China Palace in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

I ordered two DISHES for home. I thought that since it is a DISH and costs £11 per portion I would get it with rice but it didn't. The food was mixed up, I ordered a dish of Honk Kong style prawns and got something that reminded me of old chicken! the chicken balls were old and just not good. This is so bad and such a scam that they should close it down!!!

I use this place roughly once a month when we come down to visit my mother who lives in St Agnes village. Going by the majority of the reviews I must just be lucky when I visit, as my food has always been alright, and I’ve been using it for year. It is expensive compared to Wales , but I think that’s because there are so few takeaways in the village, that they can pretty much get away with the prices We only ever order salt and pepper ribs , which tbh are pretty hard to mess up,and the house special fried rice which they make gluten free by leaving out the soy sauce etc, I think I’ve only had one bad meal there and that was ages ago .

Disgusting food and even worse staff. This food was not cooked fresh as stayed. Everything is dry and over done. £63 for a meal which we can’t even eat 😂 I will be sharing all over social media after the phone call to the manager who doesn’t seem to care. Trading standards defo need calling on this pathetic excuse of a restaurant 🤢

we're only staying in the area and gave poor delivery instructions, as well as an outdated telephone number (now fixed). China Palace were brilliant, and made a couple of attempts to find us. Once arrived, the food was delicious, warm and left us with full bellies. If we're ever in the area again, we'll definitely be ordering 😊

Just had a takeaway delivered to st Agnes holiday park. Superb. Right up there with one of the best Chinese meals I’ve had. If you like your curry sauce, you’re in for a treat. Don’t hesitate to to order from here.

Read some of the 1 star reviews and was apprehensive, but ordered anyway. There was a delay in getting our order (just over an hour) but the staff were very apologetic, and despite the wait it still arrived hot and crispy. Very tasty, would recommend.

We have ordered for collection a few times and haven’t been disappointed! Generally quick, hot and flavoursome everytime

Special chow mein was ok but lack noodles to which I'm ust to and only one king prawn which was disappointing apart from that we had spicy ribs was not bad spicy chicken wass not bad spicy king prawns especially I really enjoyed ,I'd order again fast delivery nice polite driver spitfire park camping

We ordered from here whilst on holiday at haven, we chose this place as they had a 5 star food rating. really impressed with the service and food was great, they even delivered straight to our accommodation front door, highly recommended thank you.

Got a takeaway. Lovely beef in black bean and chicken balls.

Have been there for take away. Food was prepared very fast. It was tasty and delicious and new staff was kind. I recommend it.

quite concerning it takes such a painfully long time to deliver food that is a 10 minute car journey away.

Slightly expensive but nice food

We’d read so many bad reviews so we’re very hesitant in ordering. But we’ve recently ordered TWO LARGE takeaways and we can honestly say we couldn’t fault it! Both really hot on collection, generous portions and the prices around average for what you’d usually pay for a takeaway!

GAVE A 2ND CHANCE, BIG MISTAKE!! So we gave this another try, as locals!! Doesn't help we have so few takeaways locally, but seriously should we accept such poor food. Satay sauce was mega sweet. I'm sure for those eating meat/fish dishes this would have been acceptable, but the sauce was totally overpowering, massively sweet and unpalatable. Sauce ruined everything. Honestly, order food from Redruth - rather than accept paying £40+ for sub standard food. Just trying to advise holiday makers if they have any serious expectations. Ps. Complained to China Palace and was told they'd refund the sauces. Informed them to keep refund but I'd be posting a bad review. Rather be honest.

Lovely food, never had a reason to complain after moving nearby 10 years ago.

Absolutely delicious! Really yummy food. Thank you!

Food was poor quality compared to others. Portion sizes small and about 50% more expensive than my local Chinese restaurant.

Went in bin absolutely disgusting

Used this takeaway (not a restaurant) while on holiday. I ordered six items from the menu and only got five. One of the five I did get was wrong. The four dishes that were correct were very tasty. So give it try, but check your food before you drive away.

Really lovely food and speedy delivery. Unfortunately, one item was missing from our order but the fact the portions of other food was huge meant it didn’t matter. Would order again from here.

If I could give zero I would, waiting in here for an order we placed 1930, asked for 2015 but still waiting at 20:45, if you’d like to eat, go elsewhere.

ive ordered a few times now and delivery has got worse, told 45-60 min. delivery took 2 hours. if its going to be 2 hours say that, then i could have ordered else where. ive had bits missed off in the past, when i said about on next order. they didnt seam to be that bothered. if this continues then i will not be using.

had forgotten part of my order however offered free delivery and consistent apologies alongside a load of free food, food was wonderful and friendly staff.

excellent food, chicken balls are great.

Thank you! We all really enjoyed our meal whilst on holiday. My children had sweet and sour chicken and it was generous and fresh chicken.I had the beef chow mein, which was delicious and fresh steak used. Thank you. Due to safety Covid health precautions which are good, it was take away only so I’m not rating atmosphere.

It’s a shame as we have eaten here before and it was great but this time All of our food tasted fishy so assume it wasn’t fresh and been sat somewhere for a while .

It states every where. Restaurant & takeaway its not a restaurant. The restaurant was dirty &!unkept with used disposable eating bowls just left on the table. The entrance is kept lock with a full height plastic door/ screen. Obviously left over from COVID days. The member of chinese staff just ignored me and a European member of staff came to serve me. Id just arrived. He was far from polite and I explained i didnt know what I want to order as i had not had chance to look at menu. When he returned. And asked for my order. I requested due to a disablity/ bad back and in pain would it be possible to sit while my order was processed I got a rude NO with no explanation. I wasnt even offer a chair out side the restaurant area. So they left me no option but not to order and leave. The gentleman whonwas there when I arrived also left due to staff rudeness Very poor service and consideration to some one with disabilities . .

It states its a restaurant & take away. Its NOT. its just a take away the restaurant area is messy and used food containers just left on the table. I have problem with my back. The staff member who came to the plastic LOCKED partition wasnt very polite but did offer me more time to look at menu. Came back. Due to a back problem and being In a lot of pain I asked could i sit down while they prepared my order to which the reply was just NO. SO i didnt order as pain was too much to stand for 20 mins.

Awful. Chow mein flavourless and dry as a bone. Mixed platter for 2, all dry, over cooked and tastless. Crispy beef in honey and seasame, beef was so overcooked in could barely be snapped let alone eaten. Sauce was nice but i can mix honey and seasame oil at home. Curry sauce was just spicy gravy im sure, iv never tasted such a curryless curry saice. Only think that was somewhat alright was the salt and pepper chips.

Soggy, weird taste - tasted how I imagine a 2 week old sweaty sock to taste

Given stories about internal employment issues which are not my problem. Food late. Toddler grumpy and late for bed. Meant to be a treat not a f kin chore. restaurant marked as delivered i guess. Bunch of c u № ÷ s over 2 and 1/2 hrs to deliver. And hung up on. Still no food.

Excellent food, great delivery. Will use again.

Order still not arrived , over 1 hour late. The restaurant have informed just eat that it has been delivered on time, I expect to protect their reputation. After speaking to the restaurant multiple times , it’s always just around the corner!

Excellent food and service with a smile from delivery guy.

great food. delivered in good time

Amazing food, really fast delivery

Was good, but 30 min late on delivery

Almost an hour late for food even though it was pre ordered for delivery to be 5:15 the day before. Plenty of time to prepare, I understand it's Christmas eve but even after ringing and saying he was on his way, it still took over 20 minutes for it to be delivered after that phone call! This is a joke, it's not like I live far!

Delivery was good and intimate but food was all stone cold apart from the curry sauce not worth the £54 in my opinion

Absolutely useless from service to food quality. Only Chinese around but needs to be taken over or closed down. I am serious

The mains were absolutely delicious loads of meat and fish very tasty

Had a take away from them last night,I had chips that looked like yesterday's chips refried but undercooked,chicken fried rice that was dry bland and undercooked rice,curry sauce from a packet.would not recommend

Food extremely poor quality and overcooked. Very overpriced for what was received. Disappointed.

Probably the worst Chinese I have had. I had the house curry and the pork and the beef where inedible they were so tuff you couldn't eat it. Only one prawn and I have never had chicken with that texture. Burnt rice. Most restaurants dont charge for prawn crackers but be prepared to pay £4.40 for old stale crackers. Avoid if you want value for money and not reheated crap.

The whole process from ordering to delivery was first class.The food tasted excellent,first class,and large portions as well,neither my wife or myself could eat it all.Delivery was fist class as well.Highly recommend and would certainly use again.The food was really tasty .If you enjoy Chinese food then this is a must .

Delivery was 40 minutes late & only 1 item from a £125 order was delivered & cold, we then waited another 20mins for the rest of our order that arrived cold and another item missing, the final item arrived 1 hour 45 minutes after our order time and the only warm that was delivered. Would never order from here again.

Me and my family put in a big order, order was confirmed by the shop and got given a time of delivery. 45 minutes past the delivery time so we drove to the shop to find out they had not even made the food. Would give less than 1 star if i could as we were left waiting about for hours. Would not recommend

I was really pleased that the food was delivered early, as I was really hungry. I had stated that I would like my food as soon as possible, so I was very impressed. Meal was lovely and hot, and very tasty. Thanks!

Stayed in St Agnes for a week and at the end of our stay we really fancied a Chinese takeaway. Didn’t think to check the reviews before ordering from here. I collected the food and the only real positive was that it was hot. The three main dishes we ordered weren’t up to much and one was particularly poor. The crispy beef was just soggy and tasted like it had been deep-fried alongside some seafood or something. Other positive was prawn crackers were included. Unfortunately I would not likely order from there again.

The food when it eventually arrived was ok. I’m not sure if I’d use this one again

Worst Chinese takeaway I’ve ever had. Crispy beef was actually slimy & tasted fishy. Other dishes mushy & flavourless.

Lovely food will definitely be ordering from here again

Excellent food, great service. Highly recommended.

Service was fantastic. Driver was really friendly and polite. Food delivered very quickly and tasted amazing. Will definitely order from them again. Highly recommended.

Good order, great food, speedy delivery and friendly delivery service.

Prawn crackers were stale. Good portion sizes but to be fair for the money you pay you'd expect decent sized portions of food

Gone down hill rapidly. Used to be decent food. Not anymore! Couldn’t eat the beef as it was so dry I couldn’t swallow it. Hardly any sauce. Even the rice was tough and hard to swallow. 2 prawns in the entire special fried rice. Most of it went in the bin and cooked another meal

Lovely food and lots of it. Thanks!!

Special chow mein, special curry and chicken curry was lovely. But the spring roll was not very nice at all. I couldn't eat it, it had an awful after taste

Highly recommended, delivery was on time, food was piping hot and absolutely delicious. Even better we were on a camp site and the delivery driver called to say she had arrived. Couldn't be more pleased

Had Chicken & Duck on Fried Rice with BBQ Sauce, but it had no flavour at all. 3 stars and not lower, only because portion size was okay and the staff were friendly and kind.

Quick service and kind staff, bu the food had no flavour at all

Delivered early, nice and hot. Top quality Chinese food worth paying that little bit extra for. However, Satay a little unusual

Arrived on time by a friendly delivery driver. The food was excellent.

Expensive would not order again

What kind of madman but pineapple in satay curry? I have had satay all over the world and this was not satay, I was refused my money back. Worst chines I've ever had, my kid had bbq chicken, was nothing like bbq and my boy had a tummy ache for 3 days after. I would rather starve than eat here again.

On holiday and this was the first Chinese we had seen, food was very nice and didn't have to wait too long.

All aspects of The set meal were nice except for the spring rolls - very soggy and the filling did not taste good

Ordered this evening. Pork like leather and cold. Chicken and mushroom tasted awful, prawn crackers dry and tasteless. 1hr 40 minute wait Very expensive 99% in bin !!!!

We expected the delivery to be late as it’s New Years Eve, it arrived with 5-10 mins of the allocated time

Beef tasted too much like fish Food was overpriced

Gorgeous food, great quality, good portions, perfect Chinese.

Disgusting. Tasteless food. The pork element was all fat. Far too expensive. Will Never order from here again

Great service and delicious meal once again !

Amazing food and piping hot on delivery. Will use again 🙂

Not enough peas. But everything else was great. Thanks. They had to do a spring roll on the bake off, did you see that? There was no bubbles on your spring rolls so that's how I know they are good spring rolls.

Fantastic food which arrived hot, fresh and super tasty. Definitely my new favourite takeout

Don’t even know where to start. The blandest food ever. Sweet and sour sauce was cold and jelly like. The prawn crackers were on another level… CHEWY! Like they had been aired out for a few days. Chips were overcooked and dry chicken. Really disappointed and can’t condone the price for it either. Such a shame :(. Something needs to be done for improvement! Oh and my can of coke was missing. The best part of this experience was the lovely delivery driver!

Honestly just not very tasty food. Chips were very dry. Crispy beef was horrible, did not taste of beef and the batter had the texture of sand. Meat in chow Mein was chewy and bland. Curry sauce was nice.

Friendly and helpful team thank you!

Just eat predicted the food would arrive in about an hour but it actually turned up in about 25mins. Good quality Chinese takeaway, very happy.

Once again lovely meal and piping hot 💛

Spring roll was really bad no flavour at all really didn’t enjoy at all the only thing that was ok was the curry

Managed to find us on a campsite without signal - thank you!

Food is brilliant, delivery was prompt even though we were in a valley resort and very hard to find. The only place I will ever order while staying near perranporth

Good quality food, delivered to our holiday park, if I'm ever near by again I'd definitely order from here

Grim is a fair description for the insipid mush this place churns out - before you go in just have a look at the pictures of their dishes on display in the taxi office window below the restaurant - I promise you you won’t go in! Walk across the road to the Taphouse or Peterville inn - if you don’t you’ll wish you had!

Food was very bland, probably the most tasteless Chinese I’ve ever had

Nice food and always friendly staff but always forgetting to give me my whole order quite regularly now.

Did not recive everything I ordered and payed for. this seems to be every order I place now.

Went in for a take out meal this evening. Food was OK but service leaves a lot to be desired! Surly, unsmiling, unfriendly man who took my order and barely said 2 words to me the whole time. Definitely shouldn’t be working in any kind of hospitality!! The clue is in that word..!

The weird little place whose customer service puts the ‘aggy’ in St Agnes.

App says it’s delivered but it hasn’t arrived.

The food was really good but unfortunately they forgot my crispy seaweed! D:

The worst Chinese I've ever had. So expensive, this should cost half the price as the chef clearly can't cook proper Chinese food! £70 straight in the bin literally! Chicken balls were chewy, like it had been reheated, sesame prawn toast had no prawn, satay Chicken chewy, sweet and sour hong Kong style was literally Chicken and the usual sweet and sour dipping sauce chucked on top, absolutely gross and gloopy, black bean sauce was also gloopy. Best thing was we got free prawn crackers BUT they were stale! The only things that enjoyed anything were the dogs! Recommend setting up in this sector instead.

The food was amazing. And the staff delivering it was so kind. And found us with ease

Before ordering estimate said 30-45 mins. After ordering it said 1 hour, but it actually came in 15 minutes. Food was very tasty and piping hot on arrival. The only criticism is the price of some of the items and the fact there was no standard egg fried rice on the menu.

Missing a few bits from the order

Great food - ordered a set meal for 4 and it was more than enough for 5 people even! Very tasty and prompt delivery. Expensive though compared with back home.
