Customer Review Summary
The friendly lady behind the counter is the most repeated draw, described as someone who makes the effort to know her regulars and runs the place with a smile. Reviewers pair that with fast service and food that arrives hot, including by delivery from a friendly driver. Among dishes, chow mein comes up most, alongside special fried rice, sweet and sour chicken balls with not too much batter, and tofu in black bean sauce. Several single out the Nepalese side of the menu, including a beef curry, a stir fried pork MoMo with chilli peppers and onions, and a quorn and vegetable curry. Others describe the food as full of flavour and not greasy, and say requests like removing onion from a dish are handled. One reviewer who phoned about gluten free options was told the ingredients could be adapted but the fryers are shared, so a contamination risk remained. Parents mention the lady chatting with their children and handing them a sweetie or fortune cookie.

“First time trying it and so glad I did, the food tasted like chinese takeaways used to taste. Full of flavour and well cooked. Had Sweet & Sour Chicken Balls, not too much batter and chicken was succulent. Chow Mein was lovely.”

“The food is amazing (especially the chicken chow mein and special fried rice)! The service is fast and entertaining!! Due to my favourite staf member Rigsma. The atmosphere is decorated to the time of year Halloween, they are decked out and for Christmas they’ve got a pretty Christmas tree! It’s the best way to end the week on a treat!-amelia the best customer”

“Really like this Chinese, the delivery driver is friendly and food is warm. The food is really tasty, not greasy, and they cater to specific requirements e.g removing onion from dishes. Our new favourite local takeaway.”
