Customer Review Summary
The complaints are specific and recurring. Several describe special curries and fried rice arriving short on ingredients, including a curry with one prawn and no pork, a special fried rice that turned out to be egg fried rice, and sesame-only prawn toast with greasy chicken balls. One calls the curry meat like boot leather in watery soup, and another reports an hour and twenty minute wait plus missing curry sauce pots. One regular says salt and pepper chicken and chips were inedible from salt and sugar, and that the manager offered no apology, replacement or refund. One reviewer reports five days of illness after a delivery.

“I've eaten at every Chinese restaurant in South Elmsall, and nothing compares to what I ate today. When I ordered, I wasn't expecting it to be good, but it was delicious. This is the first time I've ordered from here. I give it a 9/10. I ordered several dishes, and everything was delicious. It was well seasoned. You can't find beef and black pepper sauce in the area, but here they did, another plus. I'll definitely be back.👌👌👌”

“Ordered special fried rice and when it came ended up with egg fried rice, sesame prawn toast was lacking the prawn and was very greasy, pineapple chicken was just pineapple chunks chicken and chopped onions in a sweet sauce and chicken balls really greasy, won't be ordering again. Lady on phone was lovely and delivery driver also.”

“Very Nice food compared to other local Chinese takeaways, portion sizes are decent enough would like to see large fried rice available? Had a hickup last time we ordered missed out 2 curry sauce pots so had to drive up to get them as it was a pretty long wait for the food in the first place around an hour and 20mins. I would recommend people to try it”

“Started to go to this Chinese about 2 months ago and have had very good food. Generally order the same thing which is Singapore vermicelli, salt and pepper chicken and salt and pepper chips. Last night ordered the above and the salt and pepper chips and chicken was not edible. There so much sugar and salt it would have genuinely probably made us ill if we ate it. It was terrible. As this didn’t seem standard practice I spoke to the manager was and I was very polite and explained how it wasn’t the norm. I was met with a snotty, arrogant response and he wasn’t prepared to listen and told me that I was basically wrong; that’s “how it is” and some people “ask for more” salt sometimes. The way he treat me was vile, no apology, no offer to replace food or give us it free of charge next time or any refund. Absolutely shocking customer, you don’t know how to speak to people and we will never ever be returning.”

“Just ordered prawn toast, special curry and portion chips. £16.40. The only thing nice about the meal was it was hot. I will never order again from there, the meat in the curry was like boot leather in watery soup. prawn toast was sesame only. Sorry very DISAPPOINTED”
