Customer Review Summary
The complaints are just as specific. Several reviewers found the food bland and tasteless: chicken balls described as soggy batter or like cannon balls, a chicken chop suey with no water chestnuts or bamboo shoots, egg fried rice with no soy sauce, and veg spring rolls that missed the mark. One long-time customer got crispy chilli beef with no beef in it. Two longtime customers were also unhappy with how complaints were handled, one told nothing would be done about the meal, another offered replacement rice but not the curry after the rice arrived cold, with a lady on the phone trying to explain the problem to the kitchen.

“Food came quickly but I am Sorry to say the veg spring rolls were poor. If you are utterly drunk and don’t care about the quality of your food, you might not care. But I was disappointed. They do allow to pay by card which is great. But as the picture shows, a very unusual and bland large spring roll that just didn’t hit the spot.”

“Been using this place for years but tonight’s meal was absolutely bloody awful! The crispy chilli beef had no beef in it and the oil it was cooked in was so old it tasted like pork scratchings, everything else had no taste at all it was VERY BLAND! I rang them to complain and was told that there was nothing they would do to rectify the issue. So £30 worth of food has just gone straight in the bin…don’t know what was worse, the food or the attitude? I would advise people to go elsewhere…rant over…they weren’t concerned at all with losing a regular customer either…”

“Regular at this place. Normally all good. However an off chance I got home (2mins down rd) and rice was cold. I rang to inform them. But wasn’t until after I’d already emptied rice onto plate with curry over top I realised how cold rice was!! They were willing to give another rice but not curry? What good is that?!! (Not even an offer of a discount next time!! Absolutely disgusted with the service. However the lady on the phone done all she could to explain to those in kitchen my issue (thank you) It was like it had been microwaved - Which would be fine…but it was hot in middle and cold around the edges? However they insist it came from steaming hot pot? As I say normally fine but I feel completely shocked that this was their attitude towards a regular customer!!! DISAPPOINTED & DISGUSTING… Needless to say I will certainly be on the look out for a different Chinese even if I have to travel further afield!! Customer service is Key!!! And I will certainly spread the word to locals how this Chinese ‘values’ their regulars!! Should be ashamed. All over some rice..? Really!!!”
