinese elsewhere. I would not waste your money on this place. Respectfully.”

“This place used to be really good, so I’m not sure what has happened. Ordered a Chinese last night. Sweet and sour sauce was so thick and gelatinous that it couldn’t be poured over anything, despite being very hot. Chicken balls were dry …”

“Ordered a takeaway from Lee’s Cottage. Phone receptionist was monosyllabic, which should have sounded alarm bells. The food was truly awful and my wife and I threw most of it away without finishing it. Best avoided if you enjoy good food”

“I came in hungry and left with trust issues. The food tasted like it had been microwaved emotionally rather than physically, with flavors ranging from “salt” to “confused salt.” My orange chicken was neither orange nor chicken-like, the …”

“Great place. We have just moved to the town and previously we had a fair few options for eating out, however in eye options are limited. Needless to say if it had been bad it would have been a tricky start! We were not disappointed by this meal for the family. Great flavours, good prices and quick. Thanks!”

Customer Review Summary
Reviews split sharply, with most describing disappointing food. Sweet and sour sauce was called thick and gelatinous, chicken balls dry, and orange chicken unlike its name. One couple threw most of a takeaway away. A dine-in reviewer reports swarming flies, no drink menu, and a desk person needing training. One newcomer praised great flavours, good prices and quick service for a family meal.
