Customer Review Summary
Salt and pepper dishes draw the most mentions, with reviewers praising the big portions of salt and pepper chicken wings and ribs and calling the salt and pepper shumai gorgeous. Close behind are the orange chicken, a personal favourite with great taste, and the quarter duck pancakes, where the duck was lovely though one reviewer disliked the hoisin. Opinion on the salt and pepper chicken itself is split. One reviewer found it mostly onion, while another called it hard, stringy and not fresh, and also reports diarrhea for a few days afterward while unsure of the cause. The bigger recurring complaint is decline. Several longtime customers say the food has gone downhill, with one recalling the crispy chilli beef as a dish of legends. Others describe tough, chewy chicken balls cooked in oil that tasted funny, and salt and pepper chips one reviewer couldn't really eat. Service is consistently praised, and the young girls and the ladies at the till are both described as welcoming.

“Gone down hill since I lived in skem tbh the crispy chilli beef used to be a dish of legends. Staff are always lovely, cash only situation though”

“Used it the 1st time the other night and was wow'd by it. Decent portion sizes, brilliant service from the 2 young girls, and the food was lovely, and it was cheaper than the Chinese takeaway down the road, which is always a plus.”
- Claire Jones
“The chicken balls were inedible, even soaked in sweet and sour sauce. Tough, chewy and stringy, the oil they were cooked in tasted funny. The singapore chow mein wasn't the nicest. Big thumbs down from us.”
