Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often return to the Singapore Fried Rice and other fried rice dishes, praised repeatedly for generous portions and quick, reliable service, with several noting they've ordered for years without a bad experience. Close behind, dishes like satay tofu and King Prawn Fried Rice draw specific praise, and multiple reviewers call it good value with fast turnaround even during busy periods. Complaints recur around greasiness and inconsistency: one reviewer found king prawns with mixed vegetables flavourless with a watery sauce, another described the food as "incredibly greasy" and unpleasant, and one reviewer reports finding moldy tofu. A few others note excess oil pooling in containers or greasy king prawn balls on one occasion. Smaller gripes include unlisted egg in the mushroom rice and smaller portions on dishes like sweet and sour, which one reviewer notes is stated on the menu.

    “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.”
