Just had a delivery, cut into my pancake roll & the smell turned me sick. Obviously something has been used in there that has gone off. We couldn’t eat any of our food after that, which came to £32. Tried phoning them, but they refused to answer. Several times. Will not be returning here yuk.

Very disappointed- never again. Had been recommended to us for the Malaysian curry which was just a typical Chinese curry, nothing particularly Malaysian about it. Chips were horrible frozen oven chips. Curry was thick and gloopy. Singapore chow mien was heavily coated in a curry powder. Chicken balls, tasteless and bland. We paid £37 for awful food. Substandard, poor ‘Chinese’ fare. Be warned, don’t waste your money. Avoid at all costs.

Firstly 2.5hrs to deliver then meal was not warm enough because their car had broken down the driver said. Driver was polite & offered replacement but we didn't want to wait again. Curry had no sauce & it was that awful cubed, re-constituted chicken. So over £16 for 2 mains mostly of rice. Thye were chicken curry/rice in a tray, special fried rice with a tub of sweet/sour sauce & prawn crackers. Very poor overall this time sadly.

Firstly an hour & a half is really too long to wait even on a Saturday. Then it wasn't packed properly. The spare ribs in sauce were, for some reason, packed sideways down & all the sauce had spilled into the bag. Chips were undercooked so were a little hard, very pale & tasteless. As has become the norm portions are much smaller than they used to be. Shame as this place is usually very good.

We Have always enjoyed the food here but the last four occasions we have pre ordered our food to take away. Told a time to pick up our food and then waiting on average an extra half hour to an hour. Completely pointless ordering food in advance. The last time we have ordered we even had dishes missing. After coming here for a long time we will be taking our custom else where.

Delicious food, tastiest Chinese we believe in the Pontypridd area albeit smaller portion sizes. Recommend the BBQ ribs. We ordered honey ribs on the last occasion &, although nice, the sauce was too thin. Worth the wait which, on a Saturday, can be up to an hour.

La comida es buena y hemos estado muchas veces a lo largo de los años. Todo esta noche comenzó bien con una cálida bienvenida, un buen servicio de bebidas y aperitivos buenos pero pronto se vieron frustrados durante la entrega del plato principal, que en última instancia nos estropeó la comida. Parecía que vienen en 4 lotes y a mitad de camino a través de esta servían una mesa de 8!! lo que resultó en un retraso de 2 platos principales. Sirven una mesa en un momento por favor cuando brindar platos principales. No hay punto sirve un curry y 10 minutos más tarde el arroz.

It looks like a dirty old pub inside and would only recommend a take away. They didn't even have a card machine to pay shocking!!!!I. I don't like giving places bad reviews but I done this because I've been to most places around and everywhere else was far nicer.

East to find is on the right hand side front on of the Royal Oak pub sort of attached but not part of the pub itself.The night we went the weather was horrendous it was pouring down we managed to park right across the road the restaurant was small but cosy I think it will seat 35-40 customers groung floor level so ideal for those with walking difficulties. We arrived around 6.45pm so we were'nt surprised to be the only 2 in the restaurant which was good really as we were both starving, we were served straight away the food arrived piping hot and really good quality a rather different choice on the menu from most chinese restaurants which mean't a good choice of dishes. While we ate the phone never stopped ringing for takeaways which in my eyes is a good sign means food is constantly good and popular. The service was excellent and the meal was really good will return with friends would recommend and have done.A real new years treat from my other half love him.

Ordered and paid for a delivery by card I was then told they did not deliver to Upper boat and that they would refund me. My problem with this was that the refund would take a few days to go back into my account I explained to the young lady on the phone that I couldn't order another takeaway from somewhere else as I didn't have enough money in my account to cover it and could they please on this occasion go the extra mile and make an exception and deliver it to me. The manager refused so my kids and I are skint and very hungry diabolical customer service and empathy

This take away charges what they want. £6.10 for a bag of chips despite the menu on display in the shop stating £3.60. The meals were also more than the menu stated. I ordered the tray meal which had about 5 chips in it and also a sweet and sour bean curd Cantonese style. The bean curd had no coating and had clearly been deep fried to within a cm of it's life. It was like cardboard and the sweet and sour sauce was watered down. Wil not order from their again
