Customer Review Summary
Sweet and sour chicken balls draw repeat praise, described as lovely batter and not greasy, alongside chicken curry and chips that reviewers call high standard. Several returning holidaymakers name it the best Chinese in the area, citing generous portions, quick service, and friendly staff, with one first-time caller highlighting the prawn toast and king prawn and pineapple with added ginger. Against that, a recurring complaint centers on inconsistent quality: one reviewer describes chicken and mushroom soup that tasted like plain hot water and a chicken curry still pink inside, another found the chicken curry runny and the crispy beef soggy, and a third called the chow mein unrecognizable. A separate diner reports large orders get delayed behind smaller ones. The pattern splits sharply between visits praised as tasty and hot, and others where the same dishes, curry and soup especially, arrived undercooked or bland.
