Customer Review Summary
The Munchie Box draws repeat praise as a standout order, with reviewers also singling out chicken in garlic and oyster sauce, beef and cashew, Peking duck with pancakes, House Special fried rice, salt and chilli chips, and a house special chow mein loaded with prawns and meat. Portions come up again and again as generous, and several describe the food arriving piping hot and quick. Pricing is repeatedly called reasonable, and multiple long-term customers, some ten years or more, say they wouldn't go elsewhere. One reviewer notes staff clarify price and timing upfront and describes three missing-item mistakes over two decades, each corrected without dispute. Not every order lands, though: one diner reports a Wednesday special where the chips were dry and overcooked, the fried rice turned to mush, and the chicken was tasteless, calling it money down the drain. Another notes the chicken in a Munchie Box was a bit tough, though still enjoyed the box overall.

“Takeaway only. Reasonable prices, tasty meals every time. Never been disappointed. Can recommend chicken in garlic and oyster sauce, beef and cashew is another favourite of ours !!! Peking duck with pancakes, carefully prepared and tasty. House Special Fried rice is very good too. !! We have tried lots of other dishes too, they are always delicious. Generous portion of BBQ ribs. We also love Dannys salt and chilli chips, they are very flavoursome and a generous portion.”

“Weve been looking for a good chinese takeaway for ages and we find this one is very good. The food is lovely and akways piping hot. Tonight i got the chicken in garlic and chilli. I asked if it was cooked in batter, he told me no, but would cook it in batter. Same price. Find the staff are lovely. Prices are good. Has a high Gateshead Council rating for hygiene. Apparantly has been open for years which speaks for itself. Would defo recommend.”
