Customer Review Summary
Reviewers split sharply, but the most repeated draw is fast delivery of hot food, with several describing it as piping hot, prompt and polite. Duck and curry get named as favourites, and one reviewer who never liked duck now orders it in all styles. Large spring rolls packed with meat and free prawn crackers also earn praise, along with big portions and good prices.

“Had crispy duck in plum sauce .. the plum sauce was disgusting tasted off .. n the duck am almost certain wasnt duck that tasted awful .. bout 5 month ago the food was awesome .. then about 2/3 months ago the food wasn't as nice n now it's just down right disgusting .. I'm sure they got rid off the cook from back then n got a new 1 n if so he makes horrible food .. I used order all the time back then .. then wen the food started tasting not as good .. I didn't order for long time .. thought I'd try again tonight omg big mistake .. worse than ever ... it definitely wasn't made from fresh ingredients .. its made my stomach bad .. 👎”

“Absolutely unreal food, only recently moved to the area and after over a year of not being able to find a nice Chinese it’s so nice to have found such a welcoming nice place to get food from, only been twice but will 100% be back in the future.”
- Jonathan Wright
“Simply the best Chinese I’ve eaten in years. Good price, quick delivery and the food was piping hot and delicious!!! Definitely be ordering again. Thank you”
- Philip McKean
“Have ordered from here three or four times now. Delivery has been prompt and the delivery driver was friendly. The packaging is mostly paper, which helps stop food from steaming and becoming soggy. The quantity was acceptable and the quality is high. In particular the large spring rolls are packed, and not just with bamboo shoots - loads of meat! It appears to be pot luck as to whether you get a free bag of prawn crackers or not… so best order some to be sure ( they are lovely!) 😇”
