Customer Review Summary
The complaints are frequent and specific. Collection times are the most repeated problem: reviewers describe waiting 30 minutes past the quoted time, being told to collect in 50 minutes yet waiting longer because cooking starts only after payment, and meals arriving about 25 minutes late. One reviewer says their order was handed to another customer, leading to another hour's wait, and the apology was four cans of cola. Several find the food too salty, with a bitter Kung Po sauce, a flavourless sweet and sour, and stale prawn crackers. One reviewer was told only at collection that it is cash only, and another reports a headache and poor sleep, suspecting MSG.

“Don’t bother calling with your order, you may as well walk in and order and then wait, as they start cooking it once you’ve paid so you’re sat there for ages after them telling you to collect in 50 mins. Very annoying, don’t give out times to collect if they’re not gonna be ready. Happens every time. And the food is mediocre.”
- Simon Allerton
“Really nice food, very tender meats and steaming hot”
- Josh S
“Ordered food for collection at 6:15. The lady behind the counter slipped up and gave our food away to a customer as we got there meaning we had to wait another hour to get our food. As an apology they gave us 4 cans of coke? Absolute joke. Going elsewhere next time.”
- Damien Martin
“Updated Menu as of 17/05/2025 The best Chinese in Whitchurch. My favourite being Duck in Black Pepper Sauce. The portion size is enormous and the duck is absolutely gorgeous. All the Chinese Takeaways in Whitchurch are very good, but this one never falters.”
- Ian Ashton
“Ordered food for 4. 2 of our dishes were ok. 2 were poor. King prawn Kung Po was inedible - v strange sauce. All dishes were v salty. Had a poor night’s sleep - dehydrated and headachy. Prob MSG in food too. Won’t return.”
