Rang to place an order for chinese, ordered and was told it would take 30mins which was fine as it is a public holiday and they said they were busy. Asked how much would the order be but got hung up on, not sure if the person that answered did it deliberately or just didn't hear my question. Rang back to confirm price to be told sorry we will have to cancel that order because we are busy then they (a young male) hung up. Not a great impression or great service, if they are to busy to take more phone orders then either explain that from the start or don't answer the phone. A very disappointing
Gavin, 3 months agoHuge portions, fantastic percentage of meat in the Chinese meals. Felt a little ripped off when I realised the Chicken Fried Rice was $17 and then added cashews was an additional $4, but good meal regardless.
Nick Gerr, 3 years agoIv been going there for years food is always fantastic cooked to perfection. I can never find fish and chips as good when they are on holiday twins is the best in nz and being a truck driver iv tasted all over nz and not tasted better
