Don't waste your time. I ordered chicken fried rice, and the chicken looked pale and was tasteless. The special fried rice was bland and had nothing going for it. The chicken chow mein was bland and had little color, again with no flavor. The salt and pepper prawns needed the salt and pepper to be added. We are from out of town and didn't have time to complain, so we just added this place to our never-again list. The only saving grace was that the chow mein was hot, as I was starving, I ate it. It was a choice between that and ice; we had no ice. Also, the portions are smaller than most places I've eaten from. An expensive £29.00 lesson for four meals.

I've been here once before and had a good meal (about a fortnight ago). This time, I ordered duck with green pepper and black bean sauce. It tasted very good and authentic. However, of the pieces of 'duck', the majority of them were just skin (see photo). I release that the Chinese tend to regard poultry "meat' as including the skin, but her pin the uk we do not. I was very disappointed to have so few pieces of actual duck meat in what was otherwise a delicious dish.

Quite possibly the worse Chinese I have ever eaten, and I’ve tried nearly every Chinese in Colchester this is the worse one so far, the food was horrible, the beef in black bean sauce wasn’t even edible the beef was so tough couldn’t even chew through it, the chicken balls had an appalling smell and taste! Even our dog wouldn’t eat them! The chicken Choi mein was bland had no flavour at all, the best things were the prawn crackers but that was about it, the worse £50 I’ve ever spent, will be trying to get my money back but I highly doubt that I will,

Slightly confusing. Ordered without Veg but food came with it anyway. Not a massive problem but annoying. Called to to try and sort over the phone. Lady said I didn't ask for "no veg". I have had the same no veg dish for many years. Maybe she didn't hear me. Would have been nice to have been offered a replacement. Also, has minimum card payment which is slightly annoying. Maybe, I should just eat vegetables!

Ordered a takeaway to be delivered and when it arrived one of the dishes was wrong. We called them and to rectify the issue they decided to deliver the correct dish we'd ordered while we were at the end of our meal and insisted that we gave the other one back which we had half eaten!! Appalling customer service. We have been very loyal customers over the last 15 years but will be looking elsewhere in future.

I used to love this takeaway but the last 3 times of ordering from the Beijing the food was very bland so when I ordered tonight's order I made sure of asking for my kung po beef to be extra spicy/Hot because of issues I experienced before. So when I picked it up the young lady even mentioned that the kung po beef was going to be extra hot So was looking forward to my meal and guess what my kung po beef was the blandist it's ever been even disappointed as this has always been my go to as its at the end of my road.

I also commend the staff at Beijing for always giving me a very warm welcome anytime i step in the door. I had the pleasure to meet the owner and i must say what a friendly lady. The whole experience at Beijing is 10/10. A must go place if you’re in Essex! My favourite takeaway

similar to others - used to be the best in the area but now quality gone down. in a chicken dish where you used to get lots of high quality chicken now it’s a couple bits of chicken and a lot of bits of deep fried gristle. also the black guy has delivered to my house from here a few times and is extremely rude, snapping and shouting.

Always have a reasonable takeaway from the Beijing. It can be pretty busy at times, and often your better off going down there to pick up. We had duck and some Chinese pork which was very nice, but also had a Chinese curry and a satay chicken that was a little liquidy, albeit still nice. Have had rice at other Chinese takeaways that are better... Have used the Chinese on / off for a number of years so not our favourite, but certainly wouldn't purposely avoid it.

Have always used Beijing and over the years the food has been great however when you pay for food to be delivered and the driver comes to your door smoking a joint with your food next to it you have to question why they allow their employed drivers to do this and effectively spoil the food. I called immediately and spoke with a Chinese lady who told me the driver was Andy and that they can’t control what the drivers do and that they had discussed this in the past with drivers and that she would pass on my concerns to her manager and put the phone down. They seriously need to handle their complaints better and take action as food should not be spoiled by smoke and contravenes health and safety.

Our first takeaway from here for years and it will certainly be our last! The food was dreadful. Pancake rolls were literally flat and had no filling in them. Chicken with cashew nuts, had about 6 bits of nuts in, huge uncooked slices of onion, sauce was bright orange and tasteless and the chicken was very hard and dry as if it had been cooked previously and reheated. The prawn in satay sauce had no flavour of satay whatsoever, just tasted like curry sauce and once again, huge uncooked slices of onion in it. Very disappointed as years ago, this was a good place for food. Not anymore!

Have to say this was really, really bad. So bad I had to throw it away. I had Chicken Chow Mein and Chicken Curry. Both items had cooked chicken cut up and thrown in the silver container (the chicken never saw the inside of a wok, not good practice) and then the noodles dumped on top and as for the curry the same thing, just curry sauce and cooked chicken thrown in After ordering at 5pm (as they opened) we had to wait 1 hour for delivery The food was luke warm at very best. I could have gone to a supermarket and ordered better I will never go there again....dreadful
