I ordered a meal for myself as a treat while taking care of a sick family member. Unfortunately, most of it ended up in the trash. The house mix starter for one was actually really nice, but the house special fried rice in sauce was terrible. It smelled like boiled fatty duck with thick fat on it, and everything was steamed with hard rice. The chicken with cashew dish had the same sauce as the rice and tasted strange and flavorless, with rubbery chicken. I enjoyed the starter, but the rest was unpleasant and will be thrown away. It's disappointing to waste money and food, but I can't eat it. Even the prawn crackers didn't taste right.

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.

Ordered a takeaway. Very unfriendly young woman totally ignored me for over 5 minutes as she continually answered the phone. An acknowledgment that I was waiting was all that was needed. Salt and pepper ribs were fatty far too thick and tasteless. At the bottom...of the container a thick layer of crumbs and chilli were soggy. The vermicelli noodles were tasty but it was hunt the shrimp, thinpork and chicken slices were plentiful but quite honestly the whole dish was underwhelming. My first and last visit.

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.
