Customer Review Summary
Rice draws the most praise, with the special fried rice called very good and generous with the meat, and another reviewer calling the rice great. Close behind is the salt and pepper chicken, described as smoky and a bit different to the standard. One first-time diner found the food hot and fresh, and the staff friendly and welcoming. The curry sauce is the most repeated complaint, likened to dish water and to water with no meat, and one reviewer who likes the food makes their own curry at home before ordering. One reviewer reports finding what looks like a mouse dropping in their food. Service complaints are specific too. Staff refused a tray of noodles, rice and sauce without the sauce for two young children, and a phone order was written down wrongly, with the customer expected to return the wrong dish themselves. Another was told to hurry because the shop was closing, then got home to rice that was stone cold.

“New local chinese, salt and pepper chicken is smoky and worth trying, a bit different to the standard. Special fried rice is also very good - generous with the meat.”

“Food is usually pretty good but on this occasion didnt even get chance to have any as they refused to do a tray of noodles, rice and sauce minus the sauce for my 2 young kids as they dont like the curry sauce but in their words it wasnt worth it. Bearing in mind its on the menu I just didnt want the sauce, they have made it for me multiple times in the past. This is the second time ive ended up ordering from elsewhere due to the god awful service and now I really wont be back here ive just spent £55 elsewhere. Just terrible customer service”
