“Waited over 2 hours today for a delivery. Phoned 4 times to chase it up. Eventually told that the driver couldn't find us and they would have to make our order from scratch. The girl on the phone was very rude " what do you expect me to do?"etc. We cancelled and went to Woks cuisine where we had our food made and handed over in 10 mins. Extremely disappointed - we were all starving and had been looking forward to it all day.”

“Waited over an hour for delivery. All items were just pure greasy. Ribs were full of gristle. Chow mein completely tasteless. Never ordering from here again”

Customer Review Summary
Delivery problems dominate the reviews, and the most repeated complaint is a missing item. Several diners say they confirmed an order twice and heard it repeated back, yet a dish never arrived. One says staff then claimed it was never ordered, and another was told the missing item would be sent only if they paid for delivery again. Long waits recur too, with more than one reviewer describing delivery taking well over an hour or two hours, and one cancelled after four chasing calls and went elsewhere. Reviewers also describe the person on the phone as rude. Food complaints include a chicken chow mein covered in salty black sauce with dry chicken, greasy ribs full of gristle, and a tasteless chow mein. One diner who asked for only mushrooms, water chestnuts and oyster sauce received a dish full of other things. Praise comes from a couple of reviewers who call the salt and chilli munch box one of the best they have had, describe friendly staff in store and by phone, and note a spotless kitchen visible from the waiting area. Those same reviewers mention the shop is cash only.
