Customer Review Summary
Chow mein is the dish reviewers raise most, with one describing the special chow mein as tasty with lots of meat and prawns, and another receiving three delivered quickly and hot. Close behind are the plentiful portions and the speed of service, with one reviewer collecting a phoned-in order ten minutes later and others noting fast delivery and no long waits. Several call the food consistently good and hot, and one says it is miles ahead of other Chinese options in Tamworth. Mistakes appear to be handled well: one reviewer had two missing items sent promptly after a call, and a regular got free crackers after a sauce error. The main complaint is a single detailed negative, describing dry salt and pepper chilli chicken with raw onions, cold soggy spring rolls, stale chips and a price that felt too high. A long-time customer also reports a cold chow mein once in five years. One regular who orders almost every Friday mentions the free crackers.

“Always accommodating, only made a mistake with my sauce once but made up by the free crackers I'd been given go almost every Friday!”

“Very expensive for no reason, the salt and pepper chilli chicken was dry, had no garlic, only three chilli’s and was just full of basically raw onions, the spring rolls were cold and soggy, the chips were stale and the food was cold. Extremely disappointed and won’t ever be going here again.”
