Customer Review Summary
Satay chicken draws the most consistent praise, reviewers repeatedly single it out as "first class" and call for it to be ordered "easy on the salt," while fried rice comes up close behind as fresh and a favorite alongside it. The £11 three course meal is also mentioned more than once as good value, with the salt and chilli chips and chicken noodle soup each getting a specific nod for quality. Set against this, a real minority describe dishes as soggy and greasy with "zero passion or interest," and one reviewer says an order took nearly two hours to arrive just five minutes away, with the salt and pepper chicken so dry it "went in the bin." Another describes an entire order coming out wrong, calling the mix-up "hilarious" but warning against ordering if accuracy matters. Overall descriptions swing between food arriving piping hot and cooked well, and inconsistent execution on busier or unlucky orders.

“Got breast of chicken curry with fried rice chips & prawn crackers & it was so nice cooked to perfection with maybe too much onions. But all in all will definitely be ordering again... thank you 😊”

“Absolutely unreal. 3 course meal for £11 how can you complain at that!!! Everything tastes so fresh and the salt and chilli chips are actually so crispy and fluffy unlike other places where they're just soggy. Best Chinese ever”
