Customer Review Summary
Fast turnaround is the most repeated point, for collection and delivery alike, and reviewers pair it with large portions and friendly staff. Duck draws the most specific praise. One diner loves the roast duck with cabbage, and another calls the peking duck very crispy. Others single out the special fried rice, tender squid and pork balls. Several say they cannot understand why the place is rated so low, describing fresh, perfectly cooked food at a reasonable price. The criticism is sharper but less frequent. One reviewer found the sweet and sour chicken balls to be tasteless batter with no chicken, and said the beef in black bean sauce tasted only of chilli. Another got undercooked chicken balls and dry spare ribs that seemed to have been cooked the day before, and called the meal overpriced. Even a reviewer who praised the peking duck said it could have come with more pancakes.

“Unsure why this place is rated at 3. We ate here the first day we moved in and loved it. It's incredible value, enough food for 3 people for £20, always perfectly cooked and tasty. The service is quick and polite. The bad reviews must be fake or from Karen’s”

“Very tasty Chinese takeaway & huge portions. It’s a little on the expensive side but for the amount of food you get it’s definitely worth it. Really quick delivery too - not sure why this place has such low reviews, I’m glad I tried it despite that so still highly recommend.”
- Stuart Clark
“Came in just for some pork balls. Ready quick and tasted decent. I believe this place is maybe unfairly rated a bit low”
