Customer Review Summary
Longtime customers are split over the food, which some praise as tasty with fresh ingredients and others say has declined. Several regulars of many years describe bland, dry dishes, watery sauces, and food that tasted of old oil. One reviewer threw out a crispy chilli beef that was oily with hardly any sauce, and another found the prawn crackers brown. Some suspect the place has changed hands. Order problems come up too: two reviewers say the woman at the counter got their order wrong, and one reports being charged for extra chips they never asked for and calls the worker rude. Others describe the opposite, with friendly, lovely staff, a good first visit, and a local go to for six years with no disappointments. One reviewer who had earlier found the curry sauce watery returned to find it improved, with staff willing to make it thicker and darker.

“I used to go there 40 years ago, I moved back to Langley and one night after work I fancied Chinese cuisine and sure enough they are still there. They have been in that same spot for 50 years now. Take away only and also they are cash only other than that great food and lovely staff.”

“One of the best chinese takeaways we’ve ever had. Hopefully one day they accept card 👀 too lazy to withdraw”

“Used to always order from here... but I think its recently changed hands and the food quality has gone down hill... I got a crispy chilli beef and it was so oily and hardly any sauce. I had to throw it in the bin it was so bad. Rest was just average as I said it used to be really good.”
