   Not one for posting reviews but felt the need as feel our meal was a complete waste of money. Service was good, food was prompt and very hot. Unfortunately that’s the end of the good as the food itself was truly awful. Chicken chow mein had zero flavour, literally tasted of nothing! Noodles were boiled not fried and the mushrooms tasted like they had been sat in water for quite some time. The carrots and broccoli were identifiable by colour only as they tasted the same. Curry sauce had a kick but no actual curry flavour and the special curry was just poor in general. At £37 this was expensive in my view and made worse by the fact we didn’t actually eat it. Never again, very very poor quality.

   Not a regular, own a caravan in Easington and called on the way. We ordered a chicken fried rice, pork chow mein and sweet and sour chicken balls. While I appreciate every Takeaway will differ recipe wise I thought these dishes would be fail safe. How wrong was I? The noodles had been boiled not wok fried, the pork was in huge wedges and tough to chew, and the whole dish was tasteless.The chicken also had the weirdest texture, couldn't figure out why.There was also huge pieces of broccoli and carrots on the chow mein which was also a new one to me but not unpleasant. Very disappointed but lesson learned. Just wait till we get home! :)

   Food is served fast enough. Can tell it's a hard working smaller buisness. Can also tell it's authentic. I opt for the Szechuan and kung po tofu with the salt n pepper chips to put it on. Nice n salty and tofu spicy enough. Allergens are clearly labeled near the desk for anyone with preferences or allergies.

   Food ordered 10/01/24, prompt service as usual ready in 15 mins, part of the order was ok although not as nice as it used to be. Unfortunately one of our dishes was totally inedible the amount of chilli used was ridiculous. The dish does say it contains chilli, however it should still be edible. Left in the bowl was over 50 pieces of chilli from the small amount taken from the carton.

   Just had a mix starter for 2,all reheated tasted like old fat,the chicken balls as a main were rubbery and just the same,the best thing was the egg fried rice and sauces/curry /sweet and sour,.looks to me as there's a laziness due to a captive audience, won't be going again.

   Tonight was the first time we have used this takeaway and the food was lovely. We had peking style ribs and special chow mein. The ribs had plenty of meat on them and they were very tender. The ingredients in the chow mein were fresh and the whole meal was very tasty and well cooked. Compared to other takeaways we have used in the local area, this was a cut above, excellent.We will use again, well done to the chef. Keep up the good work and excellent standard of food.

   Just tried the house special curry from this place and it's the worst I've tried from anywhere definitely don't recommend with only 3 small pieces of chicken and 3 king prawns which were not cooked thru properly at all the beef and pork were very fatty and tasted bland but there was a large amount of onions in which made it look a fuller curry but its not worth the price of £5.90. The camera never lies so they say, take a look for yourselfs. Would not recommend this place to anyone.
