Customer Review Summary
Dryness is the complaint reviewers raise most, and many tie it to a recent change of ownership. Diners describe egg fried rice that was undercooked or like cardboard, chow mein and special chow mein that came dry, and beef in black bean sauce that was dry too. Chicken satay is called dry and tough, and chicken balls are described as rock solid and soggy, though one diner found them ok. Longtime customers say the food used to be great and that they will not return, and one says crispy chilli beef had a reduced portion and no flavour apart from sugar. Another reports a piece of plastic in a chicken chow mein. Reviewers also mention a shrunken portion of crisp shredded beef, stressed counter staff, and cash only payment as an annoyance. A lone positive review praises a king prawn curry with noodles and egg fried rice, friendly staff, and convenience for an overnight stay nearby. One reviewer who had ordered via delivery found the curry sauce unrecognisable.

“Change of ownership. Not impressed with the food. Ordered crispy chilli beef but the portion has been much reduced and to be honest it was quite tasteless. The texture and colour was good but there was no flavour apart from sugar. Not spicy in the slightest. Hot and sour soup again was very bland. Cash only, which was annoying.”

“HONEST REVIEW 2ND APRIL 2026 - Please do not waste your time with this place, All the food went in the bin. Chicken Satay - Dry and seriously tough. Chicken Balls - Rock Solid, Soggy and tough. Egg Fried Rice - Al Dente undercooked. Absolutely Awful. Worst Chinese/Takeaway I've ever had. Very Disappointed.”
- Steve R
“Used to be great. It's obviously under new management, and not in a good way. Counter staff are clearly stressed out and too young to be doing a proper job. Food was so dry and claggy. Sadly, I won't be going back again.”
- Lisa Hodgkinson
“Just picked up some awful food from here. The rice was really hard and the noodles were a sticky lump. The chicken balls were ok”
