My wife and I got terrible food poisoning from here last night. Something has gone very wrong. I will avoid at all costs going forward.

We have been using this Chinese takeaway since it opened and won't go anywhere else in Andover. Service is quick and food is always excellent and piping hot. Good menu choice. Something for everyone.

Rude staff, don't care about allergies and will just say they're too busy to check or sort it out even when no one else is there. Owners shout at each other in the kitchen too. Food isn't good quality either. Definitely not worth it and there are better places to go in andover.

I always have the chicken and chips and have so for a long time in my opinion the best in andover and yes I have tried them all well done 👏

Love it. Small takeaway with big meals. Beef chow mein and chicken fried rice make a great combination for a Friday night takeaway before we drive the 1.5 hours back to Somerset at 2030hrs in the evening! Thank you!

Wow... I have never had such an awful Chinese. An apathetic member of staff that took our order. The chicken curry was like jelly and completely inedible. The rest was well below standard! Don't waste your money!

If you're on a diet and don't like chinese food then this is the place to go... Between the lucky dip of raw or soggy chips and the king prawn curry that looks like a newborns baby's nappy and smells like it. Even the waste bin wasn't impressed so had to throw it in a neighbours bin. Yuk... 😩

3 completely different dishes yet all taste the same 🙈 ribs just had a bit of colouring added. I really hope this chewy chicken is actually chicken.... the dogs are going to have a treat tonight!

I've seen this takeaway when visiting local shop/chemist - always looked like it was out of business. Decided to go home and book a meal, oh dear, it was appalling, riddled in grease, beef and black bean sauce was so appalling we couldn't eat it. I so want to support local services/community but seriously they need to be in tune with times and competition..their location is excellent - it just needs a fresh look.... both in menu, prep and presentation in the takeaway and with food.....

I popped in for a special chinese curry, Ribs and chips to take out. The wait, 10 mins, perfect! The food tasted wonderful and it was piping hot when I got home 10 mins later, so well worth a visit !

I used to quite frequently get this. I am a lover off beef chow mein, Now this does amazing beef chow mein but not the best. The chips are lovely, so is the bbq ribs, The wet rice is good. Would recommend this highly.

Was looking forward to my favourite dish Sweet and Sour Chicken Hong Kong Style. Yuk would never go there again, it was bland, no taste whatsoever, there were no vegetables in it and the colour looked horrible. On the plus side the staff were friendly.

First time vist wasn't impressed! I only have a take away once every 6 months, I had chicken curry there was hardly any sauce and only chicken and onions abd there wasn't any flavour. The chips looked and tasted like they been in the chip pan a few times, was disappointed as heard good rieviews. Tried calling but got no where. Dont ever write on these pages buy was really annoyed what I got!!

Tough, chewy chicken, overcooked veg and chips that have clearly been re heated. Would not recommend to anyone that values good Chinese food. If you like bad Chinese food however this is your place!

Tuesday night, and as the local Chinese on weyhill road was closed we thought we would try this place. What a mistake, the food was watery, had no substance to the sauces, and the noodles were so salty. This will be the last time we buy food from here.

On moving to the area we were quite excited about trying our first chinese takeaway. We were so disappointed! Turns out, not all chinese takeaways have tasty food. I ordered beef in black bean sauce (thought it a safe option during pregnancy), which was LOADED with salt. I managed almost half of it, and threw the rest away (and I hate wasting food!). Possibly the worst I've ever had, and this is usually a go to dish for me when trialling an establishment. My husband had their equivalent of Kung Po chicken (can't remember what they called it - we threw the menu out), which is his favourite choice from a chinese takeaway; or at least has been previously; and he felt sick for the next day. Needless to say, we've not been brave enough to try any other chinese restaurants/takeaways in town since. The meat was of a poor quality, and didn't taste right. I know pregnancy can change your taste buds, but I got my husband to taste mine to check it wasn't just that. Not sure if it was old or just poor quality. My advice on eating here is... don't.

Horrible bland food with looks like it's made with left over meat from the day before. There are plenty of nice Chineses in Andover this is not one of them !!!

extremely disappointed, followed the good reviews and made a mistake.... dry burnt ribs, crispy seaweed was thick and soft, rice was hard, sweet & sour had no source... just sticky dry chicken... positive - The owner was pleasant enough and refunded my money.

Been going for years now, never had a problem. Food is always great, sweet and sour chicken balls are amazing and chips are always done to perfection

Stopped on the way home from a long day after spotting the Excelsior next to the Boots previously. Might sound odd but the meal tasted "fresh". Not something you always get from a Chinese takeaway. Plenty of meat in the dishes and the Szechuan Chicken was deliciously spiced. Looks like it will be the new Chinese takeaway of choice in Andover.

We often use this take away and the food is always good. Once in about 25 visits the food was slightly too salt (a frequent problem with Chinese food) but only once. Good value, good and quick service and good food What more can you ask

This is a cut above any other Chinese takeaway in Andover. No MSG, freshly prepared and cooked, tasty food, great price.

Love this place. For me, my favourite Chinese takeaway in town. Unfortunately due to my location (and lifestyle!) change I rarely get a chance to use them. Service is always with a smile.

I have lived in Andover now for 20 years and I have tried every Chinese food take away in the area several times. I have been a customer of the Excelsior for approx. 15 years now and to say it is the best in the area is an understatement. The food is so much better than other take-aways. The couple who run this place are really nice and if you want something slightly different it is not a problem. I have noticed most of the menus for similar take away are the same but here it is different with an extended choice of Chef Recommendations and Thai food. You can even get Poppadum’s if you want them! I would recommend this place to all, I have tried most of the menu and would recommend any of the Thai dishes, any of the Chef Recommendations like the “happy family” or the “Merry Paradise” The lemon/Orange Chicken, The chow Mein and the curry dishes are great.Keep up the good work Excelsior and I am so glad to list this place on Trip Advisor!

Ready to collect perfectly on time, the chips are really good - but that’s it. All bland and for some reason there was sweet and sour sauce in the duck chow mein. 🤮

This has been our regular for years but it’s gone downhill recently. My adult kids went down for their order a few weeks ago and were told they’d ordered burgers and had to pay for them (we didn’t even know they did burgers)! It was sorted out in the end and the food was fine. Decided to try again last Saturday. The ribs were awful and worst of all they didn’t bother to put the lids on properly on two tubs of lemon sauce which was hot! It went all over my son’s lap in the car and on the seat and we had to wipe down all the food containers when they got back. It was disgusting. That’s it I’m afraid. Time to find a new one.

I ordered a takeaway and foid arrived we noticed the food stale and reheated. When I called to complain the person on phone was not interested at all and said I didn't cook the food. Sure bad customer service. I won't ever use again.

Went in for food on a Saturday evening, didn't book and was told there were no tables but they could fit us in (despite being there for an hour and there still being free tables during our visit) the staff were pushing for us to get the buffet and didn't give us hardly any time to choose otherwise. It would have probably been beneficial to go for a set menu instead because not only would it have been cheaper but also you can take your food home (the buffet is no waste no take away) the starters were pretty good, and came out quickly but the mains were disappointing. Also a quick warning if you a pint of beer here they will charge you for two bottles! We paid £16 for two pints! The car park is pretty small and the cost of the overall meal was too much for what it was. Wouldn't go here again.
