Most Disliked
Some frequent visitors have expressed a desire for the return of popular items like sweet and sour king prawns, lamenting their absence from the current menu, which can lead to disappointment.
Additionally, while the service is generally praised, occasional busyness during peak hours might lead to longer wait times for takeout orders. Some diners have noted that they would like a bit more attention during these hectic moments to feel valued as customers.
Moreover, a few patrons mentioned the different batter used for chicken balls, which may not appeal to everyone. While many enjoy this unique twist, it’s important to keep individual preferences in mind.

The fish and chips here when cooked fresh is one of the best that I have had at a very reasonable price. While I was in the area this was my weekly Friday treat - sometimes twice a week 😀

The best Chinese in the area, staff are always great and the food never disappoints. They use a different kind of batter for the chicken balls, more like a fish batter. Personally I prefer it this way (please don't change it!) but I guess just something to be aware of

Had lovely tasty King Prawn fried rice this evening. Prawns were cooked to perfection. We also had Sweet and Sour Chicken in batter. Arguably the best around. Light thin crispy batter and generous chicken chunks. The cod was freshly cooked to perfection and my mum thoroughly enjoyed it. I'd give 5 stars if we could get our favourite Sweet and sour king Prawns! John used to do the best around! Light crispy battered Prawns. Please start doing them again, even if it's only one night a week! Sweet and Sour King Prawn night! 😋😉 Lovely service off the girls behind the counter. 💐 OK. I'll give the 5 stars! 😘

We placed a large order for 25 Fish and chips and were very happy with the service and lovely fish and chips which were individually packaged, delivered on time, hot succulent fish. Thankyou Chans for a great service at a time when we just needed a break from catering for a large crowd. Will highly recommend you! X
