Choi's in Rutland - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Fantastic food!!! Everything was cooked to perfection, the staff were incredibly helpful and rhe food tasted spectacular! I wish we had found you earlier.

This was our second visit and it was as good as the last. The service was fast and the food was excellent and the staff made us feel welcome. Nothing was to much trouble, my wife has an allergy to certain food ingredients and this was dealt with without fuss as the staff appeared to have no problem dealing with food allergy issues. The menu had a wide variety of options that should suit most tastes at reasonable prices.

Vistes here a few times. Sitting in is much better than takeaway. That being said I don’t rate the food high. The rice goes very hard once it cools and the flavours are just traditional to me. It does get some good comments but Chinese being one of my favourite takeaway foods, it just doesn’t hit the mark for me.

The worst Chinese meal I’ve ever had , everything bland , no flavour , swimming in oil , expensive and everything went to the Bin

This restaurant is a delight. The food is perfect and the staff are happy and friendly. We've already been twice this week and will come again!

Best oriental food I have had in a while. Excellent service by very friendly stall. Will definitely go back when in the area.

We would certainly eat here on a future stay in Uppjngham. At first glance from the outside the restaurant looks a bit unpreposessing - you can't see beyond the take-away counter. However, the interior is surprisingly spacious, with very attractive décor. An extensive menu, and the food is delicious. Highly recommended.

We returned to Choi's after many years and were very impressed. The decor has remained similar, it is well looked after, clean and very authentic. The host was very welcoming and made us right at home, remaining both friendly and non intrusive throughout the evening. We chose to all (four of us) have the second special menu with included mixed starters, crispy duck pancakes, and a variety of main meals. The food was plentiful and well spaced, we were given sufficent time between courses to relax and enjoy the atmosphere. Overall the food was worth every penny, it was delicous, well cooked and throughly enjoyable. Wil definately be returning soon!

It's reliably good with a great atmosphere. We ususally go for one of the set meals. It's a vibrant and colourful restaurant and we go with friends for an enjoyable meal. Love getting the fortune cookies too.

We’ve never been disappointed here. Staff are friendly and helpful. Food is always freshly cooked and nicely presented. They also have premium Japanese Sake. I love the decor. It is always warm and inviting.

The best Chinese food in Rutland. The Staff and Service are great. The Food is Fantastic Good Value.

Best Chinese I’ve had outside china town ! Really good food we went for the share menu 2, starter sharing plate, followed duck and pancakes then 3 lovely mains with special rice. Not rushed each course served when we ready. Staff lovely very attentive. Restaurant attractive. Def worth a visit.

The food is very good all freshly prepared, so be prepared for a little wait. The service is fantastic. The only disappointment for me was the special set menu rule, you have to have a minimum of two people pay for it. Not so good when you are the only awkward vegetarian at the table.

We called in without booking and are really pleased that we did. This is a fantastic restaurant with brilliant service and fabulous food. We opted for the set meal and it was amazing. This place may lack kerb appeal but it is definitely worth a visit. We will be back for sure and would highly recommend.

friendly professional staff, with a relaxed atmosphere. we decided to have the Malasian banquet for 3. it was fabulous I must recommend the coconut beef, mouthwatering tender with crunchy and soft coconut. all the dishes were delicious.

What a find. I have driven past this restaurant for years and have never considered going for a meal. My wife and I were on a date night, arranged quickly as we had to pick our son up from Stamford later that evening. It doesn’t look much from the outside, probably the reason I had never been before, but it supports the adage don’t judge a book by its cover. We were met by friendly staff and shown to a table, Menu options were traditional fare and we did the usual look at what other people were eating! The food on other tables looked wonderful and smelled delicious. Drinks were ordered and delivered in good time and there was no over zealous waiting staff trying to get you to order which was refreshing. We decided that we couldn’t decide what we wanted so we chose a set meal- now that required a decision too as they have a good range of options. We chose the Malaysian set meal - the starter came after a small wait and you could tell it was all freshly cooked. Chicken on a skewer, chicken wrapped in leaves, prawn in batter and a spring roll with ‘seaweed’ it also included a sweet chilli dipping sauce. All lovely and very tasty. Then there was the duck course - 6 pancakes which was beautifully cooked tasty crispy skin and fresh onion and cucumber. Main course comprised three dishes all very tasty and well prepared. There was a chicken dish similar to black bean, a prawn dish with good spice and a beef dish with coconut which was superb. The rice provided was great too. Highlight for me was you ate from a small bowl with chopsticks which made it a great experience. Without a doubt we will be returning to sample the other set meals. The service was attentive but not oppressive perfect.

Thank you so much for enabling my father Dennis Wright to enjoy his 98th birthday takeaway in lockdown. You are brilliant and the service you have provided is soooo appreciated. Thank you.

Unreservedly the best Chinese Takeaway Food we've had! Everything we ordered was cooked beautifully. The noodles and rice looked really appetising and tasted delicious. Very good value for money!

Have eaten at this restaurant many times and certainly for the last 6 months or more, the food has been great. Tasty, hot and delicious. Service is friendly and polite. I recommend.

This was the last Chinese I have tried in order to make a comparison between competitors in Uppingham. The entry and waiting area are far superior to most takeaways, most likely because it’s linked to the main restaurant, via a beaded curtain. The welcome was excellent from the proprietor I think. Menu was straightforward. I had special chow mein, egg fried rice and barbecued spare ribs. All were freshly prepared and service was prompt. Best thing was that there was not a lot of slushy sauce, in the chow mein as is too often the case with most takeaways. Ribs were very meaty. We will be back, perhaps to sample restaurant also.

We had 3 courses; a vegetarian sharing starter, soup and a selection of main dishes.For me, the highlight was the sharing starter; from the delicate tempura vegetables to the spring rolls, "seaweed" and, weirdly, samosas. The whold thing was delicious.My partner's chicken and noodle soup was also delicious; my hot and sour soup not so much. It was neither hot nor sour and only managed to achieve a rather non-descrip equilibrium. The most off-putting aspect though was the consistency - it was gelatinous even when hot and thickened as it cooled. I was half way through it when it virtually set in the bowl. I had the impression that if I had tipped the bowl over and removed it, the soup would have held it's shape like a jelly.Of the 3 main dishes, the satay vegetables was the worst - basically chunky peanut butter sauce with only a hint of chili covering the overcooked veg; yuk. Large mussels in black bean sauce were much better; the mussels were delicious and there was just the right amount of heat and flavour in the sauce. Finally the scallops with cashews was nice but there wasn't enough of either, and the whole dish was very pale.

Popped in two of us on a quiet night . The Food was really very good indeed. Particularly the hot Malaysian noodles. Service was prompt . Place was warm on a cold winters night. Definitely well above average Chinese food. Will go again .

Booked here at the last minute but a good choice. The staff were friendly efficient and laughed at our jokes. The food was hot and served quickly. We had spring rolls, sizzling teriyaki chicken noodles and rice. Very tasty

I cannot understand why this restaurant is not 5 stars. The decor was beautiful and the food delicious.

Great take out dishes last weekend, with a short waiting time considering the restaurant had some full tables. Friendly service

absolute rubbish.... "pawlord" just wanted free food. makes me laugh. write a review until your ears turn blue. most people in uppingham know it's not rubbish food

Arrived early Saturday evening without booking and managed to get the last free table! Staff were very attentive and importantly the food was tasty and well presented. Look forward to our next visit.

Booked late on a Saturday night, was a little apprehensive as everywhere else in Uppingham was fully booked and yet plently of space here. Food came within minutes (reheated not fresh). A few mouthfuls in one of the party found an insect in the food. We reported to management who apologised but we did not want another mouthful so left shortly afterwards.We understand that this could have been an unfortunate incident but reheated meals is not what you expect when going to a restaurant for the evening. Prices were not cheap and did not reflect the quality. Book early and book elsewhere

Ended up here whilst in business. Initially wanted something a little healthier and I knew of I came here, I'd be too tempted to order everything battered on the menu! However, Lakes didn't open until 7pm so here I came. Lovely service and very speedy. Drinks came immediately and gave me time to have a good look at the menu. Nice varied menu without being too much to choose from. Ordered salt and chilli squid and wanton soup to start. Was put in 5 minutes, nice and hot and looked very appealing. Excellent to both. Fresh ingredients and well seasoned. Mains was coconut boiled rice and scallops with pak choi. Again, very tasty and well cooked. Would've liked a couple more scallops but it was very nice so no complaints. Bill came to £33.90 with two beers so more than happy with that. I rarely give 5* reviews because I eat at some top restaurants due to my work but this was pretty close. Well done, Choi, very pleasent experience.

I still find this restaurant the best for Chinese food in the area. We had the chefs special S1 which had the mixed starters which are always good and the crispy duck (marvelous) followed by 4 dishes of which the pork in chilli and honey was to die for.

Well..a large group of us ate here with work as part of a day long meeting.

We regularly visit this chinese for meals with friends and family and it never disappoints. The staff are friendly and welcoming and the food tastes amazing, offering a wide variety for vegetarians like myself. I would recommend this chinese to anyone.

Authentically kitted outChinese restaurant, no windows, lots of lanterns hanging down and thick carpet; perfect the place is straight out of central casting.

I'm positive about this place. as it's a calm place to eat and really nice food aswell. nice staff and all in all a really good place to eat. food is outstanding and would recommend to anyone that asks me about it..

My family and I have takeaway from Choi’s twice a week and food was freshly cooked and tastes even better each time at a very reasonable price. Fully recommended as they are the best Chinese in Rutland.Never disappoint.

Myself and partner picked up a takeaway from there last night. Very expensive and straight after eating we felt awful. Chicken was rubbery and disgusting, chips were greasy, duck was horrible......literally nothing we ordered was nice. Avoid like the plague!!!!!!!!

We visited for the first time yesterday as we were looking for a potential venue for a large family dinner and wanted to try it out.

I've visited many Chinese restaurants over the years but this has to be one of the best.

La comida poco sabrosa y los platos poco abundantes. Es una comida china de batalla, poco auténtica, con sabores muy neutros y planos, sin nada que destacar, para un estilo de comida que debe destacar por su exotismo y especias. Cara para la cantidad de comida que ofrecen, tuvimos que pedir más platos. Decepcionante para los que realmente aprecian esta gastronomía. Fuimos en pareja, pero me da error al seleccionar esta opción

Yet again we visited and had a delicious meal. Great selection of dishes. Great food, service and staff. Thank you

I have never been disappointed when I have eaten here and I have been going on and off since it first opened. The food Is always good with a good choice on the menu. The staff are also friendly and helpful

Had some delicious premium Sake. Great to find it without having to go to London. Fantastic. Food was delicious too. Really like this restaurant.

Paper tablecloths and napkins. I liked the kitsch decor. Staff very nice. The meal was not great... Guess more down to what I chose. My partner enjoyed his.

We visited this restaurant on a night out with my wife for our anniversary .

Been here 4 weeks in a row. Can’t fault them so far. Lovely food, very pleasant and attentive service. Long may it continue !

The restaurant was very smart and the staff were friendly. We ordered the salt chilli squid and Spring rolls for a starter, the prawn crackers were fresh and crispy,strangely there were no condiments on the table at all. The spring rolls were nice and my starter of squid was quite substantial, but mainly because it was extremely thick batter, although it was simply squid in batter, covered in salt with slices of raw chilli, the flavour was ok, but there was so much salt on it that I had to bang the salt of each piece to make it edible. Nicely presented, we were given lemon in water to wash our fingers but it was ice cold, so not really very useful for greasy fingers.

Stayed on business for one evening and looked for a place to eat with a colleague ...found this place about 5 mins from the hotel. Noted a few poor comments. We had a cracking meal .smart and very tidy restaurant...noted subsequently all the bad reviews appear to be over 3 years old...go you won’t be disappointed.

Visited Choi's last week; We decided on the Malaysian Set Menu for 2. All the food was very tasty and well presented. Service was great. The price was slightly higher than we would have paid in Leicester, but i feel was worth it as it was a new type of cuisine that I really enjoyed, I would describe as between Indian and Chinese! Recommend you visit!!

Had one of the set meals. Not cheap but really nice food. Had the lettuce instead of the usual duck course- tasty and much lighter than pancakes. Friendly wait staff.

22 of us descended on Choi's on Tuesday for one of their set menus. We had excellent mixed starters, wonderful crispy duck and almost didn't have room for the main courses - sweet & sour chicken, beef & black bean, pork, garlic king prawn. Do go with an enormous appetite as there is so much choice and we didn't manage to finish anything! All very delicious. And they coped very well with our 3 non standard diners - a vegetarian, a Gluten free and a non garlic.

Having discounted going to the local Indian which demanded cash only,no alcoholic drinks and pretty high prices + a reputation for very slow service,we went here last Wednesday evening and the restaurant only had two other diners but we got the best service(of course...) and food for a long time.Excellent Prawn toast and Crab cakes,Crispy Duck,and substantial mains of Prawn and Chicken done in a variety of Asian styles freshly wokked by Hong!

We really liked the set meal for two which offered a nice variety of dishes, without having to think too much about what to order. Lovely spare ribs and crispy duck. Trust me you will order these again, and the main course dishes are great too.Yummy! It made a very satisfactory day in Rutland!

Good quality food and by far the best we have sampled so far since moving into Rutland. We will be using regularly just need to crispy up the beef and reduce the volume of batter on the chicken balls. Chicken noodles were the best we have ever had and the room for improvement comments are minor points compared to the overall quality and taste which was good.

My wife and I went to Choi's on Friday night which was also coincided with the first day of the Bird Fair. We had booked a table and arrived to a half empty restaurant and a little confusion at the front desk people coming and going. As we sat down we ordered drinks while looking through the menu. After a short time it a group of about 20 people from the bird fair arrived over the next 30 mins and everything almost stopped. We had ordered one of the set menus and had received the starters when we had to remind them of drinks we ordered. The mains although good food took almost an hour to come out to us and the choice of desert was tea/coffee or ice cream, which we ordered to find they had virtually none left and had icicle in as it had been re-frozen at some point. I fully understand that a large group of 20 will put pressure on the serving staff, but the restaurant was not full. Personally I think the set menus are a little overpriced. The mains of chicken & ginger, crispy beef and pork were good, but 2 and half hours for the 4 course meal was too long and likely to make us think twice before we do.

Me parece buena la calidad y encantadora en el sabor. Siempre ir para los chefs de tofu frito, su gran especial si tienes un diente dulce!

Aparecimos como viajábamos a través de Uppingham. Es mucho más grande de lo que parece desde el frente. Caminando a través de la entrada se abre en un restaurante excelente.

Surprisingly tasty! The way they did hot and sour soup exactly the same as my hubby wanted, seafood dishes are very fresh. Definitely will come back again when we are visiting again.

A good meal served by friendly staff. No delays each course turned up at the right time. The banquet meals were very reasonable with plenty of choice.

There is a good range of tasty food, which is speedily served and piping hot. The duck and pancakes are generous, as are the main courses.

We called in for a quick supper after a long day of travel. Staff were courteous, helpful and quick to serve us. We were impressed that authentic Thai and Malaysian dishes were also available. The food was very good and we will certainly be back in the very near future.

We have used Choi's for family celebrations and impromptu 'treats' - the range of menu is outstanding, and the quality across the board is top class. The chef is great, and the service is always polite, pleasant and just when you need it - you don't feel pressured, but you never have to look for service or ask.Highly recommended

20 of us descended on Choi's on Tuesday evening. We had booked a set meal at £18.80 per head for 3 courses. We had a selection of starters, then crispy duck, then 4 main courses - and it was a veritable feast. The veggie and the gluten free chose their own food on the night. The food was really delicious and covered all tastes and the service was excellent.

great service good sized restaurant quiet night but great dishes, had chicken and beef , lovely fish pond inside kept my daughter amused

Always have a lovely meal here. Consistently good standard of cuisine and staff always very courteous.

This is the fourth time we have visited. The service in this place is outstanding. You are offered extra pancake rolls or plum sauce with out having to ask. The crispy duck is separated at the table and is delicious. The mixed starters are very very tasty and you are supplied with finger bowls. For the main meal you are served with bowls as a Chinese restaurant should. Chopsticks are supplied as standard but don't worry. Forks and spoons are available. So why only 4 stars? Well I found the main dishes slightly disappointing this time. The sizzling beef was quite bland and the Chinese pork was a bit fatty. However we will return if nothing else the fantastic service

On a visit to Rutland you will find pubs are closed Sunday afternoons so eating out is virtually impossible ( Except the Exeter Arms which is top notch ) so a restaurant called Choi's was recommended by nearly everyone we met, the visit was certain, off we went. We were told it was a Chinese takeaway but this is only part of what is n offer here. Food is fresh, smells of cooking get the mouth watering and the service is personal and reassuring, perfection... We had a set meal and the advice and descriptions given by the staff left us wanting the whole menu. The food is worth the wait, cooked to order with fresh ingredients by someone who knows what they are doing, plenty of flavour and plenty to fill your chop sticks. An hour and a half of excellent food we left satisfied and with full tums... Not just a takeaway, more a taste bud investment..

Two of us went there for an impromptu dinner and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Staff were friendly and attentive and food was superior to many Chinese we have visited before. Very good menu with Thai and Malayan choices. Don't be put off by the outside and that it looks quite dark from the window. The interior is traditional Chinese restaurant but well maintained and large. A pleasant restaurant to spend the evening.

Went here wirh my son wife sister and brother in law. The place was like a ghost town only 2 diners plus us. I find this hard to understand. Ok it was a Friday night but the food served up was fantastic and tasty. The sevice was first class and the restaurant has a good oriental feeling. Why people don't take advantage of this great restaurant is a mystery to me. It's not as if it's expensive. A three course meal which includes mixed starters. Crispy duck and four main courses complimentary coffee for £21 each. Now that's value for money. Come on you rutlanders. Support this great venue. We will be back

Had a delicious meal here, crispy duck pancakes and Thai green curry - highly recommended, we'll be back !!

We had booked for our large party and the reserved table was waiting for us.The staff are delightful and coped very well with all the different orders.No mistakes were made.The food was hot, tastey,and really enjoyable. Good value.Do not be put off by the exterior.

Called in whilst passing and glad we did, we had great service and the food was really good, the kids had a couple of things to share and we had the Sunday special at a set cost which was great value. We where really well looked after and had a great meal. It's not much to look at from the outside but inside is really nice, well worth the visit.

My Dad love a Chinese so we always eat out on his birthday and have been coming here for a few years. It is always good quality food with a friendly service and atmosphere even ion the quietest nights. I would highly recommend.

This is an eastern restaurant serving chinese, maylasian and thai food. You walk into an establishment which oozes eastern charm from the Chinese lanterns hanging from the ceiling to the wall decorations. It is exceptionally clean and the seating is perfect with wooden chairs with cushions and ample seating which is not over crowded.You know it is a first class establishment as the first thing on your table other than the menus is a finger bowl. The table is laid with cuterly and also chop sticks. They are laid with dark red tablecloths which adds to the ambience. They supplies bowls for the main meal which in most chinese restaurants you have to ask for.The food is excellent. We chose a set chinese meal but the same applies to the other cultures and I can't wait to return to try these out.To cap the meal we were given fortune cookies a nice touch.What did surprise me was the value for money. A three course chinese meal including crispy duck and four tiger beers for £53.If I have any criticism it is the sevice was a bit slow between courses but they did apologise as they were busy.I highly recommend this place.

All round not bad at all , quick , and attentive service and he food was pretty good too, did the job !!

When I say traditional, let me explain. I've never been to China so can't compare Choi's to an authentic Chinese dining experience. But when it comes to a British Chinese experience it pushes every button and ticks every box... and then some!Interior is suitably adorned with woodcut pictures, lanterns, red wooden screens and obviously Koi Carp. Music is proper Chinese versions of Simon & Garfunkel and others. Staff are delightfully polite and efficient, it's a great place even before the food comes.Menu has all the usual dishes along with some Thai and Malaysian set meals which I know are also a joy.The food is everything it should be but kind of better... every dish will be familiar to anyone who's had more than a half dozen "take always" in their life. Crispy Duck, Sweet and Sour Chicken, Sesame Toast; all familiar dishes but cooked to perfection and in some way tastier and fresher than normal. I think it comes down to nothing more than a good chef and fresh ingredients but the result is amazing, just lovely, lovely food. No fuss, no pretensions.We go back again and again.

great for celebrations as a treat. great place and friendly staff can,t do enough for you. a bit pricey but well worth it.

We were passing through Uppingham at 7pm as we returned to Rutland from a hospital appointment in Leicester and we stopped here for something to eat. We were planning to get some fish and chips but saw Choi's and thought we'd give it a go. We received a very warm welcome and were shown to a very nice table in this attractive and quite large restaurant with it's typical oriental furniture, wall art, fish pond and atmospheric background music.We chose standard favourite dishes such as crispy Peking duck with all the usual side dishes followed by sweet & sour pork Hong Kong style, shrimp chow mien & special fried rice. Apparently the new chef has only been where for two weeks and certainly all the food was absolutely delicious. The service by both waitresses was superb, efficient and charming and we will certainly be coming back soon to sample more excellent food from their extensive menu. The toilets were also very clean! This restaurant deserves to succeed!

the food is good, but expect to wait, even at quiet times. When busy, waiting times much longer, so only possible if you have time to spare.

We had the Thai sharing starter - it was awful. The fishcakes were very rubbery, the chicken looked reconstituted and was tasteless, the veg in Tampura batter all batter only the spring rolls were average and edible.Our main courses were edible and ok, but my crispy noodles had the sauce on top and therefore not remotely crispy, still tasted fine but disappointing..At £23 for two we'd have been better at the fish and chip shop.

Popped in on a sunday night expecting a cheap meal. We got a cheap meal, but also got one of the best chinese meals in a long time. Dodgy decor, tatty menus dont dtract from the overall experience. Eat here as soon as possible. Its ace.

Hadn't been for a long time and won't be going back anytime soon. Virtually empty on a Friday night. Food was mediocre, men's toilets had really bad damp over the walls and then towards the end of our meal an ant started walking across the table. When I brought it to the attention of the waitress she simply smiled and squashed it on the table cloth and left it there. Then two or three more appeared including one rather ironically inside the the wallet serving the bill and two chocolates! We paid and left ASAPand noticing a dead fish in their internal pond! Not the Chois I used to love. Hate to think what state the kitchen is when front of house is lacking attention to detail. Oh and yes the staff was miserable even before the ants! Back to Pangs in Stamford from now on. No excuse in this day and age for such poor standards

I really like their food esp the fish cakes, monk fish and veg curry.The staff can be full of attitude though,especially to takeaway customers, and not because the restruarant is busy either. Service with a smile is always recommended, but more so if you are going to nip into the kitchen and prepare my food.But the real shocker about this place is the dead fish in the fishpond! For months now there is constantly a dead fish or 2 in the fish pond? It is impossible to enjoy your fish cakes after seeing that!

We have visited Choi's in the past and found it to be very good, however, I don't know quite what has happened to the place but we certainly won't be going back again.The restaurant was empty and the whole time we were seated no-one came in to the restaurant or for takeaway food (bad sign). We ordered our food and bearing in mind that we were a party of four the food appeared in a matter of minutes - obviously not cooked from fresh as one would expect.The quarter duck was pathetically small, only enough to fill 3 pancakes, the garnish on the plate was a manky piece of parsley and a very old, brown dried up piece of carved carrot. The kung po chicken was disgusting, the pieces/cubes of chicken were hard and saturated with fat, completely unappetising. The roast pork crispy noodle dish was disappointing as well, only having a small amount of pork and swimming in gravy.We expressed our thoughts to the waitress, but this was a waste of time as she couldn't understand English very well and could only smile and say 'sorry', we asked to speak to the manager but the waitress was on her own and the chef couldn't even speak English.Overall the food was unappealing, re-heated rubbish! I don't recommend this place and I certainly won't be returning to waste my money again.

Totally recommend pad tai gai no peanuts and coriander chicken never get bored of it. the husband always gets fillet steak cantanose style oh and totally recommend the chinese mix odeor

Great food good value great staff nice place just over the road from the Crown so could walk and have a drink

We used to live in uppingham and used to come here regularly so when we came back we were cautious about how it would be,Well it was exactly the same as years ago which means even though I think the décor is a bit dated especially in the toilets, the food was lovely.The staff were lovely and courteous which was nice

We booked for 7.0pm, the restaurant was full, there was one poor trainee waitress who had no hope of coping. The takeaway was mega busy and being served at the expense of the restaurant. We were the third table to get up and leave due to being served no food. Absolutely appalling!

had a takeaway tonight which was ready very quickly and was obviousley microwaved , rice was like rubber , crispy noodles with no crisp about them at all, will not be using chois again, very poor quality food .

we went there for a meal, the starters were not very good however the main courses were OK. Service is friendly.

Visited Choi's for the first time on Sunday 6 July. Agree decor is a bit dark and old fashioned so could do with brightening up. The welcome was warm though and the lady who served us was very polite, friendly and efficient. Service was good. The food was excellent. Definitely recommend the scallops and beef rendang and the coconut rice was amazing. We would certainly return.

Takeaway was terrible. Food missed off order and stale cardboard prawn crackers. Yuk! Won't be ordering from Chois again! Will stick to Wings in future.

Booked a table for 8 persons on 10th may for my twin daughters birthday meal.What a mistake. Poor serviceUntrained staffpoor foodA real let downInformed the manager and owner ' Chois / Oriental Fusion at CorbyNo one is interested that it appears this restaurant has gone totally down hill

hottest curry in both senses of any chinese. Decor a bit heavy but friendly service and good food with loads of choice.

We have been regular Take Away customers of Choi's for nearly 5 years and have noticed a huge decline in the quality of their food and service over the last few months.The first couple of times, we put it down to them being busy or short staffed, but tonight we ordered food that was barely edible. The rice was cold, the Chow Mein tasted of burnt oil, the Chilli Beef was soggy, gloopy and obviously badly reheated. The Prawn Crackers were stale and chewy. We rang to discuss the problem, but the manager was obnoxious. She very rudely suggested that if we wanted hot food, we should eat in, instead of ordering takeaway. We only live 30 seconds from the restaurant!She went into a rant about how the food is prepared, successfully losing our custom and the chance of us ever recommending them to anybody again. Thankfully there are two other Chinese takeaways in Uppingham and we shall be happy to give them our business in future.

Decided to visit Chois on Chinese new year on Friday evening. Phoned in advance and booked a table for 6.15. When we arrived there was a delay as the waiting area was full of people waiting to order or collect take-aways. Eventually shown to a table and long wait until someone brought menus and took our drinks order. We were the first diners to arrive. Table was near door and we were freezing so we asked to move when our drinks arrived. We were moved next to a radiator, however, it was not on!. Young waiter put on air conditioning unit near corridor to toilets. We remained cold for our meal. Only 2 tables taken by then (5 customers in total)yet 20 minutes to take order. Starter arrived after long wait. Food average. When table was cleared there was another long delay yet still no more customers in restaurant. Different waiter came to table. Asked if we had had our starter. Then asked if we had had our duck course with pancakes. When we said no there was a discussion with another female waitress. Delay again until the duck arived. Not very generous portions...6 pancakes for 3 people. Table cleared by different waitress and even though our glasses were empty we were not asked if we wanted any more drinks. Couple with 10 year old girl arrived at next table and another table filled by couple. 4 tables taken and take-away traffic had reduced. The table next door ordered a main course. After serving out their dishes they requested more rice. After a lengthy delay the young male waiter came and placed the bowl of rice on our table even though we were still waiting for our mains. 4 minutes later after further discussion between waiters they removed rice from our table and put it on the correct table. Main courses arrived and again average in quality. Again waitress did not ask if we wanted drinks and our glasses were still empty. There were now about 6 tables taken with 15 customers total. The menu choice of my wife and son included a 'free' coffee or tea. No one came to enquire if we wanted a dessert or a drink or our tea and coffee. By this time a large group from a 'diners group' were seated in the main part of the restaurant, approximately 30 diners all elderly males. When the time got to 9 o'clock we decided enough was enough. We went to the till and asked to pay the bill. Again long delay (5 minutes) until lady (owner?) came to deal with us. We complained about the service and the lack of tea/coffee or offer of dessert. The lady said that they were busy with the large party that had arived (only arrived about 8.20 pm). The nearest table of the 'diners group' were fairly audible and were complaining about the long delay in getting their starters. They tried to order more drinks to compensate but then faced difficulty attracting the attention of a waiter to get these. We were wrongly charged for an extra bottle of beer and the lady complained that we should have told her. Yet she took the order fom their own sheet. She then took an age to prepare another bill. By this time the large party were complaining about the delay in their food. At this point their starter arrived. My wife again complained tha we had been in the restaurant 3 hours and were still waiting. We paid the bill and the lady tried to present my wife with some money off vouchers for our next visit but in light of the appallingly slow and poor service we refused to take them. A couple in their twenties sat by the entrance had decided like us that the delays were not acceptable and they asked to settle their bill and leave after the duck and pancake course rather than wait for their main course. When my wife explained that it was the worst service we had ever encountered the lady explained that 'it was the chinese new year' The restaurant was still not full and even though it was a cold january evening the radiators were still not on. So much for a warm welcome. The 4 waiters and waitresses were terrible and there was no co-ordination or system in place so different ones dealt with us at different times but did not follow the service through. One waiter did not know what the other had just done on our table. They did not bother to offer us drinks, We would have had more drinks and hence they did themselves out of custom and money! The bill for the 3 of use came to £65 for the 3 courses and the food was average. Needless to say we will not be travelling to Uppingham anytime soon. We will try the ones in Stamford next time. Our visit was disappointing as we have had some very good evenings celebrating Chinese new year there for over 10 years, when the atmosphere and welcome were great and there was music and dragon dancing for entertainment.

We have been struggling to find a good Chinese in Northampton since our favourite changed hands and then we remembered Choi's in Uppingham. My wife used to live in the town and we had many meals here in the past. Would it still be as good? Yes it was. Best Chinese food we have had for quite a while. It is a bit of a drive from Northampton but we will be back. Food was tasty and freshly prepared and the service was friendly. Recommended.

We ve been several times but this was definately the last. Miserable waitress who couldnt be bothered to waitress. Food is always ok but never outstanding.

We had a set meal Sunday evening. Although the service was good, the food was of a poor standard. The dishes were lacking the usual variety of vegetables that come with a chinese meal. 2 of the 3 main meat dishes were overly sweet - tasting mainly of Golden Syrup.....Although the price was reasonable, we will not be returning in a hurry!

Have recently had the displeasure of visiting this extremely dated restaurant.The food was awful, I went for the "safe option" of a Thai set meal. The starter had what described as a fish cake, in reality it more in common with my car tyre, both texture and taste.Main course was a Thai red curry, normally a very simple and safe dish, it smelt like a pair of shoes that had been worn by a very sweaty unhygienic individual whilst walking across the Sahara desert. The other dish was called Coriander Chicken, the sauce tasted like some kind of sink cleaner and tasted like it had been reheated about 3 or 4 times.We went in a group of 15 and to say they didn't go out their way to make us feel welcome would be an understatement.Overall I would never return to this place and wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Do yourself a favour and avoid.

The Chinese is pretty good. I am local so tend to have a takeaway once a month. The food is usually excellent quality and the staff are generally friendly. I would recommend it, however just one little note, check your order before you leave as they do make the odd mistake.
