Chilli Chinese Takeaway in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

I’m down on holiday and seen the menu for chilli’s in the chalet and fancied Chinese so I ordered over the phone. The girl was polite and understood my order without issues. I came to collect and the manager was very polite, clearly showed me how much it was in total, she was training a new girl and she did a very good job too. The food was ready to collect in 10 minutes and was very hot. Very tasty and the food portions are perfectly acceptable. I wish I had this service at my local Chinese. Will definitely be coming back next year.

September 2024 Lovely food. Good portions. Lovely service at ordering point. Person is very helpful and chatty. Average price. Cash only for delivery but they do accept card payments if you order and collect.

Whilst on holiday in Cornwall I went with the highest rated Chinese and came here. And honestly it was one of the best Chinese I've ever had. 15 mins and it was done. Everything was cooked great! Chips could of been better but everything else was perfect. My partner is very picky when it comes to a Chinese especially Chow Mein and she really enjoyed it. Definitely worth coming here for sure.

Not great very chewy beef, cold rice, frozen chips tasteless bbq sauce

Clean inside, plenty of parking spaces outside, ordered over the phone and was ready within 15 minutes, friendly well mannered staff, my wife ordered chow mein and aromatic crispy duck, the food was hot, not greasy and all tasted fresh. The best takeaway Chinese food my wife has tasted on our holidays. 5 Stars

I recently ordered a takeaway from here and it was so nice I had to share it! I was on a holiday and staying 5mins away from Hayle in Canons Town. It can sometimes be a gamble ordering a takeaway from somewhere you don't know. I saw the reviews gave it a 4.5 and I was not disappointed in the slightest. I picked to order here over any others I'm my area due to this 4.5. I thought they had a tough act to follow with my local Chinese at home, but this was so much better. For me.....5*'s all the way! The food was cooked really well, high quality ingredients and was not greasy or over salty which I find sometimes with Chinese. I collected it from the restaurant and it was easy to find and easy to park in the evening to collect. If you too are maybe not local and visiting the area...go ahead and order you shall not be disappointed. Great food, friendly staff and something I would recommend and revisit when next in the area!

Tried this takeaway for the first time. Wow!! Excellent food, freshly cooked. We will be using them from now on. Couldn't fault it.

Ordered to take away. Food was prepared and ready VERY quickly and the food was amazing, better than our usual place at home which is great, but this food was amazing and we had a great service. Thank you. Read some reviews about expense and poor food but prices weren't too dissimilar to home nor was the food bad in any way.

THE best Chinese in hayle! Love this place amd have been using for a long time. Great food and good service, if I had to give any negative it would be the wait when calling to order however I guess that's expected when everyone is calling! Thanks guys.

Food was absolutely fine that was not the issue. I rarely come across this issue but when the young male cash attendant clearly broke contacless payment protocol by quickly placing his finger over my card and pulled my card against the screen to actually touch! totally unnecessary/rude and un-hygenic I thought you cheeky 'xxx' When I tapped my card for contacless payment in a split second he pressed his index finger on my payment card whilst he held the handset with one hand (the attendant is not allowed under any circumstances to hold/touch the customers payment card) my card is MY PROPERTY and was 1cm away from the reader panel screen to detect my card which was sufficient distance for payment to go through. I believe the attendant needs to be shown the correct way of processing payments along with the do's and dont's!

Every one agreed this was one of the nicest takeaway meals we have had for a long time. It was about 20% more money than the best at home ( we are on holiday), bit it was worth it Highly recommend

Food was alright. Not spicy enough. Wouldn't go there again.

Great little takeaway! Friendly staff, good delivery times and very generous portion sizes. had a delicious meal and can highly recommend!

Service was lovely, great staff and the food was prepared super quick we were happy about the service. The food on the other hand was terrible. Cheap ham was used and put in all the meals, the pancake roll had an unusual oily smell like it was fried in very old oil. Chicken curry had great spice levels but the chicken tasted like it was fake. Crispy beef was incredibly hard my stepdad couldn't even actually bite into it without worrying it would damage his teeth and the veg especially the onions used in it was actually raw. Shop is expensive, not surprised it's a tourist spot but for the price this is disappointing.

Found this place last minute while on a trip with some friends. Food was flavourful and the portions were large, ready in a few minutes. Great value for money would definitely come back.

Chilli by name, Chilli by nature 🌶️ I asked for a ridiculously hot mushroom curry and that’s exactly what I got! Climbing the stairs to the pick up desk I started to cough from the distinct aroma of hot chilli. Indeed my curry was the agitator. A cacophony of warnings arose from the reception staff and the chef. Giddy with excitement, I raced home and tucked in. I’ve got to say this is the not only the hottest Chinese curry I have ever had, it’s also the tastiest. If you appreciate HEAT then don’t think twice about ordering from Chilli. 10/10

Thank you Chilli Chinese Takaway. Freshly cooked - very tasty and a lovely welcome. So good you qualified for two of my keyrings. Next time I order I will give you more keyrings for the staff in the kitchen. Very impressive - highly recommended.

First visit as we're on holiday. The meat curry is fantastic. The wife had sweat and sour. Both lovely meals. We will be back.

Chopped up spam in the special fried rice. I rest my case

Been using this takeaway for about the last 7 years and never had a bad one. Delivery was faultless when I lived in the same town and now that I live further away, I use the collection option which is reasonably quick (similar to other takeaways in the area). Phone it through when leaving work and pick it up on the way home, no fuss. Order is always correct as well - never anything missing. Most popular Chinese takeaway in town for a reason! Prices have increased in recent years but not to astronomical levels, it still represents good value for money. There is something for everyone on this menu, maybe not as many choices as other Chinese menus I’ve seen locally, but the food they can do, they do REALLY well. Occasionally we’ve asked for something to be customised a little and it has been perfect. Thanks for another great dinner tonight 👍 My most highly recommended, frequently ordered items - Char Sui chow mein, chicken curry, beef fried rice, salt and chilli ribs, mini spring rolls, Young Chow rice, fried shredded chilli chicken, mushrooms, sesame prawn toast, any meat with the black bean and green pepper.

On holiday in Cornwall, Have to say its the most expensive beef curry fried rice and chips I've ever bought. I always look at the reviews when I'm away, my local Chinese is less than a tenner this was over £14, the portions were small, the Beef was just OK my biggest gripe was the small portion of what was supposed to be chips, They had been cooked multiple times making them hard not only that at least a 1/4 of them were chip ends

Lovely food, hot and tasty, pleasant and friendly service, I picked this up and not delivered . Will def be back

Amazing food , great service and quick too. 10/10 !

Little disappointed this time around, not up to previous standards. Curry sauce was watery, sweet and sour sauce was bland but bang bang chicken was lovely.

Ordered shrimp fried rice.when we got back it was prawn fried rice no taste bland that's why I ordered shrimp it's far tastier!. Ordered BBQ spare ribs was mostly hosin sauce no BBQ sauce. Ordered prawn toast was deep fried and dark brown burnt 😞😞😞 bad experience for us as we are not locals ,we were down on holiday several by times a year , will try elsewhere as did not get what we as it ed for .

Best chinese meal we have ever eaten! So glad we found this place. We will be back next year when we are back here on holiday!

Great take away.. friendly staff and tasty food..

Delicious Chinese, reasonable prices, quick service. We always visit this Chinese when we are away in this area and it never disappoints. We all had different dishes and everyone agreed it was one of the best Chinese Takeaway we’ve had!

Ordered a delivery while on holiday in lelant. Very friendly and very helpful on the delivery process

Amazing food every time best in Cornwall but this time we had half what we ordered and half what we didn't But hey everything was lovely and great delivery service and so quick Cheers everyone xxx

Came to collect a takeaway as staying at a nearby caravan. Food was absolutely delicious. It was a very busy Saturday night but it was still quick and either way worth the wait. I’m not local but would definitely recommend. Chicken balls were delicious and not too greasy and no gristle. Duck pancakes were brilliant too. sweet and sour sauce was just right, not too watery or vinegary. Very happy

Found it odd, never saw any pork dishes. Food went down well. It was busy early evening.

Best Chinese food great service always freshly made, delicious, great customer service never go anywhere else

Good quality food at fair prices. Great portion sizes for the money.

Bank Holiday Monday and hard to find anyone open however this gem was and had a great meal. We had chow Mein, Sweet and Sour, Satay and chicken in black bean sauce. I chose to collect and ready in 15 mins even though busy

The best Chinese takeaway in hayle

Called in to get a takeaway one evening after a day on the beach in the back of these reviews. Really nice food - got Singapore noodles, crispy beef in sweet chilli sauce and two lots of different fried rice for kids. Big portions. Would recommend.

We used this on the recommendation of our campsite. We ordered a set meal for 3, which was more than enough to feed 4. The selection in this meal was good. The only negative was the sweet & sour pork balls were a bit dry & chewy. If I went again I’d swap these to chicken. Apart from that, good value

Not at all authentic Chinese cooking..used strips of luncheon meat for pork and not much of any other meat in chow mein. Not good flavour or value for money. Very disappointed.

Delicious - so…….. good, we had sweet & sour chicken Hong Kong style, beef, green pepper & black bean sauce. Egg fried rices 2. We shared, it was really good. Would highly recommend. We chose this place as reviews were good, can’t believe it was open on a Monday night!

Very tasty, good value for money.

Ordered from here yesterday on a Saturday evening at 6:33. Was told delivery would be 1hr 15 minutes. Food never arrived untill 9pm. They never called to let us know they was running this far behind, we had children to feed. Communication doesn’t exist, no compassion. Called up to speak with manager to find out why the order was taking so long, asked for prawn crackers to be thrown in out off respect for how long my order took, he said NO. My order came to £40. No discount no nothing, he said, send the food back when it’s delivered!! Spend your money elsewhere. Somewhere that knows time keeping and speaks and treats customers with respect, after all, it’s us paying their wages. Food was 7/10.

The best Chinese I have had in years. Ingredients so fresh, not greasy , tasted beautiful. We will definitely return.

We are on holiday in hayle and came across this little Gem of a Chinese. What an amazing find.. we’ve been twice already this holiday and would be a regular if we didn’t live up the north of England. The food tastied freshly cooked and hot, was one of the best Chinese takeaways we’ve ever had.well done & compliments to the chef

We decided to give this a go while on holiday. It was one of the best Chinese we've had. Good size portions and made superfast. The food was fresh and the people were lovely. Also thank fully someone else had put where the entrance was above the shops so we had no difficulty. A definite must when in Hayle in Cornwall.

First time back here after 5 years. Got to say they are now the best Chinese in Hayle. Great service even on a busy Friday night. Lovely staff. The food tasted good and was cooked well.

Good portions, cooked well and fast service. Difficult to find as above the parade of shops and entrance up stairs

The food was exceptional, very tasty and we travelled 5 mile and the food was red hot 👍🏻👍🏻

Great food not bad price well worth trying

Excellent Chinese meals and would recommend to anyone. Really worth every penny.

He ordered our takeaway over the phone. A ten minute drive to collect it. It was ready right away. It was hot, tasty and everyone enjoyed it greatly. There were nine of us. No complaints from us ............

Super food and friendly service, so good we had it twice in a week while on holiday.

Went in ordered a takeaway all done in under 10 mins.very quick service and friendly staff. Food amazing.

Best Chinese takeaway ever. I ordered delivery and not long after putting the order in the food turned up piping hot and everything was cooked fresh. Delivery driver seemed a really friendly chap. Highlight of the food for me was the salt and pepper chicken, could eat that everyday.

Best takeaway for miles..in fact best Chinese full stop.

This little gem is by far the best Chinese we have ever had. This isn't just a one off meal either... We've had lots of meals from Chilli Chinese and never had a bad one. I'd recommend the Singapore Chowmein all day long, thnak my later! Huge portions and on the rare occasions I actually come in to pick up I've seen most things being cooked from scratch with fresh ingredients, no sauce packets or microwaves in that kitchen. Also if you are within their delivery service then absolutely use that. Very cheap and delivered hot by a friendly driver everytime. Sometimes we wait an hour or so for it (as its very popular) but for the extra delivery charge (£2!) it's not worth starting your car! Ring up, sit back and wait for heaven to come to you! 😂 😋

Excellent food. Excellent service. However, I have also found plum =pineapple.

Absolutely revolting food. Stale yellow prawn crackers, chips were hard and flying off my plate when trying to dig my fork in and over fried, the chicken balls were 90% batter, 10% chicken, satay sauce was like water. Rice was ok. Really shocking and horrendous. Should learn to cook. Appalling. To top this we were over charged. AVOID, AVOID, AVOID.

Excellent Chinese takeaway. Best in the area by far

Had a chicken curry absolutely disgusting.tasted of anise,curry sauce like water,chicken balls were tough as old boots,what a waste of money.up to this point it's been fairly good.but after that last meal will not be ordering again🙁🙁🙁🙁

My favourite of the local Chinese takeaways locally. The prices are competitive and the food has always been very good and never had a mix-up with any order. They do the BEST Spring rolls too! Staff are always friendly and chatty, even in high season. If there is a delay, there are several comfortable padded bench seats to sit on while you wait. Delivery is possible too for a small charge, although it's so close I've always collected the order myself. Menu pics show March '23 prices

Found multiple small hidden pieces of chicken in my VEGETARIAN curry. Whilst I understand cross contamination is a risk they have clearly been cooked together for me to find 10 pieces of chicken in my food (this is without what I have probably eaten). I have been veggie for upwards of 7 years and feel sick to stomach. This could make me (and my family) sick. They offered to refund just the curry but it is not acceptable. I have thrown away the whole order due to the risk of cross contamination, which they clearly do not take seriously. Let’s hope we don’t get sick! Waste of £30.

Really great Chinese food which is well priced. The service is always prompt and friendly

Can't comment on the food yet as been waiting 1½ for the delivery 🙄 !!!!!

Wow..worth finding this little gem. We had a meal for one and it fed two of us. The meal was well worth the £££ ..if your looking for a tasty filling reasonable priced meal...this is the place to go.

Honestly some great food… always perfectly priced for the great quality of food… definitely the best Chinese in hayle and will be going back again

Food is excellent my husband said it was the best chinese he had and won't go anywhere else Service is very quick and good sized portions

I ordered the chilli crispy chicken and was up in the middle of the night puking my guts up. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone.

Highly recommend this place Great food. Friendly service. Polite delivery people. Always give them a tip

I had a Curry it was too hot too Peppery I ask for A mild I'm not going there again

Good takeaway, friendly staff, food was nice, not greasy

Alot of the food was really good but a couple of times now weve gotten Ill twice on the chicken curry and twice on the chicken balls where they havent been cooked enough

We are on holiday in Hayle for a week, and all day we fancied a Chinese, so up and down the high st we went . One was shut, one had on one in ,and found chilli takeaway. Absolutely amazing good food great price.we kept...

After reading reviews on here about the Chinese takeaway options in Hayle while we were on holiday we decided to give Chilli a try - we were by no means disappointed! Plenty of food and we were both full when we’d finished! Very quick service...

Fantastic Chineese best Iv had in a long time , also catered for gluten free . Great meal will defo order again when we visit

Fab Chinese best takeaway I've had for some time

I thought I'd give this place a go after I read the reviews. I'm sorry but I can't rate it more than 1 star. The chips are frozen chips, not cooked very well and still hard in the middle. I ordered chicken in plum sauce and got back to discover chicken and pineapple. Whilst there waiting, the female in the back came out and started having a go at the 2 in the front, I thought that was very unprofessional. I'm afraid I won't be returning.

Best Chinese I've had by far. Im a real critic when it comes to takeaways and restaurants. I really could not find anything to complain about. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Spot on experience 😊

Had a delivery whilst staying at the godrevy campsite, food totally delicious and delivered to the campsite reception, a real treat thankyou chilli

This is our go to Chinese whenever we stay in Hayle absolutely beautiful food friendly staff & speedy delivery always - Rob & Caroline

I had the Roast Duck and Pineapple, which I have to say was delicious and tasty. The chips could be better but the main meal made up for it. 5 Stars definitely

Better Chinese takeaway than my one back home! Wonderful food and definitely will order again and polite and welcoming staff!

reasonable price. not too salty.

Really fancied a Chinese whilst away recently,there are several in the area but Chilli always seems to be quite busy so we chose it.A sample of what we had ,a couple of curry dishes ,several rice dishes ,spare ribs ,prawn toasts .,and prawn crackers…..it was...

Okay, I moved to the UK from Australia 14 years ago, and sorry to have to point out, but besides trekking into London, I have always been bitterly disappointed with all the chinese takeout available in this country. Being of oriental heritage, maybe my expectations...

Absolutely fantastic food, great tasting food, big portion sizes and great service. We ordered on the telephone and our food was ready when we arrived. The sweet and sour spare ribs were beautiful. We will be using this takeaway whenever we are in this area....

Our local Chinese takeaway never fails to delight us

No flavour at all,tasteless.Sweet and sour chicken balls are spongey and the batter had no taste at all.Wouldnt go again.

Went to pick up from the takeaway as we're on holiday. Staff were friendly and helpful. Food cooked very quickly. Extremely tasty, clearly made from fresh ingredients. Chicken was deliciously tender and flavourful. Sweet and sour sauce was wonderful. Only negatives I have is there wasn't much prawn toast for the price and the sauce on my chicken and mushrooms was too tasty so didn't last and I had to have extra red sweet and sour. Heartbreaking as it was so delicious. My mouth is watering at the thought of it while writing this!

Food was amazing and the staff were really friendly and professional.

Staying at Haven Park in Hayle we stumbled upon the chilli Chinese. My partner had beef curry and i had chicken chow mein both dishes were delicious. Lovely friendly lady took our order we will definitely use again when in the area.

Tried chilli Chinese Takeaway whilst on holiday ordered over phone was ready when collected the crispy shredded chicken was really tasty as were lemon chicken and noodles, chips were a little soggy and egg fried rice only small container no free prawn crackers but overall enjoyable food and wld recommend

We tried chilli chinese whilst staying at local holiday park placed order over phone and was ready when we collected 10 mins later all food very tasty especially shredded chilli chicken, although chips a bit soggy and only small egg fried rice we spent over...

Was looking forward to this after reading the reviews. Pretty basic chinese nothing special. Over priced wouldnt eat it again.

Briliant as usual. Best in Hayle.

Used for the first time & food was fantastically tasty!!

Lovely staff, food was really enjoyable. Salt and chilli chips were a tiny bit of a let down but overall lush place 🤌🏼

Piping hot, I had a pancake roll didn’t think you could beat my favourite you did :) special foo yung delicious and some of my husband’s sweet n sour prawns Hong Kong style yumptious! All dishes were a delight shame you’re too far from home...

Some of the most wholesome chinese food we've had here - 5 stars for value, because we got so much good for just £20. I would recommend going for the meals (they'll even do a veggie one for you if you call in early enough- at 4:30 pm).

Always get my Chinese from here, great staff and great food, always good
