Customer Review Summary
Reviewers repeatedly point to large portion sizes and quick delivery as the draw, with dishes like the beef curry and egg fried rice, pork chow mein, and crispy duck singled out for praise alongside friendly service and orders arriving on time or ahead of schedule. Several also mention the sweet and sour sauce, describing it as a little vinegary though still tasty. But a recurring thread of disappointment runs through other reviews: soggy chips and cold food on one occasion, a bland special chow mein and overly salty chicken in blackbean sauce on another, and one reviewer reporting boiled rice that tasted frozen and reheated, which even their dog wouldn't eat. One diner describes calling to flag a fatty crispy duck order and finding the person answering the phone dismissive of the feedback, souring an otherwise long-standing habit of ordering there. Portion complaints surface too, with one reviewer receiving a small plastic tub instead of the expected foil tray of chicken fried rice.

“We have been regulars at this Chinese however the last few times we’ve ordered, it has been a huge disappointment. At first we took it as a one off but it now seems to be the norm. The delivery has taken ages and all the food has been cold, the chips have been soggy and bland, the crispy chicken was also soggy. It has cost us over £25 and we’ve barely eaten any. This will be our last order unfortunately and we will be ordering from elsewhere.”
