Customer Review Summary
Salt and pepper chicken comes up most often, though reviewers are split on it, some call the wings and ribs "nice" with big portions, while others describe it as hard, stringy and not fresh, with one reviewer reporting diarrhea after eating it, though they weren't certain it was the cause. Close behind, the crispy chilli beef draws praise, with one calling it "a dish of legends," though several say it and the overall food "gone downhill" compared to before. Other named dishes get mixed marks too, chicken balls were called inedible and tough by one diner, while another names orange chicken as a favorite for its taste and portion size. Service is repeatedly singled out as friendly, with the staff at the till and counter described as welcoming. Portion sizes are consistently called generous, and several note the cash-only setup. Multiple reviewers mention returning regularly by phone or walk-in.

“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”
- David Ball
“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.”
