Cantonese Open Kitchen in South Ribble

Order a delivery most Saturdays always for 6-30pm. Always on time and the food consistently good.

The new owners of this shop have killed one of the best Chineses in the UK. I used to travel here from higher Penwortham regularly which is massively out of the way for a Chinese and sometimes wait for a hour for the food to be ready as it really was worth the wait, however around 3 years ago I had a really bad experience and the food got thrown in the bin. I suspected the chef was either off work or something had happened but regardless it put me off going back until today. Today I took the risk in the hope that everything was back to normal but I wish I read the reviews previous to ordering. What a massive let down! Probably the worst Chinese food I have eaten. This shop used to have a que of people overflowing onto the street every night and you would have to sit trying the phone for 10 minutes before you could get through. I called and got straight through and my food was ready in 10 minutes and arrival I was the only person in the shop, that sounds great but there is a reason behind it and that’s because the food is now awful.

Avoid at all costs, you just don't know what you are eating! Family dinner with a large meal, certainly not cheap food. Daughter bit into some PRAWN toast right into a large CHICKEN bone! Made contact with takeaway, they got back to me and confirmed happily that they mix chicken with the prawn even though they don't advertise as such. Made them aware that some people eat fish and not meat, this mis labelling is wrong. I am one of those people, I felt ill. At least they refunded me the £7.60 cost of the toast after I declined other food 🙄. I have used other restaurants and takeaways who declare when the toast is mixed with chicken or pork. It isn't difficult, and is honest! Why can't places just serve decent food that is what it says it is anymore. Another food establishment I will not return to.

I have lived in lostock Hall for 50 years and iv never had a Chinese from here because you don't deliver but omg it was amazing and great quality and great prices I would definitely be back but please consider delivery you are doing a great job xxxx

There are two Chinese restaurants in Penwortham: Marvel and Chop Suey. I have tried both and can rate them just on their Crispy Chilli Beef. Chop Suey wins. The Marvel crispy chilli beef was 95% fishy tasting batter with so little beef I could be persuaded that there wasn’t any there in the first place. Chop Suey did a much better job, the right amount of beef and great garlic and chilli sauce. I like also that the portion size was completely un-American and so I finished it and didn’t feel bloated. Only improvement I would suggest is to somehow get the crispy chilli beef to be crispier. I’m sure I’ve had it crispier other places so it’s possible but idk how. Still very good.
