Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the generous portions, with the crispy beef, beef and blackbean, and chicken chow mein singled out as full of meat. Close behind are the sweet and sour chicken balls described as the size of hen eggs, a huge pancake roll, and a special curry packed with meat. Others name the hot and sour soup, large crisp prawn crackers, egg fried rice with plenty of egg, and duck chow mein with salt and peppered chips. Several call the prices reasonable, and a few describe the food as proper "English" Chinese. Reviewers also mention friendly staff, multiple vegetarian options, and fast service. The recurring caveat is that the place is cash only, noted by two reviewers. One reviewer describes a collection order placed for 6.45 that arrived only after a long wait, with walk-in customers served first and the order apparently forgotten until they asked. Another would prefer cardboard boxes to the plastic ones. One long-time customer of 14 years still calls it the best Chinese takeaway in Hereford.

“Excellent! I've not really looked for a decent Chinese takeaway since moving to the Hereford area but I've now found one based on reviews of others that I'll definitely be returning to. The food purchased was hot, full of flavour and in good sized portions. It was excellent value for money too and the service was excellent which was provided with a smile. Food hygiene rating is a 5 too. Note that they only take cash as payment though.”

“Oh my word. We're from just across the border in Wales. If only you could deliver there lol. This was by far, the best ever. We are not very adventurous and stick mostly to the same thing. The chicken Chow Mein was so tasty, with lots of chicken in it, chicken curry the same full of chicken and my favourite addition of mushrooms, I am sure if you're not a fan they would leave them out for you, but why would you, it was immense. The egg fried rice wasn't bland at all like most takeaways, it had lots of egg in it and full of flavour. We did our own chips with it purely because we bought it early and warming chips up isn't the best. We absolutely, highly recommend this Chinese takeaway. I can see us making the trip across the boarder just for this. Compliments to the chef. Just perfect 👌”

“ordered a meal last night on phone for our daughter at 6.11 for collection at 6.45, called in at 6.35 and paid for meal then to be sat there till 7.10. people walking in off the street ordering getting food before me. when asked about my order to which they clearly forgot about it suddenly turned up at 7.15. we also had an indian takeaway ordered for us to collect at 6.50 which was just around the corner. sadly our indian takeaway was waiting 20 mins for us to collect and was cold when we got home. poor service summer palace. very disappointed”

“Excellent. New to the area so looked at all the reviews for Chinese Takeaways in Hereford and chose here. Highly recommend them, the food was hot, tasty and full of ingredients. A proper 'English' Chinese if you know what I mean. The hot and sour soup was one of the best I've ever had.”
