Customer Review Summary
Reviewers are divided, and the sharpest criticism centres on fried items. Prawn toast is called tough, oily and overcooked in one review and chewy in another, while chicken balls are described as soggy and not cooked through in one account and fried twice in another. Others report a chow mein that tasted reheated, a special fried rice with dry chicken and a single prawn, ribs that were mostly bone and gristle, and a chef special combo box that was largely re-fried chips. One reviewer says a cheese omelette arrived as chicken, not for the first time, and the replacement left the rest of the meal cold. Another rang to complain, then sent photos and asked for a refund. Praise comes from a few who call the food excellent, delivered quickly and arriving hot, and who describe a helpful lady on the ordering desk. One reviewer with intolerances says the owner took great care over their order, and the shop sent a text when online ordering came back on.

“First time ordering, never again. Food, chow mein tasted like it was reheated, tiny and few prawns, mixed bits of meat, onions, stringy veg, no carrot, corn or other veg, as most house specials have. Sesame prawn toasts were tough, oily and well overcooked. Prawn crackers, lots broken, and a lot stale. Cannot recommend, at all. (Have not yet spoken to the business, but will be)”
