Customer Review Summary
Opinions split sharply here, with several diners praising the chicken chow mein, pork ribs, and beef curry as delicious and the service fast, and others calling it the best Chinese in the area for its portions and competitive prices. But a recurring thread of complaints runs alongside that praise: one reviewer describes being charged for an extra rice and noodles they never ordered, another found the chicken and green peppers in blackbean sauce dry and bland, and a longtime customer reported cold chips and bitter chicken on a recent visit after years of inconsistent quality. Chicken batter balls were also flagged as hard to chew, and the sauces as overly sweet by one diner. A separate review describes rude treatment from a staff member over a vegetable-only order. Despite this, others found the counter staff friendly and the food, on good nights, worth returning for.

“We ordered our usual from here, just a standard family sized order. We got to the restaurant and we was informed that we had 2 extra items that we didn’t order, we received 1 extra rice and 1 extra noodles. We did say we didn’t order the extras but they still made us pay. We only noticed when we got back home that we had the extras. Also the chicken batter balls was very hard to chew. The sauces are also very sweet. If you don’t mind sweet try it.”
