Description

At this restaurant, patrons experience a wide spectrum of satisfaction. While some diners rave about the prompt service and flavorful dishes, particularly praising the salt and pepper chicken wings and fresh veggie options, others lament the inconsistency in food quality and excessive salt levels. Criticism extends to greasy offerings and a lack of flavor in certain meals. The management's responsiveness raises eyebrows, especially regarding opening hours, leading to frustration. Despite varied experiences, the establishment has its supporters who appreciate the attentiveness of the staff and the overall dining experience, making it a restaurant of contrasts.

I personally have never had a bad meal from here. Always had friendly, quick service and the food, while not haute cuisine, has always been tasty.

Always had good service and enjoyed food. Tonight as I had my usual house special fried rice, chips and a curry sauce. Not been in for a while. not your standard Chinese I know) unfortunately I could bot eat it due to the amount of salt in the meal. Why would you require that amount of salt. I have to say it was terrible sorry.

Tried this via the Just Eat app which gave it a rating of 5.1 out of 6. The food was delivered earlier than stated by a pleasant lady which I assume is what generated the rating as the food left a lot to be desired. Sauces were quite thin and had little flavour, the ribs and chicken wings were greasy. I know take out is a personal taste thing so having read the reviews am delighted some people enjoyed their food. Sadly however, we did not.

Have used this place several times via Just Eat. As the title of my review says, it's like rolling a dice. Sometimes you get a 6, other times you get a 1. The inconsistency is baffling. I suspect they can't cope with the large amounts of orders at weekends, because you can get the same meal during the week and it'll be perfect, but if you try a Friday Saturday, then you're gambling on what you're going to receive. Frustrating. Great when it's good, awful when it's not.
