We LOVE this place! Gutted that it's so good as means we will come too much! 😂 Cash only, collection only, tasty food, good size portions, good meat! Finally, a Chinese that does crispy shredded beef where you can actually taste the beef! 🤯

Great taste as has been for over 39 years but the take away chips had clearly been reheated when I got home three minutes later. Shame for me as I was introducing my partner to her first taste of the place. Still ate it all though :-)

I ordered a special fried rice and a special chow mein and lacked a lot of meat in both dishes then after a few hours both my wife and myself had bad stomachs could only have been this meal as hadn't eaten anything substantial since the day before . Would certainly not recommend.

Lovely food, nice and spicy satay! Much quicker to order ahead, friendly staff! No cards accepted so take cash. Manual door entry, assistance for disabled required. Highly recommended! Closed Tuesday

Great Chinese menu and they serve you very quick with the food that you order. Very tasty sauces and crispy vegetables, but I sometimes have trouble in deciding if the chicken that is battered that I am tasting in my Szechuan chicken choice, or Cantonese sweet & sour is actually chicken in the batter??

Ordered 2 portions of curry sauce and chips which was tasty and edible but the king prawn fried rice was very bland and had no taste but very greasy and the sweet and sour Cantonese style chicken ended up going straight in the bin.

Salt and pepper ribs were awful and curry fried rice and chips was dry, only a splash of curry on it, binned most of the meal waste of a tenner, had miles better and cheaper

The best curry I've eaten for yrs , the meat is so fresh and juicy ( unlike many others with tough rubber meat) the flavour is what you expect from a curry. My only niggle and this is only me been picky, I love very hot currys and it's not hot , I do ask for extra hot but hit and miss if it is. But this doesn't take away fro. The flavour. Highly recommend the special curry it's the best in the Middlesbrough.

Unsure where some of the other reviews originate from - this is the best Chinese takeaway in Middlesbrough. I especially recommend Mixed Meats Special Curry (this dish also includes King prawns), House Special Fried Rice, Sweet and Sour King Prawns (without batter), and the large vegetable spring rolls.

I have been ordering from Colin Cheng for years and its the best in Teesside by far. The Beef Curry is amazing, the best curry sauce around, the chicken with beansprouts in bbq sauce is also very good indeed. A really good menu, have never had poor food from here - well recommended!!

Have been ordering from here for many years. Have tried a lot of different Chinese take aways in and around Ingleby Barwick and nothing compares. The curry sauce is beautiful, Singapore style fried rice is spicy and packed with meats and peppers etc. Never been disappointed

The food here is ok as far as takeaways go! Some of the food tastes the same but the place is friendly enough and clean and tidy. The best food I have had there was chow mein and the curry is always nice. The customer service is good and you get plenty to eat! Worth a visit if your near by !

Quite a disappointing meal. The food was very pricey, in fact it is about a £1 dearer per dish than most better Chinese takeaways in Middlesbrough. Very unfriendly reception by the staff. I ordered sweetcorn and Chicken soup for starter which was very watery and had little taste. My main of special curry lacked any substantial taste. The spare ribs were OK, although had little meat on them. I would have expected more from a reputable takeaway such as this. My total bill including 2 bags of mediocre chips was £22.00 and no free prawn crackers (quite a normal freebie in any other store). Quite expensive in my opinion, considering the food in the all you can eat Chinese restaurants is better and would have cost around £21.00. Sorry but wont be going back.

Not as good as it used to be. Food bland and all together a bit boring. Curry seemed to be a bit to salty altho the meat was of a good quality. All in all I will not be returning as I feel the food is not how it used to be as a long standing customer. I will be traveling further a field which is a bit disappointing realy

Crispy Beef is absolutely awesome :-) but the chicken in blackbean sauce was watery and tasteless. Had the 1/4 duck which was great and thought I would give them the benefit of the doubt on the blackbean sauce and have it with shredded beef. Again it was watery and tasteless, very disappointing. Timmy's in Nunthorpe is much better food and cheaper

Expensive. Bland food. Advertise freebies then refuse to provide them (prawn crackers on orders over £13.00 - total lies) try not catch a peak through their serving hatch if you go....totally disgusting.

My wife and I stopped here for a bite to eat on our way home from Newcastle. The food was served very quickly, was nice and hot and full of good quality meat. We were quite satisfied with our food, which we felt was good value for money. This Chinese takeaway is fairly typical of Chinese takeaways and does not really stand out in any way, but the food and service were excellent. If you like Chinese food, I don't think that you would be disappointed with this takeaway. The business only takes cash so we had to visit the cash machine at the bank close by.

Sadly, we didn't have a great experience today. We came in right when the restaurant opened. We were greeted at the door by a young man who was polite and he is about the only reason why this review is getting 2 stars. The other lady who served us came across as rude, her manners, lack of listening and the overall approach was not what you'd expect from a restaurant. She also forgot our drinks, probably because she is more focused on talking a lot and making it look like she engages with customers but she doesn't listen to anything you're saying and her pretend face is so obvious it makes customers uncomfortable. We were also given an empty bottle of chilli oil, but then it was corrected by the other staff, the polite man mentioend before. The food arrived quite fast, the portion of salt and pepper chips was quite small compared to other times we dined here, some of the chips were not cooked inside, still cold and frozen. The veggie mini hot pot was OK, not too many flavours, quite bland, but the dumplings were decent. The atmosphere in the restaurant wasn't great due to a large crowd of students that showed up and was noisy, acting like they were at a house party rather than a restaurant. At any other restaurant, they'd be asked to behave appropriately. Such a shame that we've had this experience because it used to be a good restaurant. Perhaps the owner changed as the menu also changed a lot and is very basic with almost no options for vegetarians. Probably won't be back for a long time.
