Customer Review Summary
Regulars praise the aromatic duck pancakes and Singapore fried rice, with the crispy chilli chicken also singled out, but reliability is a recurring issue: one reviewer got overcooked pancakes replaced within fifteen minutes, another waited over two hours with curry and chicken satay arriving cold, and one reported cold, undercooked chicken nuggets and soggy chip bags, prompting them to stop ordering.

“Ordered through foodhub. This was our go to Chinese, not anymore. Food was cold on arrival, chicken nuggets were disgusting, anaemic and not thoroughly cooked. Chips dry and not edible. Chip bags had decintegrated through sweat. Tonight you have lost a regular customer”

“So we go in every weekend to order our Chinese, the service is always great, friendly and polite. This one time though, when we got home , the pancakes for the aromatic duck, we're over cooked, they were un edible. We phoned them, and within 15 minutes they delivered new pancakes. We were so impressed with this. They really look after they're regular customers. Highly recommend, food is always great, apart from this one occasion. Which they fixed .”
