Chinese Snack Box in Leicester

It was my first time, got noodle it was very delicious. They are friendly, cosy atmosphere.

Got the beef in pepper sauce with egg fried rice. The price and portion was great but it was packed with hot chillies that took your face off so you couldn’t taste food, just got heat. The rice was all stuck together and no flavour. Nowhere in the advertisement did it say had chillies in it. If I wanted heat I would have gone Mexican. When did Chinese become hot chilli food. Sadly I will need to find somewhere else because can’t be doing that. My dinner was ruined

Delicious food and big portions, which makes Chinese Snack Box well worth visiting.

Went for food n Friday evening. Staff were friendly Served swiftly Food came quickly, hot snd fresh. Sweet & sour chicken Hong Kong style with rice, prawn toast, Singapore vermicelli, curry sauce, Szechwan beef, chicken fried rice and salt and pepper ribs all for just under £50 fed 5 of us with left overs. Will return again soon.

Great Restaurant with friendly staff, we ordered the sweet and sour chicken and pepper beef, both with egg fried rice. Great flavour and portion size for both dishes, would definitely recommend.

It's a very nice a cosy place, great authentic food! Highly recommend, prices are good as well, match with the portions

Very delicious pork and Chinese leaf dumplings and chicken chow mein. Customer service was next level, very lovely staff and nice decor, everything you could wish for in a restaurant.

It took me more than an hour to drive to this noodle shop again. The food is really delicious and the portions are large. I highly recommend the stir-fried pork. Other noodle soups are also very good, and the stir-fried beef river is quite filling and filling. In the end, I asked the store to provide 2 takeaway boxes to take away because I couldn't finish it. The price is economical and affordable.

absolutely disgusting the food was terrible and when we complained they said there was nothing they could do about their nasty tasting food 100% do not recommend i wish i could give it 0 stars 1 star is even nice!

This is our go to place for food in Leicester. It's a very informal, relaxed place which we like. Food is with you in minutes, fresh, tasty and great value 👌

Delicious food and humongous portions, which makes Chinese Snack Box well worth visiting for lunch/dinner. Had some chicken fried rice and some dumplings with chicken and mushrooms and they were mouth-watering. Atmosphere is alright, it's right in the city centre on High Street, with a couple of tables outside. The staff were welcoming and brought the food to the table quite fast.

a first-time visit to the Chinese snack box. On arrival, me and my sister were greeted with smiles, and they were very pleasant to talk to. We were seated promptly and given menus. I ordered the egg-fried rice and beef in black bean sauce, and we ordered a few side dishes to go with it. We had some dumplings, ribs, and chicken wings. Egg-fried rice and beef in black bean sauce were a delight! There was so much flavour, and the beef was thoroughly cooked and was going down a treat.The dumplings were hot, and some were some were flavored w with the soy sauce dip to complement hem. The chicken wings were crunchy and, overall, delicious.

Second time in a row dissapointed with the service and quality. Used to be nice and fresh before. Now the owner and waitress are rude after feedback for food they didn't even apologise. Old food warmed up premade chicken ready in 5 min. Very money oriented and lost sense of quality and customer service.

Absolutely phenomenal quality and flavour! Really not what I had expected at all if I’m honest. Lovely friendly service, and some of the very best Chinese food I’ve ever tasted!

Overall a good place but not many veg options, the spring rolls were nice and fresh.

Witnessed one of the chefs urinating against a wheelie bin in his uniform then wiping his hands on his uniform. Red flag. Never visited and never will

Fantastic authentic Chinese food at a good price in Leicester centre. Lovely woman served us and the vibe was very pleasant.

Large portions ! Good price ! And yeah pretty decent taste! Well done! I had the Tom yum noodle soup! Will come again !

YUM YUM!! the food was delicious and the staff were really nice. a cute, quiet date spot. super affordable prices, would definitely come back. we got the sweet and sour chicken with egg fried rice and the tom yum seafood noodle soup

Great value for money - huge plates made to order and ingredients very fresh. Service efficient and friendly. Recommend.

The shop is clean, staff are friendly, food are yummy and in reasonable price.

Those who like spicy food can try the spicy sausage noodles and spicy and sour beef brisket noodles. The sausage noodles can also be made non-spicy to cater to people with different tastes. The fried bean paste noodles are a bit salty. I chose fried pork and leek dumplings, which tasted good. You might as well give it a try, and the price is moderate

When I don’t know what to eat, I will eat my hometown noodle shop. The price is affordable and the taste is amazing, but you can’t go wrong. Even when dining in, the clerk always gives you cash. I often eat their saliva chicken. The chicken is quite tender and not very spicy. It contains a lot of crushed peanuts and raw minced garlic. I can only eat it at night. The cold dishes are pretty good. I haven’t had any trouble with the rice bowl. Except for the mixed fried rice - the barbecued pork was too fishy.

Fabulous , tasty, authentic food, big portions and it won’t break the bank. The staff were very attentive and friendly. Don’t walk , run to this little gem.

Generous size portions and very reasonably priced. Great variety on menu. Staff are friendly and service is good. Definitely worth a visit.

The third time I came here, it was a pity that the noodle soup base became more and more bland every time. The dumplings were delicious and the price was affordable.

Great food and great service. We go there at least once a week. Our favorites are Jasmine tea, salt and pepper chicken wings, and dumplings.

What a lovely little restaurant. Such nice staff, very welcoming and polite. Food was great quality, quantity and value. The environment is nice and there is a good authentic atmosphere. So glad we passed the ques outside Pho and Wagamama and came here instead.

One of my favourites places to eat in Leicester

Well what a fantastic meal we had, lovely staff. We will definitely be returning !!!

Came highly recommended to me and lived up to it entirely. Really good food, nice staff and good portions. Veggie friend with us also loved it

Ordered food from Uber excellent 👌 Great value and great taste

My wife ordered chicken fried rice,house special fried rice,chicken with mushroom.I got a small bundle of hair from chicken fried rice.I have the photos.We were struggling to resist vomiting.Hygiene is very poor.We will never order food from this shop.When we called the Shop ,a lady was putting blame on the delivery boy.I don’t understand how a delivery boy can be responsible.The boy gets the food already packed

Overall Experience - highly recommend the sour chilli soup with hand cut noodles 1. Sour chilli soup with noodles - soup is sour and mildly spicy, noodles are springy, beef is tender 2. Fried rice - average, would prefer more flavour and seasoning in it 3. Service - friendly staff 4. Serving time - 20 mins 5. Affordability - average 6. Atmosphere - clean

Been going to this restaurant for nigh on 8 years and it’s been impeccable. Until recently. The food quality has gone down hill over the past year or so. The staff are helpful but if the food you’ve been eating for years suddenly makes you visit the toilet more often than usual,then it’s a no go.

Probably one of the best Chinese places I have visited in a while. Food was just amazing and tasty. Had the chicken chow mein, Szechwan chicken and egg fried rice. I wish I had taken pictures but the food was just delicious.

Portions and price fine, but vegetables undercooked, "chef's specials" bland, other sauces indistinguishable. Maybe we should have gotten the noodles?

Quick service. Food was amazing. Definitely recommend to anyone passing through Leicester like we have.

First time ordering at Chinese Snack Box in Leicester. Met with very friendly staff. Not rushed to order as the menu is quite vast, so I went with something I like. Very tasty, very quick from ordering to table. Will definitely be coming here again with friends/family and try something different.

Fantastic place: good quality food, Equilibrium quality/taste/price, efficient and friendly service, a very very clean place with lots of customers letting you know that is concurred meaning that it is worth it. Very recommended 🥢🍜🍱. I have taken the bento 136 👍🏻, not just tasty but belly filling as well.

The most disappointing restaurant ever. If you’re considering eating here because the prices look reasonable, don’t be surprised when that’s reflected on the quality of the food, I got a roast duck noodle soup which was so bland and the broth looked like dirty mop water. Even water has more flavour than the broth in this dish, obviously it was loaded with coriander aswell which made it even worse. The service was great until I asked the waitress to change my meal for something else as I barely ate any and eating more would’ve felt like torture, but her face lit up again when I just said I’d pay, they are cheapskates. so I ended up paying for a chow mein which wasn’t anything spectacular, could probs get better chow mein from Tesco’s ready meals. Maybe I just got unlucky this time but honestly u couldn’t pay me to come back. I ordered green tea and they must’ve confused my order with sewage water bc that’s what it resembled both in appearance and taste, don’t know what it was but defo not green tea.

I absolutely love Asian food and I was looking for a quick lunch. I had Szechuan beef and boiled rice and it was delicious. The staff are super friendly. Everyone's food looked so delicious and I can't wait to go back and try some of the other dishes. The chow mein looked amazing, the noodle soups, dumplings... definitely going back!

Needs a health warning due to amount of salt used

I lived in England for a while and this was my favourite place to eat. When I visited again with my family eating here was at the top of my list. I always get the Pork Mince Noodles & dumplings, which are quite literally heaven on earth. The staff there are also so sweet and helpful. My brother has a shellfish allergy and they made sure to keep him safe. They're also very fast which is super impressive with how high quality the food is. So sad we don't have this place in America.

A very pleasant woman took our order. She was helpful and very friendly. We ordered three dishes and they were all tasty. The boiled dumplings were authentic indeed. Had the noodles with peanut n sesame sauce which was yummy. Also the double cooked pork with good quality rice. Huge portions and very filling. Reasonably priced. Highly recommended!

A great restaurant for traditional Chinese food. They specialise in noodle soups - you can select different variotions including hand made noodles. This kind of place is common in China to stop for a quick bite to eat. Chinese noodles and dumplings are the highlight here.

Best Chinese food you’ll find in the Midlands, if not the whole of the country. So many dishes to choose from and amazing portion size. Great value for money, we go almost every month! The staff are so lovely. Would recommend to anyone and everyone.

Me and my partner have come here many times, and it has never failed us. With healthy portions, amazing prices and lovely staff there’s no reason not to to try this quaint little place. Thank youuuu

I had ordered from this place multiple times on uber eats so I decided to go into the restaurant for a date with a guy who doesn't know the restaurant. yesterday I had ordered about 4 plates to share and we were both full so he had asked for 4 containers for us to take the food home. As the containers were so small we asked for an extra and the woman who was washing the dishes responded so rude and angrily, over a container I would have gladly paid for. It was incredibly embarrassing and I hadn't felt welcome in that moment despite being a faithful online customer. I would leave zero stars but the two stars are for the delicious food and the very kind girl who had served us at the till.

Food is always really good! Highly recommend

The best Chinese food I’ve ever tried! Beef with aubergines in soy sauce is my favourite 🤩 The staff is really welcoming and friendly, the orders are processed in no time and the meals just moreish! Unfortunately I have no photos of the food cuz we usually finish it so fast that I have no opportunity to take at least one pic😄 Thank you so much for such an amazing service!

That's what I called Chinese food!!! Amazing

Visited recently over the bank holiday weekend for lunch and it was a nice experience. The food was tasty, reasonably priced and portion sizes were decent. Not a big place so might be difficult to get a seat during busy times. The staff were friendly and service was very quick (I jokingly commented their microwave is super efficient) Looking forward to the next visit and that they keep up their high standards (without significant price increases of course).

best chinese in leicester. been going here for years. since 2018/19. dumplings are amazing. there soups are good. the boa is okay. the prices and value for money is exceptional. and food always comes so quick. there captial sauce is very good. they have some great specials the mapy tofu and there twice cooked pork is great. would reccomend. this place is so good!! also the egg fried rice is very good

Super nice and authentic Chinese food in our first visit of Leicester! Highly recommended.香辣牛肉面和黄焖鸡米饭都非常正宗，店员服务也很周到，很推荐!

Tasted like peanut butter on noodles. Horrible couldn't even get one bite down.

Always busy good food hard working girls

The best Chinese in Leicester!!!

Most authentic around. Really friendly staff always too.

Was pretty good. All dishes were tasty, my only issue was with the beef noodle soup which had really poor quality beef. Was mostly fat and cartilage. Really disappointed with that dish but everything else was 5*!!!

This was my favourite Chinese Restaurant in Leicester. I loved the service, the owner is so friendly and the boiled dumplings are the best! I was a regular here for 3 years and the braised pork with green chillies are amazing! EVERYTHING IS THE BEST. I came to review because i miss this food place so much and was nostalgic. I will love to meet the owner again and visit if I'm back in town!!

Great place to get authentic Chinese food. If you go here make sure you look at the specials, or try something you'd not find on a takeaway menu, you won't be disappointed. Food comes quick, and you might receive it at different times, but I don't see a problem with that. We went for the double cooked pork with rice, and the brisket spicy noodle soup with hand cut noodles. The twice cooked pork was great and had a nice spice of fresh green chilli running through. The spicy soup was nose clearingly spicy with a deep savoury flavour. If you can't take realy spice then this isn't for your. If you come here for any noodle soup, the hand cut noodles are definitely worth the extra wait. Unfortunately they didn't have any steams buns (bao) again, which is a shame. But the pork and chive dumplings (pan fried) were a great alternative.

Best restaurant we have been to. The place is really clean including the toilets. The staff are really polite and carnt do enough for you they even opened the door for us upon leaving. The food is very cheep for the size of the portion and fantastic quality. Are favourite choice is the sweet and sour pork with chow main and would highly recommend this. To people can eat and drink for under £20. Overall experience 5star.

Really quick service, friendly staff and delicious food! The egg fried rice was delicious and the chicken was really crispy and tender! Definitely recommend if you’re in the area!

The staff here are lovely, the service is quick and the food is amazing!!!

They do the best vegan hot chocolate 😋😋😘.... Yummy. Xx

Discovered this tiny Chinese restaurant tonight and can't praise it highly enough. Excellent, tasty, well presented food. Swift, smiling service from two lovely ladies running it by themselves & cooking!! Reasonably priced & good atmosphere. Thank you. :)

Amazing food and such good value for money! Been going for years, so much better than just your standard Chinese take away. Chicken in capital sauce, crispy curry chicken and salt and pepper chicken are some of my favourites 😋

Its a tiny little place, very basic but very welcoming, and the food was brilliant. Don't be fooled by the outside which is not eye-catching and currently (Jan 2022) has scaffolding above. Food arrived lightning-quick too.

Good location in city centre, staff very friendly. The portions were large, and the food was very good! The crispy chicken in lemon sauce was awesome. It is very cheap and very tasty! Recommend

Popped in early Saturday evening for a quick meal after the cinema. The two members of staff were helpful and very friendly. We had a selection of house fried rice, crispy beef and various side dishes. Servings were very generous and the high points were the bao buns and the fried dumplings . Not the most luxurious of surroundings, but great value for money and amazing food.

We stumbled upon the Chinese Snack Box as we were looking to grab a quick lunch. My two young children were made to feel welcome. We were greeted by a very friendly lady. The menu was good and the food spot on. The crispy beef was exceptional. The only suggestion that I have for them is to have a few vegetable side dishes. Definitely will go back when I am in the area.

Called in on a Monday evening at 8pm . Place is spotlessly clean . Ordered duck in black bean sauce with boiled rice . Within literally a minute of ordering meal was brought over to me . Clearly not cooked fresh - whole meal was tasteless . Place was deserted with only what looked like the owner sitting in front of me . Nobody asked came over to check with me how meal was . I was hungry - ate half and left , never to return.

Good Chinese take away but not great sit down atmosphere. A bit slow on service, maybe just on Tuesdays, which also is the day they don't do steamed dumplings.

Great food, cheap prices, huge portions. Cafe style, not sit down restaurant. Much like wagamama.

Great food, great service, friendly and helpful staff

By far the best place I've come out to eat in leicester, the food was absolutely delicious packed with flavour. The service was amazing food was served in literally a couple minutes after ordering. Very satisfied:) highly recommended for everyone!

Been in here a cpl of times recently. Service polite, efficient and food tasty.

Excellent, one of the best Chinese take aways I have ever had.

Visited with my sister recently. Very tasty food and nice environment. Service polite and efficient. Well worth a return visit at some point.

Lovely staff, food really nice.

I had planned to go to my usual, excellent restaurant, only to find it had not yet opened its doors. I decided to look and see what alternatives there were in this area. I eventually decided on the Chinese Snack Box. It is quite a small place, but I was amazed how friendly all the staff were and I mean really friendly and helpful. I ordered Roast Duck with plum sauce and noodles and Pork Casserole with fried rice and vegetables. The flavours were amazing. I could not believe I had stumbled on to such excellent food and such a friendly group of people working there. I would definitely recommend The Chinese Snack Box for outstanding authentic Chinese food.

Love this place! Sat and chilli prawns are really tasty and the duck chow mein. The staff are very friendly and it is a good portion size. The food is also piping hot and very fresh

The name may be a bit misleading, this is not only a noodle in a box place. Very nice and fast service, good size portions, all nice and clean. Will come there again for sure!

Fantastic authentic Chinese food at great prices. Lovely to be able to try dishes I've never seen before. The aubergine was delicious as were the hand cut noodles!

The double cooked pork from here is incredibly good!

I have been coming here for years and I am never disappointed. Chinese Snackbox is very clean, has excellent customer service and delicious food 🥘 . They also use very good containers for takeout and the food is always hot and fresh.

Amazing food, big portions, really lovely staff

Amazing! The staff were so so nice, the food was absolutely amazing (best beef in black bean sauce/egg fried rice I've ever had!) Portions were big and the price was very fair! Deffo gonna be going again!

点了油泼面其实更像担担面，味道挺好。大包子也不错。汤面慎点属于给老外吃的。

Lovely chinese food I'd reccomend it.

Delicious food, very nice staff, recommended

Staff here are so wonderful and kind and friendly! Me and my boyfriend got dumplins they were delicious!! We had to get seconds to take home with us. Price is also decent 👌🏻 will definitely come back here one day and try some other different foods from the menu.

2 really good dishes for vegans: veg with rice, and spicy aubergine with potatoes (very spicy!). Would be nice to see a tofu dish.... currently they only do tofu with pork =/ Not a huge selection of choice for vegetarians/vegans.

I am absolutely in love with this restaurant, the food is not only the best Chinese food I have ever tried but the price are very affordable, something that I found excellent is the amount of food served, enough and very feeling. The staff is absolutely fantastic, friendly and very professional. My favourite take away in Leicester for sure!! The restaurant is very clean and tidy, is a place that enthusiasts of Asian and Chinese food definitely have to try!!

The food is full of flavour and plentiful! Great value for money. Lovely, friendly owners. Whenever I visit my son in Leicester, this is our go to place for authentic Chinese food.

Don’t understand the hype gave me a sore throat and heartburn

Great food every time but please stop using only Bacon in Pork dishes or admit when asked. Its happened twice I was told its not Bacon but it was. It tastes fine but too much isn't as nice.

The food is great! The service is very efficient and the prices are very affordable! Although it’s small in size, the quality of the food makes up for it.
