Living just round the corner from here, it is exceptionally easy for a cheeky Friday night take-away.... However, having eaten here just three times I can honestly say I will head in to town or pay extra for delivery from a Chinese restaurant that gives food worth paying for...
Let's start with the good stuff. If you like chow mien, then this place is good. Both time I have had it from here it was tasty and I enjoyed is.... Now for the not so good....
Curry - this is easy to review. It is THE worst curry I have ever had. Honestly, just looking a the luminescent yellow slop (I mean, we... Sauce) I was instantly put off, but not being one to go hungry I progressed to pour it over the sticky boiled rice, take 3 mouthfuls leading to feigning surprise at the pure gumption that somebody actually took the time to cook and serve it with a smile on their face. I would liken the curry to that of a colmans Chinese Curry mix you would find at the local morrissons, mixed with some radioactive waste to give it a 'glow'.
So next was the chicken and sweet corn soup. This absolutely amazed me. I didn't even pour it into a bowl when I got home, for one simple reason. I thought that if I did, the sheer solidity of the 'soup' may have broken my bone china - not to mention my colon.
Crispy Shredded Beef ( careful it says hot on the menu ) - now this is one of my all time favourite dishes, although so deeply scarred am I now, that I don't know whether I will ever be able to eat it again!! It was indeed shredded beef, covered in sweet and sour sauce (to the best of my taste buds - and I don't like sweet and sour), with a few slices of chilli thrown in there for good measure. Needless to say - I couldn't eat this, and settles with the chow mien, which at least was quite tasty.
Not often I leave reviews, but this place is the absolute worse!!! read more
