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.
