Customer Review Summary
Chicken balls divide reviewers most sharply. One calls them big and delicious, with a portion too large to finish, while another found them just batter and hard on three occasions since the takeaway changed hands. Praise elsewhere goes to the salt and pepper chicken, a spicy beef curry, the chips, and spring rolls in sweet and sour sauce. Negative reviews outnumber the positive, and curry sauce is the most repeated complaint. It is described as tasting like powder or of cream, and one order of special chicken fried rice came with it instead of the sweet and sour sauce it was supposed to include. Others report tasteless fried rice, burnt fried toast, rubbery crispy shredded beef, a Singapore chow mein that tasted days old, and crispy duck with fatty meat. One reviewer reports upset stomachs in their household after a meal. Service draws complaints too: a late Just Eat order, a claim that the restaurant had phoned, and an offer of collection only, plus a missing chicken chow mein. By contrast, one order arrived sooner than promised, all pipping hot.

“Ordered special chicken fried rice, supposed to come with sweet and sour sauce, which would not have been my first choice. In fact we got curry sauce which I would not touch with a very long barge pole. Too dry to eat with no sauce so could not eat. Very disappointing”

“Food’s amazing The salt and pepper chicken is out of this world I had to stop getting chicken balls from here as there’s too any!! And there’s only 10!!! (Not complaining they’re delicious and big we just can’t finish them) My family loves the beef curry It’s spicy and delicious and I don’t like peas and onions but in this it’s delicious The chips are perfects! The spring rolls are lovely in the sweet and sour sauce just brings it all together Yk.”
