“The best Chinese takeaway I've had in a long time. The chicken in the curry was beautiful and not the usual boiled rubbish to you seem to get from most these days. All the food orders was lovely which included, salt and pepper ribs, shrimp fried rice, Chinese chicken curry, veg spring rolls. We definitely will be back and all that for £33 plenty enough for 3/4 people.”

“Where to start with this place 🤢 I've never in my life have I had a chicken fried rice where the rice is in a big solid clump and the chicken just lying on the top, obviously the rice was already pre cooked hours beforehand from the looks of it. The chips were a mix of dark brown and light brown again obviously cooked at different times. The only thing I think was actually ok was the carton of curry sauce. The hotplate section above the fryer was full to the brim with containers full of food that were waiting to be delivered I'm assuming, to anyone who uses this place regularly must not be very fussy with what they eat as far as I'm concerned, I only used this place because I fancied a Chinese and the Polaris in biddick hall is closed on Monday, but I will not be using the place even again,,most disgusting food in the area.”

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the chicken curry, calling it beautiful and not the boiled chicken they find elsewhere, with the chips close behind as proper ones rather than frozen. Salt and pepper ribs, shrimp fried rice, Singapore fried rice and veg spring rolls come up as tasty, and one Christmas Eve order singled out the crispy beef cantonese and crispy beef honey chilli, arriving hot. Several are long-time regulars, including one who has come since childhood and another whose late father favoured it, and a cashier is described as having a genuine smile. The complaints are sharper but fewer. One reviewer describes chicken fried rice in a solid clump with the chicken sitting on top, chips in mixed shades of brown, and a hotplate crowded with waiting containers, with only the curry sauce rated ok. Another waited two hours for delivery, phoned twice, and was told "it's raining, that's why". A former weekly regular reports rude staff and has switched to another takeaway.
