Customer Review Summary
Reviewers who praise the food single out the prawn toast, called exceptional, along with the chilli crispy beef and the chicken fried rice. Two call it the best Chinese they have had, and one says it arrives piping hot. Others find the rice a little bland, the pork and crispy duck slightly dry, and the chicken balls overcooked. Free prawn crackers are appreciated. Service and delivery problems dominate the lower ratings. Several describe orders arriving late and cold or not arriving at all, with one saying the driver refused to take a cold order back and another saying calls went unanswered after repeated assurances the food was on the way. Orders also went wrong: prawn balls came instead of chicken balls, and the chips were undercooked. One reviewer reports that a request for dishes without certain ingredients due to allergies was not followed, and that they were hung up on when they called. Another was told the food was ready after the shop had shut, and says the person on the phone laughed when asked if it was still hot.

“Ordered food online for specific time but the order never arrived. Rang them a few times and every time was told is on the way. They eventually stopped answering any phone calls. Despite ordering from them for years, this was my last order for sure.”

“Rice was a little bland and pork in it was slightly dry but flavourful. Decent amount of prawns compared to our local that was closed. The crispy duck was a little dry but absolutely loads, could've done with more salad for a half duck. Prawn toast was exceptional and really enjoyed the chilli crispy beef. Always appreciate free prawn crackers but don't end up finishing them. Was a few minutes earlier than the time booked. Would order again.”

“Absolutely appalling, ordered via the big foodie app asked for dishes without specific ingredients due to food allergies. Request was ignored and all dishes arrived with all ingredients included. When I called them I was accused of not putting the instructions on the order and was hung up on . I’m absolutely flabbergasted with such poor customer service!!! I have been a loyal customer for the last 15 years, I will not be using them again!!!!”
