This was a visit borne of desperation and ordinarily I wouldn't think of this place…read more We were fed up with Christmas turkey, ham, roast beef, pork & chestnut stuffing and salmon. We couldn't face another mince pie or slice of pudding either. Talk about first world problems. It was a cold New Year's Day and I wasn't even sure I'd find a place that was open. The two places I wanted to be open weren't - Soi 9 Thai & Dragon Express - so I ended up here as it was one of two Chinese take outs with lights on. Spice of India on the same almost empty street was open but if you read my review on it you'll see why I opted for Chinese. I didn't know what I wanted to eat but my wife had decided on salted chilli chicken, so when I looked at the menu it had a meal for two deal at £13.80 that included salted chilli chicken so I ordered it. The deal was this chicken meal, chicken fried rice, chicken curry, a tub of curry sauce, cheap and unpleasant, pre prepared prawn crackers and a small portion of chips. The food was a bit better than ok but I couldn't say it was really good so a border line three stars. And while it was ok it's certainly not on my return visit list.

It's likely now that dine in will re open here in the next two weeks - 24 May 2021 - for all cafes and restaurants. There's not much to say about the food. It's mostly overpriced, high fat, high sugar, low fibre junk. I occasionally go through drive thru for a cheap coffee if I'm driving out of the city to go to another town as we've no drive thru Starbucks nor Costa nearby and I've never seen a drive thru local independent. The staff here are usually efficient, courteous and this is despite the fact that most staff earn a minimum rather than being paid a living wage when the owners could easily afford to pay their workers properly. The fact is that when governments set minimum wages, capitalism sees it as the maximum wage; the sensible solution must be that governments legislate for living wages and force a living wage for the low paid. The fact is that this international corporation has it both ways as it can and does effectively maximise the price of junk food (google the Big Mac index) and pay the least it can in wages and tax with the taxpayer subsidising the low paid worker and also the big earners. The corporation seems to see no contradiction in signing up to 'fair trade' coffee but won't sign up to fair wages. No wonder when advertising Mc Donald's says it's 'loving it' - yip, all the way to the bank and who knows where after it courtesy of taxpayers and ineffective politicians. Although this is a first review I've reviewed this place several times before so Yelp strikes again with disappearing my reviews.
