Amber Chinese Food in Scottish Borders

Love the Amber, huge menu and new additions are super tasty. Good delivery service too.

Food was beautiful and staff were great x, 😁

Chicken kung po, not likely more like pork accused off lying when we phoned them. Got dish that I was meant to get eventually but only sent half portion of rice which was hard. Poor service won't be back

I do love this wee take away. Good portions size and never dry as you find with some take aways

I phoned for a family meal I was asked to pick up 20 minutes later. Food was ready on time and we had mixed starter, king prawn curry, salt and chilli chips and shredded chilli beef. All dishes were delicious and very impressed indeed.

It was good in the past not any more. Horrible dry chicken and tasteless sauce. No redeeming features in any of the four dishes bought. £20 pus down the drain in times when we are all counting the pennies. Most of the meal ended up in the bin. Will certainly not be back that's for sure.

This chips and curry sauce was good I have try the chicken I did not like it

Absolutely disgusting, got a mixed meat curry, sauce was as thin as a bald man's hair, enough salt to give me high blood pressure and only 1 prawn, 7 bits of chicken and 5 small slices of beef, lesson learnt NEVER AGAIN, would rather go on the Ethiopian diet

This place use to be good got a chicken curry last night along with other items but the chicken curry didn't really have any chicken in it was full off onions looked like an onion curry

Brilliant salt and pepper and rice noodle dishes, sometimes the rice isn't that fresh but it's definitely one of the best Chinese's in Galashiels

A simple request, "Can you put together a nice meal for six, including one vegetarian, for £100?" "No, we can't do that, you have to choose individual dishes from the menu." was the answer from two Chinese restaurants in Peebles and one in Innerleithen. But, a charming young lady at this restaurant (Amy, I think) said, "Well, it's not something we normally do, but I don't see why not." Let me tell you, the banquet which she assembled and which my party picked up when they exited the cinema two hours later, (conveniently, just along the road), was not only delicious and superbly varied, it would easily have fed a party of ten!! Well done Amber, you will certainly have our business again! (One tiny criticism from me, but not my five fellow diners, is that I found a few of the dishes had a little too much salt. However, I find that with most foods. So, if like me, you prefer less salt, you might want to request that up front.)

It was ready at exactly the requested time. Piping hot, delicious food, great value

Sometimes all you want is a portion of Fried Rice with Duck and this place will provide it for a reasonable price.

Took 1 hrs and 45 minutes to get to us. Chips looked and tasted like they had been re heated 3 times. Crispy shredded chicken in honey chilli sauce was hard and tasted burnt. Was completely inedible. First time iv ever been here. Will not be going back. Do not recommend

Beef curry. Not nice at all. Curry sauce was more like thick gravy and spice was burning like badly made curry powder thrown in. This was meant to be a treat for me. Very disappiinting. Wont be having tgat again.

Best chinese in Gala. Polite staff and tasty food.

Lovely polite gentleman and amazing food. Highly recommend

Excellent delivery, the food was very tasty and plenty of beef and chicken in there portions, had it delivered to Melrose and was still lovely and hot will definitely use again....

High quality delicious food. Friendly staff and very quick service.

Fantastic mock meat dishes that you can't get anywhere else! Had with kung po sauce and it's delicious. Highly recommend.

Food took ages to arrive but was lovely, very clean and fresh. All items ordered were delivered and was very good value for money.

We’ve been using this takeaway regularly for months and was usually very good and have previously recommended to friends. However, not any longer! The past two takeaways have ended up in the bin. Tonight’s offerings were disgusting....even the dogs wouldn’t eat it. Inedible poor quality food. Special fried rice consisted of soggy overcooked rice, 3 shrimps, 2 slices of rubbery overcooked pork and 2 slices of dried out chicken topped with a greasy fried egg?? Went straight in the bin as it was inedible. What on earth has happened to a once fantastic Chinese takeaway - change of chef perhaps?? We will not order here again, what a complete waste of money. Absolutely disgusting food.

I ordered a prawn chop suey, I got a dish full of sauce, onions, green peppers and bamboo shoots and 4 small prawns... very disappointed. Surely dishes have more than 4 prawns and a dish full of sauce... def will never order from here again... my partner ordered prawn chow mein and he had loads of prawn... probably about 8 or more

Phoned at 18.30pm for a delivery to be told it would be 1hr, no problem with that, waited until 19.55pm no food so called back to then be told it would be another 30 min yeh right cheers gone past the 1hr wait so wont be ordering from you again 😡😡😡😡

Ordered food at 6.30pm, told there would be an hour wait. No problem, clearly a busy Saturday night. Called at 7.40 to ask for an update, lady on the phone responded “we’re busy what do you want us to do about it” and then proceeded to tell us it would be about another half an hour wait as they were waiting for the driver. Just called up again (it’s now 9pm) and asked for an update as no driver has appeared - told that they were waiting for the driver returning and the food would be with us “soon.” Edit: Received at around 9:15pm. Food was top notch. However, I do believe this whole situation could’ve been avoided had the takeaway staff rung up to say they were very busy and the food would be delayed, rather than leaving it up to us to chase them up after several unrealistic deadlines. Clearly the staff were frustrated by the number of customers chasing up their food, hence the reaction when we called.

Not always the quickest, but the food is always spot on.

Excellent. Best beef curry I have had in a long time. Highly recommend.

Probably the best Chinese take out I've had in the Borders. Extensive menu including great vegetarian options

Always get service with a smile. They've an excellent variety of dishes available and usually the food is top notch. Anytime we've had an issue we've just called up and a replacement has been sent out which just cements this place as the best Chinese Takeaway in Galashiels.

Our usual Chinese takeaway was closed for holidays so decided to use this instead. We ordered and due to it being a busy Friday evening were advised the food would take around 45 minutes to be delivered. The food arrived and it was piping hot with good sized portions. Have to say it was absolutely delicious - so much so we will be using this Chinese takeaway from now on instead of our usual!!! Very impressed and would most definitely recommend you try!

best chinese in galashiels. Good cuts of meat and always fresh.

Best Chinese food in the area I drive 44 mile round trip for this food

Great food , fantastic customer service

Best Chinese carry out in the Borders by a long way. Great value and we have never had a bad one and use it at least two Friday evenings every month.

Waited for 1hr 30min no sign of delivery so called up and was told it would be another 30min. 50min later another call to see where my delivery was and got the owner who wasn’t bothered and just grunted down the phone. Long standing customer now lost.

Good food, good service and great value - always a treat!

To be fair the food was good, eventually, waiting time wasn't....1hr....was a busy night, but shouldn't you be informed of this before you paid? so you have the choice whether to wait? ...also only living 5 mins away why do I have to re-heat when I get home?

Amber Chinese is a lovely place to get takeaways from, I'm usually in & out in 20 minutes The food is delicious, staff are very easy to talk to I would recommend it to anyone

Congealed gloop an hour late and duck and orange contained more pineapple than meat? Duck and orange I phoned and said I think they gave me duck and pineapple to be told it’s duck and pineapple with orange sauce! Eh no mention of that on your menu! 50% pineapple in what looked like thickened syrup! Utter garbage I wouldn’t give to a dog! seriously!

Best tasting Chinese in Galashiels

I grew up in the Borders before moving to Edinburgh and must admit I've grown a bit snobby about takeaway Chinese and am very wary of them and have low expectations. Wow this one is an exception. Best Chinese takeaway we've ever had. Very flavoursome & all the meat was lovely and tender. Look no further you've found the best Chinese takeaway probably in Scotland. Can't comment on delivery time etc as we picked up but after a ten minute drive home food was still lovely and hot. They need to get an online menu up though! However, it's Chinese. Order what you normally do and they'll say if they don't have it (they had everything we asked for).

Whenever I offer Chinese I order here. Great food, friendly service, most of the staff are always smiling! Delivery drivers are polite and friendly which is a rarity in itself sometimes. Should note that this food place does not have a sit in area. It is only takeaway. They do offer delivery, collection, or you can simply turn up and order then wait. It's generally very quick.

Good food here. Do deliver and have a good menu here.

Lovely food never had a bad one there are 5 to choose from n Galashiels but we always go here good value for money

Great selection of food on offer, friendly and quick service, delivery also available. The best in Galashiels.

Really friendly staff, convenient location, great tasting food which is really good value. There is a lot of competition in the town, however this is my favourite.

Very good service, delivery is always quick and the food is great. We have never had a bad meal from here, i'd recommend this as the best chinese food in Gala. Good value for money too.
