Customer Review Summary
Sweet and sour sauce and crispy shredded chicken draw early praise, with one reviewer calling the food authentic and the owners chatty. Others report salt and pepper chicken lacking real chicken, chips tasting refried in old oil, and a rancid curry sauce with fish missing. One reviewer describes becoming ill, pointing to MSG and guar gum in cheap noodles. A separate visit calls service quick and friendly.

“The last time I ate here, I was very Ill, Im allergic to guar gum, it is used in very cheap noodles, also the amount of MSG used is overpowering, this is usually used to cover up cheap ingredients, not somewhere I would ever choose to eat”

“Second and last time here I’m afraid. First time was decent but this time Chips were definitely not cooked in fresh oil, tasted refried from last night. Oil overused and the curry sauce was rancid. I’ll give it 2 stars as the fish was half decent but also half missing.”
- Ben Higham
“Went here for the first time last night to try somewhere new. Was not disappointed. The family that own this place are lovely and chatty, the food itself was authentic and tasty and we will definitely be back. Sweet and sour sauce was dark and flavourful, not light and gooey, the crispy shredded chicken was very nice too with real flavour”
- Harry Sparks
“Just ordered salt and pepper chicken with chips and a portion of battered chicken balls, honestly you would think they bought 20 nugs from maccies and removed all the batter, then deep fried them again. As for the salt an pepper chicken, they looked like Nik Naks and the chicken was non existent. How is this place open to the public?”
- Dave Kennedy
“Brilliant Chinese food and quick service! What more could you ask for from a takeaway. Staff are happy and friendly too, don't be afraid to ask for help with the menu or even a custom dish!”
