   i’ve driven past this chinese for years and for some reason have never thought to try it. well, today i was walking past and craved a takeaway so i paid a visit. it’s a cute little shop with sweet staff. but where this place shines is the food the takeaway was absolutely wonderful! flavours were bang on and had a unique taste that is unlike any other chinese takeaway that i’ve had before. the portions were a little small but the prices were cheaper than other takeaways so you get what you pay for. they were still enough to fill me up! overall, i can’t believe ive never tried this takeaway before. will definitely add it to my rotation of chinese takeaways that i order from!

   Grew up here in the 1990s, and was the family favourite. Decades later me and my brother frequent here when we get together and still the best. Just not local to us. But the curry is by far outstanding amazing flavour tasty delicious as is the other foods, chowmein, sides etc. Bit oily but can tell they make thier own sauce, very nice, just like we remember it and have had a few times over the past few years. Best by far by miles. My brother comes from down south always looking forward to a New City as do I.

   The food here is disgusting. The chow mein and soup are foul. The soup is oily with rancid mushrooms in it. Yuck! And they don’t have a card machine. The kitchen looks awful. Their attitude is poor. Don’t buy food from here. The chicken is so rubbery - must be days old. Yuck. Truly yuck.

   Been going here since I was little and my mum did the same before that. Always good food and service. I'm not local anymore, but always have to get my Singapore chow mein when I'm in the area.

   Firstly just to note the food here is actually really nice, however the one star is given for the appalling customer service!! After ordering a large order one item was missing (chicken chow mein), on calling to advise of the missing item the manager was extremely rude and I’m accused us of lying saying he put the item in. We advised maybe it had fallen out in the drivers car and could he ask the driver to check, to which the reply was his driver is Muslim and does not eat Chinese so it would not be in his car. Again I advised the one item from the order was missing and we would not lie for one item. He continued to insinuate we were lying and that we had the item. I would advise if you order from here check you have all your items before you pay, otherwise do not expect any apology for missing items or replacement item/refund. Will never order again!!
