Customer Review Summary
Takeaway orders built around chow mein draw the most praise, from a king prawn version with great-sized prawns to a chicken one described as big enough to feed two and a special chow mein with plenty of small prawns and other meats. Close behind are the King Do ribs, called the best one reviewer has tasted, and the char sui egg fried rice. Others single out duck pancakes, Kung po chicken, chicken satay on skewers and salt and pepper chicken made spicier on request. Curry sauce gets nods for taste, and reviewers mention generous portions, large bowls of soup on the lunch menu, easy online ordering and fast delivery. The complaints are specific. One reviewer waited over an hour for a small takeaway order while dine-in customers finished their meals, and was told the kitchen was busy. Another found the salted chilli chips over crispy, one noted the small ribs portion held only four ribs, and a diner felt a munchy box eaten in would have suited curry sauce better than sweet chilli. One regular says meals have always arrived piping hot.

“Waited over an hour for our takeaway which wasn’t a big order ! customers were coming in and sitting having a meal and finishing and leaving before we even got our food ! Others were coming in and ordering takeaways and getting there’s quite quickly . When I asked where my food was she said they were busy but to be honest they weren’t that busy at 5.30 pm when we got there and we got our food at 6.45 pm . It better be good when I get home with it and it better be hot and worth the wait !!!”

“Whilst on holiday in Helensburgh we fancied a Chinese takeaway, we have our favourite one where we live and nothing compared to ours until now . Wow what an amazing place food was outstanding and the price was really cheap ,the portion size huge one chicken chow main is big enough to feed 2 comfortably, I was a bit iffy with the curry sauce as it looked runny but the taste was second to non ,its a shame its over 350 miles away from my home or I would be making this my new go to Chinese if your in the area make sure you go here either eat in or take away you will not be disappointed at all.”
