Food was nice all round, however halfway through eating and feeling something sharp, found that I'd chewed down on quite a long piece of metal. Luckily didn't chew fully down as this was sharp at both ends and could have been far worse. Won't be returning.
I really enjoy the food at this Chinese place it’s always tasty and hits the spot. But I have to say, I miss the young girl who used to work there. She had such a great personality, always cracking jokes and having a chat. It made coming in more than just picking up dinner it was something to look forward to. The food’s still great, but it’s just not quite the same without her friendly face and fun banter.
I arrived expecting my food to be imminent as the woman on the phone said 35 minutes much to my annoyance I was told the food was nearly ready then I had to wait a following 25 minutes I’m the waiting area on a crusty chair the woman on the counter informed me it would be 2 minutes but it was 10 I became inpatient and said I was leaving because I’d had enough then miraculously, the food was ready when I got the food it was soggy and below par I would not come again I have been left underwhelmed
It took a while to come (it's Saturday night so to be expected) but it was really worth the wait. We live in Spain so don't get to eat Chinese food very often and the Singapore fried rice that I had, was the best I've ever tasted. The char siu pork that was in it, was absolutely delicious. Best chinese I've ever had.
Wow...... 1st thing you see is the worst looking fish tank in the world on the counter... Poor things.... And next to that was a sporty ginger bird who obviously hates her job... Mind you I don't blame her working here..... Cash only as the tax man won't know....... Didn't order food as it looks shocking.... And her attitude matched it...... Avoid..... Really I mean it.... Slamming the door on customers is a joke........ Just like your service standards.......
