Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return for tasty, piping hot food in generous portions, with a set menu for two described as plenty of food. One diner singles out the prawn dumplings, stir fry choi sum and sweet and sour spare ribs Cantonese style as favourites, and several praise the friendly, kind staff. One calls the place family run, one says prices run cheaper than local competitors, and another says delivery is always bang on time. A smaller group describes a slip in quality among longtime customers. One reviewer reports a tasteless chow mein over the last three orders and a beef curry gone thick and gooey, while another finds the seaweed stale for the third time and says everything tastes reheated. One reviewer calls the collection waiting area cold and run down. Another says busy periods meant delivery orders had to be warmed in the microwave a couple of times, and suggests collecting instead.

“What have you done to your food??? Used to be so nice been using you for years. 3rd time seaweed is old and STALE! Why does it all taste reheated?!”

- Louise Halpin
“Been using this take away for over 1 year always been really tasty, have noticed last 3 orders chow mein is tasteless, suppose to have a bit of a kick to it, but it doesn’t anymore. Also beef curry has gone very thick and gooey like it’s been warmed up. A real shame as always been the best Chinese in Portsmouth”

“Good food but can get busy at times when ordering for delivery so have had to warm up in the microwave a couple times so if you want a great experience and a perfect chinese grab it to go. 🙌 always tasty and good pricing”
