Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often single out the salt and pepper dishes, with the chips done with chilli getting particular mention, and praise the flavour and hot, fresh food. Close behind are the Singapore noodles, house fried special rice, black bean and tofu, spring rolls and fruity HK style sweet and sour. Several call the staff friendly, and a few say the prices are low, with one noting free prawn crackers on larger orders. One reviewer calls it the best they have found for vegetarian food. Complaints are fewer but specific. One diner found the king po chicken rubbery and tough, as if reheated or fried from frozen, with overcooked plain rice and green Thai curry chicken cut in pieces. Another says a pork-only order brings very small pork and lots of vegetables for the price. Takeaway does not deliver, so some drive there, and collection by phone order is described as quick, with the food arriving piping hot.

“one of the worse Chinese I ever eat . king po chicken was reheated on the fryer or fried from frozen the breading was rubbery and the meat was tough. plain rice was also over cooked even if you have pay extra . green Thai curry little be better but chicken breast cut on pieces not on whole pieces but fresh. overall not recommended for tourist who drive 4 hours read Google reviews and thinking about good food. sometime better pay more and go to proper Chinese restaurant ..very disappointed”
