    Best Chinese in the area by far, staff are all really friendly and the food is lovely - I don't understand how this place has any bad reviews as it has always been 10/10 everytime we have been!

    Not the best special Chou mein I have ever had and the large pancake roll was soggy. Would I go back? No.

    After 10 years of ordering from here it's time to find another takeaway. Waiting 1 hour 40 minutes is just not good enough. Ever since Food Hub have took over the ordering it's gone seriously down hill. Very disappointing.

    The best Chinese in the area by a mile. Food is always so good whichever dish you have! Real tasty and staff friendly too.

    I use this Chinese on a bi-monthly basis. Last night I purchased 2 meals, one being a chicken curry. Within 2 hours of eating the meal I was over the toilet being sick. Not sure why, as I always get a chicken curry but last night's meal was not good. With it being chicken I wanted to raise this issue.

    Only went there once and had special chow mein for me and the wife. Wife tried it but did not finish and the rest went on the bin. Had a lot better.

    Walked in off the street, ordered and received a delicious takeaway 10 minutes later. Large portions, hot and fresh. The Chop Kam Chow Mein was especially good. Will return.

    Set up for collect and was ready within 30 mins and the service was great but once we started eating there was a horrible taste of soap in the chow mein and near tasteless food, the chips and chicken balls were good but the rice had an odd texture. Very disappointed with the food. We used to order very frequently from the takeaway a few years back but it seems to have gone downhill. Put in a large order of food for a party and all were disappointed. Will not be ordering again.

    Expensive for what we ordered, never will order from them again. If you order from them check the prices from menu's.

    Great choice of dishes, value for money and delicious food.

  • 5/5 Andy W. 3 years ago on Google
    Ordered for collection via the online service offered, very user friendly and great system - so much better than attempting to get through their busy phone line. Food did NOT disappoint one bit, hot and sour soup was outstanding along with the salt & chilli chicken and crispy beef (long time favourite dishes from this particular takeaway). Generous portion sizes and no issue with the price of dishes. I feel the negative reviews reflect the off days that the business have (god forbid they don’t get it 100% all the time, anyone would think they are only human). I will continue to support this fantastic establishment, keep up the great work!

    Always used this establishment however after tonight I certainly won't be again. Ordered food at 6 told 1 - 1 and a quarter hrs. After waiting till 7.40 I rang back to be told another 25 minutes!!! 40 minutes later still no food I rang again and this time spoke to a manager who blatantly lied to me and said the girl was new and my food was on the way. It eventually arrived 10 minutes short of 3 hrs and then wasn't overly warm either. Disgusting and I will not be spending my money here AGAIN !!!!

    Excellent food. Quickly processed after ordering at counter. Good value. Parking somewhat limited but you can order online or via phone to shorten wait.
