Customer Review Summary
Most reviewers return for the Chinese takeaway food, with chicken chow mein, samosas and ribs named as terrific quality and good value, and several describe it as always freshly cooked. Long-time regulars say they have been coming for years, some since childhood, and one calls the newer menu items nostalgic. Service is described as quick enough, and the staff as friendly, funny and personable, with one noting a hint of grumpiness. One reviewer says the kitchen still made an order after closing while cleaning up. The complaints centre on the man who answers the counter and phone. One reviewer says he launched into a rant when asked whether they sold Chinese gravy, and another calls him very nasty on the phone, with both saying they will not return. A separate first-time diner found the main meals okay but the ribs fatty and the salt and pepper wings and ribs too salty to eat, and went back to their usual place.

“Can’t really comment on the food as I didn’t get that far. Went in and asked a man behind the counter if they did Chinese gravy. It was as though I swore at his mother - he went on a mad rant about whether I bought from here and why I would assume they sell it and that he’s been in the food trade for so long… I was gob smacked! No wonder it was like a ghost town. The man needs serious help and a complete attitude change. Safe to say I will NEVER give him my custom and advise others not to go.”

“The man who answers the phone is very nasty. The lady who answers sometimes is very nice. You are doing your shop an injustice allowing him to answer the phone after all we the public are paying his wage. I won't order again unless he treats me with respect”
- Claire Sanderson
“First time using this Chinese because we needed one open on a Monday. We were quite disappointed. Main meals were okay (not amazing) but the ribs were so fatty and the salt and pepper starters (wings and ribs) were so heavy with the salt that they were impossible to eat. Definitely sticking to our usual place from now on.”
