Customer Review Summary
Praise centers on the cooking, with reviewers crediting the chef's talent and saying they have never had a bad Chinese meal here. The house special curry is called unreal by a first-time collection customer, and a regular always orders the munch box. Another first-timer found the food spot on and not too pricey. The complaints are mostly about delivery and phone service. Several describe orders arriving far later than promised, with the phone put down when they rang for an update. One delivery customer found the pork and chicken chow mein and the chicken fried rice dry, the bbq sauce too salty, and says a call to complain was met with attitude and a hung-up phone. Another was surprised that kung po chicken came without the rice the menu seemed to include, and that a card surcharge raised the total. Still, one delivery customer noted that staff came back and changed a son's order to suit his diet.

“Was told order would take 30 minutes, it’s now been close to two hours and still no food. Rang back for an update and the phone was put down. What an absolute joke when just trying to get some nice food on a Saturday night especially since it’s 11 at night and most places are closing. Would avoid at all costs.”

“Got delivery it took how long to get here. Payed £52 for 5 people and the food is not nice. Pork and chicken chow mein is dry alongside the meat my brother cant eat it he said tasted like flour. My bbq sauce is so darn salty. The chicken fried rice is again so dry alongside the meat not satisfied at all will not be coming back here again. EDIT: Phoned then with my complaint and we just got attitude and spoke to like we are stupid and got what do you think pasta is made out of etc. Asked for them to come and collect the food and have a refund as only one meal has been ate and thats not even fully. Not impressed at all especially when they put the phone down on you. Disgusting attitude”

“I dont know is my misunderstanding or so. In the menu is written menu number 25 - xxx(hundred plus) will be include with rice. I ordered kung po chicken which is in between the numbers and i dont get white rice. And i ordered fried rice as another side. 7.80GBP for chicken kung po 8.00GBP for Fried Rice 3% service charge for card transaction I paid 17.30GBP which is 1GBP more”
