What weldonwares likes about Busy Bee:
We were in the mood for some takeout and I suggested Busy Bee to my friends. Our order arrived in just thirty minutes, and we were happy to see that there was plenty of meat in our dishes, unlike some other places where you have to search for it in the sauce. The delivery driver was friendly and the prices were reasonable. Busy Bee has become my go-to Chinese takeout spot, and I've convinced my friends to start using... View all feedback. What KAREN W doesn't like about Busy Bee:
I have ordered from here previously and the food has always been good, not so tonight. Ordered beef garlic chilli. It had a strong vinegar flavour and I could not eat it all, may go somewhere else next time. View all feedback.

We ordered takeout and waited over 2 hours before our food arrived. It was not worth the wait and I do not recommend this restaurant.

Busy Bee, a local Chinese takeout, elicits starkly contrasting reactions from patrons. While some praise its prompt service, abundant portions, and reasonable prices, others lament the food's quality and uninviting atmosphere. Diners have reported unpalatable dishes, such as overly sweet fried rice and vinegar-heavy beef options. Concerns over cleanliness have also been raised, with the restaurant's exterior leaving much to be desired. Despite this, a loyal clientele appreciates the speedy deliveries and friendly staff, solidifying Busy Bee as a go-to for many. Clearly, experiences here vary widely, making it a gamble for first-time visitors.
