I was very disappointed with the food we had tonight. We have been using this takeaway for almost 10 years and, sorry to say, will not be ordering again. Food is bland, and the egg fried rice is so full of soy sauce that it's brown.

Haven't been here for 2 yrs as I moved to the other side of town, was at an event yesterday and thought as I had to virtually drive past I would call in . Ordered sweet and soar chicken balls and egg rice , this used to be 2 containers now the balls are in a cardboard box with a small container of tasteless sauce ,chicken was dry and tasteless and rice smelt funny .basically it was horrible and will never visit again

Food just awful, curry like soup, rice stank of smoke and crispy chilli beef was undercooked. Very very sad waste of £30

Well what a shame. I understand the place has changed hands although I haven’t used it for a while due to the poor food. Food was still warm on delivery (I’m 2.5 miles away). I’ll let you guys judge for yourself on the looks of the 10 small bits of beef in the beef and green pepper and the chicken in the Hong Kong style sweet and sour. No shrimps in the spring rolls and about 50 pence worth of chow mien. All mine for £25.30 delivered. Oh they did give me 2 fortune cookies for free.

I've been getting food from these guys for years and years. I always get crispy shredded beef, and it's always been fab. However today's order came and I was very disappointed. The crispy shredded beef looks anaemic and doesn't taste anywhere near as good as normal. Much less flavour and tang than usual. Veg chow mein was ok, but you have to work pretty hard you mess that up. I called and asked about it and I was told that they were under new management. The new management obviously don't know what this dish is supposed to taste like, so I doubt I'll be going back unless they change it. I wish I'd read all the other recent bad reviews before ordering.

I’ve only put 1 star on each because I have too, to leave a review. New management, ingredients changed absolutely disgusting. Phoned up to complain and I finally managed to get a refund for half despite the fact we ate none of it and threw it in the bin. Crispy chilli beef, not crispy really soggy in a really salty gravy, seaweed covered in sugar crystals, smoked chicken not smoked at all and very poor quality like it had been reheated several times. The rice was part cooked and the special chow mein contained only small scraps of chicken and pork. The king prawns were so over cooked they were hard as rubber and almost dissolved. I said I would bring the whole meal back for a full refund and management said they would not do that. NEVER AGAIN Disgusting

Obviously under new management! Food was a total let down. Chicken and beansprouts (Cantonese style) Was more like a watered down sweet and sour. The BBQ ribs, again sauce watery and not as they used to be. Can't fault service but as you're purchasing food that's the most important thing. Need to find a new Chinese - shame!

Just placed an order after not using them for a while and I can only say I was shocked with the below average food, dry duck, dry and bland chicken and a special fried rice that was full of nothing but peas. Will definitely not be using this place anymore which is a shame as they were brilliant but unfortunately stay well clear 1/10.

Really loved getting takeaway here. The person behind the counter was incredibly helpful guiding us through the allergy lists to find something that would work for us - they never got frustrated once at how slow I was being and how long it took me to order. I can't entirely remember what I did order. I think there was tofu in yellow bean sauce with cashews, and maybe tofu in black bean sauce with green peppers? Along with spring rolls and seaweed. All the dishes were delightful though, and reasonably priced. Service was incredibly fast and the food was still hot when we got home. This was our first time here and I'm sure that we're now going to become regulars.

This is by far the worst takeaway I have ever had. The pad Thai was horrible, the crispy chilli beef we could not chew it was like leather, both of the dishes where not eaten and put it the bin, we picked at the Thai green curry and other dishes and they also ended up in the bin. I would not go back if I where starving 😫

Went here the other day for WWE Day1 drinks being that one stop was closed. Although I didn’t get food was impressed by the service. How ever i would recommend that they look into the small bottles of coke least that way you ain’t got to drink it all at once and you can re cap a bottle but obviously you can’t re cap a can.

Ordered a delivery today. Worst Chinese I've ever had, waited an hour and a half. I had the chicken chow mein there was no sauce or flavor at all and the chicken wasnt cooked properly so couldn't eat it. I also had the salt and pepper chicken again it wasn't cooked so couldn't eat It. Egg fried rice, was brown all stuck together and again no flavour at all. Really Dissapointed as cost 20 quid, I was really hungry too and I literally couldn't eat it. Wouldn't eat from here again.

The Tom Yam soup was savoury soup, but it wasn't a Tom Yam. The pork with spring onion and ginger lacked seasoning and flavour. The occasional large piece of tough ginger was an unpleasant texture surprise. I had hoped for better, this really wasn't very good.

Very disappointed we have just ordered chicken chow mein old style and chicken satay, the chicken in the chow mein tasted off and the texture was spongy and had no gravy/sauce it also was cold in the middle I am not convinced it had been freshly cooked? The chicken in the satay was just horrible, I know on the website it says to return the meal for a refund but we did not want to make another trip to take it back. We have used this take away for years and on the odd occasion the chicken has been awful but this has happened the last couple of times I am sorry to say I don't think we will use them again

This Chinese was once great but of now terrible! Started with spare ribs which were really good. The main was sweat and sour which tasted like vinegar, battered prawns which tasted like banana oddly (guess it’s the batter). And egg fried rice which was almost glow in the dark orange in colour. Also the man at the reception is very grumpy ! ☺️ Sorry but I won’t go back now.

We were served with drinks on arrival and chose from menu with a good variety of meals to choose from with a selection of special menu very reasonably priced for 3 courses choices of 3 different previously selected meals for each course. The food was exceptionally well presented and well cooked our family all enjoyed the meal and the service x Thank you to John O'Gaunt for making it special for us .. we hope to call again. from the North of Buckinghamshire.

We stopped here for 'quick' coffee, what a joke! I waited at the deserted food counter, along with another couple who were ahead of me, for about five minutes while the person who was presumably supposed to be taking orders faffed about in the Kitchen. We three were the only customers at the counter. When she did finally appear she was unable to deal with the other couples order without help for some else who she dutifully went off to find. She eventually reappeared with another member of staff in tow and they both huddled round the till trying to figure out the problem. When it was resolved the original server continued with the rest of the couples order while the other staff member looked straight through me and disappeared back into the Kitchen. As it was now getting on for ten minutes of waiting like a Lemon I decided to give up and go elsewhere. If this is an example of how they treat their customers I am not surprised the place was virtually empty at Lunchtime. So if you want my advice it would be go somewhere else!!
