    I returned here only because the Thai takeaway on Canal street was closed…read more as it's superb. So as I was stuck this place was the least worst option so after quite a few months from my last visit in I went to place my order and by some glitch in the modern world of AI and high speed technology, guess what, it's now cash only. So I got a vegetable curry which was good and a salted chilli chicken similarly good. The fried rice was really poor because the soy sauce used was chemical rubbish and without any egg in it. The 'free' prawn crackers were a miserable portion and tasted of cooking oil. Starters have now risen in price (again) to be what main dishes cost just a few years ago and mains prices are just silly now for what is at best very average Chinese fast food and this place is one of the better ones. It's really not worth it anymore. I also get that feeling that I'm subsiding JustEat and I really don't want to do that. If I pay by cash I want discount and I want better quality food. I was in M&S yesterday and bought a few of their mains Chinese dishes as they are so very good. Most important we know what's in them. They also have a crispy beef dish and a black bean dish that certainly easily match anything from a local takeaway and the sauces they do like sweet chilli, lemon and sweet & sour are much better than the takeaways by some way. I can also add my own fresh chilli, fresh Thai corn, water chestnuts even Pak Choi to their dishes.

    First things first; we don't have any great Chinese takeaways in the Newry or Banbridge area. I've…read moretried most of them. There's one or two that I know to avoid. There are those just at or above average and those that go toward pretty grim. This one is usually just above average but last night it slipped a bit. Our order varies between two and four people. Last night it was for three at £19 so the prices aren't very high. But with gas and oil dropping hugely it's time to see prices coming down as they were quick to put them up when gas prices rose. Had I sent £1 more if get a 1.5 litre of soft drink. We always order king prawn salt & chilli and salt & chilli chicken. Both these dishes last night were far too salty and too spicy. Just not pleasant really. I'm not going to mark it down for this as most times it's not that bad. The bewildering thing about this is it's usually the same cooks so I don't get the inconsistency. The portions are generous too with 10 king prawns and lots of salted chicken pieces too. Downsides are the same and found across a number of local takeaways with anything chilli being the cheap sharp dried flakes there's not a piece of fresh red chilli to be had. Local Chinese takeaways serve up a mass of lightly fried onions and green peppers in almost every dish - red peppers are the same price now and much sweeter, so time to change to red! Another unwelcome, all to common bad thing, is this habit of drowning food in cheap sauce; sweet and sour or black bean is meant to be a coating around meat or fish not a container full of liquid with meat or fish swimming in it. Most of the Chinese takeaways in the area give free prawn crackers when you spend about £10 but in every case these are the cheapest brand of cracker and they are pretty lousy eating. Finally the one sauce that is darn poor here is the sweet & sour and that's a pity but fixable.
