The dish mainly consisted of onions and mushrooms and was overly seasoned with garlic from a jar, giving it a sweet flavor. It was the most disappointing takeaway meal we've ever had. It was a disgraceful experience.

Our group especially loved the 5 spice duck and prawn green curry. The prices were reasonable and the wine list, although brief, was intriguing.

I ordered pineapple fried rice for my son, who has a severe prawn allergy. Despite requesting no prawns, the dish arrived with prawns. I also ordered spring rolls but received money bags instead. The stir-fried vegetables with tofu were inedible because the tofu was extremely tough. I found the steamed rice to be a disappointing mound of rice. When I called to inform them of the mistake with the prawns, I only received a simple apology. Overall, I was dissatisfied and disappointed with my experience.
