What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
The Big Lamp receives mixed reviews, with many praising its generous portions and fast delivery, particularly for set meals and fish and chips. However, some customers find certain traditional Chinese dishes, like salt and pepper items and satay sauce, to be unauthentic or not to their taste.
"Nice food. The beef un black bean and boiled rice was tasty"
Nathan Eastham
"Had a delivery, everything was hot and came within the time stated but the food was just not nice at all. The salt and pepper ribs were awful, the salt and pepper items just tasted like nothing I’ve had from anywhere else, they are literally like English salt and black pepper, not the Chinese style, the prawn toast tasted like they were just soaked in old oil, the sauce with the satay skewers was awful (if you are thinking of the creamy peanut satay you get elsewhere, think again - it’s not that, it’s like a watery peppery gravy). Chips were decent, but wouldn’t rate this as a Chinese and won’t be ordering again."
