Customer Review Summary
Complaints about missing delivery items dominate the feedback, with several diners describing ordered dishes confirmed twice on the phone that still arrived incomplete, and being told they'd have to pay again and wait further for the correction. Long delivery waits recur too, with more than one reviewer reporting waits over an hour or two hours, including one who cancelled after being told the order would be remade from scratch and switched to another takeaway instead. A couple describe the phone staff as rude during these disputes. Against this, in-store visits draw praise: reviewers call the food tasty, single out the salt and chilli munch box as among the best they've had, and describe the space as spotless with the kitchen visible from the waiting area, plus one mention that payment there is cash only. One diner also reported a chow mein arriving dry and oddly discolored, unlike what they'd had before.

“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”
