Personally I think a lot of these reviews are false. I live in the area the last 3 years use them almost weekly, have never had a bad meal!!! seems like there are a lot of trolls out here everywhere!!!!! I get weird reviews on my Google pg.. that are complete crap and I've never seen the people in my life, so read reviews but take it all with a Grain of salt, until you've had your own experience of their food. I'm on my way there now.

Second visit here for some quick and easy Chinese cravings. I wasn’t a fan of the Shanghai noodles dish as it only had chicken and carrots and lacked flavour for me but my kids absolutely loved it, and since the dish was for them I’m happy if they are! The chicken, vegetables and cashew nuts is quite tasty, just order noodles or rice separately for this. Also quite liked the chicken fried rice which I asked to be made a bit spicy and they obliged. The portions are very generous too. Really liked how nothing was greasy or oily. The lady serving at the front is also quite lovely. We’ll definitely be back!

They're not in a rush, but they make great food at a decent price :) They also let me bank transfer the cost as they dont do paywave. Lemon chicken on fried rice, fed 2 of us for $18.50 - delicious!
