Description

Flame Light has become a mixed bag for patrons, showcasing both culinary highs and lows. While many longtime customers lament changes in quality, reporting issues like cold dishes and misprepared items, others still praise its consistency and reasonable pricing. Signature dishes like crispy duck and char siu pork remain favorites, celebrated for their flavor and tenderness. However, frustrations with new online ordering systems and increased wait times have marred the experience for some. Overall, those who are willing to bask in the unpredictability may still find this establishment a worthwhile choice in St Albans’ competitive takeaway scene.

I ordered just for myself 3 dishes which come to £28 beef chow main which was a good portion and not greasy so ticking all the boxes,ribs were laughable 0 flavour,and beef in black bean sauce although a lot of beef again 0 flavour and more or a slimey water than a sauce,despite all these food crimes when I asked if prawn crackers are on the house I was told yes only if you spend over £30 So basically I felt I had to re mortgage my home despite spending a ridiculous amount on average food while being told a cracker wasn’t available because I didn’t fit the criteria.???

Ruined Xmas eve. Ordered food at 5 to be picked up at 8.15. Spent 30 mins in shop and still no one had spoken to me or three others in the queue in front. When I pushed to the front to speak to lady behind the counter she explained the order would still be some time but couldnt say how long. Others in there were already waiting over an hour for their pre ordered food. Rubbish client service with staff hiding. Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1
