Customer Review Summary
Most reviewers return to this Chinese takeaway for tasty, hot food and hearty portions that they call good value. Diners single out the ginger and spring onion dishes and the crispy chilli beef, and one calls the roast pork really good on a first try. Another asked for dishes extra spicy and says they arrived that way. Orders are described as ready quickly, including on a Saturday, and several call the staff friendly or lovely. A smaller group of reviews is specific and harsh. One found the shredded chilli beef dry with minimal sauce, another says the beef in black bean tasted microwaved in a very thin sauce, and a third describes the duck as dry and tasteless in a watery sauce. One was unhappy that prawn crackers are charged for rather than provided. One reviewer reports finding a piece of metal in their food. Regulars have the last word: one says they have been going their whole life, and another notes the same family has run it for decades.

“Do not take card, the shredded chilli beef was dry with minimal sauce, the beef In black bean tasted microwaved and the sauce was extremely thin and did not resemble black bean sauce. They also do not provide prawn crackers and want £2.90 for a small bag, I have never been to a Chinese where you are charged for these. Will not be returning.”
