Upon opening the packaging, I immediately noticed that the chow mein was lacking vegetables and the noodles were either undercooked or burnt. It had no flavor and was disappointing for the cost of 6.50. The prawn toast was also disappointing, soggy, and lacked any visible prawn, costing 5.50. Even the seagulls wouldn't eat it, which speaks to the quality. Despite this, the staff were friendly. Overall, I was very disappointed as I had hoped to support a local business.

I found the chicken to be too salty for my taste. We also tried the prawns in a spicy sauce with ginger.

We make it a point to support local businesses, from shops to butchers, clothing stores, delis, pubs, and takeaways. Today, we decided to visit Paramount and were met with the rudest staff we have ever encountered. They were uncooperative and downright unpleasant. Considering that this restaurant relies on locals to sustain its business, you would think they would be more welcoming and friendly. After all, the decor hasn't changed in 30 years.

Inside the family run restaurant is beautifully designed. Will definitely be back next time we are in Blackpool.
