Customer Review Summary

Fried rice draws the most mentions, with reviewers naming the Singapore Fried Rice, the special fried rice and the King Prawn Fried Rice as tasty and a really good size portion. Big, generous portions and reasonable prices come up repeatedly, along with food that arrives piping hot and quick. Long-time customers describe ordering monthly, or for many years, from friendly people. The garlic with broccoli, aubergine in sea spice sauce, satay tofu and prawn crackers also earn praise. Grease is the recurring complaint. One reviewer found a lot of oil at the bottom of the special fried rice container, another noticed greasy king prawn balls, and a third calls the food incredibly greasy and low quality. Another found the king prawns with mixed vegetables flavourless, with a sauce like water and an overwhelming amount of cabbage. One reviewer reports moldy tofu. A diner who enjoyed the satay tofu also wished the menu mentioned that the mushroom rice contains egg.

    “Do not give this restaurant a chance no matter how hungry you are. Food is very low quality, incredibly greasy, and does not taste pleasant at all. You couldn’t pay me to eat here again.”

    “Me and my family have ordered from here since I was a little kid and this place never disappoints they have some of the best Chinese food in London and it’s always piping hot. I would say if you haven’t had food from here try it they are amazing and they always are generous with portions and good value”

    “I ordered the king prawns with mixed vegetables and was very disappointed. The dish had no flavour at all, and the so-called sauce was just water. There was also an overwhelming amount of cabbage that overpowered everything else. I won’t be ordering this again.”
