Customer Review Summary
Praise comes from a smaller group. Special chow mein and sweet n sour chicken balls drew a "can't fault it" verdict, with food arriving incredibly hot and a lovely delivery driver. Others call it a local favourite, far less greasy than rivals, with good sized portions, and a holiday visitor mentions prompt delivery to a camp site on a third order.

“Honestly don't understand the recent negative reviews. 3rd time using this good little takeaway while we are on holiday. Nice food and prompt delivery to our camp site. We will be back next year - thank you.”

“This has always been my go to for a Chinese. Unfortunately something has changed and the last 2 visits have been really disappointing. Ordered crispy shredded beef on one visit and then kung po chicken. The sauces were identical on each dish - extremely thin and absolutely no flavour.”
- Donna Trower
“Oh my day's we've just used this Chinese. Chicken chow mein, all veg with about 4 noddles. The rice looked day's old and the Hong Kong sweet and sour awful. Never again will we use this take away.”

“My order was roast duck with cashews, the meat was white and tasteless, the fried rice was stuck together as 1 lump. The whole meal was tasteless. I have fed back to the assistant on the telephone but won't be going back. Shame.”
- Ryan Smith
“Had the House Special Curry. Bland and tasteless ! Definitely not Chinese food. Awful.”
