I really enjoy this restaurant. The Chinese food is incredible. I recently saw on Google that they may be closed, but I hope that's not true because this is my favorite Chinese takeout spot. The food is never greasy and always full of flavor. #GoodChefIsTheBest.

The restaurant offers straightforward, made-to-order dishes that are well-prepared and offer great value. Despite the unassuming appearance of the establishment, the food was of high quality. While there may be a 25-minute wait for the food to be cooked, the freshness and lack of reheating or microwaving make it worth the wait. Overall, this is a place that serves delicious food.

This Chinese takeaway was the worst ever! The food had absolutely no flavor. The chicken satay was tough and tasted like leather. The peanut sauce was thick and lacked any peanut flavor, and it even got stuck in our sink. The rice was also hard and chewy. What a disappointment! We will never be returning to this restaurant.

Went to this takeaway for the first time in years and was very pleased with everything. Ordered sweet and sour pork but couldn't decide on which rice would be best, the lady behind the counter was really helpful in explaining the options. You can pay by card which I am sure they didn't do the last time I visited. The food was cooked whilst I waited and you can see the chefs working which is great. Everything tasted lovely and there was loads of it. Will definitely be using again in future.

Really disappointed with my favourite take away tonight. Popped in at 7pm to order 1 dish for my dinner was told there was an hour wait! I went to the take away didn't order a delivery! Of course I did not wait. So am starving and miserable as I know how tasty it would have been! surely 1 dish could have been bumped up the list?!
