"The chinese food from here is next level good! The noodles are handmade not from a packet and they were so accommodating to remove the peas from the fried noodles for us. The honey and lemon bluecod is out of this world and the sweet n sour pork has actual pork not lumps of mainly fat with a little bit of meat. The prawn fried rice is also exceptional. The kids love the chips and hot dogs as well. Definitely our go to from now on."

"Affordable. Friendly staff. A few of their takeaway items are homemade but taste great. 4 stars atm as past few times now our chop suey patties have absorbed the oil while cooking (on the inside) so weren't great."
