Been using Fais for over 15yrs. Always top Notch food, yes sometimes you have to wait for your food but that's down to how good the food is. Will always be 1st call.

I have lived in NE29 all my life. It was the 1st trying Fia's Kitchen. I ordered the £15.50 munch box. It was so delicious, you got loads in the box. Well worth the money. I will not be using anywhere else now.

Actually terrible, most bland tasteless chinese food ive ever ate. Onion was raw in Salt and chilli dishes, there was no spice to any of the chilli dishes actually…..or salt. Ordered chips and gravy….had to add salt. Lesson learnt, never again

Ordered from Fais for years and loved it. However, our meal tonight was disgusting. The chips were so hard they were inedible, the king prawn curry was mostly mushrooms and overall meal was very greasy. Won’t be returning.

Used to order from here years ago but found somewhere else closer to home. Unfortunately, the one we changed to has now been taken over and the food is horrible! We changed back to Fais, in the hope that the food was still good. Just got a takeaway (collection) and it was delicious.

Waited 80 minutes for it to arrive, which I wouldn't mind but the food was really dissapointing. Chowmein had a thick layer of fat on the top that was seeping out the foil container, chicken balls were greasy and coated in raw batter, not to mention how over priced it all was....Would avoid!

During nearly 5 months of lockdown had not had a take away and passed by Fai’s tonight to find it open Ordered sweet and sour chicken with boiled rice On getting it home it was hot, which is good, however it contained lots of tiny strips of battered chicken and overall not a lot of chicken to it! Sauce was mediocre too a bit of al ost raw green pepper, some onions and a little pineapple Very very disappointed For the £8.10 price Will give this a miss and goback to Mandarin in Wallsend

Ordered a chow mien for home delivery after viewing the numerous food reviews .. wait time was, as expected on a Saturday, around an 1 hour and 30 .. price was higher than any other we use and so we assumed this would reflect in the food WRONGFood was totally bland, the chicken was tasteless and we still haven’t fathomed how chicken can be cut so thinly (almost transparent) the noodles were also bland, with a tiny amount of bean sprouts, and this was clearly shoved on top with no soy sauce and not mixed in at all .. there was soggy lettuce leaves throughout and it was really not nice at all .. All in all would never use again NO STARS

even though it was over an hr wait which was stated to me i had no issues in waiting as i believe the food is worth waiting for, i must however admit i was expecting maybe something to be a bit on the cold side but all i can say is that im very impressed and never fail to dissapoint me, if i did have any comments not really a bad thing, i just think the chips are a little over done for my liking, but thats just personal preference but as for everything else, chicken and sweet corn soup amazing, chicken curry full of flavour and great spice, amazing for the hangover cure, just never fail for me and sweet and sour chicken, its the only place i love the sweet and sour sauce ! and piping hot !

Ordered our food, came with one dish missing, and also came with the wrong sauce which I don't like the sauce they put in! Had plated my food up then realised they missed a dish, can't eat without the sauce as too dry, called up and told them they had made a mistake! Had to call again when realised they made a mistake with the sauce too! Half an hour later my food is stone cold and my sauce and other dish still not turned up!! Shocking service! Full meal ruined now!
