Customer Review Summary
The special fried rice draws the most praise, described as a meal in itself and full of flavour, with the sweet and sour chicken Hong Kong style and beef and black bean named as regular family favourites. Many reviewers, including some travelling from Leigh and Rayleigh, describe the food as fresh and hot rather than greasy, and repeatedly call it the best Chinese takeaway in the area, crediting friendly staff and delivery drivers. Cash only payment is mentioned several times as an inconvenience, and one reviewer calls it a tad expensive. Against this, two reviews break sharply from the pattern: one found portions small and dishes greasy and lacking flavor, and another describes a single order with uncooked prawn balls, burnt sweet and sour, and chips they felt were days old. Most, though, describe returning for years and keeping the food hot on long journeys home.
