   Ordered deep fried shredded chilli chicken - sickly red mess that I couldn’t finish even though I was very hungry- cheap inedible crap - avoid 100%

   Pretty bad. Salt and pepper chips were barely cooked and on soggy side. Chicken wings tasted old or like they had been reheated numerous times (batter was rock hard) and lacked flavour. Prawn dishes we had were just ok but portions on small side. 2 stars is on generous side as it was probably most disappointing chinese takeaway I've had. Just felt like zero care went into preparation. Also arrived with about 15 minutes which always rings alarm bells.

   Just moved to the area and fancied a Chinese. I ordered the most basic thing chicken balls and sweet and sour sauce! Honestly it's the worst I've ever had. The chicken balls are too big too doughy and taste of Greece and nothing else! The sweet and sour sauce tastes off key! You are running it like you've given up! So here's a little help! Honestly we come to Chinese restaurants because we love the cuisine! You clearly do not. Shut shop and stop taking people's hard earnt cash for garbage!

   The overall rating really should be higher and is not reflective of the food at all. This is the best Chinese takeaway in Hitchin and their prices are not as ridiculous as some of the others! Staff are friendly, portions are decent and everything is consistent - not too salty or greasy. We had sweet and sour chicken HK style, chicken curry, salt and pepper deep fried king prawns and special fried hofan. The hofan noodles are not the proper wide hofan noodles, they use the thin flat rice noodles instead, but it still tasted good! This is now our new local!

   This has become our regular. Lovely food. So tasty. Would highly recommend. We are vegetarian and they cater for us and give us peace of mind the food is pure veg. Great staff as well as cleanliness.

   The noodles and chicken balls was always yummy !! The salty pepper squid was not freshly cooked , must have been repeatedly fried and tasted like overnight left over. Which is a big disappointment when all the other dishes was super yummy. And they only accept cash hopefully they can move to contactless sooner!

   No contactless and the cash machine outside is £1.50 to use. Not getting more than 1 star until they can move into using contactless especially during covid... Food was good though!

   Ordered a Chinese meal for delivery and it arrived piping hot and delicious. The chips and chicken sweet and sour pieces were very crispy and so tasty and perfect for dipping. I liked that the sweet n sour chicken were large pieces of proper chicken breast. I really like the combination of foods on the menu, great choice. Chow Mein with with fish and chips? No problem! The food took an hour to arrive but it was Saturday night, probably their busiest night. I would certainly order from here again.
