Zero stars. ordered a pad thai and hand on heart, it was the worst i’ve ever had. tasted and looked like a load of ketchup had been squirted all over it. i never usually bother to complain or review but the quality of that dish was abysmal. needless to say, they’ll receive no more orders from me and i shall ensure my friends don’t make the same mistake

A group of us had takeaway last week and it was a mixed bag. I had the mixed platter to start, very average perhaps even poor, it was tastless and just microwave reheated I think. The red Thai curry was appaling, I couldnt even eat it, it was gloopy, thick and the appearance was awful, same with the green curry. However the Chinese chicken curry was excellent , spicy prawns were lovely and the beef and mushroom was good too. The easiest of dishes, Prawn crackers, were awful, cold and chewy, not sure how you get them wrong !. I would never get takeout from there again. Very disppointing to have most of the meal be inedible.

Spare ribs were covered in an inedible, tasteless mush. Chicken in the chicken curry was tough and tasteless. The duck chow mien was tasty but very greasy. We waited 1 hour and 45minutes for delivery and it was dearer than our usual Chinese which is unfortunately closed at the moment. Won't go there again.

I don't understand the bad reviews for this place and it certainly isn't expensive. I am a fussy vegetarian and there was so many options. They also do Japanese, Thai and Singapore.The food was cooked perfectly (especially the duck according to my partner and Mum). My Mum was visiting and even said it was the best Chinese she has had EVER and that is some serious feedback if it came from my Mum.They were only late by about 15 mins but it was a Saturday night and the food was still hot so it wasn't an issue.Deffo our number one Chinese now.

Five friends gathered here for an evening meal,. Our drink order order was quickly taken and produced. We each ordered a different main course from a very comprehensive menu. There was something on the menu to please all tastes. Perhaps a little slow in arriving , but well cooked and appetisingly served.. The sweet menu is also very varied, well served and we were all pleased with our different choices.Service throughout was excellent without being invasive. Value for money and we shall return
