Customer Review Summary
Crispy salt and pepper chicken is the dish reviewers raise most, usually alongside Singapore noodles or Singapore chow mein, and they call it delicious. One reviewer travels from Wakefield for these two, and another returned after bad past experiences. Char sui with garlic, chillies and black bean sauce and fried rice also earns praise, with the order ready when promised. Several mention good sized portions made to order, fresh food, polite staff and generous pieces of meat in every dish. The recurring complaint is delivery. One reviewer was refused a delivery under a mile away even though the menu states they deliver, another was told the driver's car had been damaged near their home, and a third was told there was no delivery service at the moment. One also describes a rude phone call where the line was disconnected and then ignored, and another calls the food very average. Collection fares better, with one group of four walking home with orders that were still piping hot.
