I went here last year and it was one of the nicest Chinese food I’ve had, so decided to go back today. Now there must be new owners or chefs because the food is absolutely rank and inedible. I got a snack box and the chicken, chips and ribs tasted like they were taken from the bin and heated up, even the curry sauce didn’t taste like curry sauce, I actually feel sick after eating some of it. The place itself is gammy looking warm and mouldy. The health inspector needs to pay a visit to this place. Don’t even waste your money in this disgusting place, you’ll probably end up with food poisoning.
