“This is a fantastic Chinese Takeaway. They take cash AND card. Fast and easy service. We have been here several times now, it's the only one we go to. The food is always excellent, piping hot and not greasy at all! It tastes clean and we have had alot of prawns from there, in a variety of dishes.. always fresh and NOT over cooked and chewy! After eating it you DON'T feel sluggish the next day or a "bit dodgey". Their chips are divine... Dare I say better than from the fish and chips shop 🤯 all round they do a wonderful variety of food and customer service is 5*. Really pleased to have such a great local Chinese 👍👏”
