Customer Review Summary
Sweet and sour comes up most, with one longtime customer calling the sauce the best of any UK Chinese and another enjoying a sweet and sour peking style dish. Close behind is quick delivery, with several describing fast, hot food, and one noting large portions. Reviewers also single out the crispy beef, beef curry, BBQ ribs, chicken with broccoli, Singapore chow mein and pork balls that other takeaways have stopped selling, while the curry sauce is called fantastic. Staff are described as friendly and helpful on the phone. The complaints are specific, though. One group said the chicken and prawn chow mein should not be served even to one's worst enemies and found the spring rolls poor. Another reviewer reports soggy chips with black bits and chewy chicken, and feels standards have slipped. A third describes a salt and pepper chicken box holding mostly chips with a few pieces of onion and pepper. One says the same order has now gone wrong three times, arriving with fried chicken and chips instead of beef.

“Have been going here for years, tried others around Launceston out of curiosity (and Bude which are all awful) but not a patch on here. Lovely, friendly staff and the food is delicious. Just placed a big order for tonight :)”

“My friends and I visited on holiday and ordered a variety of dishes for dinner. We were served by a friendly Cornish woman, but were greatly relieved when the door to the kitchen opened and we saw several Chinese people sweating away in the kitchen. We thoroughly enjoyed the crispy beef and the beef curry; the egg fried rice was also up to scratch as were the prawn crackers (which, as expected, were free). However, the general consensus was that the chicken and prawn chow mein should not be served even to one’s worst enemies. The spring rolls were also poor - they could have been frozen items that one can buy from the frozen section at Tesco. The chicken satay was mediocre - the sauce was fairly average but the chicken was a bit chewy. The sweet and sour chicken balls were acceptable as were the chips. However, the curry sauce aided the redemption of many dishes - it was fantastic. It must be mentioned that the dishes were reasonably priced, leaving us slightly disappointed but not outraged as overall the experience was fairly neutral. If I were to return, I would avoid the chow mein at all costs and choose my dishes carefully.”
