Customer Review Summary

Reviewers split sharply, and the most repeated complaint is delivery that arrives very late or not at all. One reviewer says an Uber Eats order was still missing two hours after it was placed, another reports food arriving more than three hours late, and a third describes an order sitting unmarked on the system for over an hour. Calls to the restaurant go badly in several accounts, with phones going dead, no answer, or staff shouting. Wrong or missing items recur, including a missing main swapped for beef chow mein, rice noodles instead of Singapore fried rice, and drinks not delivered. Food complaints centre on salt and pepper chicken so hard that one reviewer says it chipped a tooth, burnt spare ribs, tough beef, and chicken balls with more batter than chicken. One reviewer reports the beef in a curry smelled off. The positive reviews praise generous fried rice and noodles, good value, and the Mapo Tofu as a favourite, and one says an on-time Deliveroo order arrived complete. One delayed customer still called the food good when it finally came.

    “Honestly, this is the worst Chinese takeaway I’ve ever had. I ordered the salt and pepper chicken and salt and pepper chips, and unfortunately neither was enjoyable. The chips were extremely dry and unpleasant, while the chicken was so hard that I actually chipped my tooth trying to eat it. I was really looking forward to my food, but it was so hard and dry that I couldn’t even eat it. It was a complete waste of money, and I’m extremely disappointed with the quality of the food. I would definitely not recommend this takeaway based on my experience. 😞”

    “Didn't attempt delivery. Left it sat unmarked for over an hour on the system. I tried calling and they just shouted at me and said it was left outside our house (Plot twist: It wasn't) Rudest service I've ever seen.”
  • Takoyaki
    “Really tasty food and much better value than a lot of other Chinese takeaways in Southampton. The portions are generous, especially the fried rice and noodles, and everything I’ve tried has been really nice. I ordered directly from their website and the delivery was surprisingly quick as it wasn’t peak time. Delivery driver was friendly too. Haven’t had any problems ordering from here so far. The Mapo Tofu is definitely my favourite dish.”

    “Unable to leave a review as such as we ordered door via Uber Eats at 8.15pm and the time is currently 10.16pm and there is still no food. Tried to call no answer and message states unable to leave a message. Think a charge back for lack of goods my have to be actioned.”
  • Suan-Teck Lai
    “Ordered a takeaway at 7.50pm, food came at 11.05pm - over 3 hours late. In that time i gave up waiting, had dinner and was midway doing the dishes. Food was good though but i would avoid this restaurant if i were you.”
