“Haven't had a Chinese in years and fancied spare ribs and chips. The barbecue spare ribs were well overcooked. They were as tough as old boots and burnt on the edges. The barbecue sauce tasted more like gravy. The chips were hard and cold. Won't be coming back.”

Customer Review Summary
Most reviewers praise friendly, polite staff and good Chinese food at a reasonable price, with one calling it ridiculously reasonable and saying it puts other places to shame. Beef curry with boiled rice and chips is the one dish named in praise, and several reviewers are long-term regulars, one still making a long journey after five years. Close behind is the welcome, with reviewers describing a smile, friendly service and recommendations from staff. Busy times bring a wait. One reviewer waited half an hour and did not mind, while others say calling in advance works best, and the takeaway gives a time so orders can be placed from home. Not everyone was won over. One diner found the barbecue spare ribs well overcooked, tough and burnt on the edges, with sauce that tasted like gravy and hard, cold chips. Another found the chow mein sticky and mushy. One reviewer also found the portions small, though the food lovely.
