"eating is good, especially the pork and duck dishes, but if they claim to be open until 1 o'clock on Friday and Saturday, then we're sorry that we're not now at 0015 't the best, their delivery times are finished earlier (before 2300) on the day before celebrates. I personally feel that you eat too much meat and not contains enough veg (even if they are much meat and besides no veg like, this can be positiw for them, as the meat is often well cooked) and their sauce is always something too sweet, but both are subjectiv, but their roasted rice is very oily and is not the best, but they cannot win them all. their delivery staff gets the job in courtesy wise and they supply warm eating fast. Moreover, the phone staff are good and give a time forecast and total price with any order that is good, as some places have told me, the end price is up to the supplier, again personal preference, but I prefer a fixed delivery price, even if I live next to or at the rande of their delivery area, it keeps the dinge fair for all customers. I didn't expect meelin star to cook or amazing service I just feel that their style of food doesn't fit me personally, but it is not a bad take and they definitely worth money, especially if they try to have two (or more) people with a single dish and side (and maybe a starter) before they had said that they did not deliver an hour or so before closing."

"Was meeting a friend for lunch here, had heard good reviews about the place. Arrived and noticed that although there was a small queue, we were the only group of 2 and noticed 2 empty tables for 2 sitting empty and ready for use. You’ve to wait at the door to be seated. The staff were back and forwards past us numerous times as we stood there for at least 5 minutes. As they went past they deliberately avoided eye contact each time, and no one greeted us, or acknowledged us. Others were coming in behind us and with no service whatsoever, 2 pairs of visitors left. We were getting fed up waiting and being deliberately ignored. Stopped a staff member and asked for a table for two. He was rude and abrupt, muttered something, handed us a menu and walked off. I called after him that there were 2 empty tables which we could use. He ignored me and walked away. At this point we decided to cut our losses and we left. Very bad customer service and rude staff who deliberately avoided eye contact as they repeatedly walked past us. A quick and simple “we’ll be with you in a moment” or “sorry, there may be a short wait”, or even just an acknowledgment that we and others were queuing would have been polite. But none of this, we may as well have not been there. First impressions last and I’ll remember the way we were treated and I’ll not be back. I’d give it a miss if I were you. Shame because the food looked nice and I’d heard good reports. But they clearly couldn’t handle lunchtime which I wouldn’t have described as busy. As I said, there were several empty tables which we could have been directed to. There’s no space for queuing so the staff, and there are plenty of them, just no one taking charge, really need to up their game to even get customers in the door to stay while they faff around and ignore new arrivals. Our lunch in the Secret Garden just up the road was first class, we were immediately made to feel welcome, and had our table and food ordered in minutes!"
