Customer Review Summary
Lemon chicken and chicken curry draw repeat praise, with several reviewers calling out generous portion sizes crammed into the takeaway tubs and quick delivery. Many describe the counter staff and a delivery driver as friendly and polite, with some longtime customers saying they've never had a bad meal across years of ordering and rating it the best Chinese in Merthyr. Payment is cash only, which one reviewer flagged as an inconvenience. But the praise sits alongside real complaints: one diner described egg fried rice as tasteless and chips "like cardboard" on a £35 order, another reported chips "100% days old" and overcooked, salty chicken after a near two hour wait, and a third said two bags of chips were missing and staff wanted payment again to replace them. One reviewer simply felt the place "gone down hill" compared to before.
