This Chinese takeout restaurant is notable for its top-notch spare ribs and delicious food that comes at a reasonable price. The shop is usually a bit cold, but the parking is good. One small downside is the uncertainty of whether they begin cooking when you arrive for pick-up. Nevertheless, it is still one of the best Chinese takeout places in the area due to its tasty dishes and affordable prices. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 3

I have been frequenting this restaurant for years and consistently find the food and service to be excellent. The only minor downside is that they only accept cash, which can be a bit inconvenient in today's digital age. However, we usually get cash back from the nearby supermarket, so it's not a major problem. Overall, I would rate the food, service, and atmosphere all a perfect 5 out of 5.

First time ordering from Far East but unfortunately we won't be ordering again. Everything was well over seasoned, too much salt and sugar in most dishes. Seaweed was far too sweet and full of sugar, chicken in yellow bean sauce was far too salty, my partner couldn't finish it and this has been his favourite for years. I always order a hot sour soup whenever I have a Chinese and this was inedible, tasted nothing like it should, worst one ive ever had. It smelt odd, like strong black pepper and tasted like it too, unfortunately I couldn't eat it. Also I must mention the egg fried rice!? Where was the egg? This also smelt and tasted like pre-made packet rice you put in the microwave. I feel you really need to adjust your ingredients. Food: 1 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 1
