Customer Review Summary
The most frequently named dish is the beef chow mein, though its reception splits: one review pairs it in a meal for four alongside egg fried rice and sweet and sour pork 'Hong Kong' style that arrived looking appealing and tasting great, while others describe the beef as tough and overcooked or find the 'special chowmein' bare of sauce with only a handful of meat. Close behind, the spare ribs draw the strongest praise, one reviewer calling them the best ribs from a Chinese restaurant with meat falling off the bone, though another reports the ribs inedible after a change in supplier under new ownership. Several longtime customers describe consistently good orders over years and call it the best Chinese in Taunton, praising a clean, friendly setup. Complaints recur around inconsistency, a burnt and off-tasting curry sauce, hard-centered chips, and one reviewer reporting an allergy request for no onion or prawns was ignored. One reviewer also flags it as among the pricier takeaways in Taunton.

“Special chowmein wasn't special at all. 4 small pieces of beef and 4 small pieces of chicken aldentae noodles and bean sprouts. I'm unable to work out whats special. There's not even any sauce. I had the hot and sour soup at least that had a couple of prawns in it. I wont be going back to this chinese.”
