Beautiful food. Always get the chicken balls anyway but decided to try the char siu chow mein this time instead of my usual prawn or chicken one and pleased I did. Plenty char siu in it and beautifully made. Would definitely have this one again. ❤️😋⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The food we received was all very soggy the sauce was far to watery and there was hardly any chicken it was almost only chips. Would never recommend this place and when I tried to ring up to complain they would not pick up time after time

First time ordering and this is definitely our new Chinese. Food was divine, and as someone whos really picky with meat, it was all perfect. Would love it if house special salt and chilli could be added to the menu though! They even included a free chicken curry which is unheard of these days. Thank you!

Cannot fault it anywhere. Everything was cooked perfectly and the flavours were so delicious. Every single item felt like it had been really laboured over. Huge portions on each item as well. Delivered dot on time. Something big to mention is a free chicken curry portion was included in our order simply due to us being a returning customer. Phenomenal customer service. Big thank you. We will keep coming back for all of the above.

Ordered for collection first time since it was taken over. We've used this for years ordered a house szechuan and a fake chicken szechuan. When it came it was pork, visible bits of fat. I rang and they denied it- said it was battered fake chicked. There was no batter. They asked for a photograph- sent one and they changed their story to only one battered. I stayed calm, they were incredibly rude. Even hung up on me at one point. The meat meal had very little taste and prawn crackers tasted dirty

Avoid the place like the plague. Spent about £19 on a munchie box had 3x as much from other places for £12. Found a hair in it straight away. Barely any chicken at all about 5 tiny bits, about 4 ribs all horrible full of gristle. Few tiny spring rolls out of a packet and the rest just a pile of dry chips. Proper rip off n took ages to come.

Absolutely shocking. Delivered food that was not suitable for human consumption , I ordered house special chow mein and the chow Sui pork was off. It was disgusting. I rang to explain and the person on the other end was very rude. I asked for a refund as the food was inedible. After 5 minutes on the phone I demanded a refund. They sent a child who appeared to be around 10 years old to my door. I gave her the food back and she refused to give my money back. The driver sat in the car until I asked him to come to my door. I explained I had ate a few mouthfuls of the food as how else would I have known the pork was off. They took the food back and refused to give a refund. Now out of pocket. Absolutely disgraceful!!

Refused to deliver our food as there are road works on the route they wanted to come My husband has had to drive down. Which is literally an extra minute on drive time. They rang to notify us 2hrs after placing the order. God knows what it's going to taste like or even edible when we get it. Because the driver says he has tried and tried and tried to deliver it. So I'm expecting it to be cold when it comes. Will update once eaten.

Absolutely appalled not only by China Inn but by Just Eat as well. We had a terrible meal delivered, ribs had no meat - pure fat, the chips were hard and chicken was rubbery. This prompted us to request a refund, which neither parties wanted to give us. China Inn wanted to check our bins to see the food, and Just Eat were willing to give a meagre £10 voucher max! China Inn said they would then give us a refund after a long argument and would call Just Eat. They then called Just Eat to say they were not going to refund us for the meal. And Just Eat told us just to leave a review so that this dire restaurant may improve. Do not order from this restaurant. Truly awful!

Updated review ..Used this takeaway for 20 yrs.The food has been very very nice(until about 3yrs ago).. Looks like recent change of staff late 2023. They have modernised it with new menu. Some items are great (eg pizza box) . Just had special fried rice and 9" box which was nice and the gravy is very nice. Also the garlic mushrooms are nice. They make my favourite Peking sauce(nobody else comes close)Dropped 1 star 3 years ago but now back to 5 stars. Staff very friendly and give free gifts all the time. My new favourite meal is the salt and pepper box. And they make the best prawn crackers.
