Customer Review Summary
Most reviewers praise the Chinese curry sauce and the quick, fresh orders at what several call the best Chinese takeaway in Loughborough, with regulars of many years. Others name the BBQ spare ribs, Peking style wings and duck with pancakes, and one describes a lovely delivery driver. A few also like the portions. The sharpest complaints concern the rice and noodles. Egg fried rice is repeatedly described as having no egg and no seasoning, and one long-time customer says the chow mein turned tasteless as quality dropped. Another found no prawn in the prawn toast and called the noodles greasy. Two reviewers report order problems: one received young chow fried rice instead of the noodles requested, and another got chicken breast in plum sauce with pineapple, then felt cut off by an abrupt person on the phone. Delivery is called slow in busy periods, so one reviewer now collects the food, which they say is ready much sooner.

“The absolute best Chinese takeaway in Loughborough. We've been going here for over 15 years and have always had a good meal. The service is very fast too and the portions and prices are very good too.”
- Sean Hickling
“This has been my favourite go-to Chinese takeaway for about 14 years but recently the quality has severely dropped. Tasteless egg fried rice that has absolutely no egg in it and completely tasteless chow mein have been the most recent disappointments even though there doesn't appear to have been any major changes in staff. I am extremely disappointed and I won't be returning which is sad.”

“Good service,! Nice place.. Clean and good hygiene. Nice people. However not what I expect . I heard some great recommendations And clearly very popular. Sorry so far not for me. Small potions for a large curry. Hardly any flavour. Not enough meat. And as for the egg fried rice it was no egg and no seasoning and extremely dried, again i paid for large potions. Not impressed. Such a shame really because I wanted to enjoy enjoy it but it was just average for me. And usually enough for two meals . Still found myself hungry . Maybe plenty other dishes are much better. Not sure I try agsin. Maybe, maybe not. Think I will be going back to my usual usual spot. You win some you loose some.”
