Customer Review Summary
Chow mein draws the most consistent praise, cited across multiple visits as reliably good even when other dishes disappoint. Close behind, the curry sauce splits opinion: one longtime customer calls it the best in Gloucester, while others describe a beef curry with tough meat and a thin, bland sauce not worth its price. Sweet and sour dishes come in for repeated criticism, with soggy batter, undercooked king prawns, and chicken balls one reviewer called vile. The pancake rolls get a nod despite an overall meal deemed pricey and average. One reviewer reports finding meat and prawns in an order meant to be vegetarian and allergy-safe, prompting them to stop returning. Several also flag rising prices, though one notes it still feels worth it for occasional treats. A few describe fast, efficient collection on a busy Friday night, with meat dishes said to have melted in the mouth.

“Quite pricey and average, but best pancake rolls”

“We had sweet and sour king prawns and chicken. Both weren’t great but the prawns were under cooked and the batter very thick and soggy. Poor quality eg fried rice too. Only decent part was the chow mein noodles. Save your money. Won’t be returning.”
- Allan Dymond
“Been going here since i was little and the foods been amazing every single time, i always get chowmein which has never not been good, chicken in honey and lemon sauce is what ive been getting for years and would reccomend it to anyone that hasnt had it, only thing i say is that the prices have gone up over the years but if youre only going to have it on the odd occasion its worth it.”

“Looking forward to a lovely curry Fri night. BUT was Very Very disappointed at the beef curry I purchased. The beef was tough, the curry sauce was like a thin gravy, very bland. NOT WORTH THE PRICE £8.30 with fried rice. The Chinese Kitchen on Hucclecote Road I highly recommend for flavor & price.”
