Ordered at 6.50pm Sat 18th May, and order turned up at 9.40pm! Got through after 30mins of trying to contact them to check where order was at 8.45pm to be told it was on its way...still didn't arrive, rang them again...they hadn't turned the printer on and order wasn't received. Really?!!! Will never order from here again. Customer service diabolical. Blatant lies about delivery on its way and it was very difficult to sort problem out as their phone always off hook. Never had an experience like it from any type of take away. Avoid of you are hungry!!!

Made an online order, food was extremely late, the order was incorrect, called dozens of times but no connection,the food heat and packaging was sufficient, not the tastiest we have ever had, a bit lacklustre sadly. And the current prices are getting that the value is not worth having takeouts…. Won’t rush to order from here again.

Easy pickup and service with consistently brilliant food. The roast salt and chilli prawns are some of the best we've ever had, the black bean mixed vegetables are a dish we'd have over and over again and the duck is always excellent. Highly recommended, our go-to Chinese in the area. Never had any problems.

Absolutely disgusting food called in with fast Eddie and got crispy Duck and pancakes with salt and pepper chicken and chips, the chicken bounced like a powerball down the street, chips are raw and hard. The duck Jesus. Hirst it’s still quacking. Stay away from this place where the chef is obviously learning from a early learning book.

We ordered online and was estimated a 45-60 minute wait. We Waited 2.5 hours for average albeit hot food. We could not get through on the phone line to find out what was happening with our order it said busy all the time. Went there after 2.5 hours only to be told that it had just left with the delivery and they said sorry. Was given no explanation as to why it’s taken 2.5 hours for a chow mien, chips and fried rice. We understand about ordered in front of ours and we wouldn’t say so much if not for the fact there was a huge lack of communication and false waiting times issued.

First order from here. Delivered at least twenty minutes earlier than original time. Start with the negatives which are the chips. Poor quality. Don't get a large as not needed. Beef chow mein was spot on with a good level of meat and nice noodles. Singapore fried rice wasn't very spicy but good consistency. Top quality prawn crackers. Overall this has a good quality level of food.

Never had a bad meal from here, lovely tasting freshly cooked with excellent delivery times more often of not earlier than time give, only downside is that if you order online you have to pay by card as their isn’t a cash option and if your rush or have a houseful. I have used this takeaway for 5years+

Fantastic food, hot and delicious. Sadly they didn't deliver the bottle of diet-coke that we also ordered. After a brief discussion they did send out another delivery which arrived 20mins later, although this was full-fat coke, not Diet Coke. Still, we've used them before and I'm confident it was a one off and just 'one-of-those-things' that must sometimes happen on a busy Saturday evening. As mentioned, the food was delicious and we will use them again.
