Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return for the Chinese food, praising the punchy salt and chilli lamb, chicken fried rice described as bursting with chicken, and proper pancake rolls that one compares to a meal on their own. Fish and chips come close behind, and the curry sauce and chips also get praise. Servers are called friendly and professional, and several say the cooking beats an ordinary takeaway. Complaints centre on wrong orders and execution. Two reviewers received the wrong dish, chicken in black bean sauce instead of chicken satay, and prawn chow mein instead of chicken, which mattered because one diner in that household is allergic. Others describe chow mein noodles that tasted almost raw, soggy chips, chewy crispy chilli beef, a watery curry sauce, and a Chinese set meal that sat on the counter lukewarm. One reviewer, unable to drive back, threw most of the order away.

“Worth travelling to this take away. Takes me back to when Chinese take aways did proper Pancake rolls which were a meal on their own. Curry sauce is delicious and chips tasty. Chicken fried rice bursting with chicken and flavour.”
