Ordered here a few times never had any problems and always great food until last night.... So we pre ordered our food as it was mother's day expecting to be busy with that in mind we did have an item not turn up/missing but they did send it straight away. Literally 1 minute before the driver returned with our missing item I was enjoying my meal and tucked into my last chicken ball, instantly I knew something was wrong it wasn't chicken it was a king prawn ball. I am allergic to prawns and suffer from anaphylactic allergic reaction. I immediately spat it out and rinsed my mouth I was ok thankfully but dinner was ruined and tainted. We phoned up and explained what happened they offered free food next order but there was no way this was happening. We went to the shop in person to ask why this had happened to be met with conflict and excuses. Passing the blame to a chef who wasn't even there, questioned about the prawn even though we had it in hand to show them. The owners had no remorse to what happened and offered £5 to compensate. What a joke. Until I said do you not care they gave us £20 to walk away. It's clearly obvious they are cooking chicken and prawn together with cross contamination at play. If you suffer from allergies or other dietary requirements be aware ordering food from here.

This used to be the go to takeaway now I can easily say it is the worst, it’s safe to say I wasted my money. The food was absolutely disgusting. Not at all nice. I have attached the chicken balls for you to see. We wasn’t even able to eat it. Have definitely lost us as customers we will not be returning. Not sure why it is has gone so downhill but very disappointed tonight. This isn’t the first time we have tried this either we understand sometimes you have a bad night but after trying multiple times and it’s just getting worse I think it’s safe to say it’s across the board and we are done.

Ordered 3 times from here and the 3rd time was terrible. As a mothers day treat we pre ordered a delivery to arrive at 17.20pm at 17.50 it finally arrived, but was missing the salt and chilli chips so we called and they sent the missing item. Whilst waiting for our missing chips my husband was eating the sweet and sour chicken balls but had to quickly spit them out as it was a king prawn ball! My husband is very allergic to shellfish so we was quite worried about this and about how this cross contamination could happen! We called straight away to inform them but they was quite rude on the phone and didn't seem interested and told us to call back the next day. The next day we decided to visit them in person to talk about what happened and was met with very rude customer service saying there is no way that could happen, luckily I still had the prawn ball and showed them but they still didn't seem bothered that my husband could of ended up in hospital due to this mistake. The man/chef said what do you want me to do about it in a very rude manner!and offered us a measly refund for the chicken balls, we refused and got a full refund as the meal was now ruined due to the shellfish.. Will never return!

I have been coming here for a long while, and it saddens me to have to write a negative review, but I am very disappointed. First of all, I love the food, easily 5 stars. But the service in the last several months has been atrocious. There has been a couple of times where i've ordered, most recently this weekend, at a reasonable time, and heard nothing for 1hr45 mins. I tried calling several times throughout this and my calls went unanswered, went to voicemail many times. Only when I called from another phone did they answer right away, and advise it could be up to further hour for my food. I have seen some of the owner's hostile comments towards people after they remarked on long wait times, but i think it's worth highlighting the poor communication from the restaurant. If you update your website/customer to say how long it will be, that will prevent so many orders and give customers the satisfaction of what to expect. I'm not sure if more staff/drivers are needed too, but I want this restaurant to succeed and am very let down by the poor experience. I honestly don't think my order was ever going to come on this occasion, so I cancelled it and went elsewhere. Not sure if/when I'll be back, but I really hope the owner takes my constructive criticisms on board as a loyal customer, to help them get back to their best.

Non existent customer service, waited over three hours for delivery after being told 40-50 minutes, they didn't really seemed bothered about the delay just stating"we're very busy" despite us ordering a short time after opening. I'd use somewhere else that has more concern for customers and realise a three hour wait is not acceptable.-(added after the condescending reply I've received) we ordered on Saturday at around 6pm received our food just after 9pm. I have nothing to gain from making things up, I want to use local businesses, but as I can see from your reply your not really fussed. Similar attitude to when we called up to ask why it was taking so long on Saturday .

Ordered at 6.10pm on the website. Stated an estimated delivery time of 40-60 mins. I called at 7.35pm (1 hour 20 mins after ordering) and was told it was suddenly very busy. I asked how long and was told it would be another 30-60 mins! And there were 4 orders Infront of mine. I called back at 8.40pm and was told that it would be another 15-30 mins!! That it was ready and they were cooking other orders to leave with the same delivery driver. It arrived at 9.10pm. 3 HOURS after ordering. The food was fine but I will NEVER use this business again. The person on the phone kept repeating that the website only gives an estimated time. But when you're estimating 40-60 mins, 3 HOURS is not acceptable. Either update the app or don't keep taking orders if you can't keep up. It's greedy. No one wants to wait 3 hours for a takeaway. But you had my money. If you had given an honest estimate I wouldn't have ordered. No customer service. No update. No gesture of goodwill or attempt to make it right. You have my details on my account. I called twice and I said I wasn't happy at all. DO NOT USE if you want your food on time.

The food is very good. Can't say I've ever had a bad meal from this place over the last 4 years. However, they have, in the last 6 month or so, become very slow and poor around times given on the service. By way of an example. This weekend was told a pick-up time for the take away. Only to be told, not for the first time, it wasn't ready when I arrived. Then, I had to wait another 30 minutes AFTER I turned up before it was. It's a shame as the food is great. But the service sort of ruins the experience.

Ordered online and requested in 2 separate boxes to swap the sweet and sour sauce for a satay sauce. Website advised delivery at 9, called at 21:20 to b advised it would be another 10 mins. Food arrived but driver forgot the drink, again no problem, then realised that they had sent sweet and sour sauce not satay. Called again and customer service was not as good. Was advised they can't swap and there was an additional fee, I asked what the fee was to be told the driver was already on his way bsck to us and insinuate there was nothing they could do. I hung up. Ate our meal but was not as good as normal and husbands meal was full of pineapple and not advertised on the menu so he couldn't eat his. All in all a pretty disappointing experience and sadly we won't return

I've been using Chinese 2 night for a good few month's now, and all I can really say is that I absolutely love it there. The food is always 10 out of 10 and is always correct. Had a few delays with delivery, but with how busy they are, you can kinda of expect it and equally, the food has never been cold when there's been delays with delivery. Would highly recommend it to anyone!

To start with they made a mistake on a delivery order, then had the audacity to ask us to pick up the missing food. The food we did get was terrible! Over cooked rice , seriously it’s a chinese and they can’t cook rice! The chow main was burnt, and the sweet and sour was way to sweet. Only used it as out normal one is closed. Will never order from here again!

Disappointing customer service. Refused our owed Fried rice because they hadn’t made a note of it (even when we gave them receipt details again) Been return customers for a long time!. - further to your rude response (but thank you for confining your customer service etiquette for others to see) the original order was back at the end of No ember - a call was made immediately to say we hadn’t received the rice (I don’t know where you’re getting the crispy duck information). When we spoke to you last night we confirmed the receipt date because we had kept it in light of your forgotten rice. Our last order was made 6 weeks ago not 3 months ago. - we don’t order takeaways in December as much due to having other expenses to worry about, but we will not be ordering from yourselves again. Just to clarify the alarm bells that should be going off - a repeat customer that usually regularly spends over £30 a time with you, each time, is being lost due to a dish that costs you under £1 to make. I’m assuming your reply was written by the same member of staff that our original complaint was about.

Wanted to find a new Chinese as our one of 6 years is now under new ownership and not what we are used to, so after reading lots of reviews we decided to give C2N a chance as most feedback seemed positive. Collected our food and made our way home to find (while all sitting at the table) that part of the order was missing! So contacted C2N and they said come back and we will give you a new order (guessing as the original would be cold after 3 trips). When I arrived in the shop I placed the (now getting cold) order on the bar and explained the situation. At which point a lady comes from behind and say the missing part of my order was ready!! I explained that I was wanting it all replaced because you the time I returned home it would be cold, she they gets quite unhappy (to be fair she did have a mask on!) and said I could have a refund! This upset me even more as I had now wasted 3 trips for an ordered meal that I didn’t get to eat.......and to make things worse she shorted me on my refund (my wife originally collected it). Not even a sorry or a we can deliver it to you....just refund and get out!!! The food could have been amazing and it could have been our takeaway for the future for us but because of sloppy packaging and what I consider very poor customer service, I can’t recommend Chinese 2 Night. If you want to waste fuel, time and energy while paying for the experience, it could be the one for you but you have been warned, check your order before you take it. A very sad and disappointed Mr B

During our 18 weeks of self isolation we missed the meals out with friends, so having this take-away was fantastic, because they delivered our meals quickly and the food was hot, tasty & delivered free of charge. The portion size was also the best we have had. The staff were friendly & efficient. Even when you chose a set menu, they will add or change to suit your taste buds. When we did start having friends around in our garden, it was also an ideal solution, to avoid making food, contact and breaking social distancing.

Always the best Chinese in our Area. Great Service, willing to customise your order to your liking and extremely fast delivery. Never let down by small portion sizes or cold food. A++++

First time we have used this take away. Picked up after calling, very clean, screens up and tap payment. Food was lovely and fresh , was a hit with whole family. Converted, this will be our go to Chinese going forward. Highly recommend.

Food was delicious! Hot and served in lovely little cartons. Recently tried sun lee and the dragons den, both of these places had bumped up their prices and took advantage of the current situation. Paid 32 pounds from sun lee and 28 from dragons den. I bought the same dishes last night from chinese 2night and it cost me 21 pound. The food us amazing! Had roast pork and there was no grisly fatty bits on it like most other places. The batter on the chicken balls was crispy not soggy. Brilliant!

Having tried many Chinese takeaways over the years, many being hit and miss, we found Chinese 2 night that definitely ticks all of the boxes! All dishes cooked fresh and arrive piping hot, can honestly say that I haven’t had a better Chinese meal elsewhere.Would 100% recommend, owners are some of most genuine people that you’ll meet. I know that we’ve found our new regular, thank you!

I cant comment on your order as i didnt try it but the family that run this takeaway are not as you described adam,complete opposite. I have been ordering takeaways from current owner and father for nearly 40 yrs.Top food,top family. Sometimes long wait,purely because how busy they are. Say no more.

We were Gold Coasters but they changed chef so we were looking for somewhere new and Chinese 2 Night is the one! Always nice on the phone, always quick, delicious non greasey food, they don't use plastic boxes and their rates are good Happy to have found them, you wont be disappointed.

Our usual chinese takeaway was closed Christmas eve, so having read the reviews we went for this one. We went down there because we didnt have the menu, and ordered. Despite being very busy, rushed off their feet, they were very cheerful and said we would have to wait about 20 mins. The food came up packaged lovely in boxes and we got free prawn crackers and a fortune cookie each (dont know if it depends on how much you spend). The food was great and since then we have been back twice abs now call this our regular.

Was visiting family in Shoeburyness and we all fancied a Chinese meal.. Have sampled most if not all of the takeaways in the area and have no hesitation in saying Chinese 2 Night knocked the spots of them all. Best takeaway I’ve had in years - food fresh and delicious - surroundings clean and modern and staff friendly and super efficient. Clearly popular with locals (the phone never stopped ringing for orders whilst I was there) Will go back again. Highly recommended

We had a takeaway as a treat last night and it was Horrible. Roast pork chow mein had no flavour meat was stringy. Pork balls (more like strips)in the kids meal were tiny. Dry Spare Ribs were flavourless and the grease had soaked through both bags(nasty).. Chicken satay was mostly grissel.My wife ate some of hers because she was hungry. 90% of mine went in the BIN..

Stopped off here as in the area. Drove home before opening it up. Asked for fried rice was given boiled. Chicken curry was not what I call curry, large lumps of cooked chicken in a thick gravy with lumps of mushroom and a few onions. Tasteless I am afraid and it went in the bin. Sorry but not for me.

Been looking for a local Chinese for a while now but they have all been a big hit and miss. After reading the reviews on here I decided to order. The food was piping hot, good portion sizes and tastes great. Only problem I encountered was actually trying to order as the phone line was constantly engaged or not being answered so in the end I went to the shop to order and waited to collect. If there was a way to order either online or through someone like just eat then I would have given this a rating of 5. Will order from here again soon.

Firstly the staff were awful so my autistic brother. Screaming at him. I had asked not to have the same man again when I place my order earlier that day as he was abusive. The food gave us diarrhoea ,

wWell, cant believe im writing this but sadly HO'S is ,after 3 more attempts , going from bad to worse . Food came out bland and cold , everyone in our group did not eat half what they were given all saying it wasnt nice . Two of our group ate none at all and opted to go back out and get a kebab instead it was that bad. Sadly thats our last try at HO'S . I believe they are closing down anyway so.....

Second time ordering from here, first time was pretty good so thought would order from here again and what a disappointment. Waited for over an hour which I wouldn’t mind if the food was decent and hot but it absolutely was not. It was cold and gross, even the prawn crackers tasted stale. Also when calling up to complain they seemed annoyed with me and made out like I’m a liar. Very rude, rubbish food and will not be ordering from there again
