Customer Review Summary
Diners repeatedly single out the King Do ribs as a standout, alongside praise for the special chow mein and generous portions like a chicken chow mein described as big enough for two. Duck pancakes and kung po chicken also draw returning favor, and the lunch menu, including chicken satay and chicken curry, gets called great value. Several mention fast, easy online ordering and food arriving piping hot, with friendly, hard working staff noted more than once. One reviewer, however, describes waiting over an hour for a small takeaway order while other customers were served more quickly, and felt dismissed when asking about the delay. A separate order found the salted chilli chips a bit too crispy, and another diner having a munchy box in house wished it came with curry sauce instead of sweet chilli. Most describe the flavours as fresh and the prices as reasonable.

“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.”
