Customer Review Summary
Crispy beef is the dish reviewers name most often among the praised orders, with salt and chilli chips, salt and chilli chicken, special fried rice, beef curry and sweet and sour chicken close behind. Tender chicken and king prawns also earn praise, and a few say the food arrived piping hot and the delivery matched the time given. One reviewer notes the kitchen was helpful preparing a meal to suit a family member's needs, and another credits the owners with supporting the community. Complaints are concrete and recur. Two reviewers call the chicken balls solid or rubbery, and others describe chips as rock hard or reheated from the day before. One found the chicken curry salty with a powdery taste and the beef chewy. Delivery draws the sharpest criticism. One order was confirmed on Just Eat, then cancelled as it was due because the address was judged too far out. Another reviewer says the phone was left off the hook while a fish and chips order ran late.

“It arrived piping hot, I have only taken 1 mouthful and I just know it is going to be gorgeous. We have special fried rice, beef curry, sweet and sour chicken and crispy beef. I am so looking forward to finishing the meal and will definitely be ording from here again.”

“Ordered as soon as it opened waited 50 mins for food which is OK as wasn't in a rush but when food arrived and served it up the chicken fried rice was like warm at best chicken in the chicken balls solid and noodles were OK but nothing special definitely will not order from here again avoid at all costs”

“It says a lot when we come back here as our regular takeaway night meal. They have been amazingly helpful in preparing the food in a way that enables our autistic son to enjoy Chinese with the family. Highly recommend salt and chilli chips, crispy beef, foo yung, salt and chilli chicken, anything with chicken or king prawns (they are genuinely tender) and the rice is lovely.”

“The food is lovely and the owners are amazing with community, by supporting the fight against the quarry .”

“Quick delivery. But food was awful. Chicken curry had a very salty powder taste. Soft noodles had an awful taste to them to the point it I was heaving. Chips was rock hard, sausage looked anemic. Beef with onions- onions was good beef very chewy. Not happy. Always order from here. Won’t be ordering again!!!”
