Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

My wife and I frequented this restaurant regularly until we realised the quality of the food and service was terrible. After over two years of going elsewhere, we finally returned on the 29 of February. I am now happy to confirm that our decision to...leave was the right one. Our meal was disgusting. The BBQ spare ribs were tasteless chuncks of fat and gristle. The beef curry was a gloopy mess with chunks of overcooked oinion. We counted three peas. The beef had no taste with a texture I can only describe as unknown. Let's try to finish on a high. The chips were OK.More

Good food and attentive staff. Good variety on the menu and good portion sizes. Have both sat in and had takeaways in the past and both very good.

I only started going here a few months ago, find the selection of food brilliant with something for everyone. Staff are so polite and they accept card payments.

Visited here mid week. Very quiet but worth the trip as the food is delicious! A varied menu and decent prices. Staff were attentive and welcoming. Service was fast too. Great evening out whilst on holiday in Stonehaven.

No atmosphere and cold surroundings. Staff were not friendly and obviously very much driven by home delivery customers. Grossly overpriced for uninteresting bland food served at a lookwarm temperature. Would not recommend nor return.

We met friends for dinner at the establishment recently. This was our first visit and we were not disappointed. The welcome was friendly, the service was efficient and the food was outstanding. Everyone present was very impressed with the whole evening. This place is a...credit to the Chinese community and we can't wait to return.More

We have used this Chinese for many years both take away and restaurant. Ordered our take away at 645 to be told 45 mins. Headed down for 730 to a scene of very irrate customers. After waiting 10 minutes to be spoken to I spoke...to other customers who had been wanting an hour and 15 mins for their "30 minute order". There was customers coming back who only received half their order as well. I approached a member of staff and asked for an honest answer on how long my order will be she said "late". I then cancelled my order. A completely wasted journey. The frustrating thing was that rather than helping the other frustrated customers they continued to take phone orders. Pure greed from the management which will back fire on them as all they were doing was letting more people down.More

We booked a table on a Friday night expecting the restaurant to be busy … however it was not despite Stonehaven being a very busy town for visiting campers …they really should make the effort to come to this marvellous restaurant. We had a set...meal and the food quality was excellent, delicious and well above average. There were three of us and we opted to have a set meal for two, the food we got was more than adequate, the quantity and quality was superb. We will definitely return.More

Could not fault this restaurant in any way. The staff were attentive, the restaurant was spotless and the food was excellent. The waitress was very particular in standing back while taking orders to try and maintain as much social distancing as possible and it was...obvious the restaurant was taking great pains to make sure COVID regulations were followed. The food was excellent - we were a table of 5 consisting off myself, my wife, daughter, son-in-law & granddaughter (6). I had the Thai green curry which tasted wonderful and didn’t burn with chilli like it can do. My wife had the chicken chow Mein which was loaded with chicken. My daughter had the lemon chicken which she found to be wonderful and my son-in-law had the chilli beef which was also very good. My granddaughter had chicken & sweetcorn soup and fried soft noodles both of which she devoured with relish. The meal was a delight and the staff were courteous attentive and extremely diligent in their duties both keeping the customers safe and serving. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough and will definitely frequent it again next time I’m in Stonehaven.More
