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

Been going to get takeaway from here on and off for the last 10yrs. I always have the same dishes and rotate. Picked up a crispy shredded beef last weekend. Service was quick but the dish itself was inedible. It had a weird taste and in the end had to bin it. Not the usual quality and I later found out that they have changed ownership. Will try my other dish next time as a chance for redemption... Service: Takeaway Meal type: Dinner Food: 2 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3
