Customer Review Summary
Curry sauce is the most repeated draw, with reviewers calling it nice, and the chips are described as beautiful. Close behind are huge portions for the price, including the meal deal, plus a sweet and sour chicken Cantonese style called super tasty. One reviewer praises the beef and black bean, another notes the chicken was not rubbery or chewy, and a few mention very nice staff, good delivery men and food that arrives hot. The complaints are specific. One reviewer describes cold food, a chicken curry that tasted like it came from a jar and burnt spare ribs, with only the noodles good, and says staff brushed off the feedback. Another reports a rude person on the phone and an order well over an hour late that was cancelled, then delivered anyway and charged. A third received an incorrect order after a language barrier and resorted to hand signals.
