“Ordered via just eat. Got a discount on spending £25 plus a choice of either free vegetable spring rolls or curry triangles. Huge menu. Good quality fresh hot tasty food and generous portions. Can't wait to order again. Yumtastic 😋”

“First time ordering from here as they offer crispy seaweed on their menu which the mrs absolutely loves with a chinese meal. Ordered on uber eats which was nice and convenient, unfortunately the food from here was really bad. Chicken balls were dry and overcooked, chips were also dry. Pork Chow mein had a weird smell and taste to it, as well as being dry. Duck dish was also dry and over cooked. literally the only nice part about the meal was the seaweed. Don't think I'll be ordering from here again unfortunately. Normally like to reheat leftovers the day after but this will all be going in the bin. very disappointed considering the amount spent on the meal.”

“GREAT CHINESE. Don't know why the reviews seem to be low. Took a chance and definitely my favourite Chinese in nuneaton. The food is great and menu special deals make it not too expensive. Only criticism is that service was a bit slow on walk in.”
- Tanya Stephenson
“Ordered via just eat but the food was terrible. Chicken balls were very pink and raw in the middle, chips looked like they had been cooked 5 times very dry and dark, crispy shredded beef tasted weird and the sauce was thick and gloopy. Won’t be using again what a waste of £50, most of it went in the bin!”
- Diana Mihalache
“We had a really nice experience ordering from here. The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavour. The kids’ meals were tasty too and they really enjoyed them. The staff were amazing, very friendly and welcoming. The place was also very clean and well organised, even though it’s mainly a takeaway. Great food, great service, and we’ll definitely be ordering again!”

Customer Review Summary
Reviews split sharply, and chicken balls show it best: one diner finds them nice and warm, while others describe them as soggy, dry and overcooked, or pink and raw in the middle. Chow mein follows the same divide, called right on spot by one reviewer and described by two others as smelling awful or weird, and dry. Supporters praise tasty, fresh, hot food, generous portions, a huge menu, kids' meals their children enjoyed, and a small but clean space with friendly staff. One reviewer calls it their favourite Chinese in Nuneaton, though service on a walk-in was a bit slow. Critics report dry, dark chips, an overcooked duck dish, crispy beef so spicy it was inedible, and salt and pepper chicken that smelled of barbecue flavours. Even a very unhappy diner called the delivery driver pleasant. One reviewer received a choice of free vegetable spring rolls or curry triangles with a larger order, while another found the crispy seaweed the only good part of the meal.
