Garstang Chop Suey House in Wyre

I’ve done a good few reviews of Garstang Chop Suey & fair to say it’s a bit of a mixed bag, with some good reviews & some not so good. Takeaway tonight was absolutely shocking, ordered Char Siu Schezuan (see photo). Supposed to be bbq pork? Well I don’t know what this was but it certainly wasn’t barbecued, normally char siu is packed with taste, this was anaemic looking meat, zero taste & the sauce was really poor too. I think I’m going to have to find another Chinese takeaway, this place just doesn’t deliver consistently good food to warrant my coin. I’m afraid this is now an ‘avoid at all cost’ rating from me.

Great food and service. We phoned through our order and it was ready in 10 minutes, which was how long it took to get there and pick up. They don't deliver and it's cash only, but it was worth it. Thank you

Having moved to the area 6 months ago, we’ve tried every Chinese takeaway in the area and we’ve been really disappointed. Thank goodness we finally found this takeaway. The food is lovely, reasonably priced and a great selection

Ordered a chop suey not too happy as only received the suey it was tasty though

Place order by phone at 7pm, was told it would be 20 mins. Arrived after 20 minutes, I was order number 20, just as o got to the counter number 15 was collected. I knew at this point I was in for a bit of a wait….. So at 8pm my order was ready, 40 minutes late! Why say it was 20 minutes when clearly it wasn’t going to be that quick, just be honest & save on so many people hanging about. The food was pretty good to be fair, but the wait had taken the edge off the experience. Also it’s cash only……….

Had the special fried rice on the recommendation of a friend. Excellent thanks definitely one of the best around

My go to!!! Very quick service and great staff, very tasty in my opinion!

Crispy wings were lovely. Won ton good. All hot and freshly cooked.

We gave just had our Chinese, it was so dry I couldn't eat it, this ust to be a good Chinese what has happened to it

Seems to be very hit & miss here. Duck spring rolls, rubbish, half in the bin Veg spring rolls, average Crispy salt & pepper beef, not too bad. Chips nice.

We ordered a pick up meal. Special chow mein. Chips. Chicken curry. Fried rice. The curry was gelatinous the beef in the chow mein was raw. The chips tasted like they had been there all day. Very peed off after working all day on the farm! Rang to complain and was offered another chow mein! Never again.

I only ordered one portion of half rice/half chips with curry sauce, which I have had from here in the past (and was usually excellent), but - this order barely had any curry sauce and the chips were by far the worst chips I have had in my 57 years. They were cold and hard. Most were inedible. Definitely not fresh cooked. How old they were will remain a mystery. Have you ever tried to reheat chips left over from the day before? They tasted like that. Hard and chewy.

Best chinese takeaway I have been too. Always go here when staying in garstang. No complaints abouts anything I have had from here. Even the chips are delicious.

Phoned up for take-out and I explained that my father is gluten intolerant. The takeaway seemed sketchy of being aware of this allergy and left me hanging whilst they had a discussion away from the phone and when they returned I explained that gluten intolerance is an allegy to wheat, flour, barley, etc. They were ambiguous about whether their dishes were or were not gluten free stating, "I am not sure." This is of course in contravention of the law after the Pret-A-Manger tragedy as cuisine providers are required to be able to give accurate allegy information regarding their offerings. No chance here and obviously we were not going to risk it and thus curtailed our plans. So no food, wasted time and a deeply unsatisfactory experience.... one star.

Busy Saturday night (We’d pre ordered). Mixed Hors d'oeuvre to start, pretty good all round, seaweed very nice. Shared mains, Cantonese crispy beef, sweet & sour chicken, fried rice, salt & pepper chips, all very good, good portion & plenty of meat content. Meal was ready spot on time too. Also has five star food hygiene rating.

Bland food 6 out of 8 people that ate aswell ended up sick so not the best

I think this is one of the better Chinese takeaways in Garstang. The portions are more substantial than some of the others, and I've never had cause to complain about the quality of the food. It has never disappointed me so far, and the prices are reasonable. I always enjoy a meal bought from here.

really nice food and good value compared to alternatives.

Food was all dry. Rice was crispy. Crab soup had crab stick instead of grab meat. Won't go agai.

I think it’s a good Chinese, sweet and sour chicken nice

Never had a bad takeaway here. Always piping hot, very tasty & good-sized portions.

Love this place owners are great, munchie box is fantastic. We've been eating from here since we moved a year ago and has always been great ☺️

We used to use this Chinese all the time when we lived closer & tonight as we were in the area thought we would pay a visit , We had never had a bad takeaway before & tonight was no exception! Great food , excellent quick service & friendly staff , ( cash only payment) definitely be back again.

Last couple of visits I’ve given 3 stars, much better this time round. Salt & pepper ribs, good size portion & plenty of meat on the ribs, seasoning spot on. Crispy chilli steak & fried rice, excellent. Glad to see it’s improved as we do struggle to find a good Chinese in Garstang, on the back of this visit, we will be back!

Having ordered from here for the first time, we were massively disappointed straight away, looking at and smelling this meal, before even tasting it. We ordered very little thank god, Still costing near £25 they insisted I pay cash, they DO NOT TAKE CARD PAYMENTS We ordered Special chow mein, Chili chips and a lemon Chicken. It looked and smelt nothing like we have ever ordered before, from anywhere! Chow mein looked fatty and sloppy, tasting this confirmed our initial thoughts, it tasted like a hot curry and looked nothing like a freshly made chow mien. Our Lemon chicken was equally disappointing, the chicken was, pop corn chicken, onions soaked in a very runny sauce, that tasted nothing like lemon sauce. SEE PICTURES Chili chips tasted and looked like cheap nasty budget chips, and there so called Chili, was a mix of onions added to the chips. very amusing, but What a joke! Our local take away, and many others we have tried over the years, in various towns and cities, Is usually one chicken breast, sliced, with a rich, thick lemon sauce. NOT POPCORN CHICKEN, ONIONS and a very POOR ATTEMPT AT MAKING LEMON SAUCE (SQUEEZE A LEMON OVER THE CHICKEN) Prawn crackers were free, WITH NO ONIONS WOW!! this side we did eat, because we were hungry. £25 for prawn crackers, is a little excessive though, the rest of the meal was thrown into the bin, without hesitation. Onion and slop lovers, if you like this, then you well catered for IF LOCALS HAVE TO EAT THIS SH** THEN I REALLY DO FEEL SORRY FOR YOU ALL!! YUK!!

For the second time in a row we have found foreign hairs in our order the first time my daughter found a black hair in the chips and the following time I found a long black hair in my salt and pepper chicken wings we decided not to finish the takeaway, safe to say I will not be ordering from here again.

Good food, good value for money

The best Chinese on garstang highstreet.

All a bit underwhelming to be honest. The food was ok, but no more than that. The crispy duck was the highlight. Spring rolls poor, hardly any filling. Salt & pepper chicken, just a bit odd, chicken was coated in breadcrumbs & a bit hard.

The most disgusting tasteless chinese I have ever eaten, sorry tasted as didn’t eat it. Never had a chowmein, chopsuey and fried rice made with gravy!! Curry sauce was watery and tasteless a waste of £23

Not to bad. Open on a Tuesday which was unexpected!

Normally a massive Indian food fanatic, so not had a Chinese for ages. Just fancied a change, so thought why not. Well what a great decision. I only come up to Garstang seasonally as I have a caravan up here. Indian may still be my first choice, this place is now second choice. I had special fried rice with S&S sauce. One of my colleagues has just what's app me with ' Best he has ever had'. The only reason I only gave 4 stars was the chicken slices on top where a little tough, but the rest was great. Good portion size.

Very good and taste services is good if they say 10 minutes it will be 10 minutes 👍

Given Garstang Chop Suey 5 stars on each of last two visits. Afraid this time wasn’t so good! BBQ ribs to start, not a BBQ sauce, more like a honey sauce, too sweet, lack of meat on ribs & not much taste. Main I had Salt & Pepper Special, some bits too hard to eat, tasteless. Hope this was just a poor night!

Was a little worried about ordering having seen some of the reviews, I shouldn’t have! Salt & pepper ribs, excellent I had crispy beef, very good. One of party had king prawn chow mein, literally had a dozen king prawns in it! Chips really nice! Nothing was left of the 6 dishes we had. Good sized portions. Ordered by phone & it was ready spot on time, prices ok too. We will return

Still best chinese in Garstang 👍

Absolutely disgusting omg! how can they get away with this food it's not even fresh salty plz do not bother

Always a good feed and reasonably priced

Reccomend the salt and pepper box. Great value for money and taste amazing.

We use this takeaway around once a month. We always look forward to the food as it is consistently good.

First visit to Garstang Chop Suey. Was put off a bit by the bad reviews but I wouldn’t worry if you are looking at those too! We had salt & pepper ribs, plentiful & tasty. Crispy chilli beef, very good, spring rolls, good size portion, fried rice, chips & curry, All very good. £15, great value!!

It is OK especially if you are hungry, it is no better and no worse than any other Chinese takeaway in Garstang.

Stopped off on the way home from a day trip. Only wanted chips but the menu was quite varied. Seemed popular with the locals as it was very busy

food really hot when we picked up

We have been loads of times to this takeaway and never had a bad meal and we are fussy eaters! The latest reviews shock me and I wonder if they know each other and want to spoil a great business???! We always order for about 8 adults so have various dishes.

We were only passing through, having a quick drink outside the royal oak, saw the chippy and plenty of people going in and out, so thought we would have a like treat of a chop suey roll each. Ordered 1 veg and 1 meat. Complete disappointment.. No flavour or seasoning at all. For a place called chop suey I expected much better.. Sorry.. not good at all

Some people are leaving negative reviews about this Chinese but we have been using this Chinese for about 12 years and can honestly say there is nothing wrong with it. We always have a take away when we visit the local Caravan Park each month and have only ever had 1 bad meal in 12 years. My advice is to take these reviews with a pinch of salt. Everyone has there own views.

Quick polite service, tasty dishes.

The chicken was terrible over cooked and to me it’s yesterday’s warmed up, won’t be going there again, 🙈

This has got to be at least the worst sweet and sour chicken I’ve ever had and I’m a passionate sweet and sour guy. The chicken was like chewing a bouncy ball and near enough everything was fried I even got a few chips in with my chicken which I never remember ordering

We was on a break at bowland lakes but got there late no where open to eat and we was starving so my young lad enjoyed the Noddles and I enjoyed my foo Yung, very nice thank you

Good food! Made quickly! A little expensive for the area but competitive!

Good fast service and food nice but very pricey

Visiting family nearby -- saw mixed reviews - not many options in and around Garstang so we ordered.What a pleasant surprise, we all had different meals, and they were tasty, ample portions, and hot. We got exactly cwhat we ordered and would certainly order again.

Prior to ordering looked at the reviews - very mixed. There are limited options for take aways in the area, so we ordered several different meals. We were surprised it was so delicious,tasty, hot, exactly what we ordered with ample portions, it did not disappoint.

Our go to chinese takeaway. Give it a try.

nice and friendly take away lots to choose from, reasonably priced, telephone orders welcome, good hot food

Tried to order a combination of a couple of things from the menu and ended up with something completely different. Would have enjoyed the crispy chicken. However, the curry was a bit of a surprise.

Ordered crispy fried chicken balls with sweet and sour source and fried rice and got a Thai mixed curry. One star as it was quite quick.

Salt and pepper wings are exceptional,good selection of dishes great food and very tasty,service great.

Can have long wait hours at peak times, food excellent, staff lovely, price good.

Had a tasteless takeaway that ended up in the bin - really disappointed ☹️ Been loads of times in the past and just recently standards have drop dramatically

I have just had the worst special curry and chips I have ever had. The curry was bland with very little meat. The chips were leathery, barely warm and obviously reconstituted. Nothing like as good as it used to be. They won't see me again.

Had a lovely salt and pepper chicken and noodles from here and my hubby had sweet and sour pork and rice we were very impressed and also was good value for money! Deffo be ordering again 👌

Had to wait, what felt like 6 days (!!!!!!!!) for our food and it wasn’t even that busy!!! Do NOT order beef!!! When Mrs Lau had it it was great..now it’s just really bad!!!

Glad we did not read the negative reviews on T.A. before visiting . Although a long wait due to phone orders our order Large Spring Rolls and two main dishes were fine and would not hesitate to use this takeaway again.

Superb value for money - all gorgeous & staff lovely. Thank you.

Never going again food cold and tasteless

Nice Tasty Food, good portions, always seems busy with telephone orders (no delivery service), so sometimes you can be waiting a while in shop before your order is ready. I have had food on a regular basis with no issues, I have tried four Chinese takeaways in the surrounding area and in my opinion this is the best one, so the only one I use now.

Good food. Not the quickest,but worth the wait. Chilli chips are a good choice.

A Great Chinese Take A Way. You must try the Chilli Chips. MMMM

Service is slow and the food is bland. Barton Chinese is a better choice

Not as good as it used to be under Mrs Lau, but still very good!

Nunca duda de este lugar, es increíble la comida nunca le permite a mí y a mi familia por un chino, tenemos al menos una vez a la semana y nunca he tenido una mala crítica en la familia! Los precios están bien yo diría, no hagas caso a las críticas negativas

Really good food. Sweet and sour excellent

My mum used to say "if you cant say anything good about people "SAY NOTHIN"good advice--"TARRA" ps DONT THET KNOW????

The food was excellent and super cheap!! Would definitely recommend it and everyone should ignore the bad reviews!

Sometimes good sometimes bad. I don't go here as often as I used to.

it was my birthday and we had been in before and always ordered the same food but on this time they forgot to give us the whole order.they stared at us constantly and was very rude and unpleasant .

Era difícil de emular los dueños anteriores, el Sr. y la Sra. Lau - Este para llevar, de excelente, pero hemos dado una prueba varias veces bajo los actuales propietarios desesperadamente esperamos que mejore. Visitamos otra vez hoy, las raciones son muy generosas (y tenemos grandes apetitos) la calidad aunque es terrible. No podía comer el "pollo" que era, como han descrito otros viscoso, insípido, mal cocida y grasos. No me di cuenta el restaurante chino en Bridge Street más allá de la carretera no llevar, estaremos yendo allí en el futuro.

El precio era razonable... Por una razón. El servicio de atención al cliente era tan rancio como el pan de gambas. Al menos pretende ser agradecidos porque me pase mi dinero ganado duramente sobre el mostrador de moda. La comida era normal en el mejor de los casos, el pollo sólo puede ser descrito como un disquete (wet insípido grasa es barato y más preparado) y las costillas de carne de menos perros hueso.. De todos los restaurantes chinos y comida para llevar en el flop shoey Garstang casa viene en último lugar.

The food is appalling. It was so salty we couldn't eat it. The prawn crackers were yesterday's and just didnt taste right. Dont waste your hard earned cash. We wont be going again.

we visit regularly for take away; excellent food, freshly cooked so the veg are still crisp, portion sizes good, we haven't tried a wide variety of dishes but the sweet and sour, special fried rice, barbecued ribs, special chow mein and singapore noodles have all been excellent. just check they give you prawn crackers if you have ordered them - a couple of times they have been forgotten, but we should have noticed at the time!

Food dishes were all virtually the same taste. Poor quality. Forgot to pack one of the main dishes we had ordered. I went all the way back to collect and the young lad at the counter blamed the kitchen! Uded to be good but I...

By far the best Chinese in Garstang by a long way. Food always cooked fast and of a great standard. Don't listen to the bad reviews!

My husband loves their special fried rice and the the ribs. I enjoy the chicken curry and seaweed. Not experts on Chinese so don't want to write much about it.

Since Mrs Lau left this place has gone down hill, I've tried a few different dishes under the new ownership and they have all been terrible. I'd rather pay a bit more and get my Chinese from the restaurant at the bottom of Bridge Street.

Don't listen to all of the locals slating it, it isn't that bad. The food whilst not perfect is very good. We got a set meal for three and switched the sweet and sour king prawns for sweet and sour chicken. We also got a portion of chips extra. It's costly we paid £24.50 but there was mountains of food and there was no way we could eat all of the food. The Ribs were a disappointment as they had no sauce, just a lemon wedge which in my opinion don't go together, they also had a lot of cartilage and fat on but what meat we had was lovely. We had three portions of fried rice which was too much so we divided one between the three of us and it was delicious, it had prawns, chicken and pork in it and we will definitely be eating the other two in the coming days. The sweet and sour was really nice; massive batter balls that didn't divide equally as there was 7 and the sauce whilst nice only had three chucks of pineapple. The spring roles were divine and we had four each. We were divided on our opinion of the beef chop suey, I loved it whilst my dad liked the beef but not the vegetables, my brother liked it too. We have yet to eat our other chicken dish and prawn crackers but we are looking forward to eating them with our remaining rice tomorrow.

Nasty. Was that really chinese food? I wouldn't recommend anyone to eat from here, try a different takeaway.

so sad when the previous owners left as it was excellent.Having heard poor reports we thought would give it benefit of doubt as couldnt be that bad....how wrong we were!! Am sure the chips had been reheated,and some werent even cooked through...the king prawns hadnt been 'cleaned' correctly which is disgusting and the rice....so dry was thrown straight in the bin!this is one takeaway to definatley avoid at all costs!

When Mr and Mrs Lau owned this Chinese Takeaway the food was excellent. People used to stock up to freeze curry sauces etc... when Mr and Mrs Lau were going on holiday :)Since the new owners have taken over, it's awful.We've had food twice, giving them the benefit of the doubt.The meals we had, the chicken didn't look or taste like chicken, the food smelled and tasted strange, and we totally wasted our money as the 4 takeaways we bought were thrown in the bin.We now make our own, it's delicious, healthy and cheaper!

Garstang chop suey house used to be brilliant but has gone down hill. My partner had house special chop suey ordered it with no prawns but it had prawn shells in it! I had the house special fried rice and it was vile the prawns had black running through it. I will not be going back and would not recommend to anyone!!

This used to be our takeaway of choice. The food was alway really great and fresh, but we noticed that it might have changed hands a couple of months ago and now 3 really bad meals in, sad to confirm that it's gone from great to terrible. The staff seem nice and happy but that's where the good part ends. Our previous 2 meals had numerous quality issues and this is a more detailed version of the latest and absolute last meal mea from here.Special fried rice, was always really tasty and had mixed meat, a nice BBQ sauce and a cheeky huge king prawn somewhere in the middle. The one we got on Saturday, was dry, the meat was all really dry and tasted stale - like it had been kept open in a fridge for a while, the BBQ sauce was a tasteless brown, congealed jelly on the top that looked like Bisto when it goes cold. No king prawn and zero taste other than the stale taste and that of the oil it was cooked in. Chicken Curry - this is normally a safe bet and a winner, but this time, the chicken had no flavour, it had a slight odour again like the mixed meat above, poorly stored i think. The sauce was neither here nor there flavour wise and was like curry water with chicken and onions in. 2 spoonfuls and that and the rice went in the bin. The king prawns in black bean sauce, was also a disaster, very watery sauce, ultra salty to the point of being inedible. The prawn crackers were 100% stale and soft. Again, a real shame as this used to be so good, but save your money and get a takeaway from one of the others in the area. Won't be going back, unless i hear updates from others on it. Would be interested as to what others think or have had recently from here.
