Customer Review Summary
Beef curry draws repeated praise, described by reviewers as rich, tender, and "melts in the mouth," with one diner also singling out sweet and sour chicken balls for their light, crispy batter and another highlighting the salt and chilli ribs and Szechuan beef as standouts alongside crispy pancake rolls. Delivery drivers are called polite and friendly by several reviewers, and one notes staff went back to retrieve a forgotten item without issue. Against this sits a recurring and serious pattern of complaints: multiple reviewers describe delivery delays stretching to two or three hours, missing dishes with no replacement or compensation offered, and dishes arriving tasting alike or wrong. One reviewer reports being served a soup containing meat and seafood despite ordering vegetarian, with staff offering no apology when contacted. Another reviewer describes finding hairs in a dish. Complaints about being refused rice unless specifically requested, and a refund promised then never resolved, also recur among the negative reviews.

“One of the best Chinese takeaway I have had in well over a decade , it really was beautifully cooked and not overly salty like some. The salt & chilli ribs were superb same with the Szechuan beef was very nice, pancake rolls were best I've had.. Delivery was on time and driver was polite and friendly.”

“Weirdest Chinese I have ever ordered, ordered a delivery 3 meals and a side, arrived without any rice, I phoned up and was told “if you want rice you have to prefer it”!!! Like having a Sunday dinner and no spuds!!!! Not even offered to run some out 😂😂😂😂 avoid avoid”

“I have always been a person that hated when the family would choose Chinese for take out night, I've never liked Chinese I could never get along with the food it was either because they didn't have enough to pick from or in some cases the curry sauce would just taste off to me. However this lovely place Lung Sing has given me a love for Chinese takeout that I never had before. I have so many more options and my favourite dish the beef curry is just so rich in flavour and the beef just melts in the mouth. It's my favourite takeaway and I'd recommend them to all my friends. The people that deliver the food are always so smiley and welcoming and if something is forgotten they go all the way back to get it. So in short the people are great the food is great and it's overall just an amazing experience.”

“We ordered a takeaway of various dishes, Probably because of the variations we did have to wait over an hour for delivery....but it was well worth the wait the food was hot the portions massive and …”

“DISGUSTING!!! Do not order from here! Told 1 hr and 30mins arrived 2hrs and 15mins later after 2 phone calls. Food was cold and dry called twice after and said I may be issued a refund, they ended up hanging the phone up on me! Worst Chinese ever!! My partner found 2 hairs in one of his dishes, and also they called me at 20 past midnight and spoke to me in Chinese and hung up again!!”
