We have been using this Chinese takeaway since it opened and won't go anywhere else in Andover. Service is quick and food is always excellent and piping hot. Good menu choice. Something for everyone.

I popped in for a special chinese curry, Ribs and chips to take out. The wait, 10 mins, perfect! The food tasted wonderful and it was piping hot when I got home 10 mins later, so well worth a visit !

I used to quite frequently get this. I am a lover off beef chow mein, Now this does amazing beef chow mein but not the best. The chips are lovely, so is the bbq ribs, The wet rice is good. Would recommend this highly.

I've seen this takeaway when visiting local shop/chemist always looked like it was out of business. Decided to go home and book a meal, oh dear, it was appalling, riddled in grease, beef and black bean sauce was so appalling we couldn't eat it. I so want to support local services/community but seriously they need to be in tune with times and competition..their location is excellent it just needs a fresh look.... both in menu, prep and presentation in the takeaway and with food.....

Stopped on the way home from a long day after spotting the Excelsior next to the Boots previously. Might sound odd but the meal tasted fresh . Not something you always get from a Chinese takeaway. Plenty of meat in the dishes and the Szechuan Chicken was deliciously spiced. Looks like it will be the new Chinese takeaway of choice in Andover.
