“Absolutely hands down the best Chinese I’ve ever had! Every single dish was 10/10 - we tried the house special crispy noodles and fried rice. The portions were generous, the cooking time was very quick and everything exceeded my expectations. You can really tell they take pride in what they serve. I honestly can’t fault a single thing. If you’re looking for amazing Chinese food, this is the place!!!!”

“Not great. Very expensive for the quality. The tofu is the worst tofu I've ever eaten, it tastes like it had been cooked, then frozen and cooked 10 more times, it was like eating wet cardboard. This morning I've woken up with a migraine and a really bad stomach. I'm so unwell I'd recommend avoiding this place.”

“I had sweet and sour chicken hong Kong style. It was very good. The chicken perhaps a like too over down...but overall it was a nice meal. Served in plastic not aluminium foil. Very efficient ordering system. But cash only for some reason....im always a little concerned when a business requests cash only.”

“Friendly speedy service and the best beef chow mein I've had in years, sweet and sour chicken also delicious. Portion sizes really generous, loved the chips but got too many to finish. Highly recommend.”

Customer Review Summary
Generous portions are the most repeated draw at this takeaway, with reviewers naming beef chow mein, Yung chow fried rice, black bean prawns and house special crispy noodles. Sweet and sour chicken Hong Kong style also earns praise, though one reviewer found the chicken a little overdone. Tofu in black bean sauce splits opinion. Two reviewers call it lovely, while another says it was the worst tofu they have eaten, like wet cardboard, and reports waking with a migraine and a bad stomach. A separate reviewer felt the chips tasted vacuum packed and the chicken came in preformed frozen squares, a letdown after the positive reviews. Staff are described as friendly, helpful and quick, with food arriving piping hot for collection. Several reviewers live miles away yet say they drive back, and one loved the chips but got too many to finish.
