Customer Review Summary

Diners most often single out the sweet and sour chicken as a standout, with several calling it flavorful and well-prepared. Close behind are the generous portions and the 50/50 chicken curry special with half fried rice and half chips, praised for its authentic Hong Kong fish ball curry taste. A few note the food can arrive very oily, with one order of roasted duck in Peking sauce and chicken strips criticized for excess oil. Service complaints include a cancelled order after payment and a report of rude phone staff when a diner complained about dry, sauceless chicken. One reviewer describes receiving inedible food. Several also highlight the late-night availability as a draw.

Location

How this listing is sourced

Where the data comes from
Name, address, hours, contact details, amenities, ratings and review counts come from the business's publicly available profile data — not from the owner and not from paid submissions.
How it stays current
Every listing is re-checked on a recurring crawl, and anything reported as wrong is corrected at the source rather than patched on the page.
How it is ranked
Placement is never sold. Every business on the page is ordered and compared using the same public signals, so an owner cannot pay to move up.
