"I apologize for ordering the most basic dishes - Chicken Curry, Egg Fried Rice, and a Spring Roll. We have been getting takeout from this restaurant for many years and it is usually good. However, due to Covid restrictions, the visible takeaway section had to close and now food is cooked by the sister restaurant next door. Unfortunately, this time the Chicken Curry was terrible - the sauce was overly thickened and almost solidified, resembling the shape of the plastic container when poured out. The Spring Roll also tasted strange and somewhat stale. It's a shame as it has ruined what would have been a pleasant evening of watching TV, enjoying Curry, and a bottle of wine. We won't be returning to this restaurant again."

Had takeaway from here before and it was great but this time it was very poor service was good and quick but the beef in the chow mein was dry and chewy, the Kung po chicken was bland.

You can cook better at home, the rice was yellow full of oil and tasted nothing. I don't normally write bad reviews but to people who want a treat do not waste your money here. Cooked quickly tho

Delicious. I loved the crispy chilli beef huge crispy bites of joy as far as I'm concerned. I loved every mouthful as did my friends. And there was enough for one more portion the next day. Wish I lived a bit closer.

Had Szechuan prawns and chicken mushrooms, plus rice and starters and really wasn’t impressesd at all. The prawns dish was mainly made up of big chunks of onion and the chicken one was very bland with no flavour coming through. Won’t be trying again I’m afraid.

This Chinese Takeaway used to be great, but my experience tonight was disappointing. The Satay chicken, 1/4 crispy Duck, Beef Onion, and egg fried rice were all lacking in flavor. I also ordered Chicken fried rice but ended up throwing most of it away as it was bland. I won't be returning again.

Had a takeaway for two people. Food cold. Prawn toast were rubbery and crackers overcooked. Satay dry and generally tasteless. Received and charged for food we didn’t order. £34 spent on a disappointing meal. We chose this place as we thought it was the best locally. How wrong we were. Will not go back.

2 chicken chow meins, 4 spring rolls and prawn crackers for 2 people as a takeaway watching football. Prawn crackers were lovely but the rest was cold,bland and utterly tasteless. Been there many times and no problems but this was Easter Saturday and the meal was disgraceful. They don't provide an email address so you can't complain. Ruined a good evening. Would appreciate their response... but not holding my breath.
