Customer Review Summary
Chow mein draws the most praise, with one reviewer calling the chowmein dishes very good and the special chow mein great, and another finding the chow mein nice enough. Close behind are the roast chicken and roast duck fried rice, described as very good and fresh, and the sweet and sour chicken, called fresh and tasty. A vegan and vegetarian regular says the dishes are the same good quality each time. Reviewers also mention friendly service at the counter and on the phone, and two credit the new ownership, with one saying it is in another league compared with a longtime favourite. The complaints are few but specific. One reviewer found the food good but not special, another objects to cash only payment in a town without cash machines, one regrets there is no delivery, and one reports flat cans of coke months past their sell by date. Several describe orders ready to collect quickly after they are placed.
