Clifton Chinese Take Away in York

My food has not been delivered, yet you say it has!

was really late and wasn't the best as normally is

was wasting away by the time it arrived

Food never arrived from takeout. Boo.

Where do I start? ordered beef in black bean sauce....what I got was a box of really badly chopped onion in watery gravy with a few scraps of fatty beef and some frankly enormous chunks of green pepper seeds and all. Vile. ribs? not one scrap of meat on the beggars, they looked like they'd already been eaten then cremated and soaked in oil. Vile. chicken chow mein? rubbery chicken in bog water. Vile. did we eat it? yeah because we were absolutely starving. did we cry whilst eating it? Close.

Turned up early mostly bland food a bit disappointed as had previously had great meals

The prawn crackers were stale, the noodles were bone dry and tasted really rubbery. The soup lacked flavour too. Disappointed as have had good one from there before.

The food was great, very tasty

wowvwhat amazing food we are here from Liverpool for my birthday 29th first time in York and love chinese and indian this was exceptional thankyou

Sadly cold and very salty! Had before and was nice but this time was really not good. No answer of the phone to complain!

Absolutamente horrible. Pedimos una selección de entrantes a nuestro hotel, ya que no teníamos mucha hambre, pero picoteo de lujo. Costillas de sal y pimienta – resistentes como botas viejas, lucharon para sacar cualquier carne del hueso, normalmente esperaría cebolla, cilantro, chile como guarnición, pero no, solo cebolla. Los Wantons fueron directamente a la papelera, quemados, secos, sin sabor. Los fideos eran como bandas de goma, no frescos, recalentados, horribles. El pollo con sal y pimienta era gomoso y sin sabor. Evitar a toda costa, que fue un desperdicio de £ 26. Lugar vil, el peor chino que he tenido en 47 años en este planeta.

Food was awful. Crispy wantons were flat and no prawn filling. Noodles were rubbery with a strange flavour.

The salt and pepper chips were soggy and barely had any flavouring unfortunately, but the rice and curry sauce were ok

Despite the negative reviews I normally find it’s pretty good. However I ordered the ribs tonight and they were terrible. Also the lid wasn’t on and the bag had clearly fallen over at some point so the sauce was everywhere. Nightmare to sort out.

Salt and pepper chips were a bit poor

Really nice food and very quick delivery. Used to live in Clifton and really missed the crispy chilli Beef. So happy they deliver to Shipton By Beningbrough. Delivery driver was so friendly. Thank you

I ordered 2 bags of prawn crackers and only recieved 1 and my order was 11 minutes past when it said the latest delivery would be. The driver practically threw the bag at me then ran away back to his car. Not happy with my lack of prawn crackers or delivery time

Cold, hard and inedible! The worst Chinese we have ever had delivered

I wish I had checked the reviews on here as the JustEat reviews were a lot higher so I thought it would be ok! Everything that everyone else has said about hard, cold, burnt and greasy food, especially the prawn toast is true! Absolutely disgusting and it was late! AVOID

Beef was not good-the meat was old so we could not eat any of it. Smelled funny. All other dishes ok.

fast delivery.Enjoyed our meal.

I’m not in close proximity and it’s the second time I have used them and the food is spot on.

It came late and was cold , not happy with the order.

We ordered food for delivery and was told that it would be with us at 5.40. 6.30 and still sat waiting, so finally received it at 6.45 chips were warm ups, you couldn't even bite into them, there was nxt to no chicken in the chicken fried rice sweet and sour was ok. The only nice thing was the delivery driver!

The worst Chinese I've ever had in my life! Burnt meat and curry sauce which tasted of nothing but grease. Re heated noodles with shellfish in! Shocking! Save your money! They will not refund and don't even care! They just tell you to take it up with just eat

Hands down the most disgusting food I've ever ordered. Stodgy, cold re heated noodles which contained prawns! Burnt meat in the curry, which was mostly onion! half cooked chips. Which tasted of nothing but grease. Vile. When we rang and explained about our food and offered to send photos and videos, they just said " what do u want me to do about it, complain to just eat" couldn't care less!!! ***AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!****

Entrega la comida más asquerosa que he pedido. Fideos fríos y recalentados que contenían langostinos. Carne quemada en el curry, que en su mayoría era cebolla! patatas fritas a medio cocinar. Que no sabía a nada más que grasa. Vilento. Cuando llamamos y explicamos sobre nuestra comida y nos ofrecimos a enviar fotos y videos, simplemente dijeron "¿qué quieres que haga al respecto, quejarme para comer" no podía importar menos! ! ***EVITA COMO LA PLAGA! ****

First time ordered from Clifton Chinese. And I ordered special curry with soft noodles and chips with gravy. The special curry meat was burnt aswell as the veg. The noodles were different sizes as though they just mixed up a batch to make the portion up. I’m a chef and can say the chips are 100% warmed up and rock hard. Absolutely disgusting. I will be reporting to just eat for refund. We will stick to Acomb chineses in the future

Part of the order was missing so I called them. No apology and was left waiting on hold for several minutes before being told they would not bring the missing part and to “try” and get a refund off just eat. Singapore vermicelli was weirdly sweet and the chow mein was sloppy with rubbery meat.

Good food delivered fast - driver was very friendly and polite. Thank you

worst food we have ever had, it went straight in the bin.

Salt and pepper was plain, chewy and very pasty looking. Noodles dry

Very greasy. Never got my spring roll and the vegetable spring rolls I DID get were not great. The delivery guy was very pleasant

Awful never go here chicken is inedible and for the money I paid is ridiculous the whole lot went straight into the bin.

Late- cold warmed up food - wont order again

Ordered for a certain time but was 40 minutes late I do not want credit to my account as this is the second time this has happened consecutively

Ordered away prawn toast disgusting very well cooked,tasteless and full of fat looking like not changed in a long while not cheap either Won't order again from them

Came piping hot and early. Great portion sizes, with meat especially.

Delivered in literally 10 mins. Cooked really well and very tasty. Would recommend.

being Early wasn't a problem. the food was amazing as usual

Food arrived early and piping hot. Also have enough for tomorrow. Recommend this takeaway, will order again. Driver was pleasant

Food good but there’s little point in leaving a delivery time if they’re going to deliver 25 minutes early. This time we were in, next time we may not! Stick to delivery times or lose orders!

took a long time from ordering food for the food to be delivered,

My favorite Chinese takeaway in York! Absolutely fantastic Singapore chow mein, really tasty and well seasoned. The crispy chilli beef is up there with some of the best I've had

Arrived 45 minutes late and cold

Over 1 hour late. Called over 10 times and no answer. Food turns up and half of it is clap cold! How can half of it be cold, chips were that cold they had re frozen and gone stale

I ordered 2 diet cokes and didn't review any

Nothing arrived and it said it had been delivered

app never works , nobody reads the requests , terrible

Salt and pepper chicken very dry even with sauce on it! Noodles tasted very cardboard like they had been sat then warmed back up! Not great!

The order arrived but the quality of the food was lacking, sweet and sour chicken tasted of coconut and everything was damp in the bag, not the best I’m afraid

The food was delicious and filling as always. My favourite takeaway

Over 2 hours for a meal is an absolute joke. Called up to check on the order and the staff informs me the chief still hadn't even begun cooking after 1.5hrs of placing the order. Even though it had been marked on the app as order delivered. Requested refund/discount. Received nothing back. Avoid.

Bbq ribs ended up beening honey ribs Without the bbq sauce I cant eat the fried rice so sat here with late food I cant eat hungry I want a refund

shocking, food hasn't shown up. utter clowns. do not order from these people who want to steal your money.

My order was over 40 minutes late I had to chase it up cos I got no updates from the restaurant only over hear if u like cold food

Almost 2hrs for a one person order. Appreciate busy but stop taking orders if can't cope. Usually really quick and food quality is good also

Amazing crispy chilli beef and sweet and sour chicken. Best Chinese food we've had!! Highly recommended

Really tasty food. gonna order again.

Came over 1 half hours late, when rang up they said it was here and getting pick up I said so it going to be cold and it was no flavour at all my chip were soggy and crispys beef was soggy from been sat in box so long

Already over an hour late, called the restaurant who said it was out for delivery.Imagine it will be nice and cold if it ever gets here.

once again my food did not turn up, this is becoming a bit ridiculous it's happened like 5 times last year don't know why but could you send me my money back again

The app said delivered at 17.55 but it didn't arrive until 18.30 nearly 40 mins after it said delivered

Poor quality food will never order again

The food was nice but next time pls call the customer when driver outside.. I stayed in a guest house and I picked my order from an other guest walking into he's room with my food order... Which I alrwsfy paid for

Good food but really bad on delivery. Will not order from here again as it’s 3rd time it’s been over 1 hr.service lets them down

Absolutely amazing food. The only Chinese takeaway in York that gets it right. The duck was tender with a crispy skin and there was plenty of it, char Sui was the same and the broth it was in was full of flavour. The chilli beef was nice and spicy and the sauce was thick and sticky. Spring rolls were huge and full of filling. The only possible complaint was that the ribs were maybe a little bland but even then still great. The food even arrived early. Easy 10/10, my new go to place.

Delivered the wrong order. Called them and it took ages to try and correct the situation. Told me it would be here within 10 mins then called me to ask if I still wanted the food and then 20mins after it turned up. Appreciate you eventually sending it but it was still handled very badly.

Very Tasty. My go to Chinese, never disappointed. Thank you.

Fantastic meal! Would highly recommend

Took 1 hour and 20 to come and when arrived was cold , not happy at all.

Great food as always. On time and lovely delivery driver wishing us a merry Christmas. 😊 thank you

They charged more than it said online for rice and noodles also food was cold and not piping hot which it normally is so I was very disappointed tonight also with charging more than it should of been

Very large order for some hungry soldiers on exercise, delivered on time and to an awkward location. Food was excellent.

Food was inedible.. was cooked too much . Salt and pepper chicken was cooked and that much it burnt it was like eating overcooked batter . Chips was definitely warmed up chips hard with no chrisp was hard roughly but the rest was hard . Spare bone Oups i mean ribs was just bone . I’d get more meat of a anorexic cat . This use to be a nice Chinese back in the day when good old cindy was in charge. I can safely say I feel ok today but I suppose if something is cooked that much it’ll kill the salmonella

Very salty this time round. Haven't stopped drinking water. Maybe not as much msg??

Good food but let down on won tons, just flat scraps, which is a shame

Ordered the special fried rice for myself as a birthday treat and it gave me food poisoning. Not the best birthday lol. Shame, it was my first time ordering and I definitely won't be doing it again

Worst Chineese I’ve ever eaten. Spent nearly £60 on food and not one thing we ordered was actually nice.

Never disappoints! Food is great, delivery is always quick. Best salt and pepper chicken!

The food is always good, delivery too 👍

Great tasty food, fast delivery.

I don’t understand why people are complaining so much. My wife and I always order Sweet and sour Pork fried rice and spring rolls. Costs £10.50 and is enough for us to share. It’s cheap and cheerful I’ve never had it delivered as I don’t mind going and picking it up. From order to me eating at home is less than 20 mins. Delivered food is never hot, learn people… Go get it.

Never used before but dxcellent quality.

Was served lamb instead of beef in crispy chilli beef dish, when I don’t eat lamb and they don’t even have it on the menu.

Ordered at about 6.15 was told it would be about 710 - 7.30 pm it arrived at around 8.15 on a Wednesday ( which we expect on a weekend not a week day) .

Asked for no vegetables when order recieved it was more vegetables than meal. When contacted asked to buy again. Food was also cold when received. That’s been the last twice food cold. I get we have an off day but again??? Never again

Tasted like they had put a full tub of salt on it

For the price and quantity, to what I have had from other restaurants, this is not the best. Also not the tastiest

Was a longer wait than I would have liked but the food was delicious

chips a little scrappy onion rings 100% wow

Worst Chinese I’ve had in a long time 🤢

Order quite a bit from here always my go to the driver that always delivers if so friendly and is always early

About and hour and 20 mins for delivery, and food was a bit rubbish. Not much flavour, bbq ribs had no sauce etc.

Beat chinese around , wouldn’t go anywhere else, the delivery driver “nick “ is the best ever thank you guys

I just love there Currys. chicken or pork my favourite, BBQ ribs it's my go to order mmm.

Extra time was put on the order so the maximum waiting time was 1hr 10 minutes. It passed the time so I had to call up to chase. They said it had left 15 minutes ago. Over 10 minutes after that it arrived. Amazingly piping hot. Either the delivery driver had an oven on board or potentially they hadn’t made it/still making it when I called and just sent it out. In total we were waiting over an hour and a half for our food. The food was alright.

The chicken fried rice is always good but I was very disappointed with the sweet and sour chicken. I asked for chicken balls with separate sauce. All I can say is I won't be getting it in future as it was not good. I'll just stick to fried rice : )

The food was delicious as always

Excellent food and fast delivery
