“Best Chinese takeaway in Urmston! Staff are friendly and always so welcoming. We loved the Chow Mein! ☺️ Will be ordering again.”

“Was recommended here but unfortunately will not be getting it again. The crispy beef was not crispy, has a jelly like texture, the prawn toast just tasted of oil and the bbq sauce was just like salty water in flavour, to name a few things. It may just be a bad day, but unwilling to try again.”
- Darryl Gordon
“Amazing food! Arrived hot fresh and huge portions! Salt and pepper ribs were tasty! Food was not greasy, it had the right flavour and the curry sauce 😋 amazing! First time here and will order again!!!”
- Lisa Cooney
“Ive ordered from here so many times, but really really disappointed with our food tonight. Not sure what happened but when you spend over £25 for takeaway you expect better. Salt and pepper ribs were dry and bland, salt and pepper chips were just disgusting, soups were nice, and our dumplings didnt arrive. Called up, dumplings were sent but may as well not have bothered, we had to throw them away. They did refund cost of awful chips at £3.20. Not happy at all when this was our treat and half of it wasnt nice, and 1 thing didnt even arrive with the other food. Shame...as will not order again now.”
