This restaurant appears to benefit mainly from deliveries and take away meals thereby concentrating on the lesser important aspects of business, dining in customers. The have failed purely on the basics of table service. Staff seem to spend lots of time on phones rather concentrating on customers in their presence. Initially the welcome was far from warm or encouraging. Drinks available are served from 2 ltr plastic bottles that seem either passed by expiry date, or the lemonade and Cola was flat from lying over several days. When pointed out the staff member attending said she might be able to give a replacement, a statement that appeared by full of negativity. Main course plates were brought to the table and place in front of customers COLD rather than pre warmed. The main course was served in bits and pieces with long gaps between items adding to more waiting time and colder food. The food was rather less tasty than described, I could hardly wait to leaving the establishment. On my way to the main entrance/exit I opted to use the gents toilets only to notice that the front rim inner of the toilet bowl was very badly stained but I could hardly guess from what, but it was not fresh and looked like it would benefit from a bit of attention and effort from one of the cleaning staff. This establishment has me in some doubt about its internal hygiene judging by staff lack of enthusiasm.

YUM! What a meal. We got a takeaway tonight and it did not disappoint. The girl on reception was amazing, she answered all my gluten free enquiries and helped me with the order. Not only was there gluten free options, the gluten free food was so good! My dad also wants to add that the hot and sour soup and beef curry was one of the best he has ever had. Highly recommend 😁

Ordered the food for delivery ASAP so was disappointed when it showed as being delivered 60-80 minutes after ordering. After 90 minutes we phoned the restaurant who were very rude and unapologetic they lied and said we had ordered it to be delivered at 20:30. When it was pointed out that the time of the call was 20:35 they said it would only be 10 minutes. Phoned again at 21:00 and was told a bunch of nonsense about having to wait before they start cooking. The chicken was chewy and tasted bad.

The food itself wasn’t the best. The sweet and sour pork had soggy batter with a chewy unpleasant texture and the sauce was very vinegary.

Food itself was decent, but waited over an hour and 40 mins overall. Portion wasn’t massive so confused as to why the long wait. Delivery boy couldn’t find the house and told us he drove around our street for 15 mins. Eventually had to go and find him. Food was soaking wet and lukewarm by the time I got to him and he said that I needed a door number. You need a new pair of eyes more like. Surely if you were driving up and down street for 15 mins could’ve just walked up to the door and had a look for yourself? Not impressed.

We ordered various dishes, beginning with Chicken noodle soup and ribs, all very nice. The main dishes were well presented, large bowl of rice to share among us. Everything was brought out piping hot. All the portions were on the large side, I can understand why, most people like a good amount, we ate as much as we could, whilst trying to save room for desert.

Had plastic in my chips!!! Then the chicken on top of that! No need , just disgraceful like trying to make someone unwell at this point. Was not happy at all , had sung sing a few times and it’s been good but no idea what’s happened this time round. Maybe check your food to see if it’s acc edible than putting plastic and not cooking it right
