It used to be our go to over 4 years ago. Ordered the same thing which I used to order, but the taste was just not there! Chicken seemed quite sticky and the sauce so watery with with no texture.
I would maybe try something else from there to give them another chance but not for a while.

Fantastic delivery experience with prompt service and friendly staff. The food is packed well, tastes incredible, and portions are generous—excellent value for what you pay. I’ve already recommended this spot to my friends. Worth every penny, 10/10, highly recommend!

Fast delivery, well-packed with no spills. The food was still hot and fresh. Generous portion, authentic taste, not greasy, great value. The shop is very careful with details. Highly satisfied and will order again!

It’s a restaurant that will surprise you, all the dishes are cooked in a traditional way that will bring your taste back to homemade cook. Don’t judge the book by the cover. Try it and you will agree with me 100%.

Had a delicious "house special stir fry noodles." House specials in my personal opinion are always a safe bet if you haven't eaten at the restaurant before. Just like any Chinese fast food, it tasted like some MSG in it (not surprisingly though).

(As of 2019) Note they only accept cash. The place was almost empty, and they served me the moment I ran back from the TESCO cash point, like 5 minutes after ordering.
