Customer Review Summary
Most reviewers return for food they describe as fresh and full of flavour, with the chicken singled out as not dry and the cooking called clean rather than greasy. Salt and pepper prawns and the snack boxes draw repeated praise, and the small boxes are called good value for a late night snack. Close behind are the special chow mein, the meat spring rolls in the starter share box and the hot and sour soup. Several also mention quick delivery and a friendly woman at the counter, who talked one customer through the menu shortly before closing. One four star reviewer calls it the best Chinese and chippy for a few miles but drives elsewhere for fish and chips. The complaints are specific and concern the fried items. One reviewer found the chips stale and the egg fried rice reheated, and binned the meal. Another received burnt chips, overcooked salt and pepper chicken and dry sweet and sour chicken, with free spring rolls offered instead of a satisfactory main.

“Me and my family are very fussy eaters, and we've struggled to find a good Chinese takeaway near where we live. We actually travel around 5 miles to come here, and it's worth every minute. I found this place on Google and decided to give it a try – I'm so glad I did! The food is 100% spot on. Everything was fresh, full of flavour, and cooked perfectly. The lady at the counter was also very friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. I've finally found my new favourite Chinese takeaway. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for amazing Chinese food!”
