Don't know what these other reviewers have been eating, or what their idea of 'good' is - but this place is AWFUL.
Crispy chilli beef - what you get is, a plastic tub full of anaemic grey fried beef... and a pot of Hoi-Sin sauce, That's it. Nothing else. Sesame prawn toasts - undercooked (white !!), doughy, flavourless. Chilli and salt squid - chewy squid ridiculously over-salted. I have eaten an awful lot of Cantonese food in my time - and I worked for 5 years as a chef - and this stuff is, honestly, to be avoided. I can only imagine the the "best Chinese in Northampton" reviews, have been written by the owners or their family. It is, in fact, in my opinion, the WORST I have ever eaten in all my years of living here. I had to chuck the beef round in a wok with some onions and peppers and chili and soy sauce and honey (as it should be cooked !!)... just to make it bearable. I had to switch on my fryer and re-fry the Sesame Prawn Toasts until they were properly cooked. The squid (oh yes and the squelchy tasteless Yung Chow Fried Rice) went in the bin.
If you want to waste £20 and end up having to cook your own dinner anyway - then try it !. If however you want a decent takeaway that you'll want to go back to - try China Red in Kingsley Park. I just wish I had been bothered to drive the extra five minutes over there tonight.
Pathetic attempt - if I could give zero stars then I would (probably minus a couple for...
Read moreOrdered a takeaway of crispy chicken with plum sauce and egg fried rice, and I've never been so disappointed with a takeaway. The chicken had a really strange taste and texture to it, the plum sauce it was in tasted bland and far too sweet, and the egg fried rice tasted very plain. I also found a number of black hairs in my food. Only managed a few small bites of chicken and then filled up on the rice.
After seeing the positive ratings for their food I was really looking forward to my meal, however after this I will not be trying any more of their food. I really don't understand how others have left postive feedback on their food. I don't know if the restaurant inside is any better quality, but after my experience I think it's best to avoid this place and try somewhere else. Really...
Read moreFood arrived quickly but it went down hill from there. Ordered chicken with lemon which means with lemon sauce from literally anywhere I've had Chinese food before, but not here it comes with a small lemon wedge which it doesn't state on the website. I called to say there was no sauce with it and this is when I'm informed it doesn't come with lemon sauce so I paid near on £6 for bland fried chicken. Also the quality of the chicken in the chicken curry is awful, I'm not completely convinced it's actually chicken. So I had very expensive rice and curry sauce. I've given 2 stars simply on the speed of delivery and the curry sauce was nice. But in all honesty I'd rather wait a bit longer for delivery and get better food. Definitely would not...
