Customer Review Summary
Special salt and pepper and drunk mixed meat noodles draw particular praise, alongside prawn toast and crispy seaweed, with reviewers repeatedly calling the food fresh, hot, and delicious with generous portions. Several describe it as the best Chinese or Cantonese takeaway they've found, some driving across town for it, and one reviewer highlights friendly, helpful service at the counter along with free prawn crackers on a larger order. A few note the collection only, cash only setup as a minor surprise rather than a complaint. Against this, some experiences diverge sharply: one reviewer found the salt and pepper chips and fried rice bland with an unpleasant chicken texture, and another received a chow mein that was mostly noodles and tough prawns with no vegetables, leaving both saying they would not return. A couple of others wished for a larger portion of chips specifically. One reviewer also noted the shop itself was cold while waiting.

“Really good food, but I just wish they gave you more chips… the amount was so little! Especially compared to other Chinese spot. It truly would be a 10/10 Chinese spot if the amount of chips was a bit more 🙏🏼”
- Edward Ashton
“Great food for a Chinese takeaway we always go there. We haven't had a bad meal and the sauce are great.”

“The food is excellent, consistently good, by far the best around. Great selection of Chinese, Cantonese & Thai dishes, all equally as good 👍 👌”
- Andrew Procter
“After spending the last 4 days in Paris what better on your return home than a couple of meals from the best Chinese takeaway in Bramley.”
- Rebecca Pickles
“Unreal food, we drive all the way from BD4 to get it because no other Chinese we try matches this!! It is absolutely perfect every single time. Reasonably priced and the lady behind the desk is also so polite, really friendly and helpful.”
