Customer Review Summary
Reviewers are split, and the complaints about food and waits outweigh the praise. The most repeated problem is the chips and salt and chilli chicken: chips described as soggy, half cooked or overcooked and tasteless, chicken that was more batter than meat, and a salt and chilli chicken called both stodgy and far too spicy. Several say the place has gone downhill, with tasteless chicken and gravy, wrong noodles, undercooked beef and sausages one diner called uneatable. Slowness is the second theme. One dining party describes waiting for a menu, a starter and a main course with no apology, and a takeaway customer reports food arriving after an hour, freezing cold. Another says half an order was missing or wrong, peppers turned up in noodles despite a sensitivity, and a paid-for portion of curry sauce never came, with a bottle of diet coke offered in compensation. Positive reviewers call it a very good Chinese takeaway with nice staff, decent portions and a high tea served till 8.00 that one calls good value. One notes that a cash-only option at peak times can be inconvenient.
