Tried this Chinese food as it was local to the area and first off all, the value for money is absolutely incredible. This order came too around £32 and for the amount of food we got, you can’t be disappointed whatsoever. The quality of food was nothing to be concerned about either, it was your standard Chinese quality. Nothing over the top but certainly nothing to criticise. Free prawn crackers and spring rolls for orders over £20 were also a nice touch. I’d recommend the salt and chilli mozzarella sticks and the pork balls as they were by far my favourite from the order. The only slight criticism i have is we ordered a salt and chilli chicken chow mein and we received one that included prawns and other meats. Not a complaint as i’m a fan off this but the other half isn’t but that just meant more for me. Definitely worth a try if you’re in the area. Bosh.

Reviews
Honestly the freshest and best tasting Chinese food I’ve had. The orange chicken was crispy and had really fresh white chicken. The orange sauce was tangy with the perfect sweetness to it. Bag of chips had so many I couldn’t get them all in the bowl, super crispy too. Got the Singapore chow mein also but called up to ask if I could get chicken only and the woman was really friendly and said no bother. Arrived within 20 mins but I do live local to the shop. Overall amazing place and my new go to Chinese 👌🏻
Read on Google MapsThis was our first time here - our new local Chinese takeaway, and it was so delicious! We had beef with ginger and spring onion - beef was perfectly tender. King Prawn sweet and sour - prawns cooked perfectly with gorgeous crispy batter. Salt and chilli chips also sensational. Look forward to continuing to support this local business with kind and friendly staff. Totally recommend.
Read on Google MapsHad chicken satay on skewers with chicken curry fried rice and salt chilli chips. Very good size portions and lovely dishes will definitely be back
Read on Google MapsI certainly won’t be ordering again. Do yourself a favour and order from elsewhere. Absolutely embarrassing for any food place to have the brass neck to send out sub standard food £35 lesson learned Extremely poor
