“Cash only this place but prices reasonable.”

“What an absolutely brilliant Chinese takeaway. We’d never tried this one so we thought we’d give it a whirl. Placed an order over the phone then came to collect. Only two parking spaces outside Shanghai & Dominos so be wary of finding parking if you come at a busy time/day. Our food was ready straight away. 5* hygiene rating is always nice to see. We brought it home still warm, definitely one of the nicest Chinese takeaways we’ve had in a long time! Lovely that we got some free prawn crackers with our meal :) We’d definitely return here! Taken some photos of the menu as I couldn’t find the full menu online, though I’d upload it for other peeps who were curious before they order :)”

“Although the food was quick after ordering the food was awful no taste. One dish put in a chip tray and wrapped in paper. Chow mein was bland the sweet and sour sauce was like water. Won't be going there again.”
- Sue Evans
“Takeaway for 4 adults. Food nice and hot and we ate it all but we weren't hugely impressed. My vegetable satay had no taste of satay at all, just spice so I was disappointed.”

Customer Review Summary
One reviewer calls it one of the nicest Chinese takeaways in a long time, with food ready straight away, still warm at home, and free prawn crackers. Others are less impressed: one found the chow mein bland and the sweet and sour sauce watery, and another found the vegetable satay tasted only of spice. One dish came in a chip tray.
