Ok this is a nice local place for me, from a few reviews on here from other people I totally get the 1 or 2 star reviews, I was probably being a bit nicer in my older review (left below), haven't ordered in there for a while (covid-related financial issues) and when I noticed a review mentioning the Winter Vomiting Virus (Norovirus) I do remember going by this place a good while ago before said review when it had signs up (no idea what for, probably just a temporary covid measure), but I do see them open now when I pass by, was about to order from them at the time I was writing this and it was worrying to read. Now negativity biased people review more then positive people (people tend to be happy with their food and not review it since they know it to be good/don't think people read them) so I kept that in mind, I'm likely not going to order here unless I'm desperate now though, I have had a few orders since my old review and one time I had an order where the food gave off a bad aftertaste (wasn't rancid but didn't taste the same) but I was fine afterwards, haven't ordered from here since but that experience and what I'm reading make me want to drop my star rating from 4 to 2, not outright dismissing the place since they could still do good food, that one experience might have soured it for me though.
Review from about 2-3 years ago when I gave this a 4*:
Pretty decent food, not 5☆ amazing it it is up there. They have a large menu and are in walking distance for me so they are a great range of food which I can collect. Usually I get there when it's nearly ready or ready, depending on how busy they are. I've ordered for Collection for the majority of my orders and have ordered for Delivery a couple of times when I've been ill and not felt like walking and the delivery driver is nice and quick. There are a few cases where I added to the order to not include white onions to it as a preference but it may have slipped past their view once or twice. The cooks in there know what they are doing though and make pretty authentic and tasty food.
Always get good service here whenever we go
Lots of parking outside and offers delivery
Great prices aswell and alot of options on the menu
So far not had a bad meal and its slways hot and tastes fresh
All in all a great Chinese would deffo recommend a try if you are nearby and hungry
The Curry sauce is amazing too!
I told the restaurant if it’s not here in 5 minutes then I would cancel the order. The app was still showing the order was being prepared- when I asked why this was the man said it’s because he hasn’t got time to press the button !!!!!!!
I called back 5 minutes later - the restaurant said the driver had returned already as I had cancelled the order - which I hadn’t at that point. I don’t believe the order had ever left been made or even left the restaurant - what a waste of a Saturday night and the opportunity to have a meal with the family without cooking - will never use these again !!
