Been using for this place for over 3 years, the food is always remarkable and they are making new dishes and is excellent. The fire cracker chicken is fantastic and the noodles is fresh and the perfect accompiant. The best thing is to see the open kitchen, as it s always clean. They should do tofu d...

Was told delivery would be 70 mins at 7:50pm it arrived 38 minutes late when their app still stated that delivery time was between a 55 and 60 minute wait. Just a note that I ordered on their own app not just eat and only live a 5 minute drive away. When it finally arrived it was soggy and luke warm...

Chose this place after it was recommended on a local group and it was perfect. Ordered for 12 people and we all loved it. Piping hot, earlier than we thought it would be, delicious and delivered with a smile (I don t know why but this makes a huge difference ). This is my new regular.

Ordered food and it took 2 and a half hours to come. There was no apology and the driver just said 'you have to pay' when I said how long it took. Food was only warm and tasted awful. Would never use this place ever again. I don't not recommend it.

Thoroughly enjoyed our set meal. So much sophistication for a takeaway. Just amazing. I found many of dishes perfect, the duck was tender and not to fatty, pancakes, salad pot and sauce was great addition. The sweet and sour was not to sour and was balanced great.

Don't accept orders if you can't cope with the demand and deliver when you say you will deliver. Over 3hours me and my kids waited for. I ended up making them food because you didn't answer the phone and then it turned up. So I've paid nearly 30.00 and wasted a meal for my kids. Not a time we need t...

Not awful but not even good either. Expensive for the amount of food and the food quality (meal quality, at least) isn't even satisfactory, let alone good. Some of the food items were slightly greasy. Save yourself the disappointment and your money. It's worth getting Chinese food from the Wollaton ...

Food was luke warm if that, the chow mein was bland and tasteless. Food was 20 minutes late. Even the prawn crackers weren't great, even for free I'd class them as poor value for money. What Chinese Restaurant cant even get prawn crackers right?

Arrieved bang on time, hot food, cold drinks, packaged carefully. The food was really yummy. The 'happy family' black bean dish was tasty, Singapore noodles were nice and spicy, all the crispy things arrived crispy, no soggy seaweed or spring rolls. Will definitely order from here again.
