Sweet and sour was incredibly weak. Felt like it was diluted 50%. Salt and pepper chickens and crispy it was still a bit moist instead of crispy. Very under seasoned luckily I have my own salt and pepper mix at home so I added another tablespoon. Ribs from massively overseasoned with star anise felt like they were boiled for 3 days. Prawn toast was surprisingly delicious. Crispy and a good thick layer of meat. Rice was average at best. Won't be trying again anytime soon.

Usually really good so that's why 3 stars. but ordered for delivery after waiting an hour and no delivery we call and get a voicemail saying all the drivers are out, we call several times and get the same message. In the end we decide to drive down as it's not too far away and find out it's closed. Why allow people to place orders when it's closed.

I have never visited this place in real life however I order from hair when I am wanting a takeaway. They are always so helpful and lovely over the phone. And they always speedily deliver my food to me. I really like the chow mein here as it tastes like a very standard British Chinese chow mein, and although I love the super authentic stuff, this reminds me of memories with my family and friends. The prawn toast here is also good, and isn't too greasy compared to other places.

For our vegetarian friends, the takeaways extensive vegetarian menu offered a delightful mix of flavors. The Vegetable Stir-Fry was a colorful and vibrant assortment of fresh vegetables cooked to retain their crispness, paired with a delectable sauce.

I think it’s unfair for this restaurant to have those one star review. From my experience, food taste really nice. Fresh and hot! One of the best Chinese takeaways I’ve ate. I only believe what I ordered not those haters.

I placed an order at around 12am on 17th of May, the delivery guy calls me and tells he is outside, even though I asked for a door delivery. I go downstairs, he is not there, I wait for 5 minutes and he calls again and says he's outside Mcdonalds and wants me to walk all the way there to pick up my order. I then have to walk away from my flat in the middle of the night to meet him to get my order. He gives my one bag which is not what I ordered. I show him my receipt and exactly what I ordered and he tells me, "thats what he was given and tries to give it to me. I tell him that's not what I've ordered and I'm not taking it. First I ordered 3 different things (shouild be 3 containers and it's only one container in the bag. Secondly I'm vegetarian so I can't eat and what he's trying to give me is definitely a meat dish. (clearly he made a mistake and delivered the wrong food). I tell him I'm not prepared to take it, but he tells me the takeaway is now closed and you can't call them. I walk back to my flat and he shouts at me to take the wrong order and leaves it on the floor in the middle of the street. First time ordering from here and it will be the last! Terrible service and horrible experience.

AWFUL! Don’t bother! Address is irrelevant because they won’t knock on your door when they arrive! Then just eat will only give you 50% back on the total of the food you ordered that you didn’t get to eat

I would give zero stars if I could. The rice I got was dry and plain, completely lacked seasoning. Same thing for the noodles, they did not taste like anything and the chicken was wet, soggy and weird. Fifteen pounds wasted, will definitely not order again and I recommend no one does either.

Good: crispy beef was alright and delivery relatively quick. Prawn toast was decent. Bad: requested curry sauce to go with battered chicken balls - got given sweet and sour sauce. Chicken tasted like it had been boiled and frozen. Singapore noodles said would come with prawns etc - only got chicken and tiny amounts of beef (it was £8.80!). Sweet and sour sauce looked radioactive but even despite this, it was pretty flavourless. Hot & sour soup looked and tasted like it was watered down sweet & sour sauce. Overall, really disappointing and wouldn't recommend to anyone.

I’m so happy it is still open now! Qualify food and nice service. I’ve ordered three times and never disappointed. I like the salt and pepper dishes most, the Dim Sim taste good as well. Btw, there is a 10% off if directly order from the shop! So don’t miss the discount if you order. definitely recommend.

we ordered from here about a week ago, quite late as well .. first the lady who took our order on the phone was polite and lovely. the delivery driver was also lovely. The food, was Hot not greasy and was amazing. I’m very fussy with Chinese food and this has to be the nicest Chinese I have ever ordered. I honestly cannot wait to order from here again, probably this week. food didn’t take to long and delivered all the way to Salford. 10/10 from us, best Chinese.

Possibly the worst takeaway experience of my life. The food took 2 hours to come, half the order was missing, and their was little attempt at an apology. They even lied and told us the driver had crashed on his way from the shop. Genuinely can't think of a business that's run worse...

Spent £80 and the service we received was frankly awful.. The food was so late, and we received little apology. When it eventually came, literally half of the order was missing and we had to wait an extra 15-20 minutes to receive this food. All of this meant when it eventually arrived, the food wasn’t warm and was frankly poor quality. We’ve used this takeaway so much over the past couple of years and this would’ve been okay if the restaurant were helpful and apologetic but this is the end of us shopping at bento king, go somewhere else!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm disappointed to be leaving this review but here goes... I've been ordering from Bento king for some now - either from my just-eat account or my partners. Service has been swift and consistent. We were happy with what we got each time and the food arrived hot and on time. Bento King aren't the cheapest, but I tended not to mind at least I knew it was good quality. That was until last night. After a long weekend we decided to treat ourselves to a takeway. We both ordered the same dish. I'm sorry to say the the food tasted truly horrible. It was bland, tasteless, lacking in any redeemable qualities. It's main characteristic was that is was 'watery'. We both threw our food away - a total waste of £20. We contacted Just-Eat, who acted professionally to our messages. They contacted Bento on our behalf. Bento came back and said that the food was cooked exactly the same, via the same chef to the same standards - which to me reads ' it's your fault you thought the food was terrible'. It's not the error of the food that I take umbridge with - it's there unwillingness to deal with our compliant. If they had taken ownership of the issue it would of been fine. This is not how to deal with repeat customers. I will not be ordering takeaway from a Bento King again. A truly depressing experience.

I rarely write reviews, but I felt compelled to share my experience at The Lost Dene because I genuinely believe it has the potential to be a great establishment with just a little more focus on customer care. While it's in a fantastic location and could be a welcoming spot, my visit was unfortunately let down by poor service, which had a noticeable impact on the overall atmosphere. The issue arose when I ordered a burger meal through your app. The signage around the pub, as well as the app itself, clearly states that a drink is included with all burger meals. However, when placing my order through the app, there was no option to select a drink. I assumed this might be prompted at the end of the transaction, as certain drinks may not be included in the offer, but I expected some sort of selection process. When I realised no drink had been added, I went to the bar to clarify the situation. I spoke to a young man with short black hair and explained that the app did not provide an option to select a drink, despite the offer being clearly advertised. I asked if he could provide a Coke, as part of the meal deal. Unfortunately, he refused, stating that I should have added the drink separately on the app. This was not made clear anywhere, and given that there are usually limitations on which drinks are included in meal deals, I had expected some guidance during the ordering process. What made the situation worse was his attitude. Instead of trying to understand the confusion or offer any assistance, he dismissed my concern outright, saying, “It’s not my problem.” When I asked if he was the manager, he admitted he wasn’t but said, “You can try with the manager, but he’ll probably say no.” Thankfully, when I spoke to the manager, he resolved the issue immediately with no hesitation, which I greatly appreciate. However, the lack of customer service, empathy, and professionalism from the first staff member was incredibly disappointing. A simple misunderstanding could have been handled in a much more professional and helpful way, but instead, the interaction put a real damper on my visit. Additionally, I couldn’t help but notice another member of staff, a gentleman wearing a red checkered shirt, who appeared visibly unhappy and disengaged. He seemed frustrated and unapproachable, which made for quite an uncomfortable atmosphere. I completely understand that everyone has bad days, but in a hospitality setting, customer service is key. If there are any underlying issues affecting staff morale, it may be worth checking in with him. However, if this is simply his approach to customer service, it might be worth considering whether this role is the right fit. I wanted to bring this to your attention in the hope that staff can be trained to handle customer interactions with more understanding and professionalism. The Lost Dene has a lot of potential, but poor service like this can really discourage people from returning. I appreciate your time in reading this and hope my feedback is helpful.

I have never seen such a rude welcome from employers I took my family for a coffee and not even time to sit down, another guy with glasses comes and tells us, without any good manners, either get a drink or you can't stay here. I tell him that we had just sat down and that we would order. The app to order did not work so we ask how we could go about ordering and the reply from the employer was an annoying "Boh", I add that among other things my wife she was also breastfeeding our baby and some we had to leave.Never seen so little professionalism.The day was October 12th, I hope for you that you don't hire other such people to work.NEVER AGAIN in this place
