Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise large portions of hot Chinese food, with the special fried rice described as massive and the salt and pepper king prawns called phenomenal. Close behind, several mention friendly, helpful staff and an order taker who listens, and a regular says orders have never been wrong. Spring rolls and chips also get a nod, even from one harsh critic. The complaints carry real weight, though. Several describe food that missed the mark: a beef curry said to taste of soap, special fried rice likened to plain egg fried rice, fatty pork, a beef chow mein that was mostly peppers over noodles, and crispy chicken served in sauce rather than with it and too hot to eat. Others report cold spring rolls, one with no meat and only one prawn, and one reviewer describes a long wait and feeling sick at the first bite. One regular recalls forgetting to pay for an order and being handed it anyway, told to pay next time.

“Could have been warmer as l only live about 10 mins away spring rolls were cold don't think they'd been cooked green peppers were not ripe and seeds left in not much sauce on meal will think twice before using again”

“Great hot food large portions. One of the nicest Chinese takeaways in Halifax.”

“I struggle to understand how your profession is Chinese food, a beef curry tasted like soap that’s been swilled on a dirty pan that’s burned something, that’s the exact same for the fried rice… Secondly we waited over an hour for this order for it to taste as poor as it did, never in my life has food made me be sick at the first bite NEVER! I am so beyond dissatisfied and more so disappointed. I will not be eating here ever again, the best tasting things was the spring rolls and chips which are deep fried, I am utterly ashamed that I wasted my money on this absolutely ashamed”

“Been here quite a few times over the years and the food never fails. It's probably the best Chinese I've ever been to. The person who takes the orders is brilliant polite and always listens. The orders have never been wrong and it's not badly priced. The quality and portion sizes are good too.”
