Customer Review Summary
Reviewers who rate it highly point to the chicken, naming salt and pepper chicken, crispy battered chicken in sweet and sour and chicken balls. They describe food cooked to order and piping hot, with the quarter duck and spring rolls close behind and friendly staff also mentioned. Several call it their regular or weekly treat. Others report a sharp drop in quality, and one long-time customer ties it to a change of hands. Fried rice draws the most complaints, described as tasteless, dry and hard, or missing egg, and even one positive reviewer calls it just okay. Sweet and sour is called stale, and the prawn version soggy. One reviewer found the Singapore noodles overdone, and another found the duck overdone and dry and the chicken satay watery. One diner says a chicken in OK sauce and a sweet and sour chicken looked and tasted the same, and binned most of it.

“There was no egg in the fried rice which was quite tasteless. The sweet and sour prawns were quite soggy and did not have much flavour. Very disappointing”

“Ordered from here today as my normal shop was closed. Fast service and counter staff seemed friendly. However the food was a real disappointment. Chips were rubbery and some were green. The Chicken in my dish was chewy and fried rice really dry, hard and stuck together. Disappointing flavours in the sauce too. Don't think I would revisit and look forward to my alternative normal takeaway reopening.”

“Really poor. We ordered a chicken in OK sauce and a sweet and sour chicken. They were exactly the same they looked the same and tasted the same, except the sweet and sour had ONE piece of pineapple in it. We phoned them up straight away and they said it should be similar taste except the sweet and sour should be lighter colour. Absolutely terrible. What we did get wasn’t even nice. Ate about a third of it then had to bin. Will not be going back. Ever. Awful food, awful service.”
