Customer Review Summary
Special chow mein draws the most praise, with reviewers calling it tasty and one returning after a recommendation. Others highlight fresh vegetables, tender meat, and generous portions at a good price. Opinions split sharply though: one reviewer found the food average, with mushroom-heavy chow mein and standard frozen chips, while another called a separate visit bland and undercooked.

- Natalie Hancock
“I really don’t know where to 5 star reviews are This is by far worst Chinese I’ve ever tried Everything was bland. Undercooked …”
- Jason Griffiths
“Very average Chinese. Not sure how it has so many 5* ratings. Same portion sizes as others in the area, basic food, chow mien a bit mushroom and onion heavy, nice curry sauce, thought chips might have been homemade chips as it described its self as a chippy but just standard frozen chips. Doesn’t deliver which is strange.”
- Simon Spalding
“Excellent tasty food vegetables fresh and not over cooked meat lean and tender generous portions at a good price and a very clean establishment.”
