Customer Review Summary
Most reviewers praise hot, fresh Chinese food that arrives on time, with one customer of many years singling out the beef in mushrooms and special chow mien. Prawn toast and satay skewers are called unbelievable alongside big portions, while others name the broccoli with king prawns, the szechuan veggie chicken, and sweet and sour chicken balls with crispy, thin batter. Several describe the staff as polite and helpful, say they will suggest dishes, and say they will make up something that is not on the menu. Two reviewers say they cannot understand the poor reviews. Those poor reviews are specific, though. One customer says the delivery charge came out well above the advertised rate and that staff blamed the driver, and also calls the food greasy and the staff rude. Another found the chicken chow mien dry, with only a few tiny bits of chicken. A third describes mushy rice, sweet and sour sauce like syrup, and food that seemed microwaved. When one order arrived without the seaweed, a phone call brought it to the door within minutes.

“We ordered a delivery. The food was here, hot in good time. They forgot to pack the seaweed, but after calling them it was delivered within 2 mins. The food was all delicious and it’s the nicest Chinese I’ve had in a long long time. Great value for money. Great customer service & will use again for sure. Thank you!”

“GREAT. delivery in 25 minutes. Hot, I only got sweet and sour chicken balls and plain rice. But, fresh white chicken, crispy, thin batter. Sticky, thick sauce, really fresh rice, no musty smell... I ate the lot. I shall eat here again.”

“These people rob you! Says £1 within 3 mile radius, then £1 per mile beyond 3 miles! I’m within 4 miles so should be charged £2. I was charged £5. I left it but went in there tonight to discuss it and she dismissed me and said it’s down to the driver!!! No it’s not! You advertise the delivery charges so you should honour them. Food is greasy anyway and they are rude!!!”
