Customer Review Summary
Friendly counter service is the most consistent praise, with several describing the woman serving as lovely or cheerful and one calling the man who runs the kitchen dead friendly. Among dishes, reviewers who enjoyed their meals single out the salt and pepper squid, the sweet and sour chicken, and shredded Peking chicken with egg fried rice, and one praises the pork chow mein. The special curry draws the most complaints, described repeatedly as watery or thin and short on meat or prawns, with one saying it had no taste. Others report bland beef in ginger, a prawn toast that seemed reheated, tough chicken in the sweet and sour, overcooked rice and noodles, and small chip portions, with a few calling portions small for the price. One found the hot and spicy fried rice dry and not spicy. Still, one customer heading for a train home received express service and called the food delicious when eaten on the journey.

“Defo not the best Chinese we have had chicken curry was watery the chicken a bit tough, sweet and sour cantonese was okay, rice nice and fluffy, chips okay, portion sizes were small for price. Lady serving was nice.”
- Marie Hepplewhite
“Sorry to say this but food was awful every dish tasted bland and everything tasted the same there were 3 people eating the meal and they all said the same,curry was like water chips tasted like yesterdays warmed up and sweat and sour prawns were tiny and had no taste at all.”
- Sam Whitaker
“Was busy (indicates good food?) so was looking forward to our order, waiting was half hour, not a problem lady serving friendly, busy. All good so far until we got our food home The beef in ginger was very bland with an occasional hint of ginger, the special curry, sauce was thin but plenty if it, unfortunatly not a lot of ingredients (meat/prawns) chips were ok (but cant go that wrong with frozen chips?) Fried rice ok. The prawn toast was terrible to be honest, i think it had been cooked earlier and reheated, or thats how it looked/tasted”

“Not Singapore fried rice but Hot & Spicy fried rice 🤔. For me, it wasn't spicy. It was good but dry. As a suggestion, I'd use chilli oil to make this dish more spicy and more moist.”
