Chop Suey House in Powys

Still waiting- over 1hr 20m later - having ordered two dishes….

Like most of the reviews on here underwhelmed by place. Food very expensive and not that tasty .We ordered 4 items for £20 ,we ordered in advance ..went to collect and only 3 items in the bag .I challenged this on collection ,I was informed the cop suey and beansprouts had been amalgamated in to 1 container .Not what we ordered but couldn't be bothered to debate .we got home and the mushroom dish was missing .I shared this experience in the local pub and apparently it is a regular occurrence, plus I note other reviewers have had the same experience .Go to Talgarth ,better food ,cheaper prices and you get what you pay for ,never had an issue with this place .We will be returning to our default curry house from now on !

What a stroppy woman. Apparently you should say in advance if you want salt n vinegar. What she came back with just had loads of salt on

Very expensive for very average food. Never again

Used to be first choice takeaway in Hay but prices have increased around 30% recently making a tray of vegetable fried rice roughly the same as a large cod and chips from hay takeaway or a prawn passanda from red indigo making the decision that little bit harder.

this is honest hand on heart the worst chinese i've ever had. there were a group of us so we ordered quite a lot and nothing was enjoyable. avoid at all costs

First time I’ve EVER reviewed a takeaway…so bad I felt I had to…special chow mein, chips & prawn crackers…£13-90…80 min wait..in the shop NOT delivery..not even busy…20 min walk back to our campsite…food dreadful…so returning not an option…not even cooked properly..75% went in the bin! Have I called them…No… Hopefully they will read this! You’ve been warned 🤢

Over priced, cash only hmmmmm, menu hasn't been updated for 20 years! It's gross.......stay away!!

Take Away? Walk in and order a simple fried rice, 1 other person waiting in the shop. Told 1 to 1.5 hour wait....Walk out. A complete joke!

Really tasty dishes. 3 of us ate well for £34

Waited 50 minutes for 4 dishes and 2 chips. When got back to where we were staying found that one dish was missing after paying for it!! Food mediocre and expensive. Would not recommend and definitely not go there again

Lovely staff & Great food! I only order a couple things but they always get it made within 10 mins!! Super sweet staff aswell

Tonight's ribs were the worst I've had!! Basically bones with no meat. This is the third time in a row the ribs have been very poor with no meat and probably the last time we dine here as very poor quality in recent years 😢

I phone up, place an order for 3 dishes, I ask how long it will take, the response it "about an hour". I turn up an hour later. It isn't ready. I then wait 20 minutes, which I'm guessing is how long it would take to cook it from scratch. There was absolutley no point in me phoning up to place an order. When I'm given the order there is one dish missing , she intimates she can cook it for me, but I can't be bothered to wait any longer. The Singapore fried rice bore no resemblance to what it should. It was OK, not particulalry good, and not what I ordered.

Bit of a wait on food but lovely

Stayed in Hay on Wye tonight and struggled to find anywhere open for food. This Chinese was the only takeaway available. First impressions were not great, but there was a queue for food, so risked it. Waited 30 mins and everybody had their food, ours eventually came 10 mins later after she asked me what I had ordered. It was sweet n sour chicken with fried rice and a portion of chips!! We got it out to eat and the chicken was strips in a heavy greasy batter in a bag, with a tub of the sauce (the type you add water to a powder and it becomes sauce) No vegetables or onions and it tasted terrible. We ate a little rice and some chips and threw the rest away. It was honestly the worst take away I have ever had. I would strongly suggest that you avoid this place and either head to one of the pubs for a meal or a sandwich from the Spar shop.

I’ve lived in Hay for three years and last night was the first time I have used Chop Suey, and the food was excellent, definitely won’t wait another three years, well done little take away.

Okay food , definitely not worth the hours wait , rude staff who just blatantly do not care for customer service, you have to pay cash which was not made obvious anywhere no signs or notice , a positive side to things you get to explore the lovely town for a few hours while you wait for ur food

Food was better than average however very expensive and with a long wait. Portions were also smaller than other places I’ve tried.

Open Sundays, which turns out to be important. Cash only.

Ordered by phone but still had to wait 15-20 minutes. Food plentiful but not that tasty. Will try second time and order something else in case they were having bad day.

Awful. Ridiculous wait times as they seem to prioritize local. Food is ok but a 2 hour wait is not.

Staff are rude long time and a waste a time don't recommend

Always good food cooked fresh. If you ring your order through in advance you will get a time to collect, so no waiting around.

Great food it was definitely worth the wait! You know the food your having was fresh which is why it takes longer than most, that just microwave their food. Would recommend to anyone who wants a top quality Chinese meal.

Enjoyed our food, but had to wait a long time so would recommend ordering in advance.

Food was average but the service was incredibly slow. I rang around 5.45 to make an order for 7, but still had to wait 20 minutes once I'd arrived. Guy who walked in behind me waited 15 minutes just to give his order. One other customer was there when I arrived and still there when I left. If they can't cope with 3 customers god knows what it's like when it's busy.

Waited 45 minutes for the food but its cooked fresh and very high quality so still giving it 5 stars Impressed!

You're probably looking for something tasty to eat in Hay. It's getting late, all the other takeaways are shut, you're getting peckish. I was like you once. In the same boat. Champions League final 2019. Liverpool had just sunk their second goal, it was all over. I looked on Google Maps to see what was open... nothing apart from Chop Suey House. I ignored the 3 stars as hunger took control of my decision making process. I got in, just before they shut, ordered a couple of choices and admired the double sofa combo, 'interesting' art on the wall and homebrew certificates. The food was boxed, bagged and delivered. Off I skipped into the night with high hopes. I could go on for ages about the food but I won't. Suffice to say, it was bad, don't make the same mistake as me, wait until morning.

The food was horrible. I will never be going there again and your lucky your getting star.

Decent food but you have to be prepared for a very long wait! Took us 20 minutes just to get an order in (at the counter, not on the phone) and then another hour for the order to be ready. This wasn’t a particularly large order - for a meal for 4.

Best Chinese in hay that's for sure

The best ever, we eat their food all the time.

Food tasted average, with long wait times. We felt cheated with the hoi sin duck..... although they sold the duck in the usual tin foil container, when you open it, 90% of the volume was filled with lettuce with just a thin layer of duck on top. Wouldn't go there again.

Poor service, food is ok if you can be bothered to wait over an hour for 5 dishes to be made. Barely speaks English, poor communication and ignores you to answer the phone. And for two weeks on a trot they have run out of duck before 8pm.

All the food I ordered was realy nice. However, at £2, I felt the bag of chips was rather small ! Quality ☆☆☆☆☆

Never again just found an insect of some sort in my rice never felt so disgusted in all my life

Don’t even bother ordering a takeaway. All we ordered was soup, fried rice and prawn crackers at 6.50pm on Saturday night was quoted 8.30!!!! Pick up. Went at 8.30 and quoted an extra 30 minutes, demanded money back. A lot of other people had been waiting 2 hours. This place is a joke. Go to the indigo red indian instead

I was really pleased with had how good the food was. Living in Bristol I find Chinese food to be very sweet and salty. It was just right at chop suey house. I would say better than any Chinese takeaway I have had in Bristol, and I have had many.

Outstanding chips. Great prices. They were upfront that we would have a long wait if we ordered anything else.

Decent food fast service and nice staff. However, It's on a pretty bad need of refurbishment or renovating as it's not been touched in at least 30 years (and not in a cute vintage/retro way)

Terrible. 45 minute wait for the blandest food ever. Rude person behind the counter too. Avoid at all costs.

Waited 40 minutes for food on a Monday night. They missed items out of the order. Food was ordinary. :(

Excellent. Bit of a wait for the food but it was well worth it. Would recommend.
