Customer Review Summary
Reviewers split sharply, with most complaints centered on food arriving late or cold and on the takeaway staples themselves. Chips come up repeatedly as soggy or half raw, and ribs are described as cold or as bony knuckle ends with no meat. Others fault the chow mein for too much soy, the rice as awful, the noodles as slimy, and a sweet and sour king prawn that tasted only of batter. A couple of longtime customers say the food has gone downhill and tastes pre cooked and greasy, and one says the curry sauce did not taste of curry. One reviewer reports that two diners became ill after a set menu, and another describes a rude phone exchange over delivery timing. Praise comes from a few diners who found the food not greasy or heavy, the spices and flavours right, the portions good and the service quick, though one calls the portions a little small. One reviewer notes that staff were kind and helpful when answering a question about ingredients.

“Chow mein had way to much soy, so was to salty to eat, and the spare ribs were knuckle ends that the butcher would throw away with no meat, will never use them again, if you want a decent Chinese meal, Don't go here!”
