Eastern Star Chinese Takeaway in Newcastle upon Tyne

Absolutely beautiful food with quick delivery. would definitely recommend

My last review of this place 5 years ago was very different from the one I'm about to write. This is now my favourite Chinese takeaway. They don't deliver to me but I'm happy to collect because it's absolutely lush. We usually get the large machine box, which is £16 but we add noodles for an extra £2 and always choose curry sauce to go with it. Last time I ordered, I added Honey Chilli spare ribs and an extra curry sauce with fresh chilli and garlic added. We also ordered 2 cans of coke and it was only £28.80!! BARGAIN. The ribs were missive and very meaty. The sauce was beautiful!! If you like it spicy, adding fresh green chilli and garlic to your curry sauce is a must!! They always add it as per my request!! The munchies box comes with MASSIVE chicken batter balls, salt and chilli pepper chips, salt and chilli pepper chicken, vegetable spring rolls, salt and pepper chicken, fried rice and any sauce of your choice. There's enough food for at least 4 people 😋😋

Best Chinese around the area . always red hot and loads of flavour wouldn't go anywhere else

Ordered the munch box. Great value for money. Chicken balls were a bit over cooked and too crispy for my liking but everything else was great.

Absolutely lovely hot fresh food

Absolutely amazing food as always and even tho pineapple fritters weren’t on the menu they still made them with a simple request in the notes thank you

First time ordering from here and I must say I will be ordering again!! Food arrived on time, hot and the portion sizes were incredible.

Food was amazing as always but why is the pineapple fritter still of the menu

Best place for a munchie box won’t get better than here for one

We did not get the extra noodles we ordered

Great food value for money and friendly delivery service

Hot on arrival, quality of the food was great, good size potions will definitely order again

Lovely food, although would’ve been nicer if the chicken curry had of been hot on delivery but all in all I would recommend Eastern Star

Pre-ordered and the food arrived bang on time. chicken fried rice from here is the best I've had in a while and the Cantonese chicken is lovely. Will definitely order again 😊

very nice crispy chicken and beef recommend !

Our favorite Chinese Takeaway. Everything spot on

most of it went in the bin ,chicken was like cardboard chips cold the gravy I could of slice it, never again

food cold and tasteless ..salt and Pepper chicken was more coating couldn't taste any chicken at all , chips definitely undercooked

Definitely order again delicious

Food very very overcooked to the point of inedible

I order every Saturday. but this week had my young grandaughter stay.she ordered chicken egg foo Yung . wouldn't eat it as it had lots of mushrooms in.. (should not have them in) otherwise I would have ordered chicken + mushroom .and she can't eat mushroom. NOT HAPPY

Piping hot and delicious as always

John wood the driver excellent friendly service

Won’t find a better place for a munch box unreal

ordered at 18.30pm first promised at 18.55-19.20pm food then promised for 19.55-20. 20pm. poor service from delivery side. not good service disappointed with service

First time ordering and food was amazing!

The rice and curry very dry hardly any curry sauce in it quite poor had better ribs wasn’t tender and the spring rolls were very greasy

another exceptional order tonight, food was tasty and fresh, delivery time was abit long but to be expected on NYE, food was delivered within delivery time frame given

Delicious good quality food thank you

Great food good portion size and delivery service

What a joke waited over a hour rang up to be told it's a 100 minute wait, who waits 1hours and 40 mins for a takeaway timewasters

Wasn’t good at all. I don’t understand how people are leaving 5star reviews. It’s one of the worst Chinese I’ve had! It also said 45-50mins for delivery that changed and it took nearly 2hours! Was freezing cold and was not nice at all. Won’t be returning

Only issue with the Mixed Vegetables Oyster Sauce dish. - Bamboo shoot smells nasty - visual appearance is very bland - dish is made up of sliced button mushrooms, onion peels, cabbage ends and bean sprouts. Where is the Vegetables (green)?

delivery driver was so rude that I told them to come and take the food back, paying for a service to then have someone braying on my window and talking to me like sh*te still haven't been refunded the £40 for food I never ate

Delicious as always. Kids really enjoyed it too. The salt and chilli prawns are a firm favourite!

Always great food from here - never dissappoint.

it's the best sweet and sour I've had in a long time no wonder I order nearly week

Odered a few hours ahead for a 7pm delivery, food arrived on time, hot and good portion size, food was delcious, would defo order again

The bigger issue is with Just Eat themselves rather than the food vendor in this case. Raised an issue with the order and received appalling customer service thereafter from Just Eat given the nature of the issue raised. Will not order via Just Eat again.

Great food pipping hot. The only down fall was that the food we got were in cardboard container so food stuck to the top. But would recommend.

very nice food but the 2hours wait time

Food ready on time. No curry sauce in order. Everything else was fine.

Took an hour and a half for delivery but this was expected.the food is normally superb but this evening was a big let down as food tasted like it had been reheated

Very tasty, nice and fresh and noodles just right, (I hate over cooked noodles) would recommend and will order again.

Munchie box absolutely unreal so worth the money and the best place for a munchie box wouldn’t go anywhere else highly recommend

great food 😋 great speedy service definitely recommend

Disappointed tonight rice was dry , house chow main not nice at all cheap meats totally tasteless usually order a lot from here think give it a miss from now

fantastic food always definitely recommend

One of the best Chinese I’ve had. Food was so fresh and tasty

Took nearly 2 hours to come and the food was very dry

It's the best munchie box I've had & the hong kong sweet n sour is the best I've eva hsd

Food nice and hot, very tasty and Cooke great.

Never a bad take away from here! Delish!

it was delivered on time but it still took 1 and half hours to deliver. if i knew that it was going to take so long i wouldnt have used the restuarant. feel let down as if i knew how long it would take for delivery before i pressed the button to order then i wouldnt have bothered.

best munchie box and BBQ sauce in the north east

So good, every time! Would highly recommend giving them a try!

1st time ordering from eastern star, delivery was quick, food piping hot and tasted lovely

Beautiful food how I have not been here before , delivery super quick

Amazing Chinese! Never disappointed.

Fast preparation, we collected. Very tasty.

Outstanding, once you try you back again and again.

Salt and pepper chicken was dry and burnt and the ribs were dry and burnt as well

Food is always exceptional, and feels more authentic than other takeaways. Never had a bad experience.

Great quality, portion size and speedy delivery, will use this takeaway again 👍

Hot and Sour Soup great again! The main meals could do with being a little hotter and also chips in carton were all squashed so maybe a foil tray or plastic in future. Overall tasty!

Best chinese ive had in a long time

The Hot and Sour Soup is the best I have had in so long!!! The Sait and Pepper chicken was lovely and spicy - chips a little cold but that’s the only down fall.

Excellent service all round food lovely

Best Chinese in Newcastle, never had a bad meal.

The food is really tasty huge portions and lots of meat will not go anywhere else

20 qwid scran and it was spot on , got the rest for lata aswell, that'll de me

Great food, hot and great portion size

Really tasty food - delivered quickly so nice and hot too.

Not enough sauce with the all in one container so noodles under the chips were very very dry

im a regular customer as its always on time...correct...tasty

Delivery driver was incredibly friendly. The food was piping hot and delicious. Can’t recommend enough

Food didn’t really have much flavour, delivery was around about 1 hour 45 mins

Food was incredible always order from here and it’s always hot and delicious, never had a bad order

Really used to like this takeaway - always lovely food delivered very quickly However today this was not the case. Food ordered at 18:40 not delivered until almost 20:47 - really poor communication blaming drivers. Had to ring twice to chase up.?If no drivers available then either cancel order or give customer option of continuing with purchase. Came so late we were no longer hungry Real shame

Haven’t ate a Chinese takeaway in a couple of year, due to poor quality. Decided to dip my toes in again tonight and I was not disappointed. Fantastic food. Those prawn sweet and sour balls are amazing. Quality of meat in the chow Mein was outstanding. Will definitely be getting again. Thank you very much

Excellent food would highly recommend

Addicted to the salt n chilli Or salt n pepper dishes. No where else compares. 💯👍

We have been going to eastern star Chinese takeaway for over a year now after being recommended by a friend. We now order weekly and we have never been left disappointed.. even on the busy weekends nights the food quality never falters and is always amazing. Delivery times are normally accurate and sometimes even slightly earlier.. we have collected on occasion also and staff are welcoming and friendly. Overall 10/10 perfect takeaway every time!!

we have used many fast food place and chinese etc but ive got to say that Easternstar is by far the best place to order from always very tasty always hot delivered on time respect to the chef and all his staff 100 percent Simply the best will always use

Love the food and never disappoint food and service

really enjoyed the food as always but ordered chow mein from the appertisers and got rice instead. these things happen so. didn't spoil it . still my favourite Chinese restaurant

i have always used another chinise until i decided to change to Eastern star, i kid you not the food is amazing every single time. The staff are always lovely on the phone and always cook to my preferences, wouldn’t go anywhere else now.

chicken was like jelly chips must of been reheated a few times dry and hard and the ribs hardly any meat just big lumps of fat never again 25 round down the drain.

Munch box was lovely, delivered early piping hot, absolutely loads of food and nice big bits of chicken,the ribs were full of meat and the rice was fresh. Good value for money and the delivery driver was spot on.

Food arrived early and was fantastic. 5/5

Chips were not cooked and there wasn't a lot of them. Paid extra for noodles that were very dry and were not the nicest. Other than that i enjoyed it

Great food never had any bad food

This is the 1st and last time I will be ordering with eastern star. Quality of food was terrible. Lemon chicken the chicken was not fresh and the same with the honey chilli chicken! Batter on the chicken was disgusting! Chips look like they were reheated

Food was amazing, will order from here again

Food was not very nice went in the bin

Food was great but took 2 hours to arrive, never known anything like it.

Always fantastic food, fast delivery and piping hot 5*

House special curry two of the meats was just Grizzle,

Usually very nice from here but the munchie box this time was inedible. Far too much chilli on the majority of the munchie box. Highly disappointed
