Finally found Chinese food with halal chicken options in the area. Enjoyed the food thoroughly. Authentic Chinese taste and the portion size was great too. Would definitely go again and try more thing off of their menu.

The sweet and sour was neither, there was no taste at all. The rice was dry and the chow mein was greasy. Yes i know they are slightly different from each takeaway but I've never had one I've not enjoyed. This went in the bin as i couldn't eat it. Total waste of money.

Called tonight as I was close by for a Takeaway, and now I now why I stopped going!! My meal was Singapore fried rice which supposed to be spicy, this was bland and not spicy at all. Curry sauce was orange and like water, did not taste like curry sauce at all. Chips were not cooked both pale and hard. Threw it away and 15 minutes later on the toilet!!!!! The wife had Crispy chilli beef which came with the beef dry sitting on top of the sauce, and again was bland and tasted like yesterdays!! Never going again. Used to be so good but now the worst around.

The food was warm, and came in a decent time the gravy over one meal had leaked all over the others. The pepper chips were raw on most of them, and very very oily. The rest of the meal was fine but portion size against what you were paying compare to other local places was really small. I dont think I will be using them again.

This used to be the place to go for a Chinese take away but not any more. Used them a while ago and it seems it had fallen well below the standards they set in the past. However, we thought we’d try again in case it was a one off. Yuk. I had the sweet and sour chicken while the wife had the Cantonese style chicken with egg fried rice. Chicken balls were rock hard and cracked when you tried to get a fork in them, clearly cooked hours ago. The same with the chips which were hard and blistered, presumably from old oil. They were too bad to eat so I cracked open a few of the chicken balls and chucked the chicken pieces to the dog. With no word of a lie he’s since been sick. The wife just binned hers as the Cantonese chicken was completely overdone and chewy. I don’t know what you’ve changed at Lims but I suggest you change it back before you either go bust with lack of sales or get shut down by the food standards people.. What a shame....

Used it for 25 years now and then. Aways enjoyed the food but can be more pricey than others. The one thing i don't like is the inconsistent portion sizes. Some time its full while others can be under or half full. Not good for paying customers. Ordered this at weekend. Its been full in past but this is low. They said was shrinkage. NO its not.
