If I could rate this food any lower, I'd probably have to invent a new rating system called the "Negative Nom Noms Scale." Brace yourselves for a culinary rollercoaster, folks!So, I decided to venture into the unknown and ordered a mishmash of dishes: sweet and sour chicken balls (with a BBQ twist), egg fried rice (or should I say egg fried Sahara?), beef chow mein (which could probably double as a grease slide), and chicken and bamboo shoots (spoiler alert: it tasted more like chicken's distant cousin).Let's start with the sweet and sour chicken balls, or as I like to call them, the "Recycled Regret." These sad balls of disappointment looked like they'd been through a marathon in a deep fryer and were generously doused in what I can only describe as a failed science experiment—BBQ sauce gone wrong. It was like biting into a culinary mystery novel with a plot twist of indigestion.Next up, the egg fried rice, aka the Sahara Desert of carbs. Dryer than a stand-up comedian's sense of humor, but hey, at least it was marginally edible, which is more than I can say for the rest of the meal.Now, onto the beef chow mein, or as I like to call it, the "Oil Slick Surprise." Saturated in enough oil to rival an Exxon Valdez spill, this dish was a slippery slope to heartburn heaven.And let's not forget the chicken and bamboo shoots, where the chicken tasted more like a conspiracy theory than actual poultry. I'm pretty sure it's what caused the sudden onset of a stomach rollercoaster.After enduring this culinary catastrophe, I called the dragon (aka the restaurant) hoping for some redemption, only to be met with a refund calculation that made about as much sense as a cat trying to understand quantum physics. They even threatened to report me to the housing officer, as if my taste buds committed a crime against humanity.In conclusion, the food was a hot mess, and the customer service matched it in sheer absurdity. If you're looking for an adventure in gastrointestinal roulette, then by all means, give this place a try. But if you value your taste buds and sanity, run far, far away—preferably in the opposite direction of their kitchen.Bon appétit, or should I say, good luck!

All food ordered was hot and mostly lovely except my chicken chow mein had some either small bones or small pieces of plastic in it.

I should have read the reviews before ordering food here. We were visiting the area so I don't think ordering here again would be in our future plans. The food was substandard, all the dishes were extremely salty and carried a similar flavour profile due to the excessive salt. The egg fried rice was okay, just a bit dry.

The food was really nice however no prices on display. My order of six items ( 3 chow mein, two lemon chicken, mini spring rolls and prawn crackers that wasn't in the bag) was £47 which is only £32 in Haslemere. For that I had a missing prawn crackers and half the amount of mini spring rolls ( 5 here, 10 at Wok Star). I ordered and waited in the shop. For £15 less I'd happily drive to Haslemere. Shame as the food was good. But with no price list I should have known better. They could have made any price up on the spot.

Food arrived 1 half hours after ordering, delivery driver tried banging down the back gate instead of walking round to the front door. Egg fried rice was ok however the ‘crispy’ chilli beef was soggy, as was the mixed starter selection. We ordered sweet and sour pork balls however upon eating them we realised they where chicken!! Whatever the meat was that was in there was covered in greasy, soggy batter. Will not be ordering from there again.

Had worst Chinese ever . The egg fried rice was like brown rice. Pork balls with sweet and sour were in thick doughy batter : inedible. Chow mein was noodles with virtually nothing else in it . Duck in pancakes was dried up meat

Ordered online, took over an hour to arrive. The shredded duck was like chewing leather AND included a bone that my husband nearly choked on!!!!! The 'crispy' chilli beef was soggy, and the seaweed was beyond salty. Worst takeaway we have ever had. Needs shutting down.

After waiting over our suggested delivery time I called to chase up the delivery. 1 hour 30 mins later we finally receive our food. Some of the order was incorrect. All of the food was soggy, and only mildly warm. We have had bad experiences before, we should have learnt our lesson.
We ordered for delivery and it came spot on time and piping hot. 1 special curry with lovely tender meat and a duck curry that was superb. The sea food chow mein with gray was delicious. I cannot praise this take away highly enough. Everything was excellent.

Borderline inedible.Special fried rice was literally egg fried rice on one side of a dish with some meat/gravy on the other.Sweet and Sour "mixed balls" looked like they had been run over with a car. Weird brown/grey meat mush covered in half a pound of salt with illuminous pink sauce.I've eaten a bunch of Chinese food. I'm very forgiving when a place isn't "that good". But this is hands down the worst Chinese takeaway I've ever had the misfortune of ordering from. Worse than a place that gave me food poisoning.The only reason I subjected myself to this was because Great Wall is closed on Tuesday and the other one is cash only and doesn't do delivery.Just don't bother. Really. Save yourself.

Food absolutely awful, thought I’d make a change from China kitchen and try something new. Will never do that again. Food was disgusting and all of it has been thrown in the bin, £30 down the drain
