Century Chinese Restaurant in Eden

Lovely restaurant. The food was excellent and the service superb. We had a great family meal. Excellent value, too. We’ll be back.

What a lovely surprise. Behind a closed door up the stairs. A small but modern clean dinning room. Very polite and sweet staff. Nice menu. The food was served pipping hot promptly and very well presented. It was all delicious with generous amounts of protein We will be back

Perfect little Restaurant if you are visiting Kirkby Stephen, staff so friendly and informative with any questions about the meal, everything about the food was cooked to perfection nice and hot and a decent size portion for a reasonable price. My wife chose king prawn/chicken chow mein with side of fresh vegetables.... I went for battered beef in a plumb sauce, with egg fried rice and chips to share.. Fantastic meal ...

We had a bad experience at this restaurant, so we won't return or recommend it to others. We politely informed our waitress that one of the dishes was too salty for us to consume. With this, she became impolite, brushed us off to someone else for the bill, which never happened, and refused to serve us unless we physically went to her.

After spending over £100 on a takeaway, I asked if we would get any prawn crackers included. Very quick answer - NO. Even after trying to explain “ I have just spent over £100 in here “ still no. If I’d have known before I’d paid I would have gone elsewhere for food. Not a great experience at all. Food very average. Such a shame.

Had an excellent evening meal here whilst on an overnight stay in Kirkby Stephen. Very smart upstairs restaurant ( takeaway downstairs ). Very nice food from extensive menu, prompt service.

Food was delicious. We had 3 courses and everything was tasty, and cooked superbly. The young lady looking after the restaurant was polite and friendly, and very helpful. Will definitely go again next time we are in the area.

As a big fan of Chinese food we decided to visit Century whilst staying at a caravan park nearby. I can honestly say it was one of the best Chinese meals I have ever had. Every dish tasted sublime and the 5 of us gobbled the lot. The new member of staff was extremely helpful and added a relaxed atmosphere to the evening with us chatting to her between courses. Great place and lovely food.

Arrived here today for a weeks holiday to find the Chinese restaurant is closed until the 26th of July, was here last year and it was fantastic meal , very disappointed that there was no notice on tripadvisor as I always read before I go anywhere

What good Chinese food. Ordered a Beef Szechuan takeaway. Cheerful greeting on the phone and picking up. The food was stir fried to perfection, really enjoyed and not expensive. Come on holiday several time a year to Kirby Stephen and this is a go to Chinese.

We had dinner here on 30 December and really enjoyed our food. We shared spring rolls to start, for main I had a special chow mein which was super tasty. Service was friendly and the meal was good value.

called in for a takeaway on the off chance as had been recommended one of the best Chinese takeaways i have had excellent.

We had Chinese takeaway this weekend as we were staying for a few days in kirkby stephen. We ordered a mix of meals and nibbles for a family of 10 and everybody really enjoyed it. The soups were delicious. Everything had good quality such as the chunks of chicken and beef which were tender and tasty. Thanks, will certainly remember and use again if we are in the area x

Enjoyable Chinese food, not to over priced.We collected a takeaway and it was still hot,by the time we drove back to the cottage.

We have had yet another delicious meal at the Century Chinese. We have been coming here most weekends for 7 years now, as our holiday home is in Kirkby Stephen and this restaurant is by far the best there is locally! But when it comes to the spicy chicken wings I would go as far as saying I have travelled Europe and America and NEVER tasted chicken wings with the texture, flavour, moistness and consistency of those made by this restaurant!! Crispy duck with pancakes, Fillet steak Peking style & chicken and cashew nuts are other favourites of ours. If you are coming to Kirkby Stephen, try this place!! You will not regret it! Book in advance where possible and reserve a portion of wings because they sell out fast!

Ordered for pick up. The meals were ready on time and social distancing with the takeaway was in force. Food really tasty and well cooked.

As the restaurant was closed take away collection was available . We collected on time and it was hot and very tasty.

Stopped by here as a pit stop to Newcastle. It’s a hidden treasure of a restaurant with delicious food! Staff very welcoming and very well priced.

I have eaten in the lovely restaurant at Centuary and I can say, without a moments hesitation, that their takeaway food is as good as you get if you are 'eating in'. The menu is extensive, the prices are good, and in more than 12 years I have never experienced a bad meal, bad service or a bad attitude from the friendly staff. I highly recommend The Centuary for a good meal.

I have only done take aways, and the staff have been courteous, the food is good. location is a bit hidden however Kirkby Stephen is not very big hence it shouldn't be a problem. Certainly recommend to any one.

I watched the owner purchase a huge flat of fresh mushrooms at the local co-op that afternoon. I knew the veggie fishes were going to be fantastic. No disappointments about food quality. Soup was too expensive for portion given. But main course was enough food for two. No complimentary rice served with meal. Sad I couldn't get Green Tea, only Earl Grey. Unusual that all entree options were listed in English-language only. Moo Goo Gui Pan JUST tastes better than Chinese Vegetables and Chicken in gravy. I'd go again when back in the area.

A long journey up from Rickmansworth to Kirkby Stephen and needed a good meal and sit down to relax! Came here, it’s tucked slightly out of the way, you go through a short alley way although there is a sign in the Main Street. The lower floor is the takeaway which was busy when I arrived. You go up some stairs to get to the restaurant area. Seated immediately as it was not busy, there were two other tables occupied. Ordered my food which arrived promptly. The place had some more visitors to the restaurant but was not overly busy that night. The food was really nice, no problems there. The decor is OK, but the area is slightly cramped. Would I go back, yes, have been there before and would go again.

Amazing food, good portions and good prices. Staff very attentive and were knowledgable when asked about some dishes. Would definitely recommend.

Recently visited for a sit down meal with my better half, we both had fantastic food and drinks with brilliant service. Food was very tasty and will definitely be back!

A pesar de vivir a solo 14 millas de distancia, realizamos nuestra primera visita a este restaurante el sábado por la noche. Reservamos por recomendación de amigos e informes anteriores de Trip Advisor.El restaurante de arriba es bastante grande y cómodo, y el personal joven es entusiasta, entusiasta y educado.Cada uno de nosotros disfrutamos de entrantes (Spring Rolls y Satay Chicken), seguidos de langostinos en salsa de ostras y pato asado con anacardos, ambos acompañados de arroz frito con huevo. Delicioso y abundante!Con un par de cervezas y una botella de vino, nuestra factura fue muy razonable (menos de 64 libras).Si hay un inconveniente, es que el arroz del plato principal llegó en platos fríos, como consecuencia nuestra comida se enfrió rápidamente. Quizás sería aconsejable usar platos calientes o un calentador de platos sobre la mesa. Nuestros platos principales también llegaron demasiado rápido, justo después de haber terminado nuestros entrantes, y antes de que se hubieran recogido los platos.Sin embargo, ambos estábamos muy contentos con nuestra cena, y esperamos nuestra próxima visita.

Al pasar por Kirkby Stephen en un viaje por los valles de Yorkshire, nos topamos con esta pequeña joya. Escondido justo al lado de la Plaza del Mercado, una vez dentro te llevan a un hermoso restaurante con un personal extremadamente amable y atento. Probamos una variedad de platos, todos excelentes, pero mi favorito era el cerdo con sal y pimienta. Si estás en la zona, prueba este lugar. Es realmente muy bueno.

This is our second visit to the Century Chinese Restaurant whilst staying in nearby Artlegarth Lodges, Ravenstonedale. The food was lovely and plentiful. We would highly recommend a visit although we have never eaten in, only used it as a takeaway, as it is not dog friendly inside.

We walked past here on a recent visit & I was immediately put off by the exterior, how wrong can you be! Upstairs opens up to a small but beautifully presented Chinese restaurant, we were greeted by a lovely smiling, happy & helpful waitress who really looked after us all evening, food was fabulous I really recommend this place & we will be back soon.

We are lucky to have Century in such a small rural area. Would recommend this establishment to any one.

On the day before my second visit to this restaurant, I popped in to reserve a table and spoke to Min (manageress). I asked why beancurd doesn't feature on the menu and was told that there wasn't enough of a demand for it. It would have been perfectly reasonable to have ended the conversation there, but Min informed me that they have some Chinese vegetables that have been bought in for use in their own meals, but that she would use them in mine. What a wonderful display of their ethos; the restaurant isn't about getting as many people in and to make as much money as possible, but about ensuring that every diner is satiated and truly enjoys the experience. Wonderful!

Cheerful, friendly, small old style Chinese restaurant with good atmosphere and traditional menu. Good food and good service - it does well everything you would expect. It is reasonably priced. We would happily go again and recommend to others.

Asegúrate de reservar para comer aquí. Como número 2 en la ciudad estaban muy ocupados. No es sorprendente ya que la comida era excelente, también tenía medio litro de vino de la casa que tenía un precio razonable y era muy agradable. El personal es muy amable y un ambiente agradable.

Visité por primera vez recientemente y tenía una súper comida. El restaurante es muy agradable y la señora que nos atendió, que creo que también es la dueña, fue extremadamente amable y acogedora. La comida era deliciosa, recomiendo especialmente la sopa de cangrejo y maíz dulce. Visitamos esta región cada año y sin duda volveremos a este restaurante.

Staff great nothing to much trouble, food was lovely, with very quick service it was fairly quite before the rush but is also quick for a takeaway. This is first time my husband and I have sat down in restaurant.

We visit Century often, for takeaways and also to sit in the restaurant. The food is excellent, wonderful dishes, with lots to choose from on the menu. All of the staff are welcoming and very attentive and the restaurant is very comfortable and nicely decorated. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Gorgeous food, the banquet was exceptional! Never disappointed with the standard of food and service. The staff are all very friendly and the owners too. Thanks for a great night!

Hidden away in a little courtyard. This restaurant is cosy only seating for 32 people. Food was very good and the service was excellent. Very helpful Shauna was very helpful. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Nos encanta la comida y el servicio en The Century. Somos relativamente nuevos en el área, pero hemos descubierto rápidamente lo que es un pequeño gran restaurante (también lo hacen muy bien para llevar). Ahora hemos cenado en el acogedor restaurante del piso de arriba unas cuantas veces y nos hemos impresionado cada vez por la excelente comida y el personal increíblemente amable.

Este lugar es un crédito para sus dueños. Todo es perfecto aquí. El chico eficiente trabajando en la recepción. Las damas encantadoras esperando. El ambiente del restaurante de arriba.

we visit the Century Chinese Restaurant and have a great meal. Typical Chinese Restaurant food but well done. Good cooking and presentation and great service. Good value for money considering the quality. Recommended.

This was our first visit and it certainly won't be the last. Lovely food surroundings and staff. Spotless and comfortable what more could you ask for

We had a lovely meal in here after spending the day driving through the Yorkshire Dales. The service was great, very friendly staff and the food was excellent. It was good enough that I would genuinely think it worthy of detouring off the A1 for if I'm ever passing in the evening again.

Lovely meal, wee bit expensive for the size of the portions, and no free prawn crackers as we get at home, but worth every penny. Take away area was lovely. Next time in area, might try sit in.

We regularly use this Restaurant and Take away whenvisiting Kirkby Stephen. Its something we look forward too and having tried a fair bit on the menu I can confirm that this is a wee gem of a place,The Curries and Spring Rolls are especially delicious and the service is excellent. It is certainly well worth a visit and I would recommend it to anyone visiting the town to give it a try, you wont be disppointed.

Very reasonably priced, Singapore rice (FANTASTIC) Timings and service great. Good potions Well done.

Stayed in Kirkby Stephen called into Century Chinese for a carry out, staff were friendly, we had salt and pepper chicken, chicken fried rice, noodles, chips, rice, it was all lovely fresh food, everyone really enjoyed it, will call again for sure if in the area

We could not get in a local hotel and as we were self catering decided to get takeaway. The food was great and I had fried chicken in plum sauce which was delicious. They had a nice restaurant upstairs.

This place is brilliant. Put your order in then head next door to the pub & sink a pint. The Chicken Breast fried rice is lovely

Family visit with three generations present service food and attention to detail brilliant My grandson was given small portions of adult meals and a box to take away his left over ribs .Just a nice place to be!😀

Visited last week whilst staying in Kirkby Stephen. Very clean pleasant licenced restaurant with a takeaway service . The food was very good, served very hot & well presented by a lovely pleasant waitress. The prawn toast was very good not dry with chewy overcooked prawns like many places serve. The salt & pepper chicken & the beef in black bean sauce very tender & so tasty. We visited early evening so booking not necessary but it is a small restaurant & I would say book if wanting to dine after 7pm. Would definitely recommend.

Fabulous food, friendly welcoming staff and a must while in KS. Century never fails to meet our expectations and when arriving in Kirkby Stephen , Century's delicious Chinese food is the first thing on our minds. Never fails to meet our expectations. Don't miss it!

Had a meal for the family last week ,the food was good but the carry out's seemed to get priority on speed,bad mistake if you want to get people to come back

We decided to try a take-a-way from the restaurant and chose a standard meal for two, cost seemed a bit on the high side as we appeared to receive no discount from at the same meal in the sit down restaurant on the first floor. I phoned the order and collected it on time after 40 minutes. There were plenty of prawn crackers. Two good helpings of rice and spare ribs. The chicken and sweetcorn soup was hot and tasty. The two mains were disappointing, not much beef or flavour in the beef with black beans and the sweet & sour chicken was also not very flavoursome with the chicken coated in a peculiar batter.

We ordered a takeaway for collection whilst visiting the area. The food was ready quickly and was really fresh - one of the best we've had.

The meal was ready on the agreed time for collection. The portions were generous and it certainly is at the top end of Chinese Take-Aways.

Booked for my daughters 11th birthday and can’t knock the food, but an hour before the starters came out was too long, then we had to put up with a group of four that were a little worse for wear who were very loud, to the point where the girls felt very uncomfortable. We should of said something to the staff there but I don’t think anything would of been said, won’t be going back, spent a lot of money for a spoilt birthday treat for our little girl.

Had a meal a couple of nights ago with friends. Yummy food, waitress really looked after us. Restaurant is upstairs with good wide access. Takeaway downstairs which looked well used as well. Will definitely go there again

Such yummy food and nice staff! We have come from manchester and this was our first meal- yummy yummy!

We’ve eaten here a few times recently and it’s always been excellent. The set meals are really good value &...

On the Coast-to-coast walk this is the first Chinese for over a week, and a very good one too. The...

Back to the Century Chinese restaurant and it's really delicious food. We dream about the food when we are away....

Stayed in Kirkby Stephen for one night and my wife and we decided to eat at Century after a recommendation from a friend. We are so glad we did! We had the mixed starters for two, duck in orange sauce, crispy kon su king prawns, egg fried rice and a boiled rice. The mixed starters were lovely but not the best (No crispy seaweed). The main courses were delicious and plentiful. Probably the best main course we have had at a Chinese restaurant. Special mention to the young women who served us. She was extremely polite, sociable and helpful when deciding on our dishes. We would definitely return to this restaurant again. Excellent.

The outside of the restaurant does not look too promising, on entering you are told to go straight upstairs. We went on a Tuesday evening and it was very quiet and not much atmosphere. I’m sure it's buzzing at the weekends.

From the outside this looks just like a standard Chinese takeaway, down a small side road in a small provincial town. There is no restaurant there. But enter the premises and go upstairs and there is a superior restaurant - good décor and helpful very friendly staff. A really pleasant discovery.

We hebben hier lekker gegeten! De gerechten zijn smaakvol en mooie, niet te overdreven porties. De bediening is vriendelijk en behulpzaam. De "fritters" van de dessertkaart zijn heerlijk!

I had a takeaway from here while doing the coast to coast walk that we took back to the hotel up the road. All of the dishes were very tasty. Very good.

Amazingly our 3rd visit, 1st time 21 years ago, 2nd 11 years ago and 30th July, each time as good as the last, top quality food, very clean in every way, friendly staff , especially Beth, she is a joy, just give it a go, you will not be disappointed.

Delicious meal beautifully presented. The staff were really pleasant, friendly and helpfulWould recommendOnly downside is the Restaurant is upstairs so if you have mobility issues it could be a problem

Found this place via Trip Advisor a couple of months ago. We have had 5 Sit In meals which have all been very good. Food excellent as was the waiting girls. Well done.Will visit again.

Of the many venues and choices of foods available locally this is by far the 'jewell in the crown' of Kirkby Stephen. Excellent service and great menu choices with all meals our group had cooked to perfection. The exterior and access is uninspiring but once inside the decor is modern and fresh with excellent attentive staff always happy to assist. Well done.

Decided to go here as we had been told it was very good, very clean not very big so probably would book a table, the waitresses had great customer service very efficient and friendly. The food was very good, could not fault any of it. I would recommend everyone to try. They also do takeaway. We will definitely be going back very soon. Oh and the prices are reasonable.

Best Chinese ever!! Food is amazing and the staff are so helpful if you have any problems!! My new favourite place!!

Had a meal here last week.it either here or the indian.so glad i came here.soup was very tasty, main meal was amazing. .also the waitress was very good indeed.highly recommended.

Enjpyed the food, we have had take away from here. Food was good and portions size were enough for family. Should try soecial Chow-mean, Will revisit again

First visit to the Century for us two. Warm welcome downstairs then we were seated upstairs in the restaurant. The two girls up there were lovely and helpful and all the food was super. A great Friday treat for us. We will return soon. Brill.

Every time we come to Kirkby Stephen, the fabulous Century is always our first meal - and every night we are there. We never seem to get tired of their delicious Chinese food. We are vegetarians, but allow ourselves seafood when travelling. We have had every king prawn dish on the menu and everything is always wonderful. We always use the takeout option which is prepared quickly and they never miss a thing. I am always so impressed that every time we come and order, everyone always remembers " no onions" for me. The staff is as wonderful as the food. The owner, Min, is one of the nicest people you could ever meet. Our hosts at the place we stay in KS, always come here to the upstairs restaurant for special occasions and praise it. I always have said, when travelling, go where the locals go. If you like Chinese food, you will love this place!

Went here while staying at pennine view caravan site. Food was excellent and of a high standard, very tasty and well presented. Would definitely recommend this place.

I've eaten Chinese food in various other areas and cities in the UK varying from Bowness to Birmingham to Exeter and feel as though I have been ruined as nothing has been a patch on this place! I always look forward coming back to Mums, not just so I catch up family but also just so I can have a Century... LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!!!!!

This really is the best Chinese we have ever eaten!! We stayed locally on 17/03/17 and we decided to try the Chinese. It was a lovely little restaurant, the waitress was very lovely. But the food!! Oh my!! It was just pure delicious!! It truly was amazing! I've never been so enthusiastic about a Chinese meal but this was just in a different league! If you are in the area the Chinese restaurant is a must for a wonderful meal.

Visiting for the weekend and based on reviews on trip advisor decided to try out. Worst Chinese food I have tasted. All food very very salty, chicken fried rice coated in soy sauce, sweet and sour bland. If people think this is good, they seriously haven't tried a decent Chinese.

We have eaten here every time we come to Kirkby Stephen and it is always delicious. The staff is so friendly and the service is excellent. We have eaten EVERYTHING that says " giant prawns" on the menu. All of the entrees are delicious! Huge prawns and never that fishy taste. Being lifelong vegetarians, we make an exception when travelling and eat seafood occasionally. " Going off the wagon" at the Century is well worth it Since their prawn dishes are so excellent, we can only imagine that everything they offer is of the same high caliber. A great place to eat when visiting KS!

Was long overdue for a Chinese and this one did not disappoint. Don't normally eat starters etc. but couldn't resist. I had the Beef Chow Mein which was lovely but the Sweet & Sour looked good too!

whether its sitting in or takeaway the food is of a high standard. The soup is lovely and noodles are fantastic. They are always friendly and service is generally quick.

It is true you don't get a second chance to make a first impression. The staff were great but the food nearly finished us off with the salt content. We opened up all our meals and they looked really good but after a few tasters it was like eating fork fulls of salt the whole lot went in the bin. Cut down on the salt content chef it is not good for your customers they can't taste the food that may have been really good.

A two night stop over in Kirkby Stephen led us to trying the local Chinese restaurant for an alternative to the local pub for a change. We entered with not much expectation.WOW what a surprise!The restaurant is tastefully decorated and spotlessly clean! The waitress was very welcoming and her service was excellent. I watched her clean tables after people left - and she even cleaned the chairs on all tables. We had the Hot Sour Soup, Aromatic Duck and the Sliced Duck Chinese Style.We thoroughly enjoyed all three dishes and may go back tomorrow night!Thanks guys for a lovely meal!

Nice surroundings, busy for a Sunday evening, but they were coping well. Food was excellent and good value. The service was friendly, professional and efficient. Will be back again on our next visit to Kirkby Stephen.

Whilst walking Lady Anne Clifford's Way and eating mainly pub grub,we made the most of the opportunity to eat alternative cuisine.Instead of the highly recommended Indian restaurant we tried Kirkby's Chinese and were so glad we had.Downstairs is a standard-looking busy takeaway but upstairs is a splendid sit-in restaurant with bright décor and comfortable seating.Service cheerful and efficient,all of our food choices delicious.Be aware that at present there is no menu on line,the one that appears on another website is not correct.

For a tiny village Chinese Restaurant was really taken with this one from food quality, ambience and service, first class. Great value for money too.Couldn't have been more warmly welcomed, order taken and arrived quickly. Really hot, plates were hot, food hot, service hot. 10/10 for me, I know as I said it's only a Chinese restaurant but I'd call again, in fact I'd drive out of my way to get there.Well done.

Had a delicious evening meal here last night. All the usual sort of Chinese restaurant menu. We had egg fried rice, beef in black bean sauce and water chestnuts. We're given complementary crackers at the table. Very helpful friendly staff. Would recommend for a filling dinner at a good price.

Long day on the river Eden not catching many trout so we needed good food to cheer us up. The Century exceeded my expectations by miles. Food was great (the king prawn dish was absolutely fabulous) and the Service appropriately attentive without ever being too much. Abi (our waitress) was brilliant - she'll be a loss when she goes to uni. After the meal, the chef came and chatted; this was great - we were able to thank her personally and she agreed that when we catch a trout big enough for both of us to eat (that's me and my mate) she'd be happy to cook it for us. She advised us on ways to cook it ourselves and generally chatted about recipes and life generally. I will be back (be warned).

Had dinner at this restaurant after a day on the C2C walk. Were shown upstairs to a large dining area. Service was excellent and not over attentive. Drinks served promptly and main course was really delicious. Would definitely go back again if in town.

We called in here whilst visiting around the area. The staff was friendly and welcoming, The food was ok a lot like the take away food we usually get. The prices was reasonable, very clean. Worth a visit or you cold use the take away i'm sure it will be the same food.

was sick of having fish and chips so decided to get a chinese takeaway.The service was good. A young lad served us and was very polite and took our order. He was very courteous. Service was quick. Food was lovely. The only downside was where we live the rice is included in the price but here we had forgotten to order rice with our main dishes so popped into co op to get a packet of rice as ordering rice from the chinese may have been a little big longer.

We went on a Thursday evening with our two children. The restaurant was very quiet - only one other table. However, there was a nice atmosphere. Our waitress was great, really helpful and attentive and the food really nice. Will come again when next in the area.

We were staying at the nearby Augill Castle and looking for Chinese food and TripAdvisor led us to Century Chinese in the town centre. The location of the restaurant is central and there is adequate parking nearby in the centre. The restaurant ambience is traditional and well furnished, with the overall place being comfortable and clean. Staff were very welcoming and friendly as they guided us to the table in the dining area upstairs. We ordered Chinese tea which came in two miniature teapots (very cute) and were also given a bowl of complimentary prawn crackers.The menus were quite standard in terms of sheer number of variations and items, as well as offering some set menus. We ordered the Kon Sui crispy sizzling chicken, crispy salt & pepper pork, and Cantonese style chicken chow mein (crispy chicken noodles). All three dishes were great - hot, fresh, plenty of ingredients particularly in the noodles, and ultimately, delicious. We also asked for some chilli oil and freshly cut chillis - these included great punch (quite unexpected as usually these aren't that hot) and the sichuan chilli oil was delicious too.The staff were very attentive and helpful, and my wife and I really enjoyed our experience here. We were glad to meet the Chinese owner and her lovely staff who even gave us tips on where to go for breakfast in the morning and finding our way around the area. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for Chinese food and staying in the Kirkby Stephen area. Prices were also very reasonable ranging from £6-£10 for most dishes. Our aforementioned meal with three dishes, a bowl of rice and tea was under £30.I also would note that there were quite a lot of people coming in (families, tourists, etc) and I think this venue actually suits all occasions whether it's a romantic dinner, a family, or a large group. Pity they don't open for breakfast or lunch (i.e. only dinner) as we'd be here first thing tomorrow!

A wonderful change from a week of pub fare ! The food was amazing , generous servings , great value , and our waitress was charming

Used the takeaway several times. Excellent service with the telephonist easy to understand. Once you have used the takeaway, when you phone up, they know who you are! The food is good with chunky vegetables and tasty sauces. Usually give you free prawn crackers if you order several portions. You can get the menu online. Typically around £5 per dish. Chow mein uses a thick noodle and is delicious, so is the beef curry and chicken fried rice. They will also do a dish that is not on the menu such as my wife's favourite - chicken with beansprouts.

3rd time we during walks over the years we have visited this restaurant. Each time lovely food. Waitress really friendly and helpful. Wouldn't hesitate to visit again if through Kirkby Stephen again.

Myself and my partner love the century Chinese- especially when when we sit in. The atmosphere is lovely and the food and drink is very reasonably priced. In particular we like the deep fried satay chicken and the duck in plum sauce. The service is also excellent. We try to visit as often as possible :)

Came in on the 4th June. Starters ok nothing brilliant. Main course didn't taste of right much both sauces the sweet and sour and the ko pung tasted the same the fried rice was a small bowl full with chopped spring onion on top in the middle of a big plate. Plus side good staff loverly waitress and the chef lady we met were spot on. Shame about the food.
