"I got a take away from here last year and whilst it wasn’t amazing, it was ok so ordered here again as reviews are better than the other chineses. Well the quality was not great at all. I’ll go dish by dish. Half duck was super fatty and on the undercooked side, no crispy skin at all. The cucumber and spring onion was a tiny tub, the same you get with the 1/4 duck. The hoisin sauce and pancakes were decent. I had ordered extra pancakes as usually we need it but here, the meet was so bad that we only managed to finish one pack of six pancakes. King prawn chow mein, one of the better dishes, good flavours, loads of huge king prawns so good value. Stir fried vegetables avoid! No flavour, soggy and mostly bean sprouts. Young chow fried rice waste of money. It doesn’t have the young chow flavour at all. Just regular egg fried rice with dry meat and shrimp. Egg fried rice no actual pieces of egg and doesn’t have that wok flavour but it’s edible Crab meat sweetcorn soup real crabmeat but not much of the meat. The soup flavour was quite nice but way too gloopy for my liking. Hot sour soup not very spicy, flavour ok, shrimps were not fresh. Sweet sour chicken balls good, batter not too heavy. Unusual sauce, I liked it but not all my kids did. Chicken ginger spring onion one of the better dishes, gloopy again but flavour was decent. Clean chicken meat pieces. King prawn in garlic source not nice, looked like porridge. Unbelievably gloopy, with lots of mushrooms. The prawns were large but I didn’t like the gloopy source. King prawn Szechuan prawns were battered, source quite sweet and not very spicy, tasted similar to the sweet and sour sauce. Singapore rice noodle ok, quite dry and flavour not special. Edible I won’t be going back."

I paid £9 for Singapore chow mein that had no taste...What a joke!! The service was for takeout and the meal was dinner. The price per person was between £10-20. Overall, I would rate the food as a 1 out of 5. View menu

I recently tried the chow mein at this restaurant for takeout, and I will never go back again. It was lukewarm and unappetizing, to be honest. Save your money and give Lucky House a try instead. I wouldn't even feed this to my dog. Sorry, but I have to give this place a low rating. Food: 1 Service: 3

Extremely disappointed with the restaurant, the tables had no clothes on, the menu wasn't appealing to look at and the older waitress was rude trying to tell us where to put our phones and how to eat our food. Younger waitress very polite) Having not been here for a while when it was popular, friendly and the food was amazing) we won't be back Service: Dine in

"We had two dinners and breakfast from this restaurant because we stayed in the Home Farm Hotel. We wanted to have the dinner and breakfast during our stay, but had to cancel our plans due to VERY POOR customer service received from Richard and also...because of his wife's cooking due to overcooked and burned full cook breakfast we received from the restaurant. Day 1, Richard introduced his wife to us, but she totally ignored us and in addition, she did not even bother to acknowledged and smiled with us. She seems to be very upset or very distance from everything or stressed/fed up about something at the time. Not sure this was due to over working… Day 1, Richard requested us to come down stairs for the dinner at 18:00, but instead of taking us to the restaurant for dinner, he tried his best to hard sell the alcohols he had in the bar to us and also to all the other guests. This happened even after we told him several times that we only want the meal and no alcohol from his bar. After about two hours, I had to tell him that I’m a diabetic and heart patient therefore I do really want to eat the meal and have a rest. He gave us the menu and I asked for lamb which was on the menu and he went crazy and said to us that they do not provide English food in this restaurant. I showed him what was on the menu, but he did not even apologise to us. He said lamb run out and asked us to select something else from the menu, again we selected duck, but that was run out as well!!! By then, Richard was sarcastic and rude to us as well as to other guests… In the end, we asked what we can have for our dinner. He almost shouted at us saying he and his wife only there to run the hotel without any staff therefore, we have to eat whatever his wife can cook!!! Finally, at about 21:00, we managed to have our dinner and I asked Richard to cancel our breakfast and dinner booking for the rest of the days however, he said we have to take the breakfast for next day because it was too late to cancel it. Next morning (Day 2), we were near the restaurant since 08:00 as Richard requested but as usual, past 09:00 we received burnt and overcooked full breakfast for two of us. They had a very large menu but it seems like most of the food either his wife did not know how to cook or had run out. Richard charged full price for our meals, BUT he FORGOT to provide the good quality food and services to the customers…"
