Customer Review Summary
Delivery reliability is the recurring theme, with several reviewers describing missing items, like a forgotten order of fried rice, or food arriving stone cold after long waits, and one recounting an order that cost more than quoted with half the dishes absent. Others report smoother experiences, praising quick, punctual deliveries and generous portions, with the salt and pepper chips and crispy chicken in honey sauce singled out as standouts. A regular customer notes portions shrinking over time even as prices rose, though quality held steady. Opinions split on the family munch box, one collection order left the rice dry and skimpy. Staff are repeatedly called friendly, and one reviewer describes a staff member personally delivering a missing item to correct an order once they realized the mistake.

“I have not ordered from Chinese in years? OMG it was amazing 🤩 the salt and pepper chips and the crispy chicken in honey sauce.”

“I always go here but I must admit it has slowly gone downhill in my opinion. The portions are getting smaller while the price is going up. The quality is still the same, but you definitely don't get as much. Which is a shame.”
- Devon
“First time ordering. Ordered family munch box for collection. The rice went cold fast, it was also very dry and the rice was small looked as though it didn't have enough water cooked with it. The amount of food in the box would not suffice …”
