Customer Review Summary
Chicken chow mein is the dish reviewers raise most, and opinions on it split sharply. One describes fresh, well cooked noodles that were not greasy, with moist, flavourful chicken, while another calls it tasteless with terrible chicken. Several others praise food that arrives fresh, hot and full of flavour, with generous portions, friendly service and fast delivery. One reviewer singles out crispy duck pancakes and meaty ribs, though the same diner found the hot and sour soup flavourless and full of cheap cubed ham. The complaints carry real weight. Salt and pepper beef tasted mainly of batter, and another reviewer found all their food dry and cold. A third describes frozen food, a raw battered burger and greasy chips. Reviewers also report dismissive responses when they phoned about problems. The most detailed account says a different dish arrived in place of the chicken chow mein, and the owner refused both a refund and a swap.
