Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavour: Many enjoyed the tasty, flavourful dish, though some found it too sweet and lacking the expected Szechuan spice kick.
  • Ease of prep: Customers praised the quick, simple preparation, with many noting how easy it was to follow the instructions.
  • Suggestions: Consider adding extra chilli or spices for more heat; some preferred different vegetables like sugar snap peas or mangetout.
  • Portions: Several mentioned generous beef portions, but a few wanted more noodles to balance the dish.
