Customer Review Summary
Fresh, natural tasting food draws repeat diners, with the Monks vegetables (praised for its tofu and broccoli) and a shared order of sweet and sour chicken balls, chicken curry and Singapore rice singled out as standouts, alongside consistent mentions of fast service and a large menu. Several note the ingredients taste fresh and arrive hot, and one reviewer highlights that payment is cash only, requiring an ATM run before collecting the order. Experiences are uneven, though: one diner describes the char siu pork as rubbery reconstituted fat with a sickly sweet satay sauce that went straight in the bin, and another found the prawn toast and Cantonese chicken hard and chewy with greasy, over-browned chips, though the same visit's rice, chow mein and ribs were fine. Most reviewers, however, report dishes cooked well and say they'll return, with repeat customers describing it as a reliable family run takeaway they keep coming back to.

“We ordered Monks vegetables and a Chop Suey and it was one of the nicest Chinese take aways we have had. In the Monks vegetables there was Tofu and broccoli and it was delicious. We will return next time we are in Studland.”

“I ordered a take away Char Sui ( roast pork ) fried rice , a bean sprout chow mein and prawn crackers from the wok chef last night ( Friday night ) . I’ve had food from here before , not often but occasionally as I’m local . I’ve learned to avoid the chicken as it has been plasticky and cod awful in the past but have order char Sui pork before which is usually a brown colour with red edging and has been roasted and sliced . The stuff that came with my satay last night was the worst “meat “ I have ever paid for . Please see the pics , some sort of reconstructed rubberised fat ! Satay Sauce was sickly sweet with no heat and the dish went in the bin. My advise is now , save your money or drive to the next town !!”
