Fulwood Chinese in Preston

First time ordering from this takeaway, we ordered for collection and was told it would be ready to collect at 10:53pm. We arrived to pick it up at 10:47 and it was shut! They don’t shut until 11! We rang the shop, knocked on the door, and even though we could hear people inside nobody came to the door and we did NOT get any food. Disappointed

I messaged for an update just after it should of arrived and they messaged straight back with the new time and an apology. The food was lovely and also hot as always.

First time there, won't be going again, asked for king prawn with tomato and chips, chips not fresh and very dry, asked for sweet and sour sauce to dip chips in, £1.50 for can of pop, got home and they had put the sweet and sour in with the prawns, very overpowering. Chucked it out. Never again.

Awful food. It is usually nice from here but was really disappointed with it this time. Went in the bin.

Very tasty and fresh vegetable dishes. Nice curry. Prawns tasteless and lack any flavour. I expect nothing short of exceptional when I’ve paid an extortionate £88 on food for 3 people 😮

Food came and was cold and soggy, rung 3x to be told it was on its way each time

Delicious food. Excellent fast delivery.

Got the munch box delicious twenty minutes early nice and hot the chicken was delicious plenty for two people thank you

Waited an hour for delivery, called to be told it’s going to be another hour , said the road was busy earlier ( ordered at 9pm so not sure what’s that’s got to do with it , then said foods not made year , then said had no driver ??

Excellent tasty food with great service

Not good or tasty. Very little Chinese about it. Chicken tasted horrible and just clumps of meat! I was actually ill all night from either the chicken or the prawns.

Driver was 25 minute delivering food said was stuck in traffic at 8pm. Laughed when he got to door as id chased order up. Food was basically stone cold. Couldn’t be reheated so we wasted it the only thing edible was the rice. The food was flavoured well but too cold to eat. A shame as iv never had an issue with this Chinese personally. The issue is the just eat driver.

Best Chinese food I’ve ever had, food was hot, seem to be becoming a regular here

By far the worst Chinese food that has ever past my lips

Nice food. All enjoyed. Quite expensive tho.

Not ordered from here before but definitely will again. There was a mistake with my order but after ringing up the correct item was sent over really quickly. All the food was delicious!

Was apprehensive about ordering with the mixed bag of reviews but can honestly say we really enjoyed our meals. Won’t mark down for delivery charge as it’s my choice to proceed with that. Quick delivery.

It was really lovely food would order again

Pros- following multiple orders we are very pleased. We like an array of Chinese dish’s and these have always met our expectations and it’s been delicious. They always get order correct and read notes. Food Packaged well also. Cons- quite expensive as is most places but these charge £5 delivery which is a bit steep. £75 for meals for 2 adults / 1 child, so can only be an occasional treat. King prawns sometimes tasteless as if excess water in them. Overall superb! One of the best.

All delicious. No problem with order.

Didn’t have the prawn crackers I paid for though

Absolutely disgusting chicken chow mein refuse to believe the right recipe was put in my order everything was all soggy

They gave me the wrong main dish, everything else on the order ok.

Overall good quality food, and fast delivery.

Ordered pork and got chicken. Also £4.50. For such a small portion of chips. Scandalous.

Never received our order and when rang to find out staff was rude and food was cancelled

Food was freezing. Chicken was chewy and the duck was nothing but bone. Very disappointing

Food wasn’t that great especially for the price I gave it one star for delivery because its £5 for delivery on Just Eat, I use another Chinese it’s just as expensive, but the portions are about a third bigger. I won’t be these guys.

Great service and food was delicious 😋

Lovely food although pricey. Only disappointment is can’t order drinks??

Ordered 4 different meals all enjoyed with no complaints. Please add drinks to menu.

I got the muchy box and it was awful. Everything overcooked and therefore dry and chewy. Hugely disappointing! I picked at it then threw it away. This used to be the best Chinese in fulwood but it’s awful now.

Dry, ribs had nothing on them & we’re so over cooked. Nothing had any flavour. Was literally filled with cheap frozen popcorn chicken bites! Absolute waste of money!!!

tasty food, delivered hot and on time. Will be using again.

Food was perfect, hot and fresh will definitely order again

The dumplings were horrible and the special fried rice had tiny bits of meat and prawns possibly the worst Chinese takeout l have had to top it all it was Luke warm

Absolutely fab food every time we come, fast friendly service

Foods always good here highly recommend

Food is very tasty but don't order the munchy box, 1/3rd is chips very poor value for money, the picture is before I had eaten any, a few years ago these where far better.

Munchies box .. Worse box I've had , Totally over the top with the salt , Heart attack in a box . Terrible , Waste of money ..

Shocking service. We will never use them again. You are putting fulwood to shame.

Good food but the prices seem to change every other week, you can order the same thing and be charged differently each time.

We ordered from here tonight.. The food itself isn't terrible but the prices are extortionate for what you get.. I'm wanting a bit of money back to be honest. Not ordering from here again. Food needs more work and the portion sizes are not a good sharing size for a family of 4 reflective of the price..

Very nice, bit expensive but you get a decent amount.

I always have the HONEY SPARE RIBS - They are Truly amazing every time! My Partner gets SWEET & SOUR CHICKEN (with NO Onions) The Ribs always come with lots of meat on (you get between 6 & 7 Ribs! Very tasty & very filling. * ONLY 1 disappointment is their CHIPS (French Fries)… They are SERVED IN A BOX… So by the time you get them home… they are ‘Soggy & Luke Warm’ REMEDY: I go home via ‘Noblett’s Chippy’ & buy a large portion of ‘proper’ CHIPS from there instead… (Not a problem, as they are just around the corner)

The last couple of orders have been really disappointing, tonight we waited and hour over our delivery time. My chicken fried rice was bland and stodgy as was my sons egg fried rice. The sweet and sour chicken sauce was was the only part of the order we ate that had taste.

An unusual Chinese takeaway with a good range of vegetarian options. The mock chicken in curry sauce was very good. There was a muddle with our order but they sorted it out quickly.

Disappointing, soggy wet undercooked chips, chicken old and chewy, only thing that was ok was the rice

My regular Chinese takeaway not found somewhere that matches the food quality. Not thrilled at the price increase though.

Not great The meat in the dishes is slimy the fried rice needs more soy and more flavour and far too expensive

Thought I'd get a Chinese for once. New Fulwood Chinese. Worst one I've ever had. It was ready within 2-3 minutes of ordering it! I knew I was in for it. It was ready faster than I could boil my kettle. My curry sauce was missing, the chips were like cardboard. My veg spring rolls tasted like soap. The missus' special fried rice was tasteless and her honey BBQ ribs were dry. All in the bin.

Quick, efficient and darn good food.

I decided to try Fulwood because of the reviews and try somewhere new to my usual place (Red Bean, who are pretty good). I can say I was not disappointed. Firstly, I was told the delivery would take 45 mins, it came in 10mins, maybe because it was a early Monday evening. The food arrived lovely and hot, freshly cooked and very tasty. We ordered Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings, King Prawn Fried Rice (which I was shocked at the portion size), chips and curry sauce and it was all really nice, went for a basic choice but will definitely try the dim-sum and other dishes next time. Look forward to our next visit, thank you for the yummy food!

A firm favourite of my family’s. Food is always spot on :)

This takeaway was good some time back but the food now is not as it used to be.Special fried rice was greasy and the ingredients looked and tasted past their best.Curry sauce was very very salty and medicinal tasting.We didn't finish our meals.Overpriced at £18.50 for two basic meals.Awful!!!

Was great for a short while, but really not great now, chef change maybe. Food is bland and cooked in old oil. Second time in the last few months we have tried and been disappointed. No more!

Ok very busy but the food is good.

Food is stone cold every time I’ve ordered. Absolutely awful Should be embarrassed

Been going on and off for 30 years, first owners always full 5 stars, then food went downhill a bit with next owners so stopped going, happy to report that it's back up to 5 stars. Awesome food, recommended.

Great chinese food, fast service

The sweet and sour chicken balls where more like popcorn chicken and very dry the sweet and sour sauce very watery the chips barely warm and whatever sauce they used in the house special chow mien was making me feel like I was going to throw up had a couple of bites had to throw the rest in the bin will not be going back ever, worst Chinese we have ever had!!

I would give it less than 1 star if we could, the chips were slimy. The meat tasted off in the dishes and Me and My partner have both been ill since eating it. NEVER AGAIN!!!

It’s just ok - decent portions and well enough presented but it didn’t taste freshly cooked. The Salt & Pepper chicken tasted like meat that had been freezer to fridge prior reheating and the Special Fried rice didn’t have a lot of meat and, what was there, was again a bit tired, chewy and reheated. Not been for a while, gave it another go but I think that will be the last time - it’s not terrible but it’s just not special & there are better options

Just had a meal from here the food was amazing always wonder about trying somewhere new but no worries fantastic food

Excellent food & service. A true authentic Chinese! 😁

Great food. Friendly service. Excellent portion sizes and food delivery too.

Lovely food and very efficient service.

Great Food & Service..... if you are picking up food in person.... delivery service needs addressing.... have twice been delivered the wrong food ordered!!

Just tried this for the first time and it was excellent, will definitely be going back.

Haven't visited this takeaway for several years. It was always a reliablely, great alternative to eating out or even cooking. Tonight's takeout will be the last one I buy from here. Ordered a squid special and a basic chicken curry. They both went in the bin. The curry tasted like a cook in sauce and the squid was just greasy. The Prawn Crackers were fine but the bag was half the size of other outlets. So dissapointed.

Amazing Food can’t recommend highly enough

Great food, really tasty and fresh!

Absolutely stunned at how good this place is then found out it is run by the same family who own Tang so not so surprised! We ordered Salt & Pepper Chicken Wings & Peking Spare Ribs to start. Both were very good, the wings were to die for, crispy with a slight chilli kick. Lemon Chicken & Spiced Beef in a Chilli Oil Sauce with fried rice for mains. Rice was light and fluffy not brown and oily like most takeaway rice and the portions were very generous. Lemon Chicken was on point with firm, crispy chicken pieces in a zingy sauce that wasn't over thick and gloopy like it can be. Spiced beef was delicious with a kick and freshly fried, crisp vegetables. We can't recommend this place enough and I can actually understand the bad reviews below from those who went to the old place who now don't like it because this now a takeaway doing proper Chinese food and not the anglicised, MSG laden dishes 9 out of 10 places serve up and people have been accustomed to. I really can't see any other Chinese in Preston bettering this place, beautiful!

Tried this last night for the first time and was shocked at how good the quality of the food was. Delicious, large portions and no MSG. The veg and meat were of good quality, nothing was greasy, gloopy or glucose syrupy as we've experienced with many others. The sides came in tidy cartons. This is the first Chinese takeaway in Preston we've really rated for a very long time. Very impressed and will definitely be using again!

I've eaten from this takeaway various times and every time I have been very happy with the food and how fast it is made. It stays warm for a long time and is very delicious. Highly recommended.

Lovely food from here last night .large portions .will definitely order again

Waste of money! The food was completely tasteless and will not be returning! Absolutely awful Chinese!

Disgusting , cold and food is completely tasteless! Won’t b going again!

Had a home delivery for the 1st time last night from this takeaway. Excellent service, delicious hot food. This will be my no1 Chinese go to place in future.

Called here as my usual takeaway was closed. I have to say I was not disappointed. The service was excellent, food is cooked in an open kitchen in front of you. The portions were so big I had it for lunch the next day as well!!!A bit out of my way but will definitely visit again.

Recently ordered for collection from here, not the best I’ve had but also not the worse I’ve had either. I may try it again in the future.

EXCELLENT service great service

Really good i ordered salt and pepper chips and pork fried rice with curry sauce Only issue i found the chips were too salty at the bottom But loved it all huge portions tasted fresh would recommend

1 star is far to much for this place, this was probably the best Chinese takeaway in the northwest! I used to be a regular here for 15 years, the curry was absolutely delicious but now it’s disgusting, I keep clinging on to the hope that the chengs will buy the business back and show this lot what proper Chinese food is all about, please please please come back Mr an Mrs cheng we miss you

Thought we would try this Chinese, prawn crackers were very good, chicken fried rice had boiled chicken in, chow mein was ok but thin noodles but flavour was nice, curry was quite bland, could tell it was made from powder.

been completely redone.. now a big open kitchen and food is a real step up.. food was as good as anything on preston

Absolutely loved the meal we purchased.Chicken fried rice,chicken curry and salt and pepper chicken.It is clean and also can see the chefs cooking it.Highly recommend.It has new owners.

I have been going to hardcastle road chinese for a number of years the food has always been great. My first visit in over a few months,the staff are very friendly but unfortunately the food is below average and very salty for the quality of the food the price range is not very reasonable either. I don't think this will be no longer one of my favourites..

Simple efficient service and excellent food. After many years of coming here we’ve honed our choices and are always impressed. It is being refurbished in September for the first time in 20+ years so we are looking forward to the new look and possibly new menu.

This used to be the best takeaway by miles. It’s obviously changed hands and unfortunately even though we have given more than one chance, the food is nowhere near as good as it used to be, in fact the last time we ordered we ended up throwing most of it away. Won’t be ordering again.

Got my order wrong for the second time, promised a free replacement for the items which totalled £8.00+, just rang up then for my order, and they said they can’t do the replacement but they can do a can of Coke. Used to be really good, never going again. Foods not that great anymore too

Not a nice chinese now, it was good but they must have changed their chef. Will wait a few months and hope they get a new chef.

Amazing Chinese have it loads can't fault it.. My personal opinion is best in preston

This place used to be awesome but since new owners in 2018 it is not to be recommended. Cannot speak English properly and after 22 years of us going there we will not return. Bye bye

This used to be one of the best Chinese take aways in Preston. It has obviously changed hands as the food is now inedible. Had to throw the whole lot in the bin. The chicken was disgusting and the noodles tasted of old oil. Never again.

Was 5 star but staff changed. Food is now good but not great as it was previously. Service has recently gone steeply downhill. Current counter staff seem unable to cope, unruly toddler behind counter, order taker confusing orders, leaving phone customers on hold for several minutes, etc. Gave up on ordering by phone tonight and gone somewhere else instead. Disappointed!!!

Great Chinese takeaway. I have been going here for years. Always tasty.

Fantastic value, quick service and always friendly.

You get loads of food. It's fabulous

Large portions and reasonably priced but neither of us enjoyed our dishes. Judging by the queue it is popular, maybe just us.
