Visited for a sit in meal which was our first taste from this restaurant. We shared a set meal for two. All food was piping hot and tasty! We asked for extra prawn crackers for our very keen 2 year old, which was not a problem. We all throughly enjoyed our meals and will return. Note for anyone with little ones they don’t have high chairs to offer.

Thought we try this place with only visiting for a few days, we didn’t book and got a table but the woman who was at the door didn’t seem to be impressed or wanted to be there! The food came out very quick but wow it was so tasty,hot! 🤤 Asked to take what was left home and had to box it up ourselves that I’ve never done before 😓 If I was ever around there agin I would go back just because the food was so nice!

Update. I have ordered from them a few times since the review below, and have decided that 5 stars is now in order. The food is excellent, and normally ready in under 15 minutes, and they have not got my order wrong since the review below. A one off. If you do not want certain ingredient I your dish just say so. The staff are very polite, and efficient. I leave the negative review below so that it can be seen that I have reversed my opinion. Highly recommended. Old review: Last time I ordered from this restaurant they stuffed up my order. That was a few years ago. Tonight I decided to give them another try. Guess what? They stuffed up my order. Don't get me wrong, the food is excellent, but with a take-away do not expect to get what you order, it may be close, but not correct. Beef in black been sauce, get chicken. Prawn and chicken. No chicken. By the time you get home it's not worth complying about no chicken in your prawn and chicken dish. Also, they like to 'add' ingredients not mentioned in the menu. Order shrimp fried rice (shrimp & rice, sounds simple, two ingredients, shrimps and rice) and for some reason it has peas in it as well. If I wanted shrimp and pea rice I would ask for it.
