"We popped in for lunch after driving down from Fort William on a Friday. The place was quite busy,with no booths available so we took one of the centre tables, but the very MINUTE another guest left she moved us to a booth by the...window. The first menu we were handed was the lunch menu, which offers 3 courses for £8. But being from the Fort where there are 3 TERRIBLE chinese restaurant we asked or the full alacarte. I ordered salt pepper chicken wings for a starter, and the Seafood combo, and his fine self ordered the oriental chicken noodle soup and a beef curry withh fried riice. My wings came and the portions were so large I shared with him! He throughly enjoyed his soup woth the oriental egg noodles an got some wings as a bonus-lol!Shortly after the waitress advised me that the kitchen was out of scallops for my combo, but offered me extra others in it which was AMAZING. It came out with a surplus of big fat juicy prawns, squid and mussels in a sesame sauce garnished with an edible rice flower truly outstanding! His beef curry was devine also, the onions in it were thick and sweet, and the curry sauce was just spicy enough with a light cinnamon undertone.Needless to say, we both hit the clean plate club and had NO room for desert! YUM YUM YUM! PS I used to live not far from this restaurant and their take-aways are just as good as their sit downs Always a treat to visit here!"

"As i say, book ahead. Food wise, the enchiladas are the best in the area, but the daily specials mean daily special. They weren't on yesterday, probably won't be on tomorrow so if you want one, order it. Chef will believe you if you order rare steak or duck (both on the specials), and can also do things like cooking scallops properly. The bar staff will actually mix cocktails properly. I ordered a Virgin Mary and got the full service with the cocktail shaker, not just a few drops of Tabasco in a glass then add a bottle of tomato juice. The only reason this is a 5* review is that I can't do a 6* one."

"This restaurant offers excellent food for takeout only. The pizza is amazing, and the steak pie is the best in Dumbarton. The enchiladas come in both vegetable and chicken options and are very tasty. There are so many options to choose from. The fish is fresh, not frozen, and the portions are generous. The staff is friendly and the service is top-notch. This is a great spot for a dinner meal, with prices averaging between £20 and £30 per person. I highly recommend trying the steak pie."

"The food at this restaurant is amazing, fresh, and delicious. The restaurant itself is modern and spotless, and the staff are incredibly friendly and attentive. As a vegetarian, I was thrilled by the variety of options available. This is certainly the top dining spot in Dumbarton. We've already made reservations for our next visit."

"I HAVE GIVEN THIS PLACE 5 STAR REVIEWS ON HERE IN THE PAST FEW YEARS BUT NOT ANY MORE! I order a meal for delivery last week it was my partners birthday and we spent almost £30 on a meal for both of us. It had been a long time since we had a delivery as we didn 't bother during the lockdowns as carry out places were so busy. We ordered the following: SPECIAL CURRY/FRIED RICE CHICKEN MUSHROOM/FRIED RICE SPARE RIBS IN PEKING SAUCE SWEET SOUR CHICKEN It was midweek but the order still took 40 mins it used to be 15. Food was hot so good there. The special curry was all curry sauce and sparse....really sparse...ingredients....a total rip off. The sweet and sour chicken 's batter was soggy they really don 't know how to make batter. The peking spare ribs were the worst thing I have ever had the misfortune to buy from any chinese resturant in my 45 years of ordering from them. It was just BONES nothing but BONES there was no meat on them at all but even worse was the sauce!!! Anyone who has ever bought this dish will know that what you pay extra for is the luxurious, delicious, peking sauce, which is a rich thick sauce which tastes absolutely DELICIOUS but this was just sour WATER it was absolutely DISGUSTING and was the exact same sauce as the disgusting sweet and sour sauce which was just SOUR SOUR SOUR there was no sweetness to it, no tomato, in it no pineapple in it, just pure GARBAGE....the whole meal was a disaster. Three days later we tried again at the silver star Chinese in Dumbarton East and oh my god what a difference the special curry was full of ingredients and the peking ribs were EXACTLY what they should be that luxurious delicious sauce we all know and love. The ribs themselves were thick with eating and they even made it look visibly good by garnishing it with red and green peppers, onions, etc. Never ever again will I go to Tastes good (hah!!!! not!!!! STAY WELL AWAY FOLKS THE HONEYMOON IS WELL AND TRULY OVER!"
