I can’t fault this place. They offer a really reasonably priced £5 lunch time meal box which is basically a large container that can be filled with either rice or noodles(or half and half) along with a selection of any three of their mains. I usually go with sweet and sour chicken, crispy chilli beef and Chinese style pork. You even get two mini spring rolls thrown in if you please. The food tastes great, very typical Chinese takeaway, couldn’t have expected better!

Ate from here last night, the most ropey mushy semi-transparent bad tasting chicken we’ve had for ages. Food standards should be on their case, seriously! Spring rolls are just the tiny bulk buy rubbish you get in a frozen bag at any budget supermarket, sesame prawn toast was pretty rank and tasted cheesy, the beef in the black bean noodles was sinewy and unpleasant too. The portions are generous for sure, but the quality is really low, look elsewhere in our opinion!

I wasn’t expecting much from this little Chinese take-away around the corner. I only went there the first time because it was the closest food-serving establishment open at the time. I ordered my usual standby, chili salt prawn(the name it goes by here is King Prawn with Salted Pepper and Chili, or #87). And why do I know its number? Because I’ve come here a number of times since, and I haven’t been able to stray from it. It is my standard bearer of chili salt prawn in London. Every time I eat it in the office, I always get questions about what smells so good and where can they get some. I have also had the Singapore rice(tasty curry rice, not authentic Singaporean, but that’s a losing battle), and the boy has had some chicken dishes. They also started a lunch special not long ago which is a great deal BUT incredibly greasy. It’s a carb(noodles or rice) with 3 mains and a side, however much will squash into the plastic container.

At lunchtimes £4.50 will get you a box stuffed with as many of the different standard Chinese dishes sat steaming behind the glass as you can point at(at least until they start giving you slightly dirty looks for trying to fit too much stuff into one box). The options haven’t changed for as long as I can remember, and includes bases of Egg Fried Rice, standard Noodles, Vermicelli Noodles and Ribbon Noodles, topped with the usual selection of Chicken or Beef in Black Bean, Crispy Chicken, Sweet and Sour among others, plus Vegetable Spring Rolls, and on the odd occasion the smallest Sesame Prawn Toasts known to man. The quality of the food is OK. Nothing to write home about, but certainly nothing to complain about. Admittedly on occasion the Crispy Chicken has just been made up of crispy coating, but compared to many other places who offer an all you can eat service they don’t tend to bulk up the portions with lots of vegetable and very little meat. They could do with labelling the food behind the counter. The first few times I visited the lack of labelling, plus condensation steaming up the glass made it almost impossible to know what I was choosing. Pointing and asking what each one is usually just ends up with them assuming that you want whatever it is you’re pointing at and loading it into the container.
