Customer Review Summary
Fried rice draws the most attention. One reviewer praises the Singapore fried rice as moist with meat, prawn, bean sprouts and mushroom, though wanting more heat, and another found the king prawn egg fried rice dry and separate rather than sticky. Close behind are crispy sweet and sour pork balls with a balanced sauce, crispy chilli chicken and vegetable rolls. A dry fried chicken chow mien came in a portion one reviewer could not finish in one go. Others are far less happy: one calls the special fried rice and chow mein very greasy, with a little rice topped with meat and veg, and another reports small portions, tough meat and a wrong order that left a staff member agitated and blaming them. One reviewer reports food poisoning the day after a return visit. Delivery is described as quick and piping hot, and one order placed just before closing was taken happily and arrived fast.
