Customer Review Summary
Chicken curry with fried rice and chips is the order reviewers return to most, with several saying it arrives hot, on time and in one box. Close behind are the big portions: one diner describes a mega munch box of ribs, chicken balls, spring rolls and salt and pepper chips that two people could not finish, and another praises chicken fried rice packed with chicken and mushrooms in gravy. Crispy seaweed, special chow mein and satay house special also earn praise, along with friendly staff and a lovely delivery driver. The negatives are specific. One longtime customer suspects a change of owners and reports greasy chicken balls with a slimy centre, flavourless rice and noodles, and stale chips. Others describe BBQ spare ribs that were dry with no sauce, and a house special in peking sauce with only one piece of chicken and one prawn, plus soggy, twice-cooked chips. One reviewer says delivery took over an hour and a half, though the food arrived piping hot. The prawn crackers were the one item the harshest reviewer called nice.

“We got the mega munch box which was £24 it was delicious! It contained rice, noodles, spring rolls, chicken balls, ribs (with loads of meat on) salt and pepper chips and breaded chicken bites, curry sauce and sweet and sour. There were 2 of us eating it and when we were both full it didn’t even look like we touched it with how massive the portion is. This could probably feed a whole family. We would definitely recommend and will be returning. The only thing was it took over an hour and a half to arrive however when it did the food was piping hot. It’s £2 delivery fee we were 1.9miles from shop.”

“Bought a house special in peking sauce , the meat was battered which I didn't mind but most of the meat was unrecognisable except the chicken then only got 1 piece of chicken and 1 prawn. The meals are getting less and less and costing more. The chips must be cooked .then re cooked , tasteless and soggy. Avoid !! avoid !! avoid !! Never mind the dog enjoyed it , that's all it was fit for.”
