Customer Review Summary
The salt and pepper munch box draws the most attention, called "brilliant value" by one diner but described by another as arriving "90% chips" with only two chicken balls and two wings. Close behind, several reviewers single out the hot and sour soup as the best they've tried locally, and a dim sum combo including wontons, samosas, prawn toast, har kau and xiao long bao earns praise, though the seaweed side was noted as unusually small and the satay sauce too sweet for one taster. Recurring complaints describe chips looking stale, watery curry sauce, and rubbery chicken, alongside separate reports of wrong sauces sent and orders that never arrived despite refund requests. One reviewer reports becoming sick after eating and says staff refused to discuss it. On a better occasion, one diner had an order remade quickly by the restaurant after an uber eats mistake, sent out with extra free prawn crackers.

“Chicken was fake and rubbery. Worst Chinese ever. Chicken curry very watery, curry had powdery after taste, same with fried rice.”
- Julia Johnson
“Placed an order, nearly £10 for a bag of chips, a tub of curry sauce and a tub of gravy. Chips looked liked they'd been kept warm for hours. Won't be going back.”

“I was in 2 minds weather try this place as rhe reviews from Google an just eat differ immensely, but I went for it anyway. The chips were lovely an fresh and pipping hot! Seafood Rice needed salt or a touch of soy but that's nothing I couldn't do at home I had the mushroom surprise again needed a touch of salt, We ordered the larger dim sum combo, Wontons and Samosas spring rolls and prawn toast we're amazing, only problem was how small the seaweed was ive never seen a tiny tub of it before which is a shame as this is one of my favourite sides and generally comes as a big quantity. We also tried the har kau these were perfection along with the xiao long bao, I couldn't get enough! Satay sauce was strange I've never tried it like this is was a little to sweet for me. Sweet an sour sauce was lovely And I also got a free gift of what I think was banana fritters unfortunately I can't bring my self to eat friend fruit so these wont be touched but appreciate the thought and kindness behind it! I will be re visiting, all food was pipping hot despite the distance Thank you dragon-I 😊”

“Such a shame. We’ve ordered a few times- salt and pepper munch box. What turned up today was 90% chips. 2 chicken balls, 2 chicken wings hardly anything else. Ridiculous.”

“Food definitely wasn't fresh , chips looked like they come from a museum , rice was hard , curry sauce was watery , delivery took about 15 to 20 mins , so how could it be cooked fresh and delivered within that time , I just hope we dont get bad stomachs although we threw a lot of food in the bin , won't order from here again !”
