    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.

    Got the value box £22.50 and never seen smaller portions before a handful of chips and a half a tub…read moreoff the regular size rice in fact everything is half the size off a regular tub size and the smallest spring rolls I have ever seen the size of your wee finger diffidently won't be getting a value box again at £22.50 I don't know were the value is but tasted ok.

    It was ok. I won't go back again. I disliked my meal at the start as it wasn't what I had ordered…read more I was the only customer in a faded, tired place with two tired faded staff sitting idle until I went in. I asked for king prawn salt & chilli with noodles and a salt & chilli chicken with fried rice. Both meals cost £14.30. As it was my first visit I emphasised that the meals must be dry. He confirmed yes. I insisted the prawns had only a light batter, a small amount of chilli and he said that the batter is light. On reaching home neither dish was dry rather they were an oily, sugar/water solution. I guess each meal had at least a half dozen spoons of white sugar - this is poor, cheap rubbish stuff. The meals also came with copious amounts of scarce cooked onions. Neither chilli dish contained a scintilla of fresh red chilli. Again this is food where no expense is spent - the idea is to make the cheapest rubbish possible to maximise all important profits and to heck with the customer or their health. Being sugary wet the king prawn batter which was a heavy batter (not light) became wet and soggy very fast. As was the case here. The prawns were also well over cooked. The fried rice was very good though and I didn't open the noodles. Living in a city where we have only crap rip off Chinese places has become tedious.
