Extremely disappointed with the food and, unfortunately, with the very unprofessional attitude of the person at the front of house.
I ordered chicken chow mein and prawn fried rice. However, when I opened the boxes, the dishes were the opposite of what I had ordered. The fried rice contained roast chicken instead of prawns. Using roast chicken and then frying it again resulted in the chicken being extremely dry, hard, oily, and almost cardboard-like, with some pieces being very dark in colour.
The prawns were also very disappointing. They were cold on the inside, warm on the outside, and had a mushy texture, which made me question the freshness and quality of the ingredients.
I called the restaurant to raise my concerns about the food, and I was genuinely shocked by the response I received. Instead of acknowledging my concerns or offering any form of apology, I was simply told, “That’s the way we do things here.”
Considering the prices being charged, I expected a much better standard of food and customer service. Unfortunately, the food was so poor that it ended up in the bin.
I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was genuinely unacceptable. The quality of the food and the attitude towards a legitimate customer complaint were both extremely disappointing. In my honest opinion, the restaurant needs to seriously reconsider its food quality and customer service standards.

Ordered chicken chow mien here and the chicken was black. Not good wife had chicken fried rice also very poor. Wouldn’t recommend this restaurant for takeaway. Rang them when got home they didn’t seem to be interested in our experience. For the life of me how could a restaurant serve black chicken in one of their dishes. Won’t be back sorry
