Customer Review Summary
Sweet and sour is what diners single out most, with one reviewer calling the sweet and sour pork unlike any they have had elsewhere and another ordering sweet and sour chicken balls with egg fried rice. Close behind come the friendly, polite staff, mentioned in most reviews, and the freshly cooked food, which one reviewer contrasts with chippies that keep food precooked and warm. Salt and pepper ribs, salt and pepper chips and hashbrowns also earn praise for their flavour, and the traditional fish and chips gets a nod too. The vegetarian choices stand out for a couple of reviewers, including beancurd in satay sauce and the option to swap mock chicken for tofu. Portions are described as generous and good value. Several mention that orders can be phoned in and collected, and the one criticism is that the shop does not deliver. One diner who brought their own container had the order put straight into it and arranged as they liked.

“Really nice friendly owners with great service also the food is freshly cooked unlike some chippy's that have food precooked and sat there staying warm 🫣 you can also make call and collect orders 😁 i consider it the best chippy around the area and even if I'm out of the area I have to compare them to this and ive still not had better. Think I'm getting hungry and will be getting something a little later on 😋.”
