Only given 2 starts for the nice prawn crackers, rice and fast delivery. The food was dry in my opinion, with the chilli beef having no sauce etc. Didn’t feel satisfied with how much you spend and what I received. I will not be ordering again.

Best Chinese in town, always friendly, good food, always our go to!

I ordered on line. There was nowhere to say when you wanted the food, so it came at there convenience I.e. before I really wanted it. When it did arrive it was all undercooked so I had to throw most of it away. When I rung to complain there was no interest, no offer of compensation or a replacement meal. I'll use the other Chinese in the town next time. They can't be worse.Added in response:I concede that I could have put a time in the comments section, it didn’t occur to me that that is what it might be for as I have invariably in the past order ed,with other takeaways, by phone.I acknowledge that any retailer (and individual, for that matter) can get things wrong and it was in that light that I rang to complain. Had I have bought something else on the High Street and it was substandard I would expect to complain and that the retailer would have a policy for dealing with such things and that the staff would be trained in how to deal with them. It was clear that when I rang the person that I spoke to had had no such training and from the level of response/abuse that the owner has produced she/he has no policy other than to defame the character of their customer.Rather than wanting to take advantage of a small family run business, since moving to the town I have done my best to stop using online retailers in favour of local shops following the mantra “if you don’t use them you’ll loose them”.

Used this Chinese for the forest time this evening and I have no complaints.The food was hot and tasty. The noodles in the chow mein were perfect and the sweet and sour had lots of juicy pineapple which is a bonus for me.Easy to order online and friendly service when collecting I couldn't really ask for more .Thank you for the freebies too .

Ordered online which was very easy however wasnt overly impressed with the food, Singapore noodles had no spice to them and the special fried rice was watery. Also didn’t like the big chunks of meat just placed on top of the rice. Personal preference but wouldn’t order from here again if I was back in the area.

Perfectly decent Chinese takeaway. Nothing special but does the job if you're in the mood for some spring rolls or special fried rice.

Delivered to Shaftesbury on time. Food generally good and generous. Gave us a free Lemon Chicken for some mysterious but welcome reason! Maybe a £50+ spend? - we like to get a greater variety and freeze it for a second future meal. Chicken didn't seem to be reconstituted (a gripe of mine) but 'real' so they score there. Minor complaints were that the ginger and spring onion chicken had no spring onion and rather too much onion. Made it a gloopy, beige mass. Fresh ginger so that's good. Too much sugar overall in the meal but that's a general takeaway thing. Aromatic duck pancakes good. Pork chop suey nice. Crispy beef still crispy as we ask them not to pour the sauce. Singapore rice noodles fine. 5* recent health rating. My wife enjoyed it and she doesn't always relish takeaways.
YOU D MAN
Not really impressed to be honest the hong kong style sweet and sour chicken was lacking in sauce the chow mein was tasteless and covered in some gloopy sauce that didnt have a nice texture no taste if garlic or soy sauce wich i would have expected the curry i had the sauce was quite thick and the meat hadnt bern cut properly so was all stuck together really dissapointed to be honest as it was our first time trying it will wait a bit before trying again as i believe everyone deserves a second chance and could just be an of night although a couple of reviews have said about the lack of taste so maybe they need to look in to it as its a shame as tge portion sizes and price is good

Having recently moved here we were keen to treat ourselves this evening. We are so glad we did! It arrived earlier than expected a d still hot. Food was delicious and not overpriced. They even threw in free prawn crackers and pancake rolls! We would definitely recommend and buy from again! Thank you from Anthony too!

We were very disappointed by our meal which was presented as nicely as any other takeaway but unfortunately completely lacked any sort of flavour. The seaweed tasted like it was literally just sugar and even the 'spicy' dishes were flavourless and barely edible. The pork in both the char sui and another dish were overcooked and rubbery - the crispy aromatic duck was fine but a little overcooked. Everything was genuinely jusy very bland and even the chillies had no flavour at all... I wouldn't recommend to anyone and a lot of it went in the bin which is a shame and a waste.

I rarely give reviews but we were so disgusted and disappointed with our inedible meal that I need to review this establishment. We popped in and ordered a takeaway after a long train journey. The wait time was around 15 minutes. When we got home we found the only acceptable dish was the fried rice (not the egg fried rice we ordered!). The chicken balls were mostly thick soggy dough, containing barely cooked chicken. The chow mein was extremely greasy and tasteless, the “spicy” pork Ba Wong had some nice crunchy onions but the red chillies were tasteless, the pork mostly visible lumps of fat and the sauce insipid and gloopy. 95% went in the bin.We will never return and cannot work out where the positive previous reviews came from. They only take cash - how do they get away with that? Oh and the floors were dirty so I wonder about the kitchen? My advice is to avoid this place it was abhorrent

The special fried rice was like plain rice with everything in. No taste very disappointed. Would I order again from here. No far better Chinese around.
