China China in North Dorset

This used to be our favourite Chinese restaurant in Blandford, but sadly no more. We ordered a half Crispy Aromatic Duck but what we got was a pile of finely chopped duck meat, certainly not shredded, with no crispness, not much aroma and very little taste. We were told that we had asked for shredded but since that option is not on the menu and we wanted the crispness of being on the bone that was nonsense.

I recently dined at China China restaurant in town based on a friend's recommendation. My friend DJ @allanturneyward was playing at the Greyhound in Blandford, and locals highly recommended this spot for a meal. I must say, the food at China China was absolutely amazing! The portions were generous, and the prices were quite reasonable. I will definitely be returning for another delicious meal. China China is truly the best in town!

Now I know what flaccid means…the ‘crispy’ duck needs to be renamed at this place. Grey, flaccid and not a crispy bit in sight. Served off the bone… sweating away in a plastic container…the bone left with it as if to prove that this had once been a living creature. In sympathy the pancakes were hard and stuck together. Completely unusable. The prawn toasts weren’t too bad. Sweet and Sour Chicken inedible as were the salt and pepper prawns. Resorted to beans on toast. ☹️😡

This was an excellent takeaway. It was made in 10 minutes and was really good! Best Chinese food I have had in Dorset. My mother was born in China and I was raised on only the best San Francisco Chinatown food so I know good Chinese food. Good meat (we had chicken, duck and beef) and also excellent tofu. My husband really liked it also and he is not a fan of CF as a rule (except when he was in Beijing). So we will definitely go again!

Disappointing. The starters were very poor quality, didn’t taste good and really greasy. The rice dish was bland and tasteless and the sweet and sour prawns tasted and looked like a cheap Tesco microwave ready meal. Actually ended up leaving most of it despite being hungry. I wouldn’t go back.

Over all I give this 0 stars I will not be eating here again for the following reason’s: Wrong food turned up, when we called to say this we were advised it would be another 40 minute wait onto the hour and half we had already waited for the food in the first place. Chow main was cold and the noodles and bean sprouts were not cooked enough it seemed as if someone had stuck raw noodles in soya sauce and stuck it in a box. Lemon chicken was congealed and again cold with 7 strips of chicken for a main course of £6.50 the dish was not even a snack. The salt and pepper chips were soggy and wet and yet again cold ! The BBQ sauce tasted nothing of the resemblance of BBQ sauce it tasted purely of warm salt. The pot of sweet and sour sauce that we had was tiny considering the amount of chicken that came with this dish and also in comparison to other local restaurants that supply that dish there was not even half the amount of sauce we would have got if we had gone to our normal establishment. All dishes were cold. The only good thing I have to say about this is that the delivery driver was a genuinely lovely human and was very apologetic when I mentioned theses things to her. In total we spent £40 and we might aswell have just thrown that £40 in the bin as that is where all the food ended up ! Never again will I order from here and the only reason we did in the 1st place was because Tasty in town were far too busy to compete a delivery this evening, they are by far 1million times better than china china, so disappointed.

lovely place and good food, can be a bit noisy and busy but lovely place

Family in the wilds of Dorset so this is the closest takeaway. Have used them twice now and will certainly continue to do so when out in that direction. Tasty food, prepared on time and well presented.

mazing place with some of the best food in blandford. never fail to bring up a mood. cheers up mty dad every time no fail

Tried this as I’d noticed the 5 star food hygiene rating and remembered the name so thought I’d give it a go, fresh tasting and lots of it, very impressed, would definitely use again.

I cannot recommend ‘China China’ highly enough; especially if you are looking for fresh, healthy, plant-based meal options in Blandford. Their Stir-fried Aubergine is, quite simply, heaven-on-a-plate; in all my many years of Aubergine-eating, I’ve never encountered it cooked to such a melt-in-the-mouth perfection! The dreamy texture, when combined with Black Bean Sauce and sweet crunchy peppers, carrots and onion, results in a mouth-wateringly delicious dish which I go back to again and again… and again!! I am also extremely partial to their Bean Curd with Mixed Mushrooms. Summer is always a pleasure to place orders with. She is super helpful and is very understanding and accommodating of any dietary needs and requirements. Many thanks to Summer and to the Chefs :)

Had a takeaway for 8 adults. They all thoroughly enjoyed their meals, first experience of China China for them all vowed it would nt be their last.

Good food quickly prepared, have had sit down meal as well as takeaway. Both are superb

Great take away Friday night. Food was excellent, well cooked, Duck dishes very tasty.

The food here has become ridiculously expensive and the portions have gotten smaller. The food itself isn't too bad but once in a while you will get really bad guts after eating this processed junk.

Food was tasty and hot staff were friendly and helpful.

Good chinese and prompt service

Worse Chinese food we have ever had

So tasty omg, got a large amount of food and was all delicious

Got a takeaway, was very nice indeed. Was ready when they said it would be.

The food from here is always delicious. Got it delivered and it was hot and fresh! best chinese takeaway in blandford! the prices have gone up however that is expected in times like this! worth the money :]

Ordered a takeaway and was not expecting much. The food we received was delicious and arrived piping hot

Ordered a takeaway and was not expecting much. The food we ordered was all cooked to perfection and was delivered piping hot. A very nice takeaway and will be using them again.

Not very busy but was lovely and good value. The Chinese curry was good and my duck pancakes nice. Spring rolls small but adequate.

Thin, watery and tasteless curry sauce. Egg fried rice more like plain rice with hardly any egg. I won’t be coming back any time soon.

I'm 31 now but as a 16 year old you could always rely on this place to serve you alcohol without question. The foods ok but the underage drinking they provided us was amazing! Thank you China China

They do the best chicken chow mein in town

Really disappointed today as website says you're open and I was looking forward all day to having a birthday takeaway but on phoning you're closed for maintenance!

Very poor quality. Ordered for home delivery food came within 30 minutes I thought it was a bit quick The sweet and sour sicken balls were undercooked and the chicken was pink not a good start. The crispy chilli beef was overly spicy and the sauce was watery, the orange chicken tasted like it had been made with orange squash and the egg fried rice looked like it was boiled rice not fried. The duck and the noodles were ok but all in all not a very good experience and very over priced. Especially for what we got. I think its safe to say we will not be going back.

Received the soup wrong, egg fried rice was just boiled rice with 2grams of egg, sweet and sour veg was 60% onion, no flavour

One of the best Chinese meals we've had for a really long time. Fast friendly service and beautifully cooked, tasty food.

Had chicken in satay sauce with chicken fried rice it was good

I had to leave this review as the food was fantastic! Best I've had in years! Girls were extremely friendly and helpful, loved our chow meins!

Worst meal I’ve been served in a restaurant for many years. Chewy dried up chicken in all the dishes provided. Fried rice that looked more like boiled rice. When paying was told as we have eaten it have to pay full price so said we have eaten half of it so will pay for what we have eaten.

The chicken satay starter was dry and tasted like yesterdays food with a thin tasteless sauce. Chicken fried rice look like boiled rice with a tiny amount of boiled chicken. Sweet and sour chicken was rubbery and chewy. We couldn’t eat it . All in all our worst meal in years.

It had a relaxing, peaceful atmosphere. The service was excellent and the food was delicious and good quality. From the outside it looked like the shop was closed, so less people probably came so I think the outside needs improvement. Apart from that, it was a lovely experience and I recommend it foe people of all ages.

Delivery driver was lovely. But other than that it was awful. Food arrived cold and wasn't good at all. Would not recommend at all.

Superb food, speedy delivery as well

Tried calling them for a meal gotb a call back from Dorset we don't deliver

Really disappointed. Been coming here for over 10 years and only last week ordered a takeaway. I got two Keyes of chicken in the entire sweet and sour dish. The rest was pineapple. When I called up the restaurant a very rude woman told me that never happens and hung up. Will never be going back.

Unfortunately we got our food home and it was cold, the salt and pepper chicken was very chewy, over cooked. The sweet and sour chicken balls were very over cooked. First and last visit.

If you order on a Saturday night expect your food to take almost 2 hrs to arrive and then when it does it'll be cold, overcooked and measly portions... 😔 Read your bloody reviews

Only ever used the takeaway and it is always 10 minutes! You will que longer sometimes for somebody to take your order! Always had lovely food from here. However it doesn’t blow you away. It’s one up from a supermarket but I wouldn’t dine here as a special occasion.

The food here is average at best and certainly nothing to get too excited about. Their minimum spend policy when using a card is in contravention of the card issuer’s rules and should stop or at least be challenged. Perhaps they’d care to comment, but I bet they don’t.

Our go to Chinese takeaway. The food is great and the staff are friendly.

Food was good but ur crispy chilli beef was a massive let down

Really nice takeaway from here while staying nearby for the night. Would recommend. Reasonably priced.

We are regular China China customers. The staff are friendly and happy to take our order.Everything is prepared for us generally within 10 minutes almost every time (sometimes longer on Saturdays)The quality of food is fab, so much so that whenever we go away the Chinese never compares to China China.

I love going to China restaurant and food is amazing and fresh and enjoyable and the best stuff. And very good music

Great takeaway - always friendly and fantastic food

Excellent service in these difficult times. Set meal was fantastic

Staff brilliant and food amazing would definitely recommended and very quick

Great service and even better food! By far our favourite Chinese in the area.

We often eat here as it is great quality and not expensive, tonight we took our 4-year-old and 2-year-old grandchildren for supper, they really enjoyed it and Summer the owner and her lovely mum could not have been more attentive, 11 out of 10 for service and food, cannot recommend it highly enough.

Very poor. In my opinion it isn’t the cheapest of places and especially for the quality of food. Rips were truly horrific and the meat on my special mixed curry didn’t even seemed cooked. Highly wouldn’t recommend.

China China has been out regular Chinese takeaway for 3 years. All the employees are really friendly & polite, very efficient and the food is delicious.

Great Food especially the squid and the Peking Duck, plenty of parking outside. Convenient location.

Had takeaway with my boyfriend and 11 year old son instead of Lucky House (difficult to get through on the phone). Service at China China, in contrast, was quick and food was ready in 15 minutes. Food was nice and very tasty. A bit more expensive than other Chinese takeouts in Blandford.

Our favourite Chinese always nice food and quick service.

I always judge a Chinese restaurant by the quality of its Singapore Noodles, and China China's were excellent. I can also recommend the Won Ton Soup. I ordered a takeaway - the service was friendly and the food was ready very quickly. I would definitely order from China China again.

Small. It very friendly. The food was delicious and very good value for money. There was 5 adults all with starters and mains for £64.

We ordered many dishes for a family of 8; including two children. Service was swift, courteous and for £50 very reasonable. The food was hot and tasty.

This place should be closed permanently. If people had any clue what goes on here...

Always enjoy the food here .Good service .

Popped in for an in house dinner very late this Saturday after a day at a wedding and even though they shut in half an hour the young waitress we were greeted by and the whole team was super friendly. We always had takeaway from here when we lived closer and it was always the best and can definitely say in house dinner was too! Food and service was excellent! Definitely a 10 out of 10 place!

Well thought we'd try an in restaurant experience for a change, well that was a mistake. Starter ok, chilli beef ok, partner asked for sweet and sour vegetable disaster. Couldn't tell if it had been stir fried or just drowned in sweet and sour sauce!! Picked out a few greens, half of mushroom rest was all onion and water chestnut. Mentioned it to waitress, "thats how it comes, if you want anything different you need to ask" Will we be back...NO!!

We had a takeaway meal between 3 of us

If this place did a delivery service, we'd order take away much more!! Good food, all the usual options, we love the Singapore noodles and crispy chilli beef.

Dined out early in evening, when we arrived we were the only ones dining in. All enjoyed our meals,the set menu good value maybe too much. Staff were pleasant didn`t have to wait to be served.

Had a couple of takeaways during my time in Blandford. Prepared quickly and well presented. Only grip is that Sechuan dishes could have had a more authentic ‘numbing ‘ taste from Sechuan peppercorns. Dishes are low in salt in my opinion so may need extra seasoning

Excellent meal and very reasonable. Friendly staff and a free delivery service for take-aways

We had a takeaway for 4 adults from here last night. The food ordered over the phone was ready when we got there to collect it. The staff were friendly and efficient. The food was tasty and very filling. Very good value for money. Will definitely be there again soon. Highly recommended.

Clean restaurant, very friendly staff.

Very friendly staff and very good food, l would come back again.

Stayed in the Crown Hotel opposit in January as part of w week touring Dorset and Somerset. We wanted a light meal and The China China restaurant is literally a minutes walk from the hotel. It was Tuesday in January and so we were the only people there at 7 pm. The staff were friendly and we had a plesant meal at reasonable cost, which ticked the box. So no complaints.

Lovely friendly place. Food is fantastic and cooked to order. I go every week

Best Chinese in town, staff are also lovely.

Ive had a lot of Chinese food but never a meal so plain and booring. The curry sauce has zero taste and the rice is not even fried. Chef clearly knows his way around a microwave aswell. Mark and Avoid.

Great food fast service will be coming again for more as I was impressed with the standard of the place

Was a loyal customer but since the change of ownership the food has become bland. The egg fried rice is simply boiled rice with egg in it...not for me.

Very disappointed! The food was bland and the chips were cold and hard. The customer service was good just a shame the quality ended there.

I came here with two friends very last minute. I didn't really have any expectations as I knew nothing about the place. However it was wonderful! We had a warm welcome and the waitress serving us was brilliant. She advised us we would only need two egg fried rice between us rather than three which I thought was really good of her and she was right! Lovely sized portions. We shared 4 dishes between us and a mixed starter for three as well. Along with drinks this only came to £23 each. The food was delicious and not greasy at all. Service was great and price fantastic. Will definitely be coming back!

Good food, would have been 4 or 5 stars... however just found a massive black hair in the food!

Always been good and fast; our go-to Chinese restaurant and we've never been let down to be fair. Wish they delivered! Easy parking of course next to the supermarket car park which is a bonus (free after 6pm).

Nice food however very un-welcoming of food allergies and do not consider them in the slightest

One of the many Chinese/ Cantonese take aways I blandford, they serve up all the classics just as I like them. Good price and a free fortune cookie, how can you go wrong?!

Good quality food, bill needs to be itemised

There were four of us, including two grandkids. The service could to be faulted at the start, we were served really quickly with excellent starters and drinks. We ordered one of the set meals, we had two orders of C at £20 each and it was more than all four of us could eat. The food was brilliant, very good quality. The only thing that stopped five stars was that the bill was not itimised and we think the drinks were overpriced or get the bill was wrong. Also the service was slow at the end when we tried to get the bill. But.....All in all we will go back as the food was very good.

China China has an extensive menu. It's not only good food but very reasonably priced. Staff are friendly and helpful. Would recommend to friends.

No high chair available. Staffs are very friendly.

Frist time here an the service was excellent an the food was very good. Was nice an friendly

Always decent service, never have to wait too long and a reasonable price. The food here is always a decent quality and ive never been disappointed. Also the fact you can order a takeaway is a big plus.

Well it’s with sadness I have to do this having been a very loyal customer for 10 years, however a number of incidents has led me to write this.

Nuts for dumplings they do it here I like the food from here my self I find it very tasty and not greasy.

loved the food, have used it for takeaways but eating in was an absolute pleasure a very enjoyable and pleasant outing

The best Chinese takeaway in Blandford. Waiting times are good, though seating is limited, so you might have to stand outside during peak hours. The portions are good and food is always piping hot. The meat can be a little fatty, but the vegetables are always good. I get the impression that it started more as a restaurant, but the takeaway is now more popular. It's a reliable establishment with courteous staff.

China China Visited this restaurant after a tiring day travelling & sightseeing, on recommendation from local. It is centrally located in town, & parking is available within a short distance. First impressions were of nice presentation, but distinctly empty. No staff available to receive & seat us, so we approached take away counter. House wine was pretty poor, but all that was available by the glass. Menu looked enticing, & we choose a set meal option with 4 dishes & some rice. Our food arrived way too quickly for it to have been freshly prepared. Quality of meat was poor . Crispy shredded beef so crispy beef was nuked. Curry was below average & disappointing. Sauces used on beef with chili, & sezchaun chicken were clearly from shop bought jars. Nothing about this meal was remotely authentic. The pitiful amount of strange looking Singapore rice to accompany the food was inadequate & rather tasteless. There was no provision of table warmers to keep the various dishes warm, and at no point did any staff enquire about our food or satisfaction. This is lazy Chinese cuisine, which is extremely overpriced at £16 pp for small portions of poor quality food. I did not use toilet facilities, but was not impressed by the hygiene standards of even the door handles of the establishment. I would not recommend or return to this restaurant

Disgusting, rancid food which was thrown away after one mouthful. The chicken is boiled, doesn’t even taste like chicken! Absolutely disgusting, will never ever ever buy food from here again. China China used to be our favourite Chinese but in the last 6 months it’s gone downhill quicker than a skier!

I've tried a few Chinese restaurants in town and this one is by miles the best going.
