First time visiting here. I read some of the other reviews first but wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt plus it was convenient for the location at the time. I ordered a kids meal chicken balls & chips. I also ordered a chicken chowmein and a curry sauce as they didn't offer salt & vinegar. The wait wasn't too long, which was good, as it wasn't the most comfortable or friendliest place to be waiting. The chicken chowein was actually pretty decent. The curry sauce was decent, and the chips were decent. However, the chicken balls .. well I recommend avoiding them altogether.. they were dry, they were not the typical battered balls you'd expect. They seemed to be breadcrumbed and battered to a point I thought they might have mixed up the order with chicken nuggets (which were also on the menu). The meat was really tough and chewy also. I showed them the 'chicken ball' that wasn't, and they confirmed it was a chicken ball. I'd call it inedible. The pictures are included with this review, so I'll leave it to your own judgement. In summary, if you're hungry and you want convenience then its ok here but if youre picky about the quality of your food or want decent chicken balls I'd recommend going somewhere else. To note this place is cash only but they do have a sign on the counter mentioning bank transfer.
Really lovely food. Had salt and pepper chips, spring rolls and chicken balls. Also got a variety of sauces and it was all very crispy and fresh and really nice! Would definitely eat from here again. Portions were big too!
Really good food, great prices. Impressed with the 2 orders we have had so far. This will be our regular from now on! Lemon chicken is superb, as is sweet sour chicken!
Very poor, curry taste was very weak, beef was off, bbq sauce was not nice, bbq ribs were not great, chow mein was just ok even the free prawn crackers were stale. there are much better chinese take aways around.
Have you ever been to a chinese restaurant?? The chicken balls were tough, over cooked and tasteless. The king prawn fried rice had half a prawn in it and the sweet and sour sauce was neither sweet nor sour. It appeared to have been made of water, vinegar and orange food colouring. Half the food wasn't delivered and it was late too This chinese was literally a thousand times worse than having ball cancer.
