Food is excellent, best takeaway for Chinese in my opinion

This was, without doubt, the worst Chinese takeaway I have ever had. The chips looked like they were very old and had been reheated multiple times. The bbq spare ribs were certainly not in a sauce that I would describe as bbq. The pork in the special fried rice was very fatty, and it all lacked flavour. The curry sauce was all heat and no flavour. All in all, it was a very disappointing meal, we will never be going back.

Don't know what has happened as this takeaway was always good. Ive not been for a while, but it was inedible. Rice smelt really funny and was sticky and tasteless. The tray wasn't full, neither didn't really matter as the whole meal went in the bin. Ribs were soggy and tasted like they'd been boiled. Never again!

Busy place which is a good sign. That said it was my partner childhood takeaway from some 20 years ago so I'd been told how good it was. There was expectation to be met and it did. The only complaint was that special chow mein isn't in a round tub like it used to be. I told her you don't eat the tub 😄 We both enjoyed the food and will return to sample more of the menu.

Satay in chicken and prawn was very watery didn’t taste like satay at all and the prawns were rubbery . Beef in black bean was nice . Salt and pepper ribs were stringy tiny portion of rice compared to other Chinese . Very very salty . Afraid I won’t be using again

False advertisingThey say they shut at 10:00 so I rang up at 9:45 to order some food they can't make it because they're closed but nite be4 I rang at 9.50 and they made my order Absolute joke Friday night you can't even get a Chinese in your own area Because staff want to go home early

Starters are never wet yet they chicken wings are saucy and just make the batter awful and soggy. No where on the menu does it state the starts are wet. Maybe add it on the menu. Also the food was all bland from the starters to the mains. Problem with having mix and match sauces and meats is the meat doesn’t sit in the marinade so you can just instantly tell the meat gets added to the sauce so your just eating bland meat with sauce. Food for local scummys. If you want real Chinese food I’d go to TANG.

Been going here for years. Always been previously happy. Thats why I kept going there. They've been closed for a month or so. Wanted to re-order. Ordered portion of chips with the main course tonight. Usually these are scooped up as you collect your main order, nice and fresh, but this portion was in the warmer. It was old chips from the previous fry, I presume. Several brown chips, several hard chips that are really inedible. Order collected 21.30 on 25/02/2023. Also the smell of the oil was unpleasant. Still got that smell on my fingers. Ironically because, from the sounds emanating from the frier, a fresh fry was in progress. What has happened? Please get back to your former glory or was this some sort of one off?

I haven't had a Chinese for about 7 years. Till this gem was found. Clean and none clutter takeaway. Very lovely people. Now the food was curious. Feller said just try and chicken curry for goodness sake. So I braved it. Chicken curry and boiled rice. Wow. Actual chicken. No grease or fat. And perfect rice. The only place I will eat a chinese/Cantonese sorry. Only place I will eat from. Perfect.

This used to be my local Chinese takeaway, which i visited on a regular basis. But not as much these days. The prices are getting higher each year now - far more than it used to do. And to cap this, the portion sizes aren't! Seem to be more skimped on and not as much to go round the family dinner table, forcing you to buy a large portion!! Bit naughty! Compared to the gpod old days, when a portion of lovely salty chippy chips, was just that - a portion - not a handful. Mainly though,my one gripe is that you HAVE to pay in cash only and no card payments allowed 🤔 mmm, never experienced that before in any other takeaway I've been to. I'm sure they gave good reason obviously but i wonder why? It would be so convenient if card sales were finally a go ahead. But it is really inconvenient. If you forget cash or are on way home you have to mess around finding cash machine. Doh...I want my tea lol not messing about! They are not going to enforce it either from what i gather.So take your pocket change sorry, I mean, notes. Don't envy their accountant though when comes to doing their taxes....Their books must be a right pigs ear lol! The food quality is good, yeh, ok from what I've tasted over the years. Salt and pepper chicken wings ate what I'd recommend. Fresh, tasty and not hit too bad with the rise and still reasonable. Plus spicy as hell which I love. Accessible parking is a no no. If your lucky there are about three spaces at the front of the property, on Blackpool Road, outside the hairdressers more on the curb. Ok fur quick stops etc but can be full on a regular basis. It's just the prices rises that occur often, and cash only policy that bugs me. Oh, and the portions of lovely chippy chips depleting more and more into the abyss. Overall, not bad for a local takeaway.

disappointed completely... sauce from plastic bottle, super sweet , no trace of any chef job or anything, beef was not a beef, it was something i just could not recognise, like a fried plastic straws in some black emulsion, no chance to chew... can`t believe this chef can serve this to people, i would love to see him eating it... it went strait into the bin... quite big portion of chips we got ... but again,.. they were soggy, wet and just bad...i would prefer less and properly done.. and my brother Chow mein was oily, tasteless, lack of vegetable, not a fresh dish, you would expect from Chinese cuisine. i am not a fan of writing this kind of comments, but i took it as an offence to receive this kind of food and i hope the owner will open his eyes, or will start eating in his own shop to find out, what they do...

Have been a 3 times now and once waited 50 minutes longer than the stated time, the second time they gave my order away to someone else, my partner always gets the salt n pepper chicken which is lovely so I thought I’d get the salt n pepper ribs, they handed me this portion of ribs I have no idea what it was but clearly not snp as the chicken is spot on, took it back and complained and got attitude saying ‘this is how we do them and they are wet’ I showed them the chicken and said THIS IS SALT N PEPPER, they said so do you want it dry? I waiting for a new portion and it looked like they had just scraped the sauce off the original awful ribs! They were disgusting I ate one and threw the rest away, it’s also ridiculously overpriced, I won’t be going again.

I arrived an hour later to find 15 people waiting for telephone orders. I sat in the shop for a further one hour and didnt even receive any free prawn crackers as a sorry for the wait. Some customers who ordered and waited ages said forget it and left. Its a shame as the food is good but if your in a rush on a saturday night for x factor think on!!

So I turn up after 55mins just to give them an extra 10 minutes to make my chow main which im sure doesn't take too long. An hour and a half after I rang I am still sat in the shop waiting for my meal... are they flying it in straight from China!! UPDATE!!!.... To make things worse. A woman walked in 5mins after I got here. Ordered the exact same as me and has now left with her meal. Her overall wait time 15mins... mine 1 hour and 35mins and counting!!

When ordering a takeaway add about 20 minutes to the time they give you to collect your food. It always takes longer than the time they tell you. It will save a long wait in the shop.

After finding out both of the Chinese buffets had been closed we wandered upon this little place, so we thought we'd give it a go . What an absolute mistake that was. Our first clues should have been that the place was empty, our second clues should have been that the menu is only in Chinese with very little English on it, our third clue should have been when the waiter was unable to translate what was on the menu. Our fourth clue should have probably been the first three things we asked for they didn't have .So once we had deciphered the menu we had to wait a considerable amount of time to actually get the meals and when we did my partner's came considerably sooner than mine, I was left telling him to eat because the gap was so large his was getting cold. He had some sort of soup and sweet and sour chicken. When mine came I was in utter disbelief . My lamb kebabs were the most skinniest, minimalist things I don't even think I could have called it a kebab! More like strings of meat and they were considerably spicy which was not mentioned in the menu (in the little english it had) or waiter. It was about this point when they showed up with the drinks we had ordered more or less when we came in, they did apologise to be fair that they'd forgot but considering we were the only people in the restaurant I'd figure we were pretty hard to forget about, they didn't offer glasses either. 5-10 minutes later they show up with my apparently 'roast potatoes', crisps, we call them. It genuinely was as if they'd emptied some walkers into a bowl and popped them under the grill. To my dismay two Chinese looking gents walked in and their meal looked absolutely amazing! Also, I hope you can eat with chop sticks as no other cutlery was provided (even for very sloppy looking noodle soup)Their English was very poor, so poor they couldn't even translate their own menu I think they should really consider taking some English lessons considering they are so close to the university and would have so much potential for business from it .The whole meal itself cost just shy of £29 and I left hungry, disappointed and in utter disbelief, I am genuinely surprised my partner paid for it I thought he would have put in a complaint and told them not a chance in hell. You could not pay me to return to this place and I wouldn't recommend it as far as I could throw it.

I always get the exact same order from here, Special fried rice extra prawns, curry sauce and mini veg spring rolls, can't complain it's always bang on can't say anything about any of the other food but 10/10 everytime for what I order and delivery is usually pretty quick too.
