"This is such a mixed bag review and really hope that the owners of this restaurant read this as it is really important for basic customer service. We had a table of 6 booked for 9pm, as much as I know this is late they were very willing to take our booking. We arrived and said that we had a booking and this young woman huffed and puffed at us. I thought there and then this isn’t going to work out too well! She showed us to the table and literally chucked the menus to the middle of the table. We couldn’t be any more of an inconvenience to her. Two of our friends were going to be 10 minutes late and let her know, as you can imagine this went down like a sack of spuds! She said that the rest of us should order and they can order when they arrive. We decided to go with the Hong Kong set menu. Our friends arrived at 21:08 and told them that they can only order a main, no starter. I we were out to celebrate my husband’s birthday so really didn’t want to make a fuss as only felt it would fall on deaf ears. As our friends didn’t want to make a fuss either they just went along with it and she stood over them the whole time until they ordered. Our starters arrived and they are huge portions, so could easily share with our friends that were late, but their main came out at the same time. It was so frustrating. The food is absolutely beautiful, but the service completely spoiled it for us. I am so shocked that we were treated like that. The only reprieve we had was another young waiter and he was really good and made sure that we got drinks throughout the time we were there. We have been to the taipan on many occasions and never had such awful service, it really is such a shame."

"I normally only get maybe 1 3 takeaways a month. Also, I’ve been trying to find a good Chinese takeaway in my area for a while but so many have mixed reviews and my local has gone downhill recently So we got a Money Tree menu through the door and decided to risk it...I got won tons 12 for £4 is a bargain! duck in mushroom, special friend rice and prawn crackers. I was not disappointed at all...I was told on the phone it’s be there in 30 mins and it arrives in 20...and was piping hot and fresh. The won tons were lovely good flavour and crispy...I think they had pork and tiny prawns ? in them, and came with sweet and sour sauce. We got two lots of prawn crackers...I guessed one was free but at least we know now they do free prawn crackers with orders. The duck was cooked really beautifully, the sauce had a good, savoury flavour, and my goodness the rice was perfect...not at all greasy, fried so the rains of rice had a good “bite” to them as friend rice should, and the different meats in the rice had good, seperate flavour...so often mixed fried rice has a taste where all the seperate flavours have just mixed together? No...this one the chicken pieces were tender and had a good chicken flavour, the prawns were a good size and the pork was tasty and not fatty. It was so good we ordered again the following night, which is something I never normally do!! They said it’d be 30 40 mins and it arrived in about 30, piping hot again. We got won tons, crab claws, special fried rice and a king prawn dish. Again the won tons and rice were perfect, free prawn crackers were included. Crab claws were as expected, nice surimi product, cooked nice and crispy and served with a nice sweet chilli sauce in a seperate container, and the king prawn dish was SO GOOD...prawns were very large, got lots of them in the dish and they were cooked to perfected and tasted really good. My only areas of nitpicky criticism are: Sweet and sour sauce was missing the second night, we were accidentally given two pots of sweet chilli sauce. But I like spicy food so it didn’t bother me. The pieces of pork in the rice has a teeny bit of red colour but no proper char siu flavour evident. I love char siu so a stronger flavour on the pork pieces would be to my preference All dishes on the menu appear to be westernised palette style Chinese food and not authentic Chinese food. These chefs can clearly cook!! So it’d be nice if they offered some authentic options. There is a braised tofu dish on the menu which I will order next time. ...and because I’m nitpicking I still don’t think tags enough to lower my rating from 5 to 4...this takeaway is great and I’ll definitely be ordering again."
