Went in to indulge a craving for salt and pepper chips. Unfortunately, this didn't come paired with salt and pepper chicken. Ordered some plain chips, salt and pepper chicken and a tub of curry. The food was alright, definitely not what I expected from the chicken, flavour wise. The curry sauce was also unlike any I have had before, a bit watery and had the colour of gravy. Not feeling so great in the hours after eating
The worst meal I have ever ordered, will definitely not be ordering anything from here again.
At least hire an illegal immigrant that can cook
Food tasted horrible and the Chicken and sweetcorn soup tasted like it had about 10 spoonfuls of sugar, definitely won't ve ordering from here again
Have been 3x now as I’m here for work and so far so good
Atmosphere? I had a take away lol
OK it has to be said when my food arrived it really didn't look at all like what I expected. I have had crispy chicken a million times before (give or take a couple of hundred), it's my favourite Chinese dish. First of all it was all in one container, with the rice, which I do not mind at all because it's going to be mixed on my plate, right? The container by the way, was larger than the average Chinese container and filled to the brim.
The first thing I noticed was that there appeared to be some salad at the side of the dish. Coleslaw? Nope, it seemed to be mixed ginger. OMG, I was in heaven, I love ginger and the two different types were just delightful! Thanks for that.
Next the rice, my first thought was that they had used wild rice because it didn't look like your normal fried rice but it soon appeared that it was very fine slithers of some sort of spice, it kind of looked like saffron. Whatever it was really worked well. The rice was delicious.
Where they did fall down was the crispy chicken. The flavour was great, sadly the chicken was tough and tasted almost as if it had been cooked and re-heated from yesterday.
Would I go back? Yes, most definately, but I wouldn't order before 6pm again and I doubt I will order the chicken, probably stick with vegetarian.
Dont normally do reviews only if i feel that it should be worthy to mention for the good or bad on this occasion for the bad Absolutely disgusting not one of the 3 meals ordered was edible all 3 plus side order of soup(all chicken) binned £30 wasted strongly believe chicken was off in all the 3 meals ????
Worst take Chinese take away I’ve ever had , none of us could eat it , rice was not fried rice , curry sauce was vile , soft noodles had lettuce, cucumber and all sorts in it , food was freezing when it arrived. Highly depressing, I do not recommend
Ordered from here after reading "good" reviews! Are you all having a laugh, ordered Chicken balls- the batter was dripping grease, the sweet & sour sauce stained my oak table, mixed meat curry can only be described as disgusting, 100% would NOT recommend, The worst chinese we have ever had.
