“Best chinese in town. Foods always hot and very tasty with very pleasant people. I'd highly recommend this to anyone. Been having takeaway food from here for the past 9 years. Never had an issue.”

“Great Chinese takeaway, prices about average, small amount of parking outside is the only downfall”

“We collect a Chinese every Sunday and wouldn't go anywhere else. Food is always very hot and tasty and we have never had a problem with our order.”
- Joseph Nixon
“I've been going here regularly for pickup and it's a go to takeaway for sure the staff are really lovely and attentive and they are polite. The food is affordable and for what you pay you get more than what other restaurants give and the times of pickup is fast once had a beautiful takeaway in under 15 minutes of waiting! And the food was what you want from a Chinese and the best part is you don't have to lose an arm or a leg to fill a table and I guarantee quality. I can't give any complaints and the ones I see are give negative reviews from people who don't have the stomach for spice or Chinese food as I guarantee the food is always quality and even if you want to pay by card, it's best for them that you pay by cash and people need to accept that”

How this listing is sourced
- Where the data comes from
- Name, address, hours, contact details, amenities, ratings and review counts come from the business's publicly available profile data — not from the owner and not from paid submissions.
- How it stays current
- Every listing is re-checked on a recurring crawl, and anything reported as wrong is corrected at the source rather than patched on the page.
- How it is ranked
- Placement is never sold. Every business on the page is ordered and compared using the same public signals, so an owner cannot pay to move up.
