Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise the huge portions at a cheap price, with salt and pepper chicken wings singled out as crunchy outside and tender inside. Salt and pepper chips, egg fried rice, chicken chow mein and a mild curry sauce with a slight kick also earn repeat orders from regulars, and several describe a family-run shop with lovely staff and orders that arrive correct and piping hot. One reviewer calls the shop basic inside and in a rough area, yet still the go-to takeaway. The complaints are substantial, though. Several describe delivery taking well over an hour, or even two hours, after ringing three times to chase. One was given noodles instead of egg fried rice and no extra sauce on the chow mein. Others report burnt spring rolls, overcooked meals, orange chicken with a raw texture, chicken balls with barely any chicken, and a curry sauce likened to cough medicine. One happy regular suggests collecting or ordering well ahead. After a long wait, one customer was offered only a free can of pop.

“Absolute disgrace waiting nearly 40 mins for a chicken fried rice, chips and curry and it would have been quicker to butcher a chicken myself! Also 3 people came in after I got served but got their food before mine. You wouldn't think I had a home to get to after work! You lost a customer there like and I'll be letting everyone I know not to go there!”

“I have eaten here for a while now and its by far my favorite! I always get salt and pepper chicken wings and there amazing! Crunchy crispy but soft tender chicken in the middle and full of flavor. I love there curry sauce! Its not to spicy, just a slight mild kick but also lots of flavor. My order is almost always the same so i highly reccomend these items... Salt and pepper chicken wings, Egg fried rice, Curry sauce, Chicken chow mein, Beansprouts, And sometimes i have Salt and pepper chips, Mushroom or vegetable foo young, Vegetable chow mein. All really nice! Its a family run buisness and all of them are lovely! Its nice to see a family all helping and running a long standing buisness. Food almost always takes 10-15 mins max to make and is always piping hot! It is cash only so draw money out before you go collect, but its the cheapest chineese arround! I thought it was about time i wrote a review, i only write reviews when i truly love or like the food/item im talking about. Thankyou for the tasty food each time i order!”
