Customer Review Summary
Reviewers consistently point to the mixed starter for two and chicken balls as favorites, with the special fried rice and Kung pao chicken also singled out for praise, alongside repeated mentions of fast delivery and fair pricing. Several long-time customers describe it as their go-to takeaway, citing consistent quality and no missing items over the years. Against that, a recurring complaint centers on portion size, with one reviewer describing a set menu of rice, katsu and sauce as barely covering a quarter of the container with a sliver of chicken. Others report a decline in freshness after years of ordering, calling the food "bland and hardly fresh." One reviewer describes an eight item order arriving with only six items and one dish wrong, totalling sixty pounds, with the business refusing to refund or send the missing food. A separate reviewer notes being told an order didn't meet the minimum spend for card payment.

“These are literally the tiniest portions Ive ever seen in any chinese restaurant. Food itself is ok, not good but passable. Well sort of. Had 2 set menus for one and was still hungry. Apparently a set of rice katsu and sauce is a set lol. You get a plastic container with rice, some sauce to barely cover a quarter of tue rice and the tiniest katsu piece of chicken barely 1/8 an inch. Will not be ordering ever again, disappointing.”

“We have just ordered from mr turtle and after reading some bad reviews I was a little worried as we’ve not had one in a while, well we wasn't disappointed it was spot on! Everything fresh tasty and hot straight to the door in less that 20 minutes! They said at least 45 minutes. Very impressed well done mr turtle we highly recommend you.”
