Used this place quite a few times then the guy serving csme of with a nonsense story. Phoned to pick up a chow mein one night, told me no noodle in stock, then when few weeks later to order over counter to be told, the chef doesn't make chow mean any more for us type of people, asked him why and he started talking in chinese as if he didn't understand me and just ignored me as if I wasn't standing there. Absolutely shocking.

Few moths ago me and my boyfriend had take away from this place and it was lovely, tasty. But when I passed few times this place, the chef was spitting outside so loud that my stomach turned and it made me actually sick. The food was lovely but for the discuting loud spitting I won't be back.

Read on Google MapsJust as the other comment said, the hot-spicy pot here is very good.
