    “I have bought from then twice and it wasn't great but I thought I'd try one more time. When I explained that the food is never spicy as requested, the receptionist called the chef. The chef was so rude and racist on arrival.He shouted and said we are not here to make the food fire hot for you to suit you or race.I was incredibly shocked and have never been discriminated and insulted in a restaurant for respectfully asking for a little spice. Awful!”

    “Best Chinese takeaway in Woking and I love how it’s an independent place. Food always arrives quickly and better still, at busy times they warn you upfront if delivery will take a long time (unlike deliveroo that just constantly pushes the ETA back). And of course, it’s soooo tasty!!!”

    “I ordered roast pork sichuan style - particularly for meat and spice levels. They confirmed that Sichuan is spicy. What I got is onions with a topping of roast pork. And it wasn’t even spicy. Dish should be renamed “sautéed onions with a miser topping of pork and no flavour”. AVOID, it’s 1.0 star restaurant. I am not sure how they managed 4.3. Businesses like these should either adapt with changing times, or disappear.”

    “Braised beef was so delicious and great quality. Prawn dumpling was really good. We really enjoyed our dinner. Service staff is really friendly and caring.”

    “Nice little shop that serves Chinese food. Variety is decent but food ingredients are okay. The only disappointment is that when we tried to order liquor from them, shop server told us we can just get alcoholic drinks from shop next door as they do not have liquor license. So we just bought jack Daniel coke and when we got our bill, we saw that they charge corkage of $2 per head. Corkage is totally fine but wish they tell us the fee before hand so we can decide what to buy. And one of us ordered a tea and tea is $3 but they top up a fee for the tea cup I can’t remember if it’s $2 per cup. That is somewhat unusual the way it’s charged. These fees sum is not big, and I understand they are running a business. But for a mom and pop shop, I think they caught me by surprise.”

Customer Review Summary

Diners most often praise the braised dishes, with braised beef called delicious and a braised pork with preserved vegetables clay pot described as a perfect match for steamed rice. Prawn dumplings, the Char Siu Bao, spring rolls and roast duck come close behind, and one family of regulars calls the food authentic, fresh and never too oily. Staff are described as friendly and caring, and food is said to arrive quickly, with one reviewer noting the kitchen warns of long delivery times upfront. The complaints centre on consistency and extra charges. A Sichuan style roast pork arrived as mostly onions with a thin topping of pork and no spice, and another reviewer says requested spice never shows up. Others report fried rice without wok hei, tough sweet and sour pork, and king prawns served with raw vegetables. One table felt repeatedly hurried to finish, and some were surprised by corkage, a per cup charge for tea and a service fee for larger parties. One takeaway customer was given free crackers with the order.
