Place was dirty and had a dead turtle kept in a tiny tiny container with barely any water.Can’t imagine what the kitchen looks like if they can’t even be bothered to clean where the customers

Accidentally bought from this Chinese when I meant to order from Red Dragon further down the road - paid £19 for 3 items, chicken soup tasted overly sweet, S&P chips were undercooked under seasoned french fries and I paid £7 for 4 quarters of prawn toast. Totally ripped off and the food was awful. There are better chineses on Fawcett road.

First time ordering here and not impressed. Massively overpriced for the quality and quantity of food. Spent £45 and no free prawn crackers when my local gives them if you spend £20. Food was bland, meat was over cooked and the chow mein had next to no meat in. Not happy with our order and ended up chucking it.

Delivery driver was polite, that’s it…… visiting at a local holiday park, politely called to ask if there was a delay and to make sure food was still coming when it was 15 mins late. Woman on phone was rude and when food did arrive most of it went in the bin. Tasteless, fatty, greasy and overpriced. Would rather go hungry! Avoid like the plague!

1) i pulled out a long black human hair from my mouth while chewing on one of their dumplings. as you can see in the pics, the hair is attached to the meat, suggesting it’s “cooked into” the meat, i.e. the hair was already there before the meat was cooked. so i called the restaurant. the very rude lady first insisted they’re not responsible because they purchase their dim sum frozen from a 3rd party and they just steam them. i tried to explain to her that since they’re the one who sold it to me, they’re responsible for this transaction between me and the restaurant, including compensations where applicable; it’s then their right to go after their supplier. the same way if i bought a defective coat from h&m, they can’t just tell me to go chase after some factory in vietnam that makes the coat and not give me an exchange or refund. the rude lady initially rejected this idea, but immediately said they’re not doing refunds because the delivery app company doesn’t pay them, and that they had customers ask refunds from them and also the delivery app company. just excuses after excuses, but she wouldn’t budge. (i’m currently still dealing with the panda food app, who said they’d refund me for the item but i haven’t yet received it.)2) food-quality-wise: i’m born & bred in asia but spent my entire adulthood in the west, i’ve had more than my fair share of mediocre to bad dim sum. i have to say, this restaurant’s dim sum is by far the worst i’ve had. worse than any frozen dim sum i’ve had from any supermarket or convenience stores. they’re very greasy, the dumpling skins are very thick and disgusting (“snotty” is the word that comes to mind to describe the inside of the xlb soup dumplings). just… YUCK!!!3) the disgusting dim sum here are super overpriced!!! there’s a place for decent dim sum in portsmouth that sells real authentic dim sum for like 2/3 the price at the end of commercial street, between McD and a chinese grocery shop. i’m not affiliated and i shall not name them, but it just breaks my heart when people are cheated and fooled to come to have negative views about one of my favorite foods.

I ordered chicken gyoza. They charged £ 7.50 for for 4 small gyoza. Hard as a rock. Chinese lady have been so rude . Food basically so salty never order again. So ?

The worst Chinese I have ever ordered, I ordered the curry and It was disgusting. Chicken was vile the chips was skinny and rubbish and hardly no sauce. waited over an hour for food for it to just go in bin very disappointing never again!.

This used to be my local regular Chinese years ago and after seeing the bad reviews, I thought these can’t be true... BIG mistake! The most overpriced slice of bread and charcoal you can’t even cook with. The “Large spring rolls” were not large, were burned inside and tasted like they looked. The “Sesame Prawn toast” was a rip off at £5.80 for one slice of deep-fried coated bread and £3.30 for the dip, together costing more than my main dish. Won’t be going back!!
I LOVE a Chinese and this is the best I have had! Chilli salt chips, deep fried tofu, mock chicken in black bean sauce, onion rings and spring rolls. All SUPER tasty! 10/10

My order was amazing. Egg fried rice was soft and tons of flavour. My mixed seafood noodle soup was absolutely amazing, squid cooked perfectly and 5 large muscles that were definitely fresh. My boyfriends crispy shredded chilli beef was devoured in no time and said it had the perfect amount of kick to it, that it was for the taste but didn't make it difficult to eat. Only issue was that he ordered vegetable spring rolls but they came with pork, no issue for us though. Came with 2 mandarins, 2 yen for Chinese new year, 4 fortune cookies and some really nice smelling leaves. Was unsure seeing the reviews but gave it a go and my god it was good. Most authentic Asian food we've had in a long time. Definitely ordering again

Made the mistake of ordering from here without looking at the reviews - worst takeaway I've had in a long time. Everything tasted bland and pretty much just tasted wrong, and it arrived cold. From all these reviews there is no wonder they are changing the name of their kitchen.

Terrible food, soggy prawn balls, tasteless prawn toast, spare ribs tasted like they were made last week and heated up with zero flavour. This place needs a massive change to do well- very poor food and I also complained to the lady- she came over and was extremely rude when all I wanted was a refund.She never apologised and was so defensive, she throw the money at me. I will never ever go back here- I will warn people never to eat here.

Poor service. Ordered via just eat approx 90mins before they shut. 40 mins after placing the order I get a notification saying they have cancelled the order. It is now 11pm most places have shut but this place is still open for another 45mins so no clue why they cancelled the order or why it took them 40mins after the order to do so. Ordered due to house move and most cooking stuff is packed.
