Customer Review Summary
The complaints are just as specific. Three reviewers describe tough chicken, jelly-like satay or sauce, and food that was oily and salty. One says the prawn crackers were oily with no flavour, and another found the flavour mediocre. A returning customer found the chicken curry slightly overcooked, the chips like frozen ones, and the inside run down with a black curtain over the doorway. The ribs came in a cardboard pizza box that leaked onto one reviewer's cloth car seat.

“Tajeaway service was a bit slow, but worth the wait, food was very tasty.”

“Visited this restaurant/ takeaway years ago and it was amazing 🤩 This time not so much, outside looked the same. Called ahead which was not good, lady could not understand my surname "chan" which amused me (not) Chicken curry boiled rice and portion of chips. Can't go wrong. Curry tasted like old school Chinese curry which was nice chicken a little over cooked, boiled rice top marks and the chips like 1990s typical frozen chips from your local Chinese takeaway Service just not the what you expect when u call or walk into a Chinese eatery. Blonde scruffy looking female showing more skin than you would expect at a beach party. The inside looks well run down, no more restaurant just a black curtain covering the doorway, shame really this was a really good place to eat. Lots of hand written menu like a school child has done for their parents. Menu looked like they trying to be something and change with the times.”

“Only place that was open at 930. Price was ok. Flavour was very mediocre at best. Prawn crackers were terrible- only oily with no actual flavour.”

“Chicken was as Tough as BOOTS! The Satay Sauce was jelly! Altogether the food was Awful!”

“Schlimmstes China-Restaurant! Laden sieht nicht einladend aus. Essen vor Ort geht auch nicht. Das Essen ist ebenfalls eine Katastrophe und ich frage mich wie dieser Laden jemals eine gute Bewertung bekommen konnte.”
