China Garden in Great Yarmouth

Tried all of the Chinese takeaways in the area and this has always been the best by far. Won't order from anywhere else now. Lovely food

I was visiting my friend in Great Yarmouth. We went onto the JustEat app and ordered. We had an issue where the delivery driver couldn’t find us so we called through to the restaurant and the lady was very apologetic and stated that because we had been waiting so long she would cook the food fresh and send another delivery driver that had delivered to my friends address before. The food arrived it was delicious, and we had some crispy fried chicken wings as an apology for having to wait for the delivery. We were both very satisfied with our meal.

Absolutely delicious highly recommend

Staff friends around counter which when I walked in I was unsure if they were staff or not.. I ordered s&s chicken balls and egg fried rice ( around £14 ) frigging expensive but I've not had a Chinese takeaway in months so may be be the norm. Anyhow dry chicken and rice tasted fine until I put the radioactive coloured s&s sauce on..its a pricey meal for cats and gulls if they eat it.

The restaurant claimed to have tried ro call us to complete delivery as we are on a holiday park and the drivers are not allowed to enter the park. We had no missed calls and no email. In future you should contact customers at point of order to communicate the need to meet at the main gate. Really poor service.

What an absolute hidden gem! Food was fantastic, great menu with plenty of choice. Every mouthful a culinary delight. Staff super friendly & welcoming. Lovely clean interior. Will definitely return if we return to the area. Thank you so much for a lovely evening 😊

We chose this restaurant to order a Chinese from on our family holiday to a haven resort on Great Yarmouth. The food arrived on time , the delivery man showed good communication when trying to find us in the resort and the food was soooo hot! Definitely value for money! Life saver for gluten free options ! Thank you

Ordered Chinese takeaway online all was going well (ordered from here many times before no issue) Chose to pay cash, delivery guy delivered order, rude as anything pretty much gave me food and left without a chance for me to give him the money, being honest person I rung the shop and said I never paid him he just walked off, to be answered by a rude girl on reception not even saying thanks. He come back smirking and laughing while holding his hand out for the money. Will not be using this Chinese shop again which is a shame as always been so good until today.

Used to be the only chinese i go to. Needs shutting down. Dont know what you are serving but it is not edible. Why is your swt n sour sauce like jelly?! And ur chicken is so rubbery i cannot bite through it?! Literally lost a regular customer! Your prices have gone up but the quality is shockingly bad to a point ive now changed what was once a good review!!

Great food lovely staff and helpful. Was on holiday and went here as the Chinese near oursite was closed but so glad we found it was lovely food.

Nice takeaway good fast service and good portions

Not the most fancy of places, but food is good.

Fanstanic food. Me and family really enjoyed everything. Fast delivery. Thank you.

Third time ordering a takeaway from here and excellent as always. We ordered New Year's Eve so the restaurant must have been extremely busy but you wouldn't know that from the very high quality of the food. Highly recommend the broccoli in oyster sauce and the King Prawn satay. Wonderful.

This is the last time I will ever order a takeaway from here. I left it 5 months since my last one star review to see if it had improved. Sadly, very poor. The chicken wings are still as dry, and I don't even know what the sticky mess is in the mushroom chow main? Picture enclosed. It smelt of chemicals. It was so bad, I couldn't even eat it. I'm done with this Chinese. Eat at your own risk.

I have used China Garden home delivery for two years. Usually, they have been great. These last three months, they have gone downhill. I emailed them with pics to get it sorted. I ordered again tonight, and it was beyond dismal. The chow mein and tofus dishes were good, but the chicken wings is what has gone downhill. I enclose pics against a two pence coin to show size. The colouring doesn't quite capture the weird black coating on salt and chili wings. They are tiny, overdone, and with weird black edges. Please, China Garden, can you look into this, as I have had no response to my email, so I need to get your attention. I'm a regular customer, but after today's poor £14 for 2 portions of wings, I'm not ordering again.

Had a notification at 19.03 to say order was ready to collect. Got there approx 15 mins later. No sign of order as is wasn’t ready. Then at 20.25 were told they couldn’t find the order. They then found it and we were told they were now going to make it. Got home just before 20.45 and then had. Call to say they had missed an item and the driver would now bring it to us. I understand it was xmas eve and very busy but there were others experiencing the same problem. If they can’t handle busy they should have closed to new orders. I won’t be ordering from there again. Only went as my usual place was closed.

Food had a strange smell, similar to old smokey bacon cooked in the microwave. The yung chow fried rice had fatty lumps of smoked bacon, rather than char sui pork and tasted disgusting. Ate some of the peking chicken and binned 40 quids worth of food, won't order from here again and I suggest you don't either.

Not as good as it use to be, meat had a weird taste.

Ordered at 17.50 still waiting for the food to be delivered at 19.50 After contacting them twice and being reassured our food was on it’s way.....never arrived!

Was very poor wouldn't eat there again even the service was very Unprofessional

We ordered for the family - large order but nothing out of the ordinary chow means fried rice beef in black bean sauce sweet & sour chicken balls chips .. £105.10 worth … when the order arrived there was plenty of sauce about 7 of them - chips - 3 egg fried rice - 3 chow mein and then some chicken wings (which I didn’t order ?) No chicken balls and a chow mein short .. I think the girl had over charged us to begin with but then to not deliver what was ordered …?? I made the order £20 less ? Ruined our family evening .. won’t use again. - not even a sorry 🤷‍♀️ We used to use regularly .. no loyalty from them - unfortunately..

Food was expensive so expected it to be delicious. When I opened the containers there was a weird smell. The house special chow mein and pancake rolls tasted very strange, but bland at the same time. The meat in the chow mein was slimy too. I definitely won't be ordering here again. Also saw orders for delivery sitting on the desk for a good 10-15 minutes.

We usually use the local Chinese takeaway in Belton whilst staying at the Wild Duck however they were closed so looked for an alternative close by who would deliver. We found these on Just Eat, but ordered directly off their website which was a little cheaper. Food was delivered as promised, we met the driver at the gate. The food was piping hot and smelled lovely. We had a variety of dishes including Chow Mein, special fried rice, honey chicken and mixed starter. We were thoroughly impressed, food was plentiful and very tasty. The honey chicken was delicious, the prawn toast lovely and thick and satay sauce was the best we have had. Glad we discovered this place (and ignored some of the earlier reviews), will recommend to friends when they visit and use again when in the area.

Ordered out tea for 8.15 (at 7pm) got a call at 8.30 to say something was out of stock and food would be delivered by 9pm…. At 9.30 we are still waiting!!! Phoned twice absolutely disgusting customer service kind of tough luck it will be there when it is we have been busy!!!

Food is great but it is very over priced compared to other locals.

Delivery time is longer than advertise. Our order came in after an hour and 10 minutes. It should have been 45 minutes delivery time. By the time the food arrived it was already cold. This has happened twice and we should have learned our lesson by now. Avoid ordering from this Chinese not worth the hassle.

Our favourite Chinese never a problem and food is always fantastic highly recommended.

Used to like this place, wasn't the cheapest but the food quite good. However this has all changed when the prices shot up due to the cost of living crisis. I get prices will go up but it's no excuse for the quality to go down with cheap ingredients (it shows in the meat and the abundance of peas now) food quite bland now

Hit the spot. Absolutely delicious.

First visit here wont be our last, we ordered and collected food. reasonable price, food very good, nice and hot, large portions. Thank you for a lovely meal

Discusting food expensive and dont take cards

Was staying at Haven Holiday park Hopton and wanted to order a Chinese for 9 people. Delivered quickly, all hot, Tasted great, can’t fault it.

Best Chinese by far. Order here almost every week and it’s consistently amazing. Know exactly what you are getting every time. Compliments to the chefs (I’m one myself) and Thankyou to the always polite drivers. A few times (including tonight) we’ve been sent something for free! Which is a lovely gesture and gets me and my partner to try new things. Win win. You should have more 5 star reviews than you have!

Husband did not like any of his meal ,even the prawn crackers were very bland no flavour

If I could give no stars I would !! Order confirmed for 7.05pm - 7.25pm delivery as we were out . Arrived at 6.40pm we weren’t home, called them. Delivery came 10 mins later , driver tried to charge me additional £2.50 for delivering , I explained I had ordered for specific time , he was rude , basically said they would deliver when they wanted to and walked off . Food was disgusting cold and over priced (prices have gone up portions are less too ) won’t be using again - Shame as we’ve been customers for over 5 years !

Food ordered for 7-7.30pm delivery , it arrived 6.40pm needless to say we weren’t home . Called to rearrange delivery , driver tried to charge me and extra £2.50! I explained I had ordered a specific time for a reason. He was extremely rude and said they would deliver when they wanted to . The food was atrocious, cold and unappetising, incredibly overpriced for poor quality and smaller portions . £1.60 for a can of coke !! Will take my custom elsewhere ! Shame as Iv used them for over 5 years

Ordered meals just before 6pm .....7 30 and after 3 phone calls eventually arrived What has happened China Gardens never been this bad before

We used this takeaway for the first time and never again.The food was of poor quality and ended up in the bin when we got home .Even the waiting area was dirty and full of dirty delivery's bags thats not good the see.We should of gone to our regular takeaway the embassy near the ocean rooms in Gorleston .

It was xmas eve and only used this place because Embassy china (our usual one) was very busy ( a good reason for it), and very very disappointing it was to, walked in to order and waited till all the phone orders were done, not good value for money in comparison to our usual( the best in the town with no doubt) flavours for food were good but over all no comparison to Embassy chine, will not be using again.

Food lovely as always cooked perfectly. Chicken balls and chips Chicken curry, chicken chow mein and egg fried rice

Food order was wrong and took ages

I ordered to collect it was not ready even though no-one else in there. I ordered duck in plum sauce but when I got home it was duck in pineapple, which I don't like. Unfortunately I was now running so late I didn't have time to go back . Messaged but got no response!

Gelatinous chicken which was a bit fishy. NO flavour in the pineapple chicken, the brocoli chicken or the chow mein (and no Beansprouts 😳😳). Tasted like they had used a stock cube and added corn flour to thicken it up for all the dishes. Great sweet and sour sauce. If you like bland, this is the takeaway for you

Ordered to be delivered at 19:30, arrived at 16:30. Go figure. It's either 2 hrs late or 3 hours early. Never again.

1st time of using this Chinese place tonight and really must say the best I've had yet...will definitely be ordering again...very polite young lady taking the order, delivery dtiver very polite too,well done guys amazing food ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We ordered food last night which was lovely and hot on delivery, however, the driver had clearly "dropped or thrown" our bag of food on the floor as the bottom tub was smashed up ( it was already gone midnight so i didnt bother phoning for a fresh one or a refund we just wanted to eat) , he also nearly took our door off the hinges when he knocked, and then proceeded to swear loudly enough for me to hear inside the home as my daughter of 15 was collecting the food from the floor. Yes i get it it was raining. But is the rain my fault? No. Did my daughter need to hear that unecessary language from your staff? No. Maybe your driver needs some customer training and some Manners when serving the general public i have never ever come across a driver so rude in my life! He practically said theres your Fckin food to her!

Great food but only take cash which is a hassle

Always enjoyed eating here but recently the customer service has been shocking. Love the taste for the price so will not order anyone else. Second time that me and my partner ordered at a time they were open and because their "drivers" finish at 11 o clock' they force us to collect it. I don't know in what business no matter if they order 5 minutes till you close or 15 you deliver that order. That's life. If I'm paying with it delivered I want it delivered! Your driver will have to stay until it is done! Where I work I can't just suddenly drop a plate or glass simply because it's at o'clock and I've finished! Disgraceful! Attitude is poor. Such a shame as I enjoy the food a lot. Just wish the customer service was as good! If it happens again i will have to look for other places to eat Chinese food

THE FOODS ABSOLUTELY BANGING HERE! 10/10

Always had good food from China Garden

Lovely food. And fast delivery my go to takeaway

Took 3 hours to get a delivery, when the food finally arrived it wasn't even hot. After 2 hours the food still hadn't arrived and was told would be 30 minutes, after 3 hours still no delivery and when called to chase it up again the manager was rude and didn't want to help and just said they waiting for a driver. Rubbish customer service, wouldn't recommend.

I ordered from this Chinese through JustEat and ordered for it to be delivered at 5pm, when time came up it was for 6.40pm so rang restaurant to bring time forward and they were really rude telling me to choose right time next time before slamming phone down, needless to say will not be using them again

Took 2 hours from ordering to eating. Yes it’s a Saturday but really?! Once here food not too bad apart from Lemon Chicken was rather soggy, not particularly Lemony considering all the pieces of Lemon in the tub. Maybe just caught them on a bad day?

Food was nice but waited nearly 2 hours for food with no apology from the manager. Absolutely shocking managerial skills and no refund offered or discount on next order for the rediculous waiting time

Never order again the food is like slop and curry is like soup don't waste your money on this place and when you ring up they say will talk to chef and no I send you another order or money back and just put phone down don't even waste your money on the call and order somewere else

Was rude on phone and hung up on me

Absolutely delicious food really really enjoyable will most certainly be visiting again we had a lovely takeaway at home and we absolutely loved all of it x

Over priced cash only.. discusting food.

We were very pleased with our food last time but today much of it was inedible . The fried rice was over cooked and greasy , the pancake rolls were just smoked ham and bean shoots and the beef in the chow mein was very tough and inedible .Most of the food was returned and after a long phone call and a robust discussion £5 was reluctantly refunded . Not a good experience !

Nice food, does Just Eat delivery too.

Updated review: Still good food and delivery times have improved recently. Everything as expected.

The food was nice and tasted good. The food was 15 minutes late but was hot and the delivery driver was apologetic and polite. Would order from here again

We had meal from China gardens tonight , it was so nice best we have had in a long time, will definitely be using them again we enjoyed it so much, delicious.

The delivery driver was extremely rude to my partner's sister. He shouted at her and raised his hands aggressively all because it took her 30 seconds to answer the door, saying she was costing him money. We phoned up to tell them and they told us there was nothing they could do about it. They then phoned me back to tell me I was a liar and that the delivery man hadn't done any of those things. We won't be using this Chinese again and would recommend that others don't either. The food isn't even good at all!

Always use China Garden for our Chinese food. Never been disappointed in all the years we have known them. Food always piping hot and full of flavour. Great selection and cooked to perfection every time. Friendly staff and happy to help. Delivery drivers are on time and always happy. Thoroughly enjoy China Garden.

Top quality chinese takeaway, in my opinion the best in gorleston with quality and quantity! i would recommend the beef curry!

Good food, the timing of delivery could have been improved upon as well as the telephone manners of the reception, as they did not say goodbye at the end of the call when I phoned.

We were holidaying nearby and ordered through Just Eat. The food was prompt and probably the best Chinese food we’ve ever had. Soooo tasty! Perfect! The delivery driver was excellent in finding us too.

Very friendly staff good menu and the food was delicious

This place used to be good however since Xmas have had X2 takeaways both were more than horrible!!!! and have zero flavour ordered a Thai green curry took 1 taste bloody inedible!! No flavour thick like gravy!! Soo disappointed the squid was horrible and like rubber my partner's black bean sauce dish was also disgusting. If ya want tasty then don't order here.... Ull very disappointed and out if pocket... Trust me.. my out of the packet cous cous tasted a million times better than the dog food this place serves. Still hungry and my partner on mother's Day is asking if I want him to make some scrambled egg as the takeaway was more than bad.!!!!

Excellent food, never had a bad one. Usually have a Chinese Curry. Only one thing that gets under my skin is the owner who like many Chinese take away only trades in cash (and we all know why that is) so make sure you have lots of cash when you visit, and prices rise fairly regularly, oh yes his customer service skills and sense of humour could do with up dating. Other than that its fantastic.

Great food, and very fast delivery! Will order again!

Great food very friendly staff, service.

I don't live far away from China garden and have always advocated their food especially the Thai menu.... Tonight I was left extremely disappointed as I'd ordered a large Thai green curry at £8.80 and only got a small but was still charged for a large!! The Thai chow main and Thai fried rice were NOT Thai at all the were so sweet and stodgie like Chinese food made the dishes not edible together was expecting a great Thai menu and got the stodgie sweet taste of Chinese Very very disappointed in my local take away.

Great food here everything always seems nice and tasty.

I was a regular until i realised that i was being charged for delivery for orders plus £25 and i was getting service charges too. I was disgusted so rung and queried this. For me literally using them probabally more than 8 times a month, they didnt seem that bothered that i was annoyed. So i will not use again. Absoloutely shocking customer service. Shocking attitude. And dont in my opinion believe they look after their regular customers. I prefer my other chinese takeaway however they arent on just eat and didnt have the cash. Will never ever use them again. Their loss not mine.

Although our food arrived earlier than we requested this was forgotten when we started to eat it. It arrived piping hot and was the best Chinese food we had tasted in many years. Would not hesitate to order again and it deserves 5 stars.

Good food, no problems with the service or the atmosphere, it just feels a bit expensive for the decor and cafe feel.

Really nice food use this one all the time if I want a chinese

Ordered from here, checked my order before I sent it (I have made a mistake in the past when ordering elsewhere) they sent me the wrong items and refused to rectify it, and told me I was wrong, food was fine, but not what I ordered, clearly a language barrier somewhere because that was terrible customer service.

Amazing food. I'm allergic to eggs so when my girlfriend orders chicken fried rice with no egg and we get the egg it's a bit annoying hence the 4 not 5 stars. Their black bean sauce was amazing!!

Always good food and just around the corner.

Ordered from here this evening & my son has just spent the night throwing up!! Wouldn't even rate it with 1 star!!!

The best Singapore chow mein in the district

We went in and i got chicken curry and boiled rice, i think a chicken must have ran through it although there wasnt much evidence that it was ever there

Lovely take away and food friendly staff always order from here

Order was expensive! delivery took over an hour and a half to arrive!

After waiting 45 minutes for our takeaway. Myself and my partner received our beef chow mein, chicken show mein, Cantonese crispy beef, and bbq ribs. 1. The beef chow mein was covered in a sauce that resembled wet slimy snot.2. The crispy beef was dry, with the sauce sat in the bottom of the container. (At least stir the pot before dishing it up.)3. The ribs may well have been chargrilled. Dry and crusty. Then calling the restaurant, the man continues to question me on the fact we have eaten some of the food. (Which needs to be done to know the food was bad.) he then says they are busy and they have a new chef. An excuse is not the way to go. He then sends the driver to collect the beef chow mein and crispy beef dishes. The driver says that he will return with a refund. An hour later nothing. So I ring the restaurant and he says to ring just eat. So I do and the woman who was lovely issues me a refund of both the dishes.Will not be returning to this “restaurant”.

We were recommended this take away by one of the life guards in Yarmouth. We stopped in on the way back from Lowestoft about 5:30 so I cannot comment on the delivery service. Food was really good, ready about 15 minutes after the order was placed. My daughter, who is very particular about her food, really enjoyed her chicken chow mein so a good choice. As all the other reviews have said, don't go by the exterior of the place, or you will miss out on a really great chinese meal. I got parked straight outside, but I can see why parking could be a bit of a nightmare. All in all a great chinese take away if you are in the Yarmouth area.

Easily one of the best quality chinese take-aways in the area. The food maintains a high standard, the wait time is average, pricing is standard for the area. Stands out amongst the others for the standard of food they deliver - truly enjoyable meal and will be using this as our chinese to frequent.

Beef was off so only ate the rice and sauce, would not use them again

Delivery was 40 min late, do not order from this website if you want it in time. Awful costumer service aswell. Avoid them !

Too expensive. Wouldn't mind so much if the quality of the food was worth it, it's not. Batter on chicken balls was wet, stodgey and grey inside. Curry was mostly bean sprouts and really watery. Gave them a second chance and ordered again but was still a big let down.

Olviden lo fuera de las instalaciones. Tienen un emu variada a buen precio. Mi favorito es el 'Casa Chow Mein".La única desventaja es que el sólo aceptan el pago en efectivo. Pensarías que por ahora, hubieran capturado con tarjetas de débito.El aparcamiento puede ser una pesadilla y puede que tenga que aparcar en un lado de la calle y a pie del edificio.En general es un gran China llevar.

Awful Chinese. Chicken balls are supposed to be pieces of chicken not bits of chicken with bones in. Husband broke tooth on one.

Great tskeaway, consistently good tasty Chinese food at a good price. Quick friendly service . The place does not look attractive but you can phone your order in. Delivery is always within an hour and usually there is a surprise dish included for free!
