    “Myself and my family have been ordering from this Chinese since I was a little kid and it remains top 3 in places to eat for me! I’m now quite a bit older and I’ve passed on the love to my wife who like me adores it aswell! The food is incredible and for someone like me who likes a bigger portion, the sizes are perfect! Thank you for always being so nice when we order and come in! And thank you for the birthday wishes and gift! Highly recommended! Love No.6 - Ben!”

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often single out the chow mein, with the vegetable version praised for a lovely charred flavour, though another pair of beef and special chow mein orders came with more egg noodles than anything else and arrived dry. Close behind are the fried rice and Singapore rice, with pork fried rice, beef in black bean sauce and generous portions called exceptional by one family. Several mention quick delivery and orders ready on collection, and one vegan couple says they were very well looked after. The spring rolls are described as absolutely huge, and food is called fresh and authentic. The main complaint is a former student's account of being charged more for a chicken fried rice with an add-on removed than for the fuller version, and of finding the dish lacking. One diner also found Singapore style vermicelli listed under chow mein. Regulars mention friendly staff and a birthday gift for a long-time customer.
