"Great choice and never been disappointed with the food. The original owners are back after the previous owners decided it was too much. Since the originals owners have come back I've never had a bad meal or anything missing from my order. I'd even go as far as to say I smell something other than Pot Purri from the 1 reviews. This place is a hidden gem."

"By a country mile the best Chinese takeaway food in the area. The Lemon chicken is just as it should be made. And compared with many other takeaways their meats are tender and never chewy. I’m lucky to live just round the corner"
