Reviews Overview

Customers rave about the generous portion sizes. The mushroom chow mein pops up frequently in reviews, with many saying it's a must-try for its incredible taste and customization options. The sweet and sour dishes are also a hit, making for a tangy delight that pairs well with rice or noodles. The crispy spring rolls serve as a perfect appetizer, adding crunch before the main course.
The staff's commitment to friendly service stands out. They go above and beyond, creating a welcoming atmosphere for first-time visitors and regulars alike. Whether it's adjusting a dish to your preference or providing updates on delivery times, the attention to detail enhances the overall dining experience.
Most Disliked
Some diners mention a cash-only policy, which can catch first-timers off guard. It's wise to come prepared with cash to avoid any inconvenience. This policy, while traditional, may limit some customers who prefer digital transactions.
A few reviews highlight occasional delivery delays. While the staff communicates effectively about delays, waiting longer than expected can dampen the experience. Despite this, many express that the quality of food makes the wait worthwhile, so it tends to be a minor issue in the grand scheme.

I'm staying in the area for a few days and fancied a takeaway. I'm so glad I found this place, I asked them for something that was not on the menu, a 'mushroom chow mein', which was absolutely no problem and according to my wife, was brilliant. The food was amazing, puts my home town Chinese to shame, good portion size, l will definitely use again the next time I'm visiting in the area. If it's your first time using, they are cash only, but you won't regret the visit.Enjoy, we did.

The delivery was later than initially told but I got a phone call to let me know it was going to be later than expected. That's a first to me. I understand that deliveries can be late at the moment but it's good to know and be kept up-to-date. Secondly the food tasted great. I've been struggling to find somewhere around Chester le street that compares to my usual (I won't say which but is closed for now). This could very well be my new regular in the future. I will be using this takeaway again, thanks to great customer service and just as great tasting food. Keep up the good work and stay safe :)
