Customer Review Summary
Satay chicken, served as skewers or in its own dish, is the item reviewers name most, with the vegetable spring rolls, chicken balls, salt and pepper chips and crispy chicken close behind. One regular asks for the crispy chicken in Peking style or swaps in black bean sauce, and says the kitchen accommodates requests. The gravy gets its own praise as the best they have tasted. Reviewers repeatedly describe big portions, food that arrives hot and not greasy, and quick delivery, and several say they no longer order from any other Chinese takeaway nearby. The complaints are sharper but fewer. One reviewer found the bamboo shoots stir fry so sweet it tasted like coffee caramel, and found the salt and pepper chicken less spicy than elsewhere after a long Friday night wait. Another reported a late delivery and called the meal disgusting. One reviewer needed many calls to get through on a busy evening. Regulars add that the couriers are polite and chatty, and that staff already know their name and address when they phone.
