Customer Review Summary
A minority report a very different experience. One reviewer found the Szechuan prawns arrived in sweet and sour sauce, the satay chicken was watery with pineapple, the salt and chilli chips were plain chips, and the aromatic duck was soggy with cold pancakes. That reviewer also found the food bland and lukewarm despite coming out very fast. Another received soggy chicken nuggets in place of chicken balls and found it too far to take back after collecting the meal.

“Was visiting from London, and have to say, this was one of the best Chinese I have ever had. Fresh, tasty food. Especially loved the king prawns in garlic butter. Cosy atmosphere inside. Overall 10/10.”
- Benn Moore
“There must be some real miserable moaning and fussy people who have left low reviews. They are talking shit. DBA is a lovely place to eat. Service is great, the atmosphere is also great. The staff were very helpful. Not to mention exceptionally beautiful. We went after cricket for some food with the Dunton cricket team. Even though they only do take away of bar meals, they brought the food outside to our table. We had duck, pancakes, with vegetables. Hot chilli salt chips, spring rolls, curry triangles. It was spot on. Good value. Definitely worth going. For the food and the beautiful bar maids and waiting staff. I'd crawl over 3 fields of broken glass, just to throw stones at their windows! Lol.”
