Customer Review Summary
Delivery draws the heaviest complaints. Several describe orders arriving one to two and a half hours after being placed, with the shop hard to reach and the food turning up cold and soggy. One reviewer says a driver shrugged off a 40 minute trip from a short distance. Others call the food bland, naming the chowmein, the egg fried rice and chicken balls described as pure grease, while one munch box arrived without its curry sauce. A reviewer also finds ordering a chore at the front desk because of limited English.

“I use to love this place always fast service always good food, I was craving it again ordered it said max 30 minutes sound, an hour goes by no food what so ever call the shop informed me the driver is on the way, half an hour goes by still no found and by the way I live around 10 minutes max away from there, absolute joke food came cold soggy definitely wouldn’t recommend after 2 hour and 30 minute waiting 👍”

“Gave me really bad food poisoning, for full context one of us was fine, I was not so lucky and everything I ordered was vegetarian so beware.”

“Firs time of ordering munch box B. Arrived back home currys sauce was missing so the entire meal was eaten dry. To add most of the meal was bland and tasteless. Won't be going back. 75% of the meal ended up in the bin.”

“Better prices than Po Wing further down the road. Food is nice. Unfortunately the lady taking orders on the front desk has extremely limited English which makes ordering a chore..”
- Jóvan
“Had delivery only. Food is delivered by the restaurant regardless of whether you order online through their website or via Uber Eats. Food is good - salt and chili does not disappoint, with good serving sizes.”
