Customer Review Summary
Egg fried rice draws the most consistent criticism, described repeatedly as plain boiled rice with barely any egg or seasoning, several diners noting no soy sauce or pan flavor at all. Close behind, the chicken chow mein comes up again and again as bland, rubbery, or oddly pale, and a couple of reviewers say they worried about feeling ill afterward due to what seemed like undercooked rice and chicken. Missing items are a recurring frustration too, orders arriving without chicken balls, mini spring rolls, or prawn crackers despite sizeable orders. Salt and pepper chicken and ribs are called burnt or chewy in a couple of accounts. Against this, one reviewer describes the fillet beef country style and Szechuan king prawns as a regular order, while another praises the vegetable chow mein and vegetable curry as packed with vegetables. One reviewer suggests picking the food up rather than ordering delivery, to get it hot and fresh.

“I haven't had food this bad in a long time. Everything was bland, pale and fell below expectations. Think boiled rubbery chicken and dry rice. Will never order again - avoid. £60+ order and regret every single dish.”

“£65 and no prawn crackers?! - and that’s not the worst of it!!! This has to be the worst Chinese in Sheffield! Half a duck was the same as a 1/4 from kitchen king (chesterfield road) No mini spring rolls Watery curry sauce Chicken chow mein was anaemic- rubbery chicken Egg fried rice had no egg and was boiled rice Singapore fried rice - shrimp had tails on some had heads. Salt and pepper chips had cinnamon not salt and pepper seasoning. All portions / dishes were tiny Forgot crispy shredded beef Given them a chance to make this right. Didn’t want to know. Woman on the phone was awkward. We feel completely ripped off. Don’t go here avoid at all costs. Go kitchen king.”

“Worst Chinese I’ve had in a long time. Didn’t deliver part of the order and spent a lot. Didn’t even receive prawn crackers.”

“Not sure why this Chinese takeaway gets such a low rating as we have always enjoyed the food compared to other places and it’s become our go to place for a standard Cantonese takeaway. The fillet beef country style is lovely and Szechuan king prawns is tasty with a generous amount of prawns (not true Szechuan , it never is from most takeaways - have to go to China red for the real deal!). Anyway , thought they deserved a five star rating to offset some of the rubbish reviews - most are probably moaning about late deliveries and not the actual food . People should get off their bums and go and pick it up hot and fresh !”

“Usually I like to give places the benefit of the doubt the first time I go there but this was so bad I don't even know how this place is still open.. Firstly everything in the order was cold and they missed an item off the order.. Dinner totally ruined. Noodles were rubbery. Egg fried rice was just boil in the bag rice with a tiny amount of scrambled egg added, never seen a pan or any soy sauce or seasoning.. The whitest rice I've ever seen, I can make better than this.. It also felt slightly under cooked so look forward to feeling ill tomorrow. Salt and pepper chicken was burnt, every piece had black burns on it that totally ruined the flavour. Prawn toast was cold and soggy. I'd comment on the chicken balls but they were missing from the bag.. Needless to say we will not be returning and I recommend you don't either.”
