   I ordered from here recently and i have never tasted anything so disgusting. They called me to advise the items i ordered were not available and tryed to have me cancel the order. I soon found out that this is because if i cancel an order i wont recieve a refund. When we did get the food 30 mins late, it tasted foul. The curry had a strange taste, the duck tasted like beef, chicken balls were soggy and stale. I am flabergasted they managed to scrape a 3.3 hygiene rateing. Do not use ever.

   Dont ever order food from here!! This is by far the worst Chinese food me and my partner have ever eaten (and by eaten we had a couple bites) The whole lot is about to go in the bin whilst we look for something else. Everything was stone cold as it took nearly 90 mins to arrive. It all tasted as if it was days old and was just unedible. There "prawn toast" is a piece of white bread from a 19p savers loaf, drowned in oil with 1 singular prawn in the middle with 90% being floppy oily soggy old bread. Dont even get me started on there "curry sauce" it was a congealed mess that tasted like it had been sat in a workman's boot for a week. The chow mein was also terrible but ive run out of words to explain how bad. All in all I dont know how this place is able to stay open as surely knowbody is stupid enough to ever make the mistake of ordering more than once. If this review stops 1 person having to attempt to eat any of there food then I'll be happy. DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE!!!

   Ordered a chow mein got part way through it and as you can see from the photos. They had left part of the wire brush they use to clean the woks in the wok and I was pretty lucky I bit it and didn’t swallow it. Will 100% be the last time I order from this place. Iv never seen anything like it

   Our usual takeaway was closed so tried here. Will not be ordering again, dry and bland food. The kindest thing I can say is that it was filling.

   While I waited for my food, I watched the chef cooking. He stirred a pot with a ladle then dipped his finger into the sauce on the ladle to taste it. Why not use a spoon? Why his finger? After adding some seasoning with the ladle, he stirred the pot again. He repeated this three times - stir, lick the sauce with the same finger and stir. Add to this a dirty fish tank and dead daffodils everywhere. Not a good or auspicious look. And the food was awful. I had a dish of solid tofu; I guess over microwaved. I couldn't chew it. Then there was something rock hard in my dish - enough to hurt my tooth. It looked like a piece of hazelnut shell, but I was able to snap it with my fingers, so I have no idea what it was. I'm never going back. No photo of the offending food item because I've thrown it away.

   Absolutely appalling. Was basically accused of trying to get money back for nothing. Dry overcooked duck , soggy crispy chicken , cold food. Manager was rude and said it was only me. Would not even give it one star. Valentine weekend totally ruined. Stay away.
