Customer Review Summary
Diners most often single out the soups, praising the hot and sour, wanton, and sweet corn as fresh and tasty. Close behind are the chow mein and fried rice, repeatedly described as good and cooked to perfection, with generous portions at reasonable prices. Several note quick turnaround, even during busy periods like the Dufftown Highland Games weekend. A recurring positive is the vegetarian options, called the best in the area by one reviewer. One diner reports a serious error: a vegetarian ordered a vegetarian ‘chicken’ curry but received real chicken, and describes a defensive response from a young staff member on the phone, though the owner later apologised and replaced the meal. Several suggest ordering in person to avoid phone misunderstandings.

“Great family run business. We had takeaway twice and both times the food was fresh, tasty and portions were brilliant and so reasonable. My favourite were the soups. The hot and sour, wanton, sweet corn. All great. The kids handle the phone and I believe the parents cook. I do feel for the kids who manage the orders rather than being home or playing with friends but I guess it’s life’s lesson being handed early. They take no cards so please take cash and easier if you go and order in person. It takes less than 10 mins to get your order ready. I called twice but they did not get what I wanted on the phone. Go support this local business.”

“If you’re from anywhere but a small town you’ll be sadly disappointed.an old school chinese takeaway (think staffed by the poor kids of some Chinese parents) served 2-4 generic sauces poured over generic proteins. Forget any idea if authentic dishes - order Pak Choi, get cabbage; order bean curd, get the worst over salty pre made fried soft tofu. You can hear the cooks working hard on the woks - why not make tasty real Chinese food? Also only take cash - come on it’s 2026! Ironically in China they would only take payment by app. Come on owners - you can do better!”

“Definitely the best Chinese in Moray. Fantastic, fresh tasting food with excellent service. Everything I've tried on the menu so far has been cooked perfectly with lots of flavour. They have the best vegetarian options of any restaurant …”

“We were staying in the area for the night and thought we would try this Chinese, we went last Sunday 27th October just as they opened, the lady behind the counter was very helpful and friendly advising where i would find a cash machine, the food was fantastic, tasty and good value for money. Would highly recommend.”
