Customer Review Summary

Chicken is the dish reviewers name most, and mostly as the problem. Sweet and sour chicken balls are described as hard and crusty or half raw, and salt and pepper chicken as rubbery, dry or fishy. One caller was told the chicken is precooked and then reheated. Beef and mushroom with hardly any beef, a special curry with no taste, soggy salt and pepper chips and an omelette that did not look like one also come up, and several longtime customers say quality has slipped over the years. Others still praise the salt and pepper ribs, crispy beef and curry, with one calling the food superb and noting delivery across town. Waits past the quoted collection time recur, along with a phone line that is often busy, though one reviewer commends the young woman who handles the calls calmly. Two reviewers describe rude treatment from the owner or on the phone. Refunds were eventually given, one by a man who brought it to the door, another after the reviewer rebagged the whole meal and took it back.

    “Tonight I waited 40 minutes for food that was bland and warm. I had to ask where my food was. I have been going here for 3/4 years but not again. People who came in after me, left before me. I sat in the waiting area with 2 little heaters with no heat at all. Shocked 😳”

    “Just ordered at 34.10 order sweet and sour chicken balls soft batter and the chicken was half raw, large curry was looked like my nappies when I was 3 years old freezing cold spring rolls beef chow main bland and cold salt pepper chips was soggy and cold not much salt and pepper the salt pepper chilli chicken was dry and chewy could tell it was reheated food like dog food. Just rang and asked for a refund not covered half of it poor business no wonder review are bad best thing for 35 pound was the free prawn crackers. I still have most off it on the still have it on the side now more drop it back off and women on the phone was unprofessional put the phone down on the and was rude also. Will not order again guys be warned. Poor service rubbish food and very rude !!!! To be fair the outcome was a gentleman came to the door and provided us with a full refund which I wasn't expecting and commend them for doing so. Had to put this back on here as the outcome wasn't expecting but on that note I still will not be ordering from here again.”

    “I've been going there for a few years but the food has steadily been going down in quality. Just had S&S Chicken balls that were hard and crusty, not fresh and hard chicken. The Beef & Mushroom had hardly any beef and far too many onions. I won't be giving them my custom any longer, they have had too many chances. They have also been conning us for ages with the 10p for a plastic bag that never should be happening as they only take cash anyway. You decide where the 10p goes...”

    “Been going to this Chinese for over 30 years - and it’s the worst take away I’ve had from there - I’ve complained in the past but this was appalling tonight - owner was very rude - chips was like scratchings and the special curry had no taste or meat in it and was like wster”
