Customer Review Summary
Crispy shredded beef is the dish reviewers return to most, described in honey and garlic, sweet chilli and spicy versions, with crispy shredded chicken in honey and pepper sauce close behind. Pancake rolls, prawn crackers, breast of chicken curry, fried rice and mushrooms in gravy also get named, and one reviewer says the leftovers heated up well the next day. Several call the prices reasonable, and a few describe friendly service and ordering most weekends or for nearly 20 years. The complaints are about logistics and one harsh verdict. One reviewer found the collection wait terrible and called it the worst Chinese they had tried. Another had part of a phone order wrong, though it was put right on collection, and one notes the shop is cash only and looked tired but clean. Reviewers suggest phoning orders in because it gets very busy, and one asks for printed menus after being told there were none. Several mention being warned off beforehand, then ending up pleased and planning to order again.

“Crispy Shredded beef in honey and garlic sauce was amazing. Please print out some menus as was just told they don't have any. Prawn crackers were lovely too. Definitely be returning.”
- Vanessa Sanford
“The place looked tired but clean, it is cash only and after getting part of the order incorrect over the phone, they did get the order right when I got there. However, the food we ordered was excellent, we would highly recommend them. So much so we went back again mid week for more. We had: crispy shredded chicken in honey & pepper sauce Crispy shredded beef in sweet chilli sauce Large hot & spicy noodles Fried noodles & chips We ate it over 2 days and both dishes heated up well again the next day.”
