  • Very disappointing - the chicken was way overcooked very dry. The fish was very greasy. The chips were ok, but not worth going there just for chips.…

    Chicken chow mein the chicken was a bit like tofu but was defantly chicken ya know what i mean? I been here many times would i reconmend it yep i think most people come for the chips and chicken not the chinese food The chicken burger is typical takeaways burger but feels the gap for when im lazy and want to nom something good Have to get gravy for ur chips and ask for lots of salt (i dont know if thats good advice) I do reconmend a vist good flavours

    Not bad at all. Always goes there to buy chicken and vegetables which is really good. Overall it’s not bad for a takeaway. I don’t see why it’s only got 2.5 rating.

    Can’t say I have tried any of the Chinese food here but I love their chicken and chips! 10 time better than anything you’d be getting from KFC. But still a reasonable price for good size portions.

    I don’t know why you have so many bad reviews. Your colossal burgers are the bomb and honey fried chicken is a big thumbs up as well. Keep it up

    Worst food I’ve ever had. Do not buy the wontons! They’re disgusting. It’s like eating dried crepe paper that has been drenched in oil. It’s the closest chinese takeaways to where I live and the food is just not good. I’ve tried lots of different things there to see if there’s at least something there that I will like – the dumplings aren’t too bad but everything else I’ve tried has been disappointing. BBQ fried rice lacks flavour, fried chicken tastes like the chicken was rotten when it was cooked. After trying the chicken I wasn’t gonna bother with the fish, I just know that it wouldn’t be fresh. Sorry guys but hope the food improves.

    We used to LOVE your fried rice and your other dishes were so/so but the closest we could get to the kind of chinese takeaways we like; but we havnt been in months and maybe you’ve got a new chef in that time?The orange beef was almost inedible, it smelled so strongly of feet as soon as you opened the container that it put me off eating it straight away (my partner has a cold and couldnt smell it, so tried eating it any ways), I licked a piece to see if it at least tasted correct and, no joke, it was exactly like licking battery acid (which, I actually happened to do a few weeks ago, so the bitter, sour, zingy taste is still fresh in my memory), almost like you’d used citrus essential oils in the sauce or something lol. It was also so so spicy, I wouldnt have been able to eat it even if it didnt smell like feet (ive never had an orange beef be spicy, its normally a safely mild dish). My partner, who managed to eat some (mainly because we had spent money on it and it was all that was for dinner), said there was too much batter which made it taste stodgy, you normally expect a crispiness with orange beef, this has none. The new-style pottle had about 1/3rd as much meat again as it used to, more meat is normally a good thing, but in this case more meat didnt make it any more edible! Orange beef 0/10. Really disappointed.The fried rice was nice, it has more veges then it used to have it in, and is more oily then it used to be (which I actually liked it being a bit wetter!). It was fine but didnt have that moreish smoky flavour your fried rice used to have that kept us coming back. Also, too many large shreds of cabbage, I kept finding myself stopping to chew for ages on big bits of cabbage. Shredded carrot was nice though and my partner was pleasantly surprised by several large shrimp/prawn things in the mix. The photo is a little misleading on the meat-front, it certainly had many good big chunks of meat, the photo was of the end of the rice, not the beginning because I forgot. Fried rice 6/10. Meh. Would eat if given some but probably wouldnt buy again with my own money.You were our (only) go-to for chinese takeaways on this side of town, birthdays, special occasions, visitors, we always got your food.. now it looks like chinese takeaway is off our menu :(Really disappointed, this was our treat this week and it was crap. My partners all sadface as he’s been hanging out for orange beef for weeks now and this was such a let-down.

    Quite possibly the worst Asian food I have ever had. Have been three times with my boyfriend, each getting something different on every occasion. Trust me, the only reason we go is when it is pouring with rain and we can’t be bothered walking into town. First thing we ever got was sweet and sour pork, absolutely no sauce mixed in with the rice, it was almost as if they had drained the pork of its sauce and then put it on the rice. Seafood mee goreng was the worst thing I have ever eaten from an Asian food place. The seafood was crab, squid and something else I couldn’t quite tell. The crab was the ones you buy pre packed from a supermarket (surimi packs in seafood dept.) absolutely did not go with the flavours! Squid wasn’t cut up, instead it was about four full tentacles all together – weird! Chips and chicken is greasy and tasteless. Burgers are not traditional burgers, more like sandwich rolls. Food is extremely tasteless but portions are rather large! Not worth the money.
