Customer Review Summary

Regulars return for dependable, generously portioned Chinese takeaway, with the Singapore fried rice and sweet and sour mixed balls singled out as favourites. Close behind, one couple found a meal special for two big enough to feed three and not salty, and another reviewer says the crispy chicken in yellow bean makes up for a disappointing Kung po. Long-time customers describe friendly, fast service, and one says the woman at the front desk recognises them every visit. The complaints centre on chicken. Three reviewers call it chewy or stringy, one unable to cut it cleanly with a knife, while others report soft chicken balls and dry ribs. One order arrived cold with the egg foo young missing, and another dish looked and tasted nothing like what was ordered. One long-time customer reports her husband was ill all week with food poisoning after chicken balls that seemed less cooked than usual. One diner took the dish back and was given a refund.
