China China in Shepway

I found this restaurant when I was looking for a place to have dinner near Dover. It was more to my taste and tastier than the Chinese food I had previously in Shanghai. If I lived nearby I would definitely be a regular customer here. I found this restaurant when I was traveling and looking for a place to have dinner near Dover.

Order some deep fried spicy chicken at £7.40 and the tub wasn't even half full... rang and didn't offer to sort it out ....

Order some deep fried spicy chicken at £7.40 and the tub wasn't even half full

Not informed in advance that there was only an “all you can eat” option. So paid a lot for two dishes. Luckily we didn't have to pay for the tough prawn crackers in advance.

Incredible food every time! We have been going to China China for years and it never ever disappoints. The staff are also really friendly and make you feel so welcome in the restaurant or even when you're just collecting a takeaway.

As ever the food was amazing, the service friendly and helpful. The price is excellent too! Can recommend this place enough!

Easily the best Chinese in the area! My second home 😂👍

Very fairly priced For great food. Very friendly staff. 100% recommend

It was Tues evening, we were given neither menu nor cutlery. The only option was fixed, £26.00 eat as much as you like. The meal started as it was to go on, a scrappy amount of crispy duck for 2 people, just crisp, pre- processed pancakes cold with the packet left in the steamer and limp cucumber. We will not return. Definitely not recommended.

Food was plentiful as it is an all you can eat restaurant. It was delivered warm and quickly from the time of ordering. Staff were friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. We left very full!!

Foods great, staff are nice, service is fast. Quite small and can be a bit loud

The young Chinese lady that usually takes the orders and payment for the take-aways is so friendly with a warm smile, it's always pleasant coming to collect the food, which is tasty with a wide range to choose from. We've tried others in and around Canterbury, but this is the one we've decided to stick with!

Great food eat in or take away never had a bad one from then use them regularly can't fault

Absolutely awful, went there for a birthday dinner last night and the gentleman that works there was so rude giving us next to no food, asked for more prawn crackers for 3 of us he gave us 2, he charged £80 for 2 adults and a child under 2 too eat, 1malibu and 1 coke absolutely disgusted with his service

The service and food was second to non.. absolutely brilliant,definitely worth a visit

This is the worse place we have ever eaten in and we are foodies and eat out 3 times a week. £122.00 for 2 adults and 2 children who we did explain at the beginning one didn’t eat Chinese, but they failed to mention that because he sat with us at the table he would be charged £26.00 The food wasn’t great, tasted like it was all pre cooked and heated up. The dumplings was so hard you could have took the window out with them, they was in the shape of a vegetable somosa didn’t realise I we was in the Indian. The food was shocking! We have a better Chinese round the corner where we live and have more food for £45.00 and the quality is spot on. When we questioned the bill and said he didn’t eat she said because he sat at the table he was charged £26.00 The service and food was not great wouldn’t recommend and definitely would never go back. The decor and cleanliness of the restaurant is dated and dirty!

Super Chinese eatery. Great food excellent staff.

China China is expensive by many Chinese restaurant standards, but the food is as good as you will taste anywhere. There is a set price menu where you can order up pretty much anything on the extensive menu. Cooked fresh for you rather than sitting on hot plates like most buffets.

Dine here regularly. Excellent food served in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere. Customers are treated as guests, not as a business.

Very nice food. Nice service, but it 🙂can be slow at busy times or be asked to order more food in on go when they have a big order come in, which we did not want to do. Atmosphere could be better. But a nice meal and nice place to eat. We will try there again.

Booked ahead for an all you can eat banquet. Smallish portions - but I prefer that. You can choose more dishes. Everything was excellent, and I thought very good value. We were served promptly and we had everything we asked for. I will be back!

Utterly Disgusted and will not be returning. This was recommended to us by one of our friends, so we thought to give it a try. After arriving we were greeted and seated, in what was like sitting in a strangers conservatory. No music, just a silent coldish room with no warmth or sense of even being in a restaurant. Having arrived it wasnt busy at all, we had to wait 30 minuets for someone to take our drinks order then another 20 for the drinks to even come. We ordered the first part of our meal after being there for 40 minuets. to our disappoint a side plate of duck arrived enough for 2 pancakes and no more. Had eaten all the veg to go in it before the duck had even arrived. They then after being there for an hour took our starter order, which took a further 30 minuets to arrive with things missed of. I had ordered tap water when we arrived... 1.5 hours in still no tap water. We ordered the chefs special prawns... 2 come out. we ordered chicken balls with our starters... again never come asked 2 times for them. then after having been there for 2 hours enough was enough I had lost all appetite and wanted to leave the weird and cold place I was in 2 turn up. I went up to the front to ask for my water instead of waiting any longer to find the man with his hands full of cash and no care for the fact that I was and had been waiting over 1.5 hours for my water. This place is obviously family run maybe? but with only one thing in mind which is money. Portions are pathetic. waiting times ridiculously long and service at an all time low with 2 young girls who has zero experience or idea. Money grabbing and that is all I have to say. dont go there is you are hungry.

Great Chinese, sometimes a bit slow and longer times than stated, but just because they’re always so busy

The night we went was a quiet Sunday night... We had a lovely welcome, and show to our seats. Where we indulged in their menu... Now! The food has got to be in the top 5 we've ever tasted! Full of flavours that blow your mind, and obviously very fresh... order as much as you want too... This place is very highly recommended, and we will be bringing family and friends back to dine...

Food gorgeous as ever, service wasn’t great, Waiter didn’t come to table often at all, no atmosphere and could hear the waiters YouTube or whatever he was loudly laughing at over the very depressing classical music- 10/10 food as always. Unfortunately 1/10 service & atmosphere would recommend for food but with service and atmosphere on a weekday probs best stick to weekends. Shame really as best Chinese food around, we drive a way too. Very good prices for quality and variety of food.

Amazing food and although the price isnt as low as others the freshness and taste makes up for it. Will definitely go again.

I got a realy bad indigestion other wise good 👍

Freshly cooked food and plentiful for an all in price. Definately recommend.

Great food, great customer service, great atmosphere, no wait time, seated immediately (although I booked just in case) just as well as it was full! Quite surprised for a Sunday eve. Highly recommend A*

Oh my word , the food is amazing.

Fantastic food,,, plenty in takeaways

Lovely food and excellent service

Love this Chinese very polite staff food is delicious they just keep bringing it up but don’t waste any

Waste of money, should of got local take away and saved £50 quid. Cook needs to give it up. Feel like I've just been robbed

The owner very rude. Price is on size which find very strange for kids. They just seem to worry about the money and not the guests. Make sure and check receipt because drinks can be on the receipt which you haven’t had

Awful experience… minimal food on dishes took two hours to serve two courses then charged us £26.50 adult price for my 8 year old daughter who was a fraction over the height range due to her shoes.. all she ate was 15 chips.. the manager was rude when I questioned the bill. Won’t be going back!! £106 for 4 people and 9 tiny dishes of food..!!

Takeaway always top class and tasty

Hidden gem of a restaurant. Free car park just across the street, honestly doesn’t look much from the outside but beautiful decor inside, lovely atmosphere, great price for all you can eat menu, quick and friendly service and really good food. Highly recommend.

We went for a meal, nothing wrong with the meal or the service BUT the price !! On the website and on info. at the hotel where we were staying the ‘eat all you can buffet’ is listed at £15.95 ! The printed menu we were given showed £23.50 ! Too slow to raise it at the time, but future diners should know !

We always get our takeaway from here! They never disappoint! It's always fresh and tasty. Would highly recommend having dinner here. The staff are super friendly and welcoming. Dishes are reasonably priced too!

Absolutely delicious food, attentive staff and a lovely atmosphere

Excellent Chinese food. Best I’ve tasted in ages!

The food was delicious, hot and fresh and the service was great couldn't fault it! My only peeve would be having to pay the adult price for a 10 year old

Very good , would recommend. Go with an empty stomach!

We enjoyed a lovely meal here in Lyminge . Situated opposite the Folkestone bound bus stop. The service was good and our waitress helpful. Wide ranging menu with something to suit most diners.

Over priced, charged £28 for my nine year old son to eat for one small plate. Won’t be rushing back if at all.

Well over priced for what it is, yes the food is ok but the prices are horrendous, even charged £28 for my nine year old son. Won’t be rushing back if ever at all.

went here with my parents the food is good i know its eat as much as you like but portion sizes are very small! you ask for chicken satay on sticks for starters you get 2! you want chicken balls with your main you get 2 i asked for a chow mein for my main was pretty good but had to ask for another as it was so small!! i honestly cant say the food is bad its just very over priced £28 each on a Saturday night that not even with a drink! then i had a large coke which they poured out of a coke cola bottle which cost them probly £1.50 but charge you £2.50 i know the price of things have gone up but come on £28each they easy making 150%profit on just 1 customer don't think i would return again with these prices

Chinese New year evening we had some very tasty food delicate flavours and things specially served that we had not tried before. Staff so enthusiastically served and entertained us with Chinese dragon , fire crackers and fireworks . Never disappointed when we go ,highly recommend for eat in or take a way .

This was Chinese New Year special evening. Food and service excellent. In-between main course and pudding there was a dragon dance and fireworks outside. A good entertaining evening. Only criticism being it was a very noisy environment in quite small restaurant.

First time eating here , will definitely be back

Was good food Crispy chili beef was great!

I've had many a Chinese but never one as tasty as this. So full of flavour. Very friendly staff and about the right price. I have just found my go to Chinese takeaway! I've recently moved here so been searching and testing since I arrived. 10 out of 10! They don't deliver but worth the drive

Rude as all hell here. I refuse to reward rude behavior.

Amazing food, cooked to perfection, and served by a very polite and happy young lady. Definitely our new favourite Chinese buffet.

Amazing food, friendly and welcoming staff, excellent value for money, clean and well decorated restaurant. The best Chinese restaurants I've been to.

First time customers and without doubt will be returning. A busy Friday night, but that didn't stop a service with a smile and some cheeky comments from the lovely lady there. On average it took 10 minutes between finishing, ordering and receiving the next dish. Everything seemed (and certainly tasted) fresh. Nothing was left on our plates. Food was class. Perfect portion sizes. Mongolian Lamb was phenomenal. Quality evening out for £25 per head (eat as much as you like). Can't wait to return.

Very uninspiring take-away meal. Mains were tasteless.

Went here as we were told it was really nice and that the food was great. Unfortunately we had difficulty with the menu as 2 of us wanted the eat as much as you like but as I have recently had stomach surgery I asked for just one item off the menu. We weren't allowed. The place was dirty, the carpet was horrendous. The food was nice enough but really basic, no better than an average take away. £79 for three of us and 2 drinks...definitely felt well and truly ripped off. Please don't bother with a restaurant experience but I'm sure a take away would be ok.

Really nice but could have done with bit more room felt bit closed in wth 13 round the table

Lovely food, very friendly staff, great service. Take away was busy too. Will definitely return.

Ab fab wonderful service and great tasty food xxxxxxx

I’m so sorry to say we had a terrible meal Starter dish came without the source and then waited 15 minutes. When it did come out it came out without the chicken. 10 mintues later the dish with the source came out. Then I ordered soup that was great. The mains I ordered a beef dish this wash stone cold, we asked the waiter to feel it. He offered another one I declined as was put off. Then the rice came out warm at most followed by my sweet and soure chicken. I asked for no batter guess what it came out with batter!!!!! So this time I asked the young lady for it with out batter. This then came out by this time the rice was cold…. So £26 for soup!!!! Very high price for a not great service. The total bill for the two of us was £60+ with 3 cokes and a warm j20 I feel very disappointed and would not return again….so angry

Disappointing first time. Service was very slow. We waiting 55 minutes for our food. When we went to order a few more dishes we was told we need to finish the one we already have. By the time we fished those dishes we was still hungry and could of done with some more, however we didn’t fancy waiting another 55 minutes as time was getting on. By the time we left this restaurant it was 21:45. We didn’t order any dessert. So for a 2 corse meal that took forever to arrive at our table was very pricey. In short I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant. 1) services very, very slow. 2) dishes very small 3) very pricey 4) this restaurant advertises you can eat all you want for a set price. This is not true as it was impossible to order. So for this reason I am writing this review. I hope the reader’s experience will be better then our.

Lovely value u for money enjoyed the food Food was fresh and tasted lovely

Good food and very good service again. Food very tssty and well cooked.

Amazing place and actually great price for the quality!

Food is really nice! I come here often when visiting family and I always look forward to grabbing their beancurd in black bean sauce! Highly recommend.

Quite expensive for what it is, but a lovely meal. All cooked to order which was fresh, hot and delicious. A few blips with not having cutlery, mains took a while, wanted to reorder drinks etc but otherwise a good experience for our first visit.

Excellent Chinese! Honestly some of the dishes that come out of here are cooked authentic and on point, and they always have a all you can eat restaurant.

Excellent food and service as always. Its the only Chinese we go to for an eat in meal. We don't use it for takeaway purely because we live too far away otherwise we would. Lovely friendly staff. Have been coming here for many years now and always have a very nice time.

First time of trying here, had a takeout. I am sure I will ge back 👍

Just finished my takeaway, brilliant food and friendly staff. Definitely eating again maybe next time at the restaurant

Quick service with a smile. Great value too.

Arrived here and had drinks served quickly by friendly staff. Our seating was located very close to another table so was sometimes uncomfortable speaking to my partner as we could hear eachothers conversations clear as day. We had 5 starters to share which were quick and hot however it wasn't a lot and you only received 2 of each thing which wasn't really enough however we ate it all and moved into mains. Our mains we had a rice dish and 3 other mains but they were the same size as the starters and wasn't overly filling so luckily with it being all you could eat it was a good for some however by then we was feeling pretty full. The food overall was satisfactory and in my opinion I feel like it was very basic Iceland meals. I probably wouldn't come again however it was a good experience.

Very nice food and staff, a tad expensive though.

Very good food! Just needs a referb

Amazing tasty food, good service, and good pricing

We visited here Thursday evening for the first time and we weren't disappointed. We had heard before moving to the village how great this place was and it did meet our expectations. Good was tasty and portion sizes were just right. Well done!

Excellent food and customer service

Lovely staff very friendly great food in a cosy ennvironment at a reasonable price thankyou

Well what can I say. There were six of us tonight to celebrate my 70th birthday. As usual the staff were wonderful and the food was fantastic. Definitely be coming again. Thank you to you all.

Amazing food that is cooked to order. The plates are small but you can order as much as you want so it's not really much of an issue. Will be going back again.

Just got sweet and sour chicken balls and prawn in batter with rice and its absolutely delicious even the prawn crackers are fantastic 💓💓💓💓

Xmas Eve family meal. Beautiful, authentic food served at a leisurely pace. Friendly and welcoming. Will be back soon!

This Chinese was recommended. Absolutely lovely. Food was hot presented well. Staff helpful good value for money. Will definitely go back

The food is fantastic, I'd recommend the all you can eat options to give you the chance to experience many different types of food

Friendly welcome upon arrival. Service attentive, prompt and efficient. Food first class (especially the duck). Repeatedly asked as to whether we wanted more. Certainly will be returning.

Good quality food, extensive menu and the all you can eat is of good price.

Tried for first time. Egg fried rice was ok but miniscule amount of egg present. The tofu in black bean sauce was ok. Tofu quite soft, the sauce had a nice flavour but a sweet after taste and lacked umami. The chicken in yellow bean sauce was oddly dry with no usual sauce. The vegatable rice noodles very very bland and lacked seasoning. Possibly won't use again as a bit out of way for me for the quality.

I came with my partner Friday 22nd October and after waiting nearly 3 hours for our meal to be served which they didn’t tell us it would be that long we ate all we could as our hunger had worn off a bit by the time food came but left a few prawns and rice as is our right to do so being the paying customer and it’s down to the chef to portion it, my partner is a qualified chef and knows this then we went to pay and the chef was waiting for us and said in an extremely rude manner don’t order as much again as it’s not good for our business! There was no apology for the ridiculous wait just aggressive abuse which he only aimed at us we presume because we were 2 young women and he thought bullying us was ok and he didn’t bully any other customers that left food they couldn’t eat.. if I order a meal and can’t eat it all that’s NONE of his business especially as the 3 hour wait had put us off by the time it finally came. This kind of behaviour is not acceptable from a chef & I’ve reported it to trading standards too and will never go there again and will tell my family and friends to avoid it too

This is a small restaurant in a small village, but it is big on good food and value for money. The pace in the restaurant is fairly slow (as befits a de-stressing meal in a village setting) but the takeaway function is fast and efficient...

Dined here earlier this evening. It was delicious. The two young waitresses were friendly and attentive. Food was fantastic. We were asked numerous times whether we wanted to order more food. At no point we’re we made to feel like we had ordered too much....

Place recommended by a few people so tried a takeaway. Ordered came to £60 what a disappointment half ordered not there, when given thought it a bit light since ordered feast for 2 and 5 dishes and sauces which filled 1 bag with 2 trays in another. Not accustomed to checking food as nothing on lids indicating content. Don't recommend or will use again, use at your own peril. Have since checked and found 4 of the 5 dishes absent amounting to £21, feel well and truly conned.

Very nice lunch, clean .Waiter didnt seemed to understand but we got what we ordered. Fast service as we were the only 2 in the restaurant

First visit last night with friends. Personable staff and great food. Only disappointment was beer only available in small 330ml bottles at £3.80. Would be nice to have a pint ....or larger bottles. Shall go back.

Came as a family of four, food amazing all freshly cooked, order as much as you want for a set price. Thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend. Waitress was really attentive and friendly and we all though she was really good. Thank you

Amazing food and perfect portion sizes.

Always great food, fantastic staff, good value and very accommodating with all of our dietary challenges!

Didn't actually eat in the restaurant as we felt it was a bit expensive, eat all you want for £19.50 for those who eat a lot, but we don't, so it wasn't value for money for us! Lovely staff tho!
