Customer Review Summary
Most reviewers praise friendly, prompt service and hot, well-portioned food, with the special fried rice named alongside chow mein, chicken curry and a vegetable spring roll. Close behind are the salt and chilli dishes, the pad thai and a quarter duck with pancakes, and a few like the wide selection across Thai, Malaysian and Chinese dishes. Several reviewers say they have come for years, one since childhood, and describe the food as well priced. The recurring complaint comes from two reviewers who say quality slipped after a change of management or chef. One found the special fried pork balls chewy and the special fried rice made with white rice and missing its pork bits, while another got tough sweet and sour chicken, greasy egg fried rice and almost no sauce. One reviewer also felt the menu has too many dishes. Another group describes a smooth, delightful ordering process for a takeaway feeding twelve people.

“Was curious about this takeaway after it was taken over by new management with mixed reviews. I have to say u should only trust the positive reviews!! The service was prompt and there's a wide variety of Thai, Malaysian, Chinese and other East Asian cuisine. I love the range of dishes and have been able to try new foods every time I order. I especially recommend the salt and chilli dishes and the pad thai which i thought was absolutely delicious. Hope to see the business flourish here in the future!!”

“The business has been taken over recently by new magement after the Tang family left after 30 years, and I wanted to give the new owners a chance. But unfortunately the food is just not the same. The special fried pork balls were very chewy and the food lacked flavour. The special fried rice especially, which was made from white rice and missed the pork bits. Too many dishes on the menu too.”
