This is Chinese food at its absolute worst! Leather beef in a curry, the chicken in the sweet and sour could line a pair of shoes, their overpriced rice could oil the underside of a truck and their noodles were drier than a camels tongue in the Sahara. God forgive me for being lazy and not making our usual pilgrimage to Fei Wong in Galashiels. Overpriced rubbish that ended up in the bin!!!

We rang through a large order for nine people for delivery to Stitchil. Excellent service over the phone, really helpful and friendly lady who took our order. 45 minutes was the estimate for delivery and it arrived on time. Important bit is the food! This was lovely, the only negative was that we couldn't finish it all as very generous portions🙂

I didnt know what to order so asked for there most popular dishes....I got garlic, chilli chicken and rice. Sadly very very little flavour and I threw half in the bin. Prawn crackers not great. However, was served by a nice helpful lady. Pity.

Haven't had Chinese food for ages so finally ordered today. Live out aways from Kelso so asked for a delivery. When I ordered, I was told a half hour to three quarters which I thought was right. Delivery man arrived, no problem. The food was hot, the price was right , the food was delicious. And mainly , the delivery man was courteous , efficient and very pleasant. A lovely front man for this business. Will be ordering again. Thank you !!

I could easily eat Chinese food every night given the chance , it is my favourite food and I never throw any away , until I went here.I had originally planned to go to the other Chinese over the road but it was shut but was pleased to see that this place was open.maybe I was just unlucky with my choice of salt and chilli shredded beef with salt and pepper chips as there are plenty of decent reviews on here , but the food was so dry and tasteless it was almost inedible, thank God this was only ever going to be a one off visit as it was so bad to put you off Chinese food for life.

We had a takeaway from here last night... pancake roll, lemon chicken and special chop suey.The pancake roll was disgusting and completely inedible. It was soggy, full of oil and uncooked inside and went straight into the bin.The lemon chicken was also inedible as it was so tough that it was impossible to even try to chew it. It had obviously been overdone when it was reheated in their microwave.The chop suey wasn’t up to much either and was also binned.A complete wast of money. We will not be back. Unfortunately Kwan’s is even worse.

I like the old lady that answers the phones. She always chats to me, I think she must be lonely. I eat here every Friday and she always includes extra pineapple in my dish for me. Even if the dish itself does not contain pineapple.

Ordered duck in plum sauce, checked it was gluten free and no pineapple. Collected order it was full of pineapple. Phone up, explained this was full of pineapple, offered a replacement but would have to go and get it or could be delivered after an hour. Second one arrived with loads of pineapple. Received a refund. Will not return.

There are 2 Chinese takeaways in Kelso and whilst both are said to be good, a couple of negative trip advisor reviews for the other one found us using this one instead. The food was delicious and reasonably priced and I'd definitely go back. The spicy spare ribs were a real hit !

Ordered a lemon chicken and duck in plum sauce, order arrived and wrong sauce was on each dish. Phoned down guy came to change one of the dishes after being told both were wrong. Then tasted both of them and said we were wrong and that the plum sauce is made with pineapple in it and the lemon has lemon in it. Open the dishes up and no lemon slices in the so called "lemon" chicken. Also since when is lemon chicken sauce orange in colour and plum sauce is yellow?

Maybe was too early in evening and it was quiet but felt both rice and noodles not freshly cooked. Reasonable taste in mains but could have been better. Quick and friendly place though.

Human hairs in my takeaway - disgusting. I telephoned and was asked to return the dish in order to get a credit. I do not need £7 that badly that I waste my fuel and time to drive back. Hygiene - extremely poor. Customer care - Non existent. WILL NEVER EVER USE AGAIN

Had a takeaway this evening. I ordered a portion of boiled rice and a portion of shredded beef in honey & chilli sauce but not sure what I recieved. The meat tastes more like chicken and tasted burnt. The food tasted so bad I put in into the bin. Had I lived near I'd have taken it back. Definitely wouldn't recommend. The food was S**t
