First takeaway from here, at least since back in the day since she was the garden. Sezchuan chicken, onion rings and salt and pepper chips for Ā£16 summat. First of all the worst point, the onion rings, the same generic onion rings youād get from a kebab shop or supermarket freezer, not the succulent deep fried rings youād associate with a Chinese. As an onion ring connoisseur I take this as a personal affront. If youāre not bothered about how you take your onion rings then there was at least a good amount of them. For me I have to give 1 star.
Moving on to the salt and pepper chips, very good, at least a 4 in my book, served in a cardboard box with a proper portion, not the childās portion of salt and pepper chips which you often receive from a Chinese, where thereās half the amount of normal chips , just because theyāve got a bit more chili and seasoning. Good job jacks.
Finally the Szechuan chicken, first time Iāve ever enjoyed such so really have no comparison, essentially a sweet and sour chicken with more spice and no batter on the chicken and a lot of onions. Would I get it again based on this experience ? Maybe, though Iād probably go satay chicken next time. Iāll give it a 3 to a 3.5. Prawn crackers were included, which seems to be rare these days on a meal below Ā£20, Iāll give jacks an extra point for this. All in all Iād have to give jacks a 3 - 3.5 star review, if Iām honest the experience as a whole was somewhat up and down, I feel this is fair from the limited sample which I did...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreTonight we visited for the 2 nd time , as our last visit was fab , especially the staff a man and a lady maybe the owners Iām not sure but they were so friendly and made our visit so lovely , tonight however the absolute opposite, so disappointed as a meal out for a family with the current cost of living situation is a special thing and a treat which canāt be done often . I wonāt list all the many things that made tonight an unpleasant experience but the biggest let down was the attitude and lack of hospitality of the 2 members of staff this evening. Food was very salty and the sauces where really sludgy and thick and strong in taste , gutted last visit was like being in a...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreMy family and I had a take away almost two weeks ago. Hard to know what you're ordering as there are no descriptions on the online menu. When ordering they stated they only needed 15mins for collection which is slightly alarming . The noodles were fine ( however we asked for veg and they arrived plain, the chicken balls were really tough (meat), not very nice really. The tofu in black bean sauce had a nice taste but the tofu had an odd batter. Overall it was quite plain, very oily and not worth the rating it has. This wast terrible, just not good...
