Most Disliked

Some customers mention occasional miscommunication during busy hours, particularly concerning orders. While the service is overall praised, a few reviews note longer wait times during peak lunch periods. The limited seating can be a challenge during busy times, leading to a more crowded atmosphere than some might prefer. A few diners have expressed a desire for more vegetarian and vegan options, although the existing ones are well-received. Additionally, while most find the prices reasonable, some feel that the cost could climb when choosing multiple dishes or larger orders.

I have tried many chineses in my 25 years of life, up and down the coast of norfolk and suffolk, and when i tell you this is the best chinese i’ve ever had i mean it, the food is absolutely fantastic i couldn’t ask for any more from these guys, the portion sizes and great the food is made fresh when you order and it always arrives steaming hot, after a long day at work my wife comes home and when i tell her i’ve ordered from here her face lights up, thank you for making our evenings exciting and full of taste, here’s to many more orders. lots of love.

This is my go to Chinese when ordering take out. Every time it is great quality, hot and tasty. I specifically enjoy the glass noodle soup and appreciate an establishment having a menu item not frequently found, makes it so i keep coming back! Very much so a crowd pleaser and good prices too

We ordered delivery from this restaurant, just to try something a little cheaper than our usual Chinese takeaway. I can honestly say, I'm never going back! We ordered via Just Eat, and the delivery arrived within 20 minutes, piping hot and smelling fantastic. The portions were extremely generous for the price you paid, and they didn't scrimp on taste either. The menu isn't huge, but I can see they've gone for quality over quantity. The highlight for me was the sweet and sour chicken! It was perfectly cooked and seasoned to perfection. I think this will definitely be my choice of Chinese takeaway going forward. Thank you for a pleasant experience!
