Customer Review Summary
Salt and pepper chicken draws repeat praise, with several describing it as fresh and one requesting more five spice for aroma. Close behind, orders of special curry, chow mein, and sweet and sour chicken are called tasty and generously portioned, with regulars ordering twice a week and citing fast, friendly delivery and a polite man taking phone orders. Several also single out the clean, spotless collection area. Complaints recur around inconsistency: one reviewer found chowmein and egg fried rice rubbery and dry with sauce tasting bitter instead of sweet, another described duck as blanched rather than crispy and noodles as tasteless, and a third reported undercooked, unseasoned food and cold delivery after a rude phone call. One reviewer reports falling sick the same night after eating a portion of their order. Despite this, several call it the best Chinese in the area and say they'll keep returning.

“Food was late, called the shop and spoke to a lady with absolutely zero manners, very rude on the phone. She had so much attitude that when my food arrived freezing cold, I felt like taking back to the shop and tipping it on her nasty head”

“Ordered salt and pepper chicken and sweet and sour chicken, both were fresh as it should be. Keep it up guys. It would be much better if the salt and pepper chicken had five spices (to taste aromatic).”

“Food took long and it was all undercooked and unseasoned (literally couldn’t taste any soy sauce or even salt). I ate about a quarter of my order and fell sick the same night, all I ate came out, it was disgusting. Had to bin the remaining/most of the food I got.”

“I wish I could mark higher. I’m so fussy to the point I haven’t ordered a Chinese in years. I ordered for collection spoke to the most loveliest man! Ready on time piping hot food! So clean inside, smells amazing also! Will order again and again! ❤️ I would have posted a photo if I never ate it as quick as I did!!”
