Customer Review Summary
Chow mein draws the most attention, with several reviewers naming the 88 special chow mein in satay sauce and a dry chow mein as favorites, though one diner ordering a plain chicken chow mein called it awful. Close behind, praise centers on the kungpo special, honey king prawn, and egg foo yung with chips and curry sauce, alongside mentions of friendly, quick service and one reviewer highlighting the staff member on the till. Against this sit numerous complaints about accuracy and quality: a special fried rice arrived missing its four meats and substituted shrimp for king prawns, a szechuan chicken dish tasted like sweet and sour sauce, and a munchy box was faulted for ribs that were mostly bone. Others describe chicken balls as anemic and tasteless and ribs as fatty. One reviewer details a lengthy dispute over a wrong order, describing kitchen, chef, and delivery driver blame being shifted back and forth with 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.”
