Customer Review Summary
Salt and pepper dishes and salt and pepper boxes draw the most specific praise, with one reviewer describing just the right amount of everything, not too spicy or salty. Close behind are the curry with plenty of chicken, the ribs, hot and sour soup, sweet and sour, foo yung and prawn toasts, while the duck chow suey is called juicy and tender and full of veggies. Reviewers repeatedly mention quick service for delivery and collection, along with friendly staff and generous portions. The complaints centre on value and manner. One diner who had always rated the food excellent found a pricier meal mostly noodles with no vegetables this time. Another thought the spring rolls were doughy and needed more cooking. A late chips and gravy order left one customer feeling like a hassle after a huff and an eye roll over a request for salt and vinegar. Even so, several plan to order again, and one orders the beef ho fan every weekend.

“They must be doing something right with the other reviews however I wouldn’t be in a rush to go back based on my recent experience. Went in for a relatively quick tea as it was quite late following a hospital visit, was told the sausage would be 15-20 mins by which time they where due to be closed so decided to just order a small portion of chips and a separate chips and gravy which was just under £8. I realised I’d forgot to mention salt and vinegar so asked the lady and she huffed rolled her eyes and walked a few steps before shouting to someone in the back to add salt and vinegar. The chips also took 10-15 mins so I think the sausage would have been doable myself. Chips where ok just chips 🤷♂️ however I felt like a hassle rather than a customer id rather have just been told they where closing soon and sent somewhere else”

“Me and my husband Had a special curry tonight, thought all was good tasted amazing until I bit into a prawn that was sour I immediately knew it was bad/off/turned whatever you want to call it, spoiled the whole thing. Sorry have to be honest, this is a first for us ...I know thats not how they should taste. To add more my husband has been up all night with the poos and pains in his stomach - possible for poisoning.”

“Ordered Duck Chow Suey and Jasmine rice, came in a bigger container and was very tasty and full of veggies. Well cooked rice and very juicy and tender duck. Place only accepts cash but are available online to order food and pick up.”

“We've had food from here and it has always been excellent. However, not this time. For the price, most of the meal was noodles and nothing really exceptional, no actual veg ingredients (previously there has been veg added). So, not impressed and will be choosing somewhere else, for the price I'd expect more.”

“Ordered here as our usual was closed. This will be our new Chinese from now on. Hot and sour soup was delicious. Sweet and sour was delicious. It was all delicious. Spring rolls were a bit doughy, needed a bit more cooking. And, it all arrived within 25mins.”
