Food absolutely vile. Special omelette full of grease and water. Just chicken and a couple tiny prawns. Special omelette consists of all meats and is tender juicy . Not just chicken. Gravy was so salty. Never again

Salt and pepper chilli chips were burnt to a crisp, with what looked like the scraps from the bottom of a dirty chip pan all over. Disgusting. Egg fried rice and curry sauce had barely any curry and what was on was so over powering. First and last time visiting. Waste of money.

Terrible. Everything far too salty and strongly flavoured. Really disappointing. Called to complain and was told ‘we only have two chefs on tonight’ but not sure why if you know you can’t cope with the orders you’d stay open and let your customers down. Avoid!

Food is heavily laden with salt, and the noodles are soaked in soy sauce. After eating I drank about one and a half litres of juice. Prices are extortionate. One chicken friend rice is about £8 as well as the chicken, chow mein noodles. I could make more myself for £3 from asda. Chips are double the price and half the portion you would get from a fish & chip shop. For my order, I could have bought seven packets of sirloin beef steaks. I did enjoy the chicken fried rice, and the chicken was very nice in the chow mein, but the amount of Sodium (Salt) was a bit worrying health wise.

Used these a couple of times and enjoyed their food all be it a bit pricey, not sure if that's just the food of the fact you are totally starving by the time you manage to get through to them after constantly trying for over 2 hours of hearing an engaged tone. Great food but really need to sort out your phones as getting through is impossible, so much so we ended up going elsewhere last time.

Just had chicken chow mein and egg fried rice. I waited just over an hour and a half for delivery, make sure you order when it opens or be prepared to wait a while as it's extremely popular, which says it all. Big chunks of tender chicken in a big portion of noodles, mixed together with the egg fried rice is amazing. Food was hot and fresh. I couldn't eat it all and I'm a pretty big eater. I would definitely recommend this place.

Waited 1hr 20 for food to be delivered and when arrived the king prawn chow mein was absolutely like mush. Prawns tiny over cooked and It was disgusting chucked straight in the bin. Curry sauce on wife’s chicken curry stodgy and feel robbed of 18 quid. Horrible does not even come close. Prawn crackers were ok so dining on them it seems...

Usually go to liking on sea road and tried here as they were closed. Last time I have a Chinese on Monday.. The sauces were nice however chicken balls were very dry seems like they were 're heated from yesterday. Prawn crackers where nice.. Don't think will ever return. It's a shame this used to be nice but stopped going a while back as went downhill and doesn't seem like it's got any better.

Seriously wouldn’t eat from here again. Last time we ate here over a year ago it was shocking and thought I’d give it another chance. Ordered curry rice and chips in a carton, and how they managed to get that wrong is beyond me. Chips were stale, rice wasn’t even warm and all clumped together tasted like eating a day old fried rice from the night before and there was mushroom in my curry sauce. Staff aren’t friendly either. Would give it a 0 if I could.

Decided to call in here for a takeaway last night at 8.15. After ordering we waited and waited- listening to staff on phone taking orders for home delivery he was saying 25-40mins. At 9.10 we finally got our order- we live 5 mins away so food should still be hot it was lukewarm and we had to heat it up. The food was lovely as usual but waiting time ridiculous - if we had been told it would be this long would have gone elsewhere. Or maybe if we had requested delivery we would have got food quicker and hotter.

Just had a take out from the East Garden and once again it was excellent. For a change it wasn't for two of us, it was for the family and catered for 7 adults and 3 children. Never been let down by this place, if they do get an order wrong then it's compensated. It's a very popular takeaway and normally it can take a while to ring an order through. We travel over 5 miles to collect our order passing numerous Chinese take outs on the way, that's how highly we rate this place. Keep up the good work!

Had a variety of food from this takeaway about a month ago and it seemed promising, so bought sweet and sour chicken. I rarely leave bad reviews but felt compelled on this occasion. The "chicken" tasted old and was deep fried in batter, although the batter was uncooked inside and the contents of the ball resembled a chicken soup. I wont take a risk again. I still feel sick at the thought of this 14 hours later. I also had some deep fried wan tons which again were tasteless and very greasy. Sorry East Garden
