“Ordered for the 1st time tonight after our usual Chinese closed, so glad we did as the food received was steaming hot and absolutely delicious, huge portions that has put my hubby into a happy food coma 😂, quite pricey BUT worth it for the excellent quality. Definitely won't be the last time we go. 1000% recommend 👌 ***Update*** Been back a few times and each and every time quality and portions have been consistently great”

“You better believe they’ll deliver to you anywhere going above and beyond ze old call of duty, even a metal box next to a WeBuyAnyCar vandingo for the main Mandingo. Too rights. Ahhh. You know that.”

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers repeatedly single out the set menu for two, with the house special curry and king prawn chow mein described as packed with prawns and meat, while the king prawn Szechwan and sweet and sour chicken with fried rice also draw praise for generous portions and taste. Many describe food arriving steaming hot, accurately ordered, and delivered quickly, with one diner noting it reached them within fifteen minutes; several call the portions huge and prices fair for the quality, though one reviewer flags it as pricey. A couple of reports break from the pattern: one diner found chicken fried rice rubbery and inedible at £8.80, and another received fried rice and special chow mein barely warm and tasting burnt. Some note the phone line gets busy during peak times. Several say they've returned repeatedly and it has become their regular Saturday order.
