Good food. Good service. Friendly staff. We ordered Taiwanese food, which was authentic. Ordered twice now and both times were great. I had one item missing, though I ordered quite a lot and it was a small dish. The owner put it right - called me, instantly refunded and apologised. That was good service in my books. Well done. I was skeptical at first because the reviews weren't great, though these all seem to be around delivery. Mine arrived on time twice.

The order was delivered much quicker than the expected time. Food is tasty as well. Highly recommended

The worst delivery meal ever in my life.

The meal arrived 80 MINUTES after I placed the order - 35 min longer than I'd been promised to by the restaurant! When it finally arrived, the delivery guy didn't even bother to offer a slightest apology. Already the dinner was off to a bad start.

When I removed the food from the bag, I noticed the starter was in a broken plastic container (see the picture), and since the broken shard was nowhere be found in the delivery bag, I could only assume that the container was already broken before it left the restaurant, i.e., the kitchen KNOWINGLY sent out the order in a broken container - so much for health and safety and food hygiene.

The experience was absolutely dreadful and appalling. Never again.

Excellent value Chinese and Taiwanese food. Delivery can take long time though.

This was a really bad meal. The order took 90 minutes to get to me. It was meant to be 30.

The food was not good. The roast duck I ordered looked sickly. Like a wet chicken.

The sauce was so sweet, I didn't want to eat the food.

The duck pancakes were grissly and soggy.

The dumpings had very thick skin and the meat felt floury.

The delivery driver didn't even apologise.

Really, really bad.

The best Chinese in the area!
Definitely worth trying, especially their Taiwanese menu.

This place serves up great traditional Taiwanese Chinese food. These lower review ratings are a complete nonsense by people who don’t understand good traditional, Asian home cooking. Braised pork belly and tomato egg are particularly good. Two thumbs up! Give them a try if you’re looking for an authentic option.
