China China in Brighton and Hove

Is China China still open? I went down there with a business friend two Saturday’s ago- peak evening time - and the restaurant was closed. I called the China China number just now and the message was Number Unobtainable. One of my favourite, fun restaurants in town. Hope it’s only a temporary closure.

My last meal here was very slightly below their usual standard, but I've had SO MANY great meals here at very affordable prices that I will still give them 5 stars. My favourite is sweet and sour fish, or prawns with ginger. Succulent prawns, fresh delicious vegetables. The service is outstanding, the only exception being when I was served by a gentlemen who looked as if he owned the place (he probably did), and treated my request to have egg fried rice instead of plain rice, but at less than the requested £4.50 for the upgrade, with contempt. You're wondering again why 5 stars? It's just so often so very good. Usually loads of choice for seating, when it's busy the other diners seem civilised oriental food enthusiasts, and you'll almost always leave feeling you've been to a little haven of tranquillity and value-for-money.

The menu is vast and terrifying containing elements of pig intestines, chicken heads etc. The fried rice wasn't, neither were the prawns. The waitress found English challenging at best and was unable to understand questions about the menu. Hence our stab in the dark choices. Prawn fried rice (it wasn't) and egg fried rice and Kung Po chicken. I had the ghandis revenge shortly after so money well spent - not.

Tasted cheap and not up to expectations.Wet squidgy chicken, and tasted terrrible. Nice staff, won’t be going again

The staff seem very friendly and the food was good, I had one Chinese beer, a chicken and sweet corn soup, chicken chow mein and a Chinese chicken curry. The food was good but not sure it was worth the price tag over over £31.00 but that is just my opinion and I know you pay more down south than in the midlands. I would recommend going as it is good food and they seem to attract locals which is always a good sign too.

Spontaneous visit as the Thai restaurant nearby that we had hoped to go to was closed! The menu is quite different to your average Chinese restaurant and felt more authentic (not that I'm an expert!). The wine list is "red or white" but they also do Chinese beer. The staff were really friendly and the food was delicious! I would happily go again.

Had a really nice meal here, soup starters, spare ribs, crispy chilli beef, enough fried rice to feed two, and topped up Chinese tea. Nothing too much trouble from the friendly staff. Will use again when in Brighton.

Ordered 2x whole roast ducks to find out there are MANY missing pieces (so it was NOT a whole roast duck) and chopped very poorly. Use to always get 2x whole roast ducks and this is the first time there have been missing pieces, very dry meat (not fresh) and just filling the tub to look like it’s full. Very disappointed for the price I paid and will not be returning.

Popped into here on the off chance as it used to be a great place to eat as China China. The prices are astronomical so we decided just to order 2 plain chicken chow mein and 1 egg fried rice and 3 cans of coke for the children to share. £31.50! With plastic plates. If I’d had known I would have gone to China garden at the end of the road. We definitely won’t be back. This used to be a Brighton institution, not anymore.

China China was always a pleasant visit. Very different now. Prices have doubled and quality has gone down. Some of the starters were pleasant but some of the mains have definitely not of the same quality as before; will not be going there again. Have been going there for years bot not any more,

Having recently re-opened after lockdown, the management have decided to significantly increase prices, some by 50% or more. One of the dishes we used to like has suddenly become a “chef’s recommendation” and gone from £6.95 to £11.90. I’m not surprised the chef recommends it for that sort of money! Furthermore, you used to be able to swap the included rice for a more exotic accompaniment, such as egg fried rice or noodles, for a £2 charge. This option has now been removed, so if you want plain noodles with your dish, you’re looking at £4.50 on top of the recently-inflated prices. At the end of the day, you can now easily pay double for the same meal you enjoyed just a few months ago. The charm of this place was that they used to offer a varied menu of simple Chinese food, served in a no-nonsense environment at sensible prices. You can’t raise prices so dramatically, give people less choice, still serve up the same food on the same plastic plates and expect people not to feel like a once-great restaurant has fallen from grace. Let’s hope they see sense and go back to what once worked.

This was once my favourite restaurant and I guess lockdown has destroyed it plus they haven’t done themselves any favours. so of course the first thing you notice is new menu new higher prices then you see a downward spiral on quality of food and if it couldn’t get any better the food tasted awful in fact I could not eat mine it was that bad. So the outcome is they have definitely shot them selves in the foot and we will never be going back again , such a shame...

Waited too long for service and when it arrived, it was less then average. Would have preferred a take-away from elsewhere. Wine really naff!

Didn't book just walked in very cosy indeed staff very polite indeed plus food of a really good quality. Chinese is my most favourite but this restuarant ranks high on my list .i can't still taste the food that good.

Food quality was horrendous. The portion sizes were near an empty plate and the price was ridiculous for the portion sizes. They also add extra charges onto the bill without notifying you, and when I questioned them they said the prices have changed from the menu but nowhere does it state that for proof. Wouldn’t recommend this place to my worst enemy.

Great Chinese food. I wanted to eat something hot. We ordered Won-ton soup and dumplings. Everything was really great and tasty. The staff was really nice and price was reasonable . I will definitely come back :)

We went for an early dinner before going to a gig. Friendly staff, very quick and efficient. Food was good and very reasonably priced. We were surprised that there were no disabled toilet facilities as we had thought that this was a legal requirement?Also taken aback at the *cash only* policy, just managed to scrape together the cost of the bill, but didn’t have enough for a tip. Seems a bit odd in our *cashless society *! This place was clearly very popular with the local Asian population, very busy.

En el pasado, he visto a personas asiáticas comiéndose patas de pollo y me preguntaba qué podría haber en ellas para su sustento. La respuesta es 'nada'!Me gusta probar cosas nuevas y cuando vi "Patas de pollo" en el menú. . ¡que se tenía que hacer!Lo intenté. Fallé. Depende de mí, no del restaurante. Hice lo mejor que pude pero las Patas de pollo son la versión china de Jellied Eels.El resto de la comida estuvo excelente. Buñuelos de plátano interesantes. En lugar de ser presentado en un baño de jarabe, el jarabe fue horneado, como cuando se obtiene una manzana toffee. Muy sabroso.El personal era encantador. Útil, y no juzgar a mi fracaso de Fowl Feet.Iré allí de nuevo.

Great Chinese/Malaysian food, I tried the har gau (prawn dumplings) and they were amazing, my friend from Hong Kong said that they tasted even better than in her home country. Also wide range of op.tion on the menu for very reasonable prices and friendly staff

China China. Now renamed Ho Chiak. Superb lunch for less than £10 a head including tea. Great service as always

Visité el restaurante el 18 de abril de 2019. El personal es muy amable y acogedor, que siempre es genial para ver. El dim sum es muy sabroso, especialmente las albóndigas de gambas. Tuvimos un tiempo fantástico y definitivamente regresaríamos, lo cual es un testimonio del restaurante y el personal debido a la cantidad de competencia en su camino. Teníamos mucho para comer con 4 botellas de cerveza y la factura era de poco más de 30. ¡Bien hecho muchachos! ¡Sigan con el fantástico trabajo!

He visitado este restaurante muchas veces y la comida ha estado bien. Honestamente puedo decir que nunca he comido comida tan mala como esta. Los 3 platos resultaron absolutamente desagradables. El pollo era claramente pollo congelado barato. Los langostinos eran como el caucho. El pollo y los anacardos eran, literalmente, este horrible pollo preparado con nueces y una pequeña cantidad de una salsa genéticamente dulce y enfermiza de una botella, que costó la asombrosa cantidad de 9 libras. La comida llegó a 30 quid. El agua y las galletas de gambas eran geniales. No mencioné nada como estaba con mis hijas y no quería causar ningún malestar. El personal es maravilloso. Despide a los muchachos de los cheff y regresa felizmente enfermo.

We love to eat here, best Chinese I tried for years. Better to eat in than order online the take away.

I ordered the schezuan chicken with steamed rice. The rice was alright but the chicken was terrible, worst chicken I've ever had in my entire life. Also, when I asked the waiter if I could change my order because I didn't like it, he started giving me attitude and refused to change it. I would not recommend this place at all!

Creo que este restaurante ha cambiado su nombre a China Joy. Parece el mismo "restaurante". El nombre es lo único que ha cambiado. Entré para el almuerzo. Un hombre que estaba en la parte de atrás me gritó "¡No!". Cuando entré, me quedé sorprendido. El otro hombre me dijo que me sentara en una mesa sucia. Al cabo de un rato, una camarera salió y dijo: "¿Sabes que cobramos un 3% si pagas con tarjeta de crédito?" Le dije "OK". Finalmente, se acercó y puso algunos paños de mesa de papel limpio sobre el sucio de mi mesa y me trajo un menu Le pregunté si tenían un menú de almuerzo. La respuesta fue, por supuesto, simplemente "No". Noté que era demasiado caro, pero finalmente hice mi elección. Ella me preguntó si quería arroz con él. Sorprendido de que por el precio que ya no tenía, le pregunté cuánto costaba el arroz: ¡5! Un poco de arroz que puedo comprar en Tesco para 60 p. Se están cargando 1. 80 para refrescos que les cuestan centavos. Muy codicioso, y absolutamente vil de servicio. Acabo de salir. No es de extrañar que yo fuera el único allí.

Food is overpriced, not even worth the money. Staff are rude, food made me feel sick never coming here again. Plenty other Chinese restaurants that are better. Would NOT recommend at all!!

Food didn't smell or look fresh. Time for food to arrive took for ages, by the time food came was cold. Would recommend eating else where for better quality!

Fui aquí con mi familia, incluyendo a dos niños mal portados. Fue perfecto, no inteligente pero informal, con un personal amable y un excelente menú de sabrosos platos auténticos, además de un poco de dim sum. Buen valor también, y fueron muy amables con el enorme lío que mis hijos les dejaron. Hay muchas opciones buenas en la calle Preston, y esta definitivamente debería estar en tu lista de lugares para probar, muy recomendable.

Great food and very friendly staff, willing to suggest dishes that we knew of but weren't on the menu. Prices are very reasonable and good sized portions, unlike other nearby restaurants they serve Dim Sum throughout their opening times, definitely recommend and we will come again.

I like chinese and for about 2 times a month i look for chinese food. we visited china china last week and i really liked it. The food selection was nice and food tasty. Not the best but i would come back for sure

In the seafood dish there wasn’t seafood and flavour.Very poor food and long time to wait for our order.I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant.

Been going to this restaurant over the years and had so so food ! but on this visit "my" it was good. My last visit was three years ago I am told the ownership has changed. My Won Ton soup was really good (trust me I have had many!) fresh and full of flavour,crispy duck as you'd want it. My friends who had a varying choice were all impressed and the service smiley,warm which made what was an ordinary night out quite special.

We were told this was an excellent restaurant, and it didn’t disappoint. The service was very good we explained that we wanted to order several dishes so we could share, and it was no problem at all.We ordered our food and did not have to wait long for it come out and it was delicious. I would recommend this restaurant.

Lovely place to eat, friendly staff & great food. Organised special dish in order to accommodate food intolerances Great atmosphere

Hotel recommended this restaurant and found the food very good and big quantity we was told we were ordering too much and he was right we came away stuffed and very good prices , it looks a bit rough and ready but the staff are nice and the food very good we would definitely eat here again next time in Brighton

We loved this place! It's "rough and ready" with an extremely extensive menu. The food was amazing , all four of us having different dishes. The staff were extremely busy yet very attentive, it's a fun place, I wouldn't go there for a quiet romantic meal but if you want value and somewhere with a "Buzz" this is for you!

Googled and checked trip advisor, visited here especially for dim sum down as one of the three recommended places, called ahead to book a table for the next half an hour but was told just to turn up.

Ate here in January with work colleagues and ordered starter and main. Both were very enjoyable, however didn’t need the starter as the main was a decent size so I couldn’t eat it all. Good reasonable prices, good portion size and good food. Will definitely return when I’m the area again

Inside this is a bit rough looking but clean. The menu looked good so we decided to go in. Well the menu was huge...Staff were a bit all over the place but the service was there. Food was brilliant, excellent dim sum hot fresh and tasty. We had to help ourselves to water but as it was there on the side we were happy to. Mains were delicious.

Been frequenting China China over the years and they’ve always been consistent in quality and service. Everyone I introduce to the place find themselves returning. The Singapore noodles are to die for as are their steamed buns.

Aunque se cita como un lugar que tiene buenas opciones vegetarianas 'esto no se traducen en vegetariano o una comprensión de lo que ser vegetariano (o incluso los vegetarianos). Tras agotar todas las opciones, y que nos ofrecieran pollo, el arroz y verduras plato fue el peor tipo de simple con una salsa de consistencia de mermelada - ish. Mis socios de pollo y champiñones con arroz, era de 3 bits de más hueso gristly de pollo, 1 champiñones y casi sin salsa en un tazón de arroz. bastante pesado No podía comer la mía, mi compañero, así que comimos en vez de la mía, que aunque no era más agradable, simplemente, de comestible su elección. Nos fuimos para nunca volver.

We went here for a friends birthday and there was a large group of us. This was a great choice as you pay individually as you leave (cash only). The place doesn’t look fantastic but my food was gorgeous. I will definitely be going back when I need a quick dinner and the prices were very cheap.

Went in for lunch and dinner. Enjoyed most dishes, the Peking Duck was excellent. I think Good Friends has the edge, but would return again.

Don't expect thrills at this restaurant but do expect very friendly service and excellent food. Not your usual service as food is not put in the middle as such you are served a complete meal which is not to everyone's ideal. At the end of the day the quality of food is the reason to visit and I can't fault that. If you are happy for a no thrills restaurant it is a must visit. Also there is no expectation from the staff as to ordering main meals they are more than happy to serve up just starters as it is a quick turn around style and cash only.

The best Chinese every dish is full of flavour and very cheap you can't go wrong on prices love the...

Llegamos un viernes por la noche después de un día muy largo y estábamos muy hambrientos. La comida llegó rápidamente y no nos decepcionó. El menú es variado y a un precio razonable, así que pedimos más que suficiente! Mi plato favorito era el Won...

Tuve pato y pollo con arroz precio muy razonable y contundente izquierda completo y satisfecho me deja de nuevo de nuevo.

We were seated very quickly , we ordered prawn dim sum , bbq ribs , spring rolls, seaweed , chicken cashew nut, sizzling beef , a hot beef recommended by the waiter , sweet and sour prawns , mixed vegetables, king prawn with ginger

Fuimos el domingo, bastante tarde. El restaurante estaba lleno, pero no demasiado lleno. Pedir comida rápidamente y nuestra comida llegó en pocos minutos. La calidad y el tamaño de la porción era de primera clase.

I visit this restaurant 1 time every 2 years for 10 years, and the quality didnt change at all, the taste was really goodbut i was a bit disappointed cose there werent many pieces of meet on each dished i ordered. like 5 pieces of chicken on a chicken rice dish!the owner is really kind, i will come again next time

Having been here a couple of times now, we can definitely recommend this restaurant for their great food, friendly staff and, if you're lucky, a really surreal, oddly watchable Chinese film in the background (as we had the first time we ate there). Extensive menu, big portions and very reasonable prices, just don't expect it to be fancy - it's very basic, but comfortable. Absolutely worth a visit!

Genuine Chinese Food. Great value for money, friendly staff, convenient location.A good flavor from Asia in Brighton.Try the special grilled pork or roster chicken.

Restaurant is basic - no table cloths, platic plates, but there is a huge menu to suit everyone, prices are good and service is quick. Wouldn't go here for a special night out, but ideal for a meal before hitting the pubs!

We have been visiting China China over the years and it usually promises good quality, reasonably priced food (albeit it often on sticky table tops). Our most recent visit was a disappointment - the food was of poor quality, the waiters' clothes were dirty, the staff were sorting the cutlery in full view of the diners, and the restaurant gave the clear impression of having lost its way. I did not feel well afterwards. I have given the restaurant a Poor rather than Terrible rating because it can do better, but there is something wrong right now.

Went here yesterday with my two teenage sons who thought it was good. Myself and my husband were less impressed but I think the efficient service and quantity of food makes up for any downsides. The food was acceptable but a little salty. The dishes come with a lot of rice and are served on melamine plates!. It is cash only. Its a no frills restaurant and a bit like takeaway food but as long as you know that, its fine.

If i order food i expect it to be hot not warm, i normally always order but since my last experience you have really put me off. When i had called to tell you this you did not seem to care, well lets see if you care about this review...

Having eat here before we sought it out for lunch. As before great service , tasty food and so cheap. Wish we lived closer.

The staff excellent the portions huge the food great value for money and the Chilli Beef in broth will blow yer wig off. Absolutely love evening.

We stumbled on this restaurant by accident and decided to give it a try. To my surprise they had kang kong in belachan, a delicious dish popular in Singapore and Malaysia. We had that along with the aubergine in salt and pepper with two big portions of roast duck and crispy pork rice. Yummy!! Service was quick and friendly too! Will definitely be back.

Despite the low cost there was no skimping on quality or quantity and the food was absolutely excellent

Food tasted good, service was quick, both ordering and afterwards too. Reasonably priced and tasted fine. Only not 5 stars because its a simple place, but that's what's great about it, how simple it is!

I've been there in February 2017 with my bf.Food was good quality, friendly staff but unfortunately, I can't pay by card. Cash only :/

The service was very efficient and meals prepared very quickly. When you have young children who has a very short interest span, this type of service is what you want. Delicious food was a bonus and they were happy to make recommendations too!

excellent fast food...love it there..best Chinese around...chilli garlic prawns fantastic, best ribs and duck...boyfriend loves the soups and noodles..and my celiac child has poached chicken and rice and loves it!

We have been visiting for years but unfortunately quality of food has deteriorated. We went the other night and we had to wait for an hr for a starter to share and another hr for main course. The couple next to us waited the same amount of time but just got up and left, as bored!We noticed they are giving priority to Takeaways because we kept on asking where the food was.When the food eventually arrived we noticed portions got smaller than in the past. And the quality has gone downhill. I agree with some reviews on here on the chicken being rubbery and beef tasteless.Sad

I knew it wasn't going to be good when saw people eating off of plastic plates and no chopsticks in sight! And oh boy the food was dismal. I have no idea where the chicken comes from but it's not from a chicken that's for sure! Will not be going back, go only if you like rubber chicken! GRIM

Food is lovely tasty but sometimes not as good depending on who cooks it i think staff very friendly

We stopped in here for a lunch on a bit of a whim and thoroughly enjoyed it. The staff couldn't have been friendlier, and the service was perfect - helpful but not over-attentive. The food was really good and the portions large. What drew us in initially was the fact that a lot of the local Chinese community were eating in there, which turned out to be a great indication of good food. The restaurant itself is a bit sparse in its decor, and very basic in its comforts, but that's reflected in the fact that the prices are very reasonable. A great and honest restaurant that serves fantastic food well.

I love China China! Very understated in terms of decor, more of a 'canteen' vibe but as long as you're a relaxed person you will enjoy! The food is great when you know what to order! Fresh and quick out of the kitchen because everybody works so hard! Very friendly and attentive staff!

Feel soz for the staff as they were lovely but the food was not as snake is not chicken when I asked for chicken curry I got snake and the egg fried egg rice was plan with a fried egg at the bottom not even cut the egg up and not wheelchair friendly the price where low

Nice staff but dishing up snake meat and making out it is chicken is disgusting!! It did not taste like chicken & my partner has had snake before so she knew straight away!! The prawn toast was nice but the duck was not sliced up and left on the bone so u had to bite off. The egg fried rice was disgusting; just chucking a fried egg in in some plain rice is NOT egg fried rice!!! The toilets are down stairs so not wheelchair friendly. They may not do a service charge but I would rather pay one for decent food!!! Bloody disgusting and been repeating on me all night!!

We stopped at China China for lunch on our first day in Brighton thoroughly enjoyed it. The service was exceptional and the food was served hot and quickly. The menu was varied and interesting -- quite a departure from what we see in the US. (Ever had "chicken feet" or "toes", complete with claws? Me neither.

Was not impressed with the food, couldn't even do chicken fried rice very well had lettuce on the top which surprised me and the chicken tasted like it was boiled not impressed wouldn't not recommended it poor!!!!

You know you are on to a good thing when the Chinese restaurant is full of Chinese people.We arrived for lunch and took our seats.It is a no frills restaurant, not the most friendly service in the world but the food really is decent.Served on plastic plates, cafe style environment but tasty tasty grub.Ideal for a quick lunch.

Got a delivery but I have never ordered from here but gave it a try. However I will not reorder. Not a great experience.

We live locally, so we come here quite often. No frills, friendly staff, good food like dim sum, stir fries, even home cook clay pot dishes. Good value for money!!

I eat here regularly with friends and the service and food is always of a high standard.The lively, friendly bustle reminds me of my times in Singapore.Of particular note are the healthy brown rice, Morning Glory and MSG free options.And the attentive staff, particularly the Malaysian hostess whose engaging charm only adds to the fun of the occasion.As does the choice of red or white wine.Either. Or. Dining out at China China is always a memorable moment for us.

Great food - great value - rings my bellsFast paced and busy gives this place an atmosphere that reflects Asia - although, admittedly i've never been to Asia but reckon I now have a tinsiest better understanding of how Asia must be. I've been there when it's quiet and it's all good then too. The staff are polite and the portions are generous and tasty - no complaints. YOU GOTTA TRY THEIR FRUIT JUICE - Orange and/or AppleThere's a mesmerising jelly fish in the fish tank! Wish they didn't bother with the fortune cookie thing at the end - How It's Made (tv series) informs me they're an American thing.Xiexie - 'Thanks in Chinese'

My wife and I love Chinese food so naturally we wanted to try this restaurant. The staff were very very nice right from the onset. Before we entered one of the staff assisted us with our little one in the buggy. The hostess was very attentive and helpful throughout the whole experience. ooh and the food was good as well. I will go back

A bit fast paced and slightly busy gives this place an atmosphere that reflects Asia. The staff are polite and along with the generous portion sizes the prices are also very reasonable!

Excellent dim sum, at tentative staff would visit again.surprised at the price, expecting it to be more expensive. Thanks for an authentic Cantonese lunch.

Wonderful and plentiful food. Great value for money. Staff happy and very helpful. You can take leftovers away if req'd.

Huge menu. Clearly written and indexed with with photos. We were able to make an order in no time. Majority of the items are priced £6.90. Service was quick to respond when we're ready to order. And orders were understood with minimal time. We got free salted peanuts as appetisers which was nice. We noticed larger tables are given prawn crackers instead - very generous. Only after about 5 mins food arrived. Dish sizes were adequate and not overly generous but certainly enough to you up. Food was delicious and served hot. I can't think of anything negative about the food. It's what you would expect from any Chinese or Cantonese restaurant. But maybe a bit better than the average one, in my opinion. Only things that didn't make it perfect was; 1) payment is cash only. So we had to waste 15 mins beforehand in finding an ATM. 2) the table surfaces were wooden and we're really sticky like they hadn't been wiped properly in ages. Like those you'd find in Nandos. But not a biggy just don't touch the surface!We would definitely go back again next time we visit Brighton and feel like a quick Chinese meal.

This is not a place for a romantic meal, but the food is great the service is with a smile. I love their har gau and aubergine with salt and chilli. Good value. Wine choice is limited to red or white.

We recently tried China China for a quick take away dinner. We got several kinds of noodles (Singapore were my fav) and everyone was very happy with the results. The spring rolls were also a huge hit!In addition, the service was fast and friendly. We may be trying this again before we leave Brighton!

This is where the local Chinese community eats that's how authentic this place is. The prices are fab for both food and drinks given that the 'posh Chinese restaurant' at the bottom of the street charged double !! The service is fab the cleanliness fab and the food sooo good ! We dined twice and if I was local would deffo be back..

We arrived in Brighton on the hottest day of the year, and therefore we didn't feel hungry until late. My girlfriend wanted a chinese and after suggestions by the recptionist at the hotel we walked to Preston Street and found this little gem.Eventhough they were shutting in 15minutes, the waiter welcome us and sat us down somewhere cool & breezy. He allowed us time to choose and when he came back with our dishes, he asked us politely whether we would want anything else as it was last order.The food was decent and very authentic, good portion size and great value for money.We left happy and we went back for dimsum lunch the next day, and was greeted like an old friend! Well done and thank you!

I vaguely remembered coming here some years back and vaguely remembered it being good. Either the memory was faulty or it has slipped considerably. On the positive side, the people working there are very nice and the appetizer--a roast duck with pancakes and hoisin--was acceptable. But oh my the Szchuan dry chicken with whole peppers was soggy and awful. The meat was not really recognizable as chicken--something with a texture between fish and tofu. Nasty. I paid and got out as soon as I could.

Maybe im being nostalgic about the earlier days of this restaurant but the last few meals Ive had here are, in my opinion, have beenl less than acceptable. The quality of the meat (mostly fat) and general taste of the food has been poor, I remember when the the salt and pepper chilli squid was the best I had ever had, these last fews time it was greasy and cold and the portions of all meals have definately got alot smaller. This is no longer the place to go for a great chinease for me im afraid. The staff are still pretty atttentive though, so ill give them a point for that, otherwise it would have been a 2.

Dropped in for a quick meal with a few friends. Did not notice the cash only sign on the door but it worked out ok, the menu was vast and we went for a number of vegetarian and vegan options. The food was of average standard and the atmosphere is more like a canteen which also is representative of the price, which is relatively cheap.

been twice with my daughter and friends recently and it's been a bit of a mixed bag. some dishes have been utterly delicious, some nice, some ok and some just awful. Service is quick and efficient and the food itself is inexpensive but i think in future we would rather pay a bit more and try somewhere else where the quality of the food is more consistent

We popped in here for a light dim dum lunch, service was prompt and polite. Not too much choice for dim-sum, would probably be better for a full lunch. Tasted ok, would recommend for something quick but not the best we've had!

We, 9 thai, try this restaurant because menu in the front with low price. We orfer roasted duck, honey pork and 3 more dishes for share and the tease is very good to compare with other chinese restaurant we ever try. The service is excellent. They forgot one dish and the kitchen was close so they give us some free drink, more than our expectation. Finally the price for 9 people with 6 dishes is only £54.

We only tried a few starters because we arrived late and were tired. The lettuce rolls were good and scallops and seaweed were lovely.

Went there for lunch and decided to have the two dishes my daughter liked. Honey barbecued pork rice and pork crispy noodle priced at £6.95 per dish. A can of coke for £1.45. Portion wise was that we were stuffed. I asked for lean meat char Siew but 50% were half fatty. About 15 slices of pork - different sizes. Fairly tasty! Crispy noodles were very crispy and saucy but the bits of pork were mostly scrappy and had fat on it. Normally I am not that fussy but I had to eat round the fatty lumps. Vegetables that came with it were Bak Choi and two or three mange tout. What are the positive bits about the place? Welcomed by a nice man and said please take a seat in Cantonese. Waitress took the order spoke to me in Indonesian. Atmosphere is like the Far East. Cash payment only and the best bit is no service charge added to the bill. Tables are wooden with no frills. Chef is from East Timor! There you have it. I quite enjoy the nostalgia of home but it is a cheap and cheerful lunch.

Fantastic Singapore noodles and chilli squid! Excellent value and complimented perfectly with the Chinese beer. Fully recommend to anyone looking for good honest food

Visited this restuarant on Saturday night and was very impressed.As the main courses were so reasonably priced we thought that we better have starters which were excellent (hot and sour soup and ribs). The main courses then came which were massive and of really good quality. Had canned drinks yhat again were reasonably priced. All in all fantastic value for money.

Unless you like grease avoid the laksa soup , it must have had a surface of an inch deep, sent it back, 2nd one came out just the same, inedible. They tried to charge me for it too... Lol !I've tried this place a few times , the staff are rude, the waiters just stand staring at you, but cannot speak English and the food is very bland, gloopy msg mashup

China China is one of our favourite restaurant in Brighton. We go there at least once a week and our 2 years old son is loving their food too!The staffs are very friendly and always make us feel so welcome. Their service is brilliant too, but you must take a note that don't go there in the rush hour as it will be very busy. We usually go there when they're just open like midday (12 o'clock to be precise).Every time we go there, we try to see other dishes that we haven't tried but in the end we always came back to our usual menu. And we recommend our favourite dishes for you to try when you go there! The list is incredible but you won't be disappointed!Starter:Wonton soup, Squid chilli salt pepper and Ribs chilli salt pepperMain course:Mixed meat with boiled rice, Roast duck with egg noodles in soup or just simply with boiled rice, stir-fry Ho fun with seafood, Singapore rice noodles, Porridge with shredded duck and Duck with ginger with boiled rice! Yuuuummm!!!Now and again we go there for dimsum but very often we ordered some of our favourite dishes above instead!Aaah... For our drinks, we stick to Chinese tea either hot or cold (depend on the weather at the time)!You know when lunch time coming and sometimes you feel like eating comfort food where you know exactly what to expect (taste wise)!!Well, for us China-China is the place to go!

Very popular amongst locals, this place serves large portions of Chinese/Malaysian/Thai food at very low prices.They serve Beer & Wine - if you are on a Budget, it is a great place to eat.
