Customer Review Summary
Regulars return for the salt and pepper box, described as tasty with great portion sizes, and one family says nothing else compares when it is closed. Kung Po chicken is praised for plenty of meat, and several reviewers describe friendly owners, consistently good food and quick service, including one order placed late on the way home where every detail was right. The criticism is sharper and recurs. Two reviewers report the chowmein arriving in a small, half-filled container with little meat and call it overpriced. One adds that the meat is low quality and the chilli oil dingy, and another says the salt and chilli prawns were not cooked properly. Two separate reviews describe a phone order quoted well above the website menu, with the owners refusing to honour the online price. On collection, the food for a party of 11 had not been cooked.
