Customer Review Summary
Salt and pepper chips draw repeat mentions as a standout, with several diners calling the food consistently hot and tasty and pointing to reasonable prices and quick service from the counter staff. Close behind, regulars reference a loyalty scheme offering a discount after ten orders, though one reviewer found the offer expired before it could be used. Consistency is the recurring fault line: several describe quality swinging sharply between visits, with one reviewer going from calling a Chinese "10/10" to finding the chips awful and the chow mein full of water within a week, and another noting quality had "gone down the pan" with prices hiked. A more serious complaint describes a chicken curry order where only a handful of chicken cubes and no visible curry were found across four meals, with the caller offered extra sauce rather than a refund. A separate reviewer reports a telephone order delayed well beyond the quoted hour.

“I’m a bit disappointed, had one just over a week ago, it was amazing. 10/10. Told all friends and family it’s the one. To which friends went and had one and said it wasn’t great. We ordered again last night, the chips was awful, the rice was slushy , worse rice Iv eaten. Chow mein was full of water. Probably one of the worse Chinese Iv had. How does it go from 10/10 to 2/10 with in a week. Probably won’t order again now sadly.”
