“My sister Always get her chinese from here. The other night Saturday 20th they spent over £40+on food for the family. It was terrible after eating it made them all feel sick, and infact my sister who has late stage cancer was actually sick. She said this is the second time the food has not been up to standard. It brought straight back to serve but was also cold”

Customer Review Summary
Most reviewers return for the generous portions at a fair price, with the crispy shredded beef and the sweet and sour singled out for crunch and flavour. Close behind are the prawn dishes, where one reviewer found juicy prawns and big cashews, and a chicken dish described as melt in the mouth. Several mention quick, easy collection, and one says food stayed piping hot after a 15 minute drive. Staff are called friendly, and one diner says they asked for enough detail to recreate a dish missing from the menu. The complaints are sharper. One reviewer found the chow mein dry and most dishes short on garlic, ginger or soy, while another says the beef curry was chewy and the chicken balls were soaked in oil. A third reports food that was only warm after a 12 minute drive. One reviewer reports that a family meal made everyone feel sick and arrived cold when brought back, the second such occasion they describe. Even so, one reviewer calls the sweet and sour among the best they have had.
