Disappointed. I used to order from here a few times but they must have changed chef/owners as the food taste has gone downhill as well the hygiene.
Firstly they sent the wrong items they mistook the Singapore friend rice for noodles…called and they said they would bring the correct one. Acceptable.
Ordered chicken noodle soup and FOUND HAIR IN THE SOUP!!! Called the restaurant again and told the person over the phone who just apologised.
The rest of the other items did not taste the same as last time. Unfortunately won’t be ordering here again.
They have a 15% student discount written out front. Although I was only given a 10% discount but it hadn't occured to me at the time. That's fine though, not that deep.
On the contrary to lots of the old reviews here, the food was hot and tasted decent. The portion size was quite big in one of those Satco microwave containers. I ordered the Beef Chow Mein and given my review id recommend it.
I dont know why but I was given a spoon to eat with lol. I ate the rest at home so wasn't that big of an issue. Be sure to ask them for specific cutlery if you need it.
The state of the shop itself was quite a mess. it doesn't bother me too much but something to keep in mind if you're sensitive to that. It looks like they mostly deal with deliveries anyway so probably not a priority.
To summarise:
+ Beef chow mein was nice
+ Hot food if collected or ordered in-person (no guarantees with Uber etc.)
+ Tasty
+ Option for spicy if you're like me >:)
+ Halal
- Messy shop
- Dumplings may not halal
- No indoor seating to eat
- Charged incorrectly
- Given a spoon to eat noodles
overall 4 stars as the food itself was fine, and that's the most important thing :)
I have a refund! I won’t be ordering again. Said no chicken and was sent chicken balls.
This restaurant only serves Chinese take-away . The menu of take-away dishes is reasonably wide.
Prices are fair. There are some promotional prices available for students.
Only cash is accepted here.
Cleanliness is acceptable.
Service is fair and waiting time is reasonable.
Reply to the lovely owner
The only ignorant here is you and your behaviour towards customers. But good for you, everyone will see it here.
I tried to call you 50 times! Not mentioned that I called Uber and they tried to call you too and said that my only option is for you to pick up the phone and cancel the order!! £36 blown off and then you telling me that I’m a ignorant? You never made a mistake I guess! Maybe try to pick up your phone next time! Have a lovely day!
Its not your fault 5* for reply 1* for your rudeness
