  “Organised a night out and chosen here as the place to eat, they seated 25 of us very well, the atmosphere was good, food was great, scervice was very good, the venue was clean but the toilets could have been abit cleaner. Only reason for the 4 stars and not 5 was due to the fact I had told my partner about how good the food was on that night and we had a takeaway but it was not like it was when we went and sat in the chicken balls was overcooked, duck was dry. Overall I would eat in the restaurant here but i wouldn't have a takeaway.”

  “I moved to Stafford a little over a year ago, and really struggled to find a Chinese that we loved. First visited here and ate in around 3-4 months a go. Every time we have returned since it’s been beautiful. Service has always been flawless. I really like that they clearly hire local college students, giving them an opportunity to gain experience and earn.”

  “We ordered Chicken Fried Rice and Chicken Singapore Rice along with Thai Chicken Curry. The taste was ever abysmal and the fried rice was very oily. The description of the food was also not given properly in Deliveroo.”

  “Ordered a takeaway though uber for the children and myself.. Only 2 of us ate the chicken fried rice.. It tasted burnt in places and chicken undercooked which I removed.. However my son and myself were very ill within an hour of eating.. Sickness and diarrhoea. We suffered all night.”

  “Ordered £75 worth of food for me and my family for delivery and there was no mistakes on the order, the food came quicker than they said it would and the portions are big! Order here fairly often for me and my husband but I was impressed with the bigger order too! Thanks again Definitely recommend”

  “If you want to go here for a take away that's fine, but don't expect great food for the prices. The yuk sung has no seasoning and is bland . The curry has more onions and mushrooms than meat . The won ton soup had more cabbage in than won tons . And they had coke and no Pepsi but when I paid ,on the receipt it listed it as Pepsi. The gave us the impression that we weren't welcome there so we won't be going back and if that's how you treat every customer,its no wonder your empty all the time.”

  “Probably the best Chinese restaurant and takeaway around the town. We have been ordering for years and it is always consistently good. The restaurant is nice and clean and normally it is not crowded which is a plus this days. Take away is usually fast so food arrives hot and before you starve too much. I don't know how they do it but I get delivered in Baswich in about 30 minutes after ordering and paying by phone with my debit card. If you collect they have the order ready usually in 15/20 minutes. My favourites are the Singapore Vermicelli, the bean curd in black bean sauce (tofu) ...but they have many other delicious options like the crispy chicken and salt and pepper squid, crab and corn soup, etc. We also visited the restaurant to dine in. The place is very clean, nicely decorated and the service is friendy and proffesional. I would recomend one of the banquests which came hot from the kitchen and you get the taste of some of the best dishes. We had the set B and it was fantastic”
