The kitchen is excellent, the food is prepared quickly. Everything is packed in plastic containers. The portions are large. The only thing is that if you don’t know Chinese cuisine, it’s difficult to choose from the large selection of menus. It would be nice to have some small photos. Therefore, the service is 4 stars. Overall, I recommend it.

Excellent food, excellent price and fantastic service not to mention value for money. We had soup which was declared 'one of the best' he'd tasted, the other 3 dishes we ordered didn't disappoint. Best we've had in a while. Wish we could find one to match back in Yorkshire. Unfortunately only here for a week. Question is - how many Chinese takeaways is too many in a week. This is the question we posed on the first night of our stay when we tried it.

A smile and a basic hello and goodbye would go along way but probably not enough to make up for the terrible food we had last night...The special fried rice had hardly any ingredients in it and the Mushroom and prawn dish had tinned Mushrooms floating in some kind of dish water .....very poor im afraid

Very poor! Cheap Beef in the Beef/mushroom, tasted awful, large crispy spring roll was over cooked. It was solid, close to being burn't. House special curry contained just 2 Prawns. No local competition so no rush to improve.

We've used these quite a few times but then there really isn't much choice living in the villages. Food always nice and hot by the time we get home and is tasty. However they don't accept card, don't do delivery and even when I have phoned an order through it can still take a long time to get my food, it has on occasion felt quicker just to go and order it there as it seems they don't start cooking it until you are actually there and have paid.

This the worst takeaway I've ever tried 😫 I can't believe any of the good reviews I can only assume these people have never tried decent Chinese food so they can't compare it to anything. Took food back 3 times in one night , smelt off . People should stop buying their food from here so that we might get a new good takeaway for the local area.

Ok I guess, staff member was polite and cooked fast while we waited, only downside was the chicken chow mein I asked for had an oily gravy on it 🤢 when I expected it to be dry noodles... and after pricing up the menu on Google it seems I was overcharged by £1.20, maybe old prices? 🤔 rest of the food was very tasty, well presented and piping hot when I got home so not too bad I guess

Such good food but the lady at the front really lets the place down. Been there twice in a week, was told one hour the first time when calling to pick up, was an hour and 45 in total - when I got there they couldn't find my order so I doubt she even took it in the first place. Second time I thought I'd walk in and order instead and was given a buzzer for when it was ready. I sat directly outside the front door and there must have been atleast 8 people outside with buzzers and waiting so it was busy to be fair but a guy after me order 2 dishes and I saw him leave 15 mins later (mine was 5 dishes). When the place emptied, I went in to ask how long my food would be as it had been over an our - to which I got the response 'oh, I've been buzzing you', when I said you haven't , I was told she came out to find me - she hadn't as I was sat outside the front door, then it changed to she sent a CUSTOMER out to find me! At this point I just said please stop lying to me and left. Again, real shame as we have been here around 10 times and the food is really good but she has always been the issue and is really short and rude.

It was very good for us, There were mixed reviews for this takeaway - there weren't many others around to choose from so we gave it a go. Our meals were just great. We have a couple of mixed meat meals and they were good. Plenty of tasty meat and veg in a tasty sauce. The meat was still hot when we came down to the last bits - give it a try.

I have been to this establishment 4 times now and I order a vegetable spring because I'm a vegetarian, but everytime I get home there is meat in it and I have to chuck it away, despite clarifying each time that 'I want a vegetable one'!!!!

l live in the village and a few years ago this takeaway change hands and the food went down hill straight away the sweet and sour used is very bad like its brought in by the gallon load and the the meat is dry and hard like its been reheated and sauce poured over the dishes The spring roll were dripping in oil and l also purchase for my young son American Fried Chicken and Chips .The chicken was compressed flat chicken coated in bread grums not as l expected chicken on the bone and the Chips look like they had been cook day before and reheated.My son would not eat this.And l throw both meals in the bin.l have been too chinese resturants and takeaways all over the world and trust me. This was so bad that they need to hold there heads in shame and l fear for people health thats how concern l am that they should have full inspection

Last night was a disaster 40 minutes to wait to pick up, fine, went to pick up 14 people waiting. Took the money and then told you it will be a bit longer. Ok I thought outside in the queue. After 50 mins I went in and I was told 10mins longer, another 10mins. Phone call orders still being taken so they had a huge backlog. Infact they had nt even cooked anyone's food. The food was great, will go elsewhere in future

Will keep this short.... firstly on ordering I found the female owner extremely rude with no customer skills.. ordered food, went home and in second mouthful of food my wife started chocking badly! Eventually coughing up a long piece of thin metal that came from what I can assume is a scouring pad! Wife’s throat was very sore but thankfully she was ok. I flew back to Chinese and basically they couldn’t care less.. totally careless and didn’t apologise at all. I demanded my money back and I have just past on to Broadland Council to investigate. Worst Chinese I have ever been to and never stepping in this disgusting dump again!

(Before I begin Prices have gone up so much)Me and my partner thought as we haven't ate from here for many years (due to the meat tasting so rubbery) we would give it another shot tonight. What a MISTAKE that was!! Our meal altogether should have come to £17 but we were charged £25!!! My partner questioned and he done a terrible job at explaining! We just left and ate it as it would be super difficult for us to try get out money back! The food was TERRIBLE!! We didn't enjoy it at all! Safe to say that we gave them a chance, and they aren't going to get another! You've lost customers tonight!!

I had seen the reviews and generally low score, but a friend recommended the take away. So I took a punt and had Cantonese sweet and sour chicken with Singapore fried rice about a week ago. Service was efficient, food was fabulous (the best I've had in ages from other takeaways). So yesterday I tried it again and just as good. There are many takeaways which are very poor, but this one seems excellent. I hope the high standard continues and looking forward to trying other dishes..

Lovely food, pleasant service and quick collection but like many other people it appears, I was overcharged by £1 (this has happened previously but I was told then, it was a mistake). When I questioned it this time, I was told it had new owners, although I recognised them from previous visits and I was also told the prices on the website were different to the Takeaway Menu, which they are, but on calculation, still an overcharge of £1 and no refund offered, so in my opinion, not a genuine mistake. As per other reviews, I would suggest you check your prices before you order! Not a big deal, except it happens every time I go there!

Been a loyal customer here for years, food is fine but the last three visits they have always added £1 to the order each time. When challenged it’s always a ‘sorry, must be mistake’ and they then change the amount due. Looking at the reviews it seems we’re not the only ones! Check your total or give it a miss.

The chicken chow mein was definitely overpriced for what it actually was, just bog standard noodles with flavourless chicken, bean sprouts and peas all just thrown together with a dreadful sauce. The chicken balls were slightly burnt, edible, however not pleasant. The man who took our order just didn’t seem interested at all, not even a hello to start with. Employees extremely miserable, and with the little customers they have they should really put some effort in for them to return. Definitely will not be going back, poor customer service, poor food and overall poor experience.

Food ok, but given the wrong item , rang up and asked us to return wrong item to swap for correct one- understandable. Over charged us by £1 - ok so not a huge amount but lady argued with me saying I had worked the prices out incorrectly- I read them to her with the prices from the menu for her to say she had worked it out wrong and then to only give a refund of 20p! Very rude and hung up on me.

Living locally have avoided this place like the plague as the food got so terrible. Heard recently it had improved so we took the plunge. Got a few old faithful, chicken balls, egg fried rice, chow me in and spring roll, also peking crispy chilli beef (not overly spicy, just some fresh chilli which is easily avoided if you wish). Quality was excellent (and I'm fussy!)! Whether it's hit or miss remains to be seen but based on this experience definitely worth a try!

I have had several takeaways from here, and to be fair generally they are ok, but they seem to be inconsistent. I can confirm that what one of the previous reviewers said about the lady behind the counter- she can be rather abrupt and gets very stressed at busy times. When it's busy, tread carefully and you'll be safe! I don't think she means to be, it is just how she comes across.One of my favourites for a quick late tea after work from a takeaway is beef curry,fried rice and chips and this they do well. Prawn crackers are ok, but normal chinese takeaway style. Crispy chilli beef is always good, but chicken chow mein can vary, and sweet and sour chicken balls are one dish i avoid - a few times i have ordered these but now i just don't bother they just don't taste like tender chicken but a bit rubbery and very greasy. Kung po chicken is normally ok,and the egg fried rice is usually good.It is good value and they are trying, but customer service is not something that comes naturally.I personally don't think you can beat a proper chinese restaurant experience, such as the Riverbank Chinese in Norwich. A takeaway is a mass catering affair and will always be a little less refined.Still, try it for yourself and make your mind up, i am sure i have had much much worse in the past! I will certainly use it when i fancy a takeaway.

Unable to understand a simple request she got so stressed out about the "problems that I had caused her" so I cancelled my order and will take my custom elsewhere!! To the arrogant female I suggest you seek help for your abysmal attitude, after all you are only operating a till. If you get so stressed out about such a simple task resulting in being rude to the customer keeping you in your job then what on earth are you like in the big wide world?

The Szechuan tofu was mainly carrots, it had hardly any tofu in. I’ve seen a recent review of something saying the same with another dish. Food was fine other than that but not great.
