Customer Review Summary

The friendly man taking orders is the most repeated draw, and reviewers also credit the delivery driver and describe a family-run feel. Among the dishes, Thai green curry is called awesome and delicious, and diners also name crispy chicken, black pepper beef, crispy duck, and sweet and sour chicken with egg fried rice. One calls the hot and sour soup the best they have had. Reviewers mention plenty of food at cheap prices, though one says prices have since gone up. A regular who asked for no vegetables in the dish says staff were fine with it. Others describe a sharply different experience. Three reviewers say the cook looked dirty, citing a dirty coat or dirty shoes, and two found hair in their food, one in a spring roll. Further complaints include raw sausage, rice with old bits of chicken, burnt salt and pepper wings, fishy-tasting food, and dry dishes. One reviewer reports two days of diarrhea after the king prawn Thai green curry. One omelette went in the bin after the hair turned up.

    “Used to be the best Chinese takeaway in Thatto Heath. Haven't been for ages so was looking forward to my meal. Hot and sour soup was okay. Salt and pepper wings were burnt. King prawn Thai green curry tasted delicious; shame I ended up on the loo with diarrhea for 2 days afterwards! Never going back.”

    “Food smelt nice but tasted fishy, threw it away”

    “Always good food .. especially Malaysian! Menu leaflet has just changed .. more combinations and helpful options based on customer requests. Has just added a page of interesting explanations about the origins of popular dishes. Worth a visit.”

    “Lovely guy but l'm sorry to say he should clean himself up a bit and make sure his hair stays out of the food. Omelette not cooked properly. Probably the worst l've had in years. Had to bin it, after the hair. I tried.”
  • Ged Unsworth
    “Ordered Chips, Rice and Sausage with curry sauce. £4.70 not bad. Just the food was unbearable and I mean like the rice had bits in it like old pieces of chicken. Almost as if the wok wasn’t cleaned after the previous customers order. Chips were bad too, sauce was oily and sausage was raw in the middle. And then the guy cooking it doesn’t remotely look hygienic. Dirty shoes and dirty clothes. Bits of food on the side in the background. How is this place even open still. It was quite shocking to be honest. I’m just gonna stick to Aldi ready meals and air fried frozen chips for a nice easy dinner. Can’t get over how bad the standards are.”
