“Best Chinese by far! First time ordering here and everything was perfect, the food was hot and everything was delicious with loads of flavour, staff were friendly on the phone and when collecting, definitely will use again and recommend them to anyone, 10/10!!!”

“I got severe food poisoning and a seizure from this place!! Was my first time trying it, I got prawn Singapore noodles, an hour after eating I was vomitting and having diarrhoea, then I had a seizure, I don’t remember it my bf saw it. Never had a seizure in my life.”

“We ordered food at 6pm on New Year’s Eve. Somewhere between placing the order and receiving it, I went bald, grew a white beard, lost my wife, my kids stopped speaking to me, and historians started …”

“Awful experience. Christmas Eve and it’s was extremely busy yet they were taking order after order and then extending people’s waiting times. Having ordered at 6:15pm I was told 1 hour 20 mins upon arriving I couldn’t even get to the counter till gone 8pm to then be told another 40mins. There was other people who’d been waiting longer too and every time they told someone how long their order would be it kept changing. I had no faith that they’d stick to the 40mins and so asked for a refund and went elsewhere. Perhaps in future they will mange things better and when getting overwhelmed stop taking orders until they catch up!”

“Generally the food was pleasant! However, we have asked for vermicelli not / tiny spicy and received quite spicy anyway! Also, rice noodles overcooked and stuck together! Not pleasant- I wouldn't recommend Singapore vermicelli noodles as they are not tasty at all. Prawn chow main is of a good standard- as in most chinese takeaways! Food trays are foil+ see through plastic lid. Better than full plastic! Thank you”

Customer Review Summary
One reviewer calls the prawn chow mein of a good standard, and another describes hot food with loads of flavour and friendly staff on the phone and at collection. Singapore vermicelli draws criticism for overcooked rice noodles that stuck together and more spice than requested. Another reviewer on Christmas Eve was given waits that kept changing, then asked for a refund.
