Description

New Chinese takeaway offers hit-and-miss dishes, with some lacking flavor and quality, while others impress with deliciousness and generous portions. Some disappointments include cold, dry ribs and underwhelming Szechuan pork. However, standout items like salt and chilli chicken and Chinese style pork shine. Customers report mixed experiences with delivery times and service, but the overall consensus leans towards returning for the scrumptious food and friendly staff. Despite some inconsistencies, this new restaurant seems to be winning over customers in Eastbourne with its fresh ingredients and great portions. Worth a try for those seeking a reliable Chinese takeaway option.

Have ordered salt and chilli ribs and chicken wings numerous times previously. However tonight’s offering was well under par. It arrived early but cold. The wings were ‘wet’ inside and covered in a sauce instead of being cooked in a sauce. The salt and chilli ribs were inedible. They were so dried out they snapped! Really disappointed for over £30 weeks had just chicken balls and 1 chicken noodle to share between us.

First time ordering from here as our usual is closed, definitely making this our regular. Food was delicious and generous portions. Chicken balls were more like holders!! Excellent value for money

Always go to Chinese, so tasty and come hot and on time. Not greasy!

Was very tasty sweet and sour pork, the honey ribs were large and meaty. Only thing I found uncomfortable was just how spicy the Singapore vermicelli is; I have them as I enjoy chilli heat but they where next level, possibly tame them down just a bit as it almost ruined flavour of them to being almost a synthetic heat rather then natural chilli pepper, I'd say they where 3 chilli pepper icon heat rating.
