Restaurant Chinese restaurant Chinese takeaway

😐 Recently changed hands, the only difference is the prices have increased, it was 25% more expensive than a few weeks ago. Menu still the same (been the same for at least 10 years!) The only positive for me is its 2 mins down the road, so if I can't be bothered to drive 10-15mins into town I'll prob... People often mention beef,

    We called in after leaving our sons house, best take away ever. 15mile round trip but we've been back twice and will continue to go there, it's worth the effort.

    First time using China chef new Arley, not impressed, I was told that the menu on line was two years out of date and I ended up paying £6.40 more than the online menu stated. I ordered beef curry crispy shredded beef, beef not edible tough and rubbery, chips reheated food cannot be freshly cooked because it was at our door five minutes after ordering, for what it costs substandard food. Because of the inferior food it ruined our evening treat. I won't be using again that's a certainty. Waste of hard earned. After talking to locals most of them avoid the place. Typical of Chinese takeaways never had a perfect one yet. Amend to one star.

    Ordered fried rice, beef chowmein, chicken curry and crab claws. The worst curry I've tasted chicken slimmy, floppy not firm. The rice almost cold, not much beef on chowmein but quite tasty and crab claws alright. I was disappointed with meal and won't be using again.

    Very expensive compared to other takeaways we've had. We normally pay about £18, this was over £23. My husband could not eat his chicken; he said it was horrible.........my husband has never ever left a Chinese takeaway before. The best thing about it was the prawn crackers; they are probably the best I have ever had. Shame, because it's the only chinese that delivers to the village that we have recently moved into

    I ordered from them as there up the road and needed something quick for me and my boy so I did just that after I got it home the sweet and sour chicken I had was hard like it’s been in the microwave then it got to the middle was still raw not even in any way cooked looks like they got it out the fridge and just put it in the box it was that raw it’s happened twice now so won’t be ordering from there again good job I court it as my 3year old would of had it for his dinner and probably made him very ill
