Most Disliked
Some patrons have noted occasional oiliness, especially in dishes like fried rice and sweet and sour options, which can detract from an otherwise enjoyable meal. A few have expressed concerns about the potential fat content in certain items, highlighting the need for lighter cooking methods. While the restaurant enjoys high praise, a select few have mentioned that not all dishes meet their personal preferences, particularly in terms of spice levels. The casual environment means that peak hours can lead to longer wait times for takeout, especially during festive occasions. A tiny number of reviews point out that while tasty, certain menu items may seem repetitive after multiple visits.

Outstanding takeaway, it is by far the best Chinese takeaway in Newark. We ordered food on Christmas Eve and New Years Eve both being over £100 for our family and friends. Food was delivered on time on both occasions (Pre Booked slot). Plenty of flavour and red hot. I have heard they source all their veg from the local Newark market which I find quite nice as it supports local businesses. Thanks we really enjoyed the food and couldn’t recommend enough. Scores on the doors are the best in Newark by far and they have a consistent 5* hygiene more than other Chinese takeaway’s. This hasn’t gone unnoticed. Keep up the great work. Happy New Year

The food is cooked in an open kitchen style. Watch while they cook. Quality of the dishes are very good and service is quick, but not rushed. They're open all week too. We like it a lot.
