What Yvonne Musk likes about China Essence:
Ordered take away. Food was very nice. 30-40 minutes wait. It was very busy and I was impressed that this couple were on top of the game with all the orders. I was exhausted watching them.

Awful takeaway. Raw carrots, tasteless beef also undercooked. Would never go back again. I feel that I have been ripped off just hope I’m not ill later
