19/04/2026: Food was ok, I had ordered chips and I know they are cooked it oil, but it looked like they weren't drained properly,and the oil left on the plate was black We had all been seated by 7.15 and although we had been given our drinks nearly straight away, I had to go up and ask someone to come take our food order at 7.35 People who had come in after us had gotten their food before we had even had our order taken I understand they are busy with take out orders, I want impressed by the lack of service,

18/02/2026: I love House Special with Sichuan sauce and rice :) Food and customer service are great.

07/02/2026: Got a take away. First time using this place. They forgot a dish in our order,which is ok it happens so we told them at the desk. However pretty rude response. Just told we had to pay full price for the dish they forgot. No wait time given barely an apology or thank you. No offer or price reduction for their mistake. We drove 20 minutes in for it. Young girl on front of house crap attitude no smile, just rude surly. Won't be returning.

19/04/2026: The Best Food in Ashbourne for over 20 years!!!

21/12/2025: Best Chinese takeaway for our household. We’ve had birthdays with takeaway from here and works for all tastes

05/04/2026: food really nice. woman over the phone very rude. called me broke and spoke to me very rudely. 0/10 social skills over the phone.

04/05/2026: Got the Spicy Salt and Chilli Chips today and they had sugar on them, which I wasn’t expecting. When I called, I was told that’s just how they make them. I said it wasn’t for me and I wouldn't order that again, but got told, 'I could find them somewhere else, thanks' and she hung up the phone. Rang back and spoke with who I believe may have been the owner/manager and was told I basically shouldn’t be calling to complain, thats how they make them for the last 25 years . He felt she wasn't rude in how she handled the call as he was next to her. Fair enough if that’s their recipe, but the way it was handled wasn’t great.

25/02/2026: Truly A Feast For the senses. Never before have my tastebuds been so vigorously stimulated. My entire family still Crows about tss restaurant. Glory to the GWCR! Attached is a photo of the meal, and another photo of a satisfied consumer of this delicious medium (meal) 💨💨

20/04/2026: Got a spice bag and it was dry, no veg, salty and stringy chicken

08/02/2026: Malaysian curry with egg fried rice was delicious! Honestly one of the top five curries I've had in my lifetime. So flavourful. Staff were super friendly

29/03/2026: Was in yesterday for sit down great service staff was lovely girls were so helpful food was fast and delicious

07/02/2026: Probably one of the worst experiences in a Chinese restaurant and any restaurant for that matter. Food was edible but that is about as good as it gets. Our experience consisted of unhygienic ethic and unmannerly service. Firstly one waitress was mopping and drying the floor with a towel as we arrived, then then served us our food without cleaning their hands and left the dirty towel that was dragged along the floor on another chair in the restaurant as we were eating. Then after that, as we were eating, we were sat next to a plug in Bluetooth speaker that was apparently setting the atmosphere but the only atmosphere it set was the smell of a cheap, broke owners who can't afford Spotify or YouTube premium because it kept playing adverts the whole time we were there. And they didn't even let a song finish, kept skipping songs halfway through. And to top it all off, 2 waitresses were having a conversation as we were eating that the whole street could hear, and swearing with foul language during the conversation, no manners, ethetic or awareness of what service should be at all. Most definitely will not be returning to this place.

10/04/2026: Staff were lovely and welcoming but that food was pretty poor. My wife had pains in her stomach 5 minutes later from the sweet and sour chicken. Deep fried and oily. I'm seriously wondering how someone gave this place 5 stars. The chef must have been on holiday for us. Won't be going back.

17/03/2026: Everything was dry. Rice was hard. Ordered shredded chicken in curry sauce. The sauce came on the side and the portion was so small I had dry rice and just about more than a drizzle of curry on my chicken which was bone dry. The 3in1 was also very dry hardly any curry sauce in it. Worst chinese take away I've ever had. Their response when I called was "ok we will give you a free curry sauce next time" absolutely will NOT be a next time.

09/03/2026: We just ordered two spice bags and they were cold, dry with rubber chicken. We paid for extra chicken and veg but we didn't get anything extra unfortunately! We ordered before and were satisfied but we won't order again from this place. Not recommended 😕

01/02/2026: The lady who took order from me was coughing and she was literally sick 🤢 and I ordered chicken with Satay sauce and fried rice boom came home and there is no rice and they charged me for the whole things damm what a waste
