Customer Review Summary
The buffet draws the most praise, with a reviewer calling the amount of food for what was paid great and the service really good. Close behind are the salt and pepper squid and Singapore noodles, which one reviewer calls among the best they have had. Others single out chicken in black bean sauce, chicken and sweetcorn soup and egg fried rice. Takeaway regulars describe food that is tasty, made to their liking and always on time, and one has ordered for many years. The complaints are fewer but specific. One takeaway order of chicken in yellow bean sauce reportedly came with about three cashews and no vegetables, the mushroom rice held a single mushroom, and the reviewer says staff argued over a refund. Another calls the food cheap, tasteless and processed, noting that everything on the menu contains gluten. One reviewer reports suspected food poisoning after eating here. Among family diners, one describes staff who stayed patient with the kids when they made a mess during a grandmother's birthday meal.

“I think anyone leaving good reviews must be the same type of person that loves Domino's pizza. It was no different to any other Chinese. Cheap . Tasteless. Processed frozen food from Hong Kong cash and carry. The fact everything on the menu has Gluten in it proves it's all mass produced rubbish. Such a shame .”
