Portion too small to worth the price !I would post the picture of it but It does not let me do it...

We ate fish & chips, we got a very large fish, which was very well prepared, the meat was soft and crumbly. The fries were also delicious. We will come back another time.

If you want chippy, go elsewhere tbh, also the Chinese is very poor. Special chow mein just dumped with a load of soy sauce, absolutely swimming in it.

Used to be my fave Chinese for years. Was very disappointed with yesterdays dinner. Gave us icky belly’s.

I've ordered from the shop for years and always have delicious food. what made it extra special is the wonderful delivery driver turned up dressed as santa and gave the kids a present each. how thoughtful! couldn't recommend more.

Ordered a special chow mein, it was almost all noodles with a very very little else. Chow mein had a weird dirty flavour. Nothing special about it. Rib portion was laughable and they were dry as a bone no pun intended. My wife's fish and chips were awful also. One to AVOID!!!!

I order regularly sometimes chips/Chinese. Either meal is enjoyable. Portion sizes are good. You must have cash to order.

This shop use to do really nice food , but unfortunately it don't look or taste like proper Chinese food anymore , I gave it another go after about 8 months to see if it had improved, No No No see pic this was supposed to be Singapore rice noodles looks more like chopsui with veg and bamboo shoots and it's so bland :((

We ordered the other day the girl that took out order sounded like she didn’t know what she was doing, took ages for her to sort our order out and when it turned up it was wrong but as it take too long to reorder we just ate it, then next day my wife was I’ll with possible food poisoning , there food has gone down hill so bad now, will not be ordering food from there anymore , wouldn’t recommend one bit , there are other Chinese restaurants in Harlow witch are much better than this place, food is mostly always over cooked over spiced like they don’t know how to cook , was a great place years ago but now it’s a disgusting place to buy from ,LOOK ELSEWHERE!!!!

Amazing place, just wish they took card payments :)

I can’t believe in the year 2023 they still only take cash. They must lose a lot of business cos not everyone carries cash.

They changed the food. Curry sauce that used to be best in harlow is now unrecognisably disgusting. Chips taste like cardboard. You get 4 ribs instead of 5 or 6. Crispy beef tastes of garlic. Everything has gone so downhill its disgraceful.
