Customer Review Summary
Special fried rice draws repeat praise, with reviewers noting generous portions and a good amount of meat, though one diner was disappointed by the lack of pork and felt nearly £9 after extras felt steep. Close behind, the king prawn and beef udon get singled out as consistently tasty and hot on arrival. Many describe free prawn crackers and a fortune cookie thrown in with orders, and several mention phoning ahead for collection in around 15 to 20 minutes rather than ordering online, partly to save on costs, though one reviewer flags cash only on collection and another notes parking can be an issue. One diner ordered the wrong dish by mistake and staff made the missing item for them at pickup. The order taker and chefs are repeatedly described as nice, with multiple reviewers calling it their regular or only Chinese takeaway.

“Absolutely love this place and the service. I have been ordering food from here for a long time and each time the food has been the same and never disappointed!!!”

“Our local Chinese has never let us down - 5+ orders from here in the year that we have been here. We usually phone ahead rather than using an online platform to save costs for us, and them! Food is always tasty, usually ready for collection in less than 20 minutes from ordering and always hot. They are lovely guys who usually throw in a couple of freebies too! Cash only on collection however but no complaints there!”

“Love this place! Generous portions, decent pricing. Everything I’ve tried has been spot on. The guy who takes your order is dead nice, and the free prawn crackers and fortune cookie with any size order is a lovely touch”

“Without a doubt my new favourite Chinese takeaway, and I've been looking (and failing) for quite some time now, trust me. It's not even close. Crispy, saucy, and delicious! Will most definitely be back for more.”

“This is the perfect takeaway. It's fast (normally 15 mins for collection), it's super tasty and clearly all prepared fresh to order, and it's very affordable. And the service is always fantastic. We've been going for years and it's as good as ever. Couldn't recommend them enough!”
