Customer Review Summary
Chow mein is the dish reviewers name most, though opinions split. One praises the 88 special chow mein with satay sauce and another the dry chow mein, while a third calls the chicken chow mein awful. Those happy with the takeaway describe quick service, friendly staff, generous portions and tasty food. One recommends the egg foo yung and chips and curry sauce, and another enjoyed the kungpo special and honey king prawn. Complaints are more numerous and specific. The ribs are criticised twice, as tiny and mostly bone in the munchy box in one account and as fatty and mush in another, and the chicken balls are called anemic and tasteless. One diner found the szechuan chicken sauce tasted like sweet and sour. Another says the special fried rice came without the four meats and with shrimp instead of king prawns, and calls it bland and overpriced. One reviewer describes a wrong delivery order, with blame shifted between customer, chef and driver and no apology offered.

“It’s just a bit rubbish, why are the ribs in the munchy box tiny and mostly bone. I have tried many dishes to try and like this takeaway but I just can’t find a nice one.”
