Gaze in Ards

Don't know about all these bad reviews I've never had a bad meal from here inside sitting or the takeaway they have always been lovely nice friendly staff quick service when dining in not badly priced either so I can't fault this place.

Hav benn going to gaze for quite a few years. Food always good. But got 2 chicken curry’s fried rice . None of us could eat the chicken it was like rubber.it was terrible. Won’t be back

Great place to get something to eat very top class food

First time trying Gaze,Amazing food and staff , The very best honey chilli chicken🙏recommended

Food was gorgeous fast delivery aswell definitely be getting from now on, always pass this place and wondered what the hype was all about, reading some reviews would put people off, but tbh the best Chinese I've had in the town my new favourite now, duck pancakes I've never had them like that before there where gorgeous, chicken cheese spring rolls and ham spring rolls are a must aswell, honey chilli chicken is gorgeous big and chunky, rice and chips where amazing aswell, chips weren't dry and slimy they where really crispy

Delicious takeaway for two with two main meals for just £20. Bargain. Seemed to be fresh ingredients, and far less greasy than other Chinese takeaways. Staff very helpful and friendly too. Added bonus that recent (Feb 24) Food Hygiene rating is 4, which whilst it would be better if 5, this is currently better than some other Asian restaurants in Ards

Very nice food staff very friendly and we're very generous with giving us 8 mints

Really impressed with the quality of food and quickness with serving

My self and the wife where in on Saturday and what a shambles.. the wee Chinese boy behind the counter is sooooo rude..he was yelling at the young girl on the till who may I add looks no older than 15/16..he actually had the young girl in tears..the food was ok..took for what felt like ages to come out and when it did it was just average.. I have never been anywhere like it.. that Chinese boy needs the sack Completely out off order.. I am in a golf society and we where planning on going there..maybe 20 or so off us..definitely won't be happening now..I wil be telling all my friends and family about how that silly lil boy treated that young girl.. Avoid this place

Always friendly and great service. Food is probably best chinese in the town

Grub gud,staff friendly. Didnt know no alkahole available😬. Room on cold side. Will be back.

The service in this place was a disappointment (tom tom ) told me to get my own food and charged me extra

Great food Great service but may be no kids after 6pm it spoilt a good night.

I always get a very good meal here and at a reasonable price. Always well cooked. Staff good at sorting you out

Despite ringing ahead for collection we still had to wait a further 20 minutes with very curt service. Salted chilli chicken was tasteless & tough. Ordered ham & cheese spring rolls, were given the vegetable ones. Won't be back.

We visit Gaze on a weekly basis and it is consistently amazing! The service is extremely efficient and the food is wonderful.

Very nice Good service Fantastic vibe

I used to argue with my other half that this place was great loved the food. I have suddenly changed my mind after the meal tonight. The rice was clumpy, very little sauce and the prawn crackers didn't taste anything like prawn cracker they tasted more like sweaty 10 year flip flop. The fried rice with gravy was bad when my son wouldn't even eat it point blank refused. Very disappointed and very overpriced I won't be back!

Great food quick and friendly service what else could you ask for.

Worst Chinese restaurant I have ever been to. Food was cold. (So was I. Restaurant was freezing.) When I complained they said "WE will let the kitchen know" Avoid at all cost. It's a pity you can't go below 1 star!! .

Have been 3 times in the last few months. First 2 were really nice but today on our 3rd visit it was awful. We chose chicken chow mein and sliced chicken,chips,onions,peas and gravy. The only item that was warm were the chips. The chicken was really tough. Money wasted. Would never entertain it again. It's a shame that some places cannot keep up their standard. With how things are today, the cost of living and suchlike It's annoying when you feel that your hard earned cash is wasted. This was a celebration dinner for a 70th birthday and we were so disappointed. Ah well lesson learned.

Good curry but a cold chilly restaurant.

First Visit ..was recommended to try this place...was not disappointed...and will be back

Great food, friendly staff not sure about the atmosphere as have not had a sit in yet

Always have a lovely meal here.

I was in at a table on Friday night.. shocking. A tall lanky boy was made to do all the work as the others seemed to have a good conversation going. I don’t doubt the boy tried his best but this was unsatisfactory to watch as the organisation was shambles. Asked for the bill and then got it through onto my table. There is much better restaurants in the Newtownards area which will be more beneficial for the needs of those who come out to enjoy a meal.

The food me and son got was bloody awful staff cocktail didn't want to know the Chinese lad was very ignorant to us he was about giving check to 63yr old man used to be if you didn't want a sweet they took pound off no he said the meal curry the beef tasted off they charged us full 16 95 each for meal but it came to 43 pounds they take charge for tips I would love to tell every one please stay away not good for money they don't care poor service all round if I could I would give them o/0 STAY. AwAy they wouldn't give us a sweet to us to take home

Great value for money, parking right beside it. Good selection definitely worth a visit

I was a little surprised at the portion sizes. I could have eaten double. £17 for 3 courses, which is great, but I did leave a little hungry still, shame.

Food.is absolutely amazing and the prices are very reasonable.

Any food I've got is good. The reason for 3 stars is because their prices aren't very consistent. Was charged £20 one night for a takeaway. 2 weeks later I ordered the exact same thing and it was £16. Don't understand why I was charged an extra £4 before.

Absolutely disgusting service restaurant was freezing my mum was eating dessert then found a big peice off plastic on her bannan we were then hit with big bill charged for sides!! Definitely don't go here

Fabulous place and delicious food 😋

Great place with lovely food and reasonably priced

Top class food. Probably the best Chinese in the town

Good food sit-in or takeaway and great service. Also local car park.

Food poisoning after the beef curry. Avoid this Chinese.

Had the duck curry was tasty untill the human hair infused to the food ruined ir

Food is lovely but customer service extremely poor. I placed an order via website but payment didn’t seem to have gone through due to technical glitch (I tried twice) so phoned to check. I am deaf so used a relay service. Payment had actually gone through twice. The staff member who took my call was extremely rude and told me they were very busy and needed phone line back, presumably because the relay takes time. Needless to say will not be ordering from Gaze again. Very disheartening.

Nice family meal ,again. I like the food here and recommend

Got a takeaway from Gaze for a change.....wish I hadn't bother. Issues below: 1. £4 delivery 2. £3 for a bag of soggy frozen chips. 3. There was no chicken in the crispy filo chicken starter. ......it was like eating hay. 4. Meals were full of salt . 5. I had to pay an extra 50p for boiled rice??? 6. I was up most of the night feeling unwell after eating my takeaway. 7. I know someone else who unwell after eating food from Gaze on the same night I ordered. Never again

Got a takeaway from here .can honestly say it was worst chow mein I'd ever had totally inedible full of salt and no veg whatsoever Will never be back

Dec 2019 - prices up again while the quality and quantity of food have reduced. Quality - no pineapple in the lemon chicken any more?) Chicken balls doughy un-cooked. Quantity Chicken balls mostly dough compared to chicken?

Not too hard to make a Malaysian curry. Especialy for Gaze. Chicken curry in a tub. No desguise. Never be back. Off to the loo.

This place used to be ok, but has gone downhill very badly recently. We had a meal here a few weeks ago which was average at best, but last night it was just rubbish. The sauces were gloopy and what meat there was in our food was practically inedible. After trying to cut through some burnt stuff I finally called the waitress who said she’d “tell the chef” so that was that sorted!! We WON’T be back.

Love this Chinese order nearly every week there garlic chips and salt n chilli chips r the best and the prawn toast is the best in ards never had a bad Chinese from here ......bit pricey but worth the extra .

Lovely Chinese restaurant, good quality and reasonably priced too! Perfect for a no fuss , quiet meal . It’s bring your own wine , but if you forget , there’s a couple of off sales close by ! I recommend you try the two courses for , I think it’s £11 , can say it’s excellent value ! The staff are pleasant and helpful !

Food was decent, portions weren’t the biggest compared to the local Chinese take outs but not complaining. The starter (spring rolls) where cold but huge and filling. Not fully impressed but might try again.

Love this Chinese it's always gorgeous I've never had bad food out of here really worth laying that bit extra ..

Arrived for a meal asked for drinks menu tea coffee or soft drinks no licence despite large sign outside saying fully licensed. If you bring your own £4 to uncork £3 to take top of a bottle. You would think at those prices could afford to heat the place. Only one other couple in the place sat with coats on. Not what I expect when go out for a meal went to the Parlour across the road and had great meal with great service.

We all the food here, great place for a celebration. The four of us had 3 courses each. Oldest loves the deep fried ice-cream

Decent food poorly run. Customer service shoddy.A collection ordered and when arrived 15 mins later to pick up sa for another 45 mins .Riciculous and happens more often than not .New management strategy required

Why does Gaze always seem to disappoint with customer service. Waiting times unrealistic at ordering, orders mixed up! Sort it out Gaze!

Love this restaurant call for lunch when in Ards lunch deal is fantastic value for two courses salted chilli rub for starters and beef curry main we’re delicious as wee my friends meals staff were super friendly and helpful especially with a toddler! Kids menu is excellent and offer large portions. This is definitely one of my favourite Chinese restaurants and will continue to visit

Got a carry out this evening,honey chilli crispy beef,Singapore fried rice

This wee place has really improved over the last 4 months. Lovely pleasant staff to take your order and easy to chat to. Freshly cooked tasty Chinese. Salt n Chilli chicken a family favourite, as is the Jiang Bao Chicken. Noodles are an excellent accompaniment. The Gaze Deluxe starter is delicious- prawn toast, satay chicken skewer (wow), spring roll and duck samose - fabulous!!

Restaurant was quite so service very prompt and friendly and the 2 course lunch amazing value.

Brought other half and kids here. Great menu and carry out. Favourite is beef curry and boiled rice.

On 18th June had a table for 8 people and was busy the young girl called Sam was amazing excellent service and the food was amazing she was so busy and there was a young boy really polite too will definitely be back !!!

Food good, BUT - restaurant was freezing - no atmosphere - service with a scowl. Sorry, but not good enough

We don’t have Chinese take away very often but used to love Gaze in Newtownards. Treated my daughters this evening £16.20 for two chicken dishes with fried rice. The chicken with cashew nuts had 4 nuts in it!! Don’t think it is very good value for money, will probably not be going back there although the food was still tasty

Gaze has good food, friendly staff recently they have stopped selling beer wine etc. They are very well priced and very good value for money. I would recommend it highly.

Ive been to Gaze several times. Some good. Some not so good - but never excellent. Tonight was awful. After waiting 2 hours for delivery - the order was all wrong. This after the restaurant ringing to confirm my order!!! I rang and they sent me another order - but only the dishes they git wrong so ine friends dinner was cold waiting on the ithers to arrive. No apology. No complementary prawn crackers. Nothing. And the food was meh. My advice - go elsewhere.

Visited Gaze with my wife on our anniversary. We had a lovely meal, served by friendly efficient staff, at a great price. My only gripe was the ignorant moron sitting behind me, who broke wind twice. He and his companion may have thought it was hilariously funny, but nobody else did! That aside, this place is a good find, and I would happily return again and again.

Firstly let me say the food from Gaze is great and always has been. I have no issue with that.

I really like the food from here but am becoming increasingly annoyed at the continuous errors in my orders. Ordered salt and chilli king prawn and got sweet and sour king prawn. A couple of weeks before, I ordered a thai satay beef and got a beef curry even though the order or the bag clearly said satay. It is not worth complaining as they just want it dropped down to them. It is a long enough wait and they are not apologetic at all. Final straw is being told that the free starter offer was off and no explanation given. Will have to give up and move to another chinese

I visited Gaze with family after we decided last minute to upgrade our Saturday evening takeaway. On arrival, we were quickly greeted by a friendly lady and taken to our seats. There was only one more party in the fairly small yet spacious restaurant. The menu was typical of a Chinese. Service was fast and the food was tasty. The staff were very welcoming and accommodating throughout. All in all, a homely, tasty and fuss free experience. If you want a simple and well priced night out or can't be bothered waiting for delivery or cleaning up the dishes then sitting in at Gaze could be your perfect choice!

Nicely decorated place with very happy and efficient staff. Peking duck for a starter followed by chicken in black bean sauce with steamed rice. Very tasty and good portions. I recommend this place and will return.

Husband, kids and myself visited Gaze over the Easter Holidays for the early bird special. It was very tasty. Staff lovely and even charged one of our children's iPad. We will certainly return soon for early bird.

Tuve algunos amigos para una china llevar el sábado por la noche. Se ordenó de mirada China llevar en 7. 30:00 h. A las 21:00h no había llegado, llamé a ellos 3 vez y nunca ni siquiera me contestaron. La entrega llegó a 9. 30...

Tienen, en su mayoría, tenía un buen comedor y experiencia orden de entrega aquí. Pero esta vez pedí una entrega de carne Tailandesa Satay, la entrega fue casi tres cuartos de hora más tarde de lo que nos dijeron que iba a ser, estaba frío, y la salsa muy caliente y las verduras (pimiento verde y cebolla) primas, muy decepcionante.

Ordered dinner last night from this restaurant was told it would be ready in 15 minutes as I've been before I gave them 25 as they are always slow. Still had to wait another 10 minutes. When I got home discovered they'd forgotten the sweet and source sauce but it wasn't worth going back. My chicken fried rice was disgusting all I could taste was onion of which there was huge amounts. I was very disappointed as this was my mother's day treat. My youngest daughter had a pizza from Giuseppe's I wish we had all chosen that as it was delicious.

Placed an order on the app tonight. 6 main meals with sides of rice and 2 sides. Collected my order to take to a family dinner and when I opened it, I had got dry noodles instead of special chow mein and gravy rice instead plain rice. This would not be a problem until I rang. They argued that this was my fault and said they would replace it when I brought the dry noodles and gravy rice back. So not only were we inconvenienced because someone had to go to the shop to rectify their mistake, our meal was freezing by the time it was sorted. And by the way.... I would be unsure of how fresh the food is given they are sending a delivery driver to collect the rice and noodles that were mistakenly given to us (the person we sent to collect left while we were phoning to let them know). What are they going to do with it now that it's been sitting in our house for an hour? Customer service is SHOCKING!

Chinese food is gorgeous. Sitting in or taking out. Food is stll very good. Lovely and quite inside and good value for money.

Delivery is terribly slow. Food is average and staff are not nice. My friend ordered food for collection last week. Walked in to collect it half an hour later and sat in the place for over 40mins. Guy on the counter just shrugged his shoulders and didn't care. I ordered stuff this week and it was exactly the same.

Very and I mean very fast service with delicious food.Had a wee bit of a wait as the meal was finished but when received was well worth the wait

Often eat here and have their set menu deal £9.95 for 2 courses and £10.95 for 3 courses. The food is excellent, quite a selection of dishes and everything that we have had has been of a high standard. The restaurant is small and so would be suitable for a small family get together.

Made a reservation here for my work friends. However, we needn't have bothered reserving as we were only folk in restaurant! There were couple folk who came in for carryouts. I ordered chicken sweetcorn soupFor starters - it was very thick and 'gloopy'. My main - black bean - was tasty enough but not outstanding. Good value at £10 for 2 course.

When it comes to eating in Newtownards the choices are very limited- We called in for a bite to eat and discovered the two course menu offered to be apparently excellent value at £9.99 - The decor is basically the same for the last twenty years and the staff are very very nice - unfortunately the food was no tat all good-There is no good offering a DEAL when the quality is not there-The meals looked tired and not up to standard- the sauces were think and very unattractive-The helpings were fine but not to a decent standard at all. I can not comment on what the A La Carte may have been like -but certainly if the offering of the evening special menu( that seemed to include everything) re anything to go by then I somewhere else-

Had a gaze voucher rang for a delivery and specifically said we have a gaze voucher can this be used? The reply was a yes so ordered food. Upon delivery we were told oh no you can't use those gaze vouchers. Rang gaze who said no sorry we don't accept those ones. Not helpful and not interested. Food sent back. Thoroughly disappointed with lack of customer help. One lost customer will not be back. Badly run amateur outfit.

I was at this chinese tonight. Have been before and it wasn't bad but tonight's meal was the worst ever. I ordered satay beef because I don't like chicken. I got inedible extremely hot satay chicken. My friend got crispy honey chicken that he couldn't eat. No one came over to see what was wrong and we were charged full price. won't be back really dreadful.

Visited with friends. Staff was pleasant as was the food. Nice atmosphere and good location. Value for money. Would return.

Gaze is an Asian Cuisine sit in or takeaway restaurant.We visit usually once or twice a month to sit in.The service is always excellent and there is one of the servers who just makes your night as her approach to dealing with people is simply fantastic! All servers are attentive and will cater to your needs.Gaze offers a 3 course menu deal in addition to the standard menu, all of which is excellent value for money.We usually order the same things each visit and share.Our usual main meal is the pan pan chicken, with rice and then we get a gravy chip. Possibly the best gravy chip I have had and certainly one of the best Chinese restaurants I have been in! I have no negative points to highlight about this restaurant! It is brilliant!Robert.

Although Gaze are springing up everywhere this one in Ards is a little hidden gem, just enough tables to have a relaxing atmosphere the food is excellent, served fast, staff are friendly and the portions are just right. Tip there is limited parking in front of the restaurant or pay car parking round the corner. But if you visit after 6pm parking should not be a problem.

My husband and I eat at Gaze regularly, the starter, main course and a soft drink deal is excellent with a wide choice. The staff are friendly and helpful, I usually book in advance to ensure I get a table.

My family ordered selected things from the menu and I, being a vegetarian, ordered a vegetable satay, when I was delivered it was dished out over the rice and chips without checking and the vegetable satay had chicken in it so we called up and they kindly offered a free replacement so another 15 min wait to get it and it came with just the sauce after telling the operator that we had already put the wrong order out with the chips and rice. So I have a plate of vegetables and sauce for £7....excellent

I've eaten from Gaze many times and eaten in and never had a problem. Tonight I ordered honey chilli chicken with boiled rice, chips and ribs. I got egg fried rice instead of boiled rice which was particularly disappointing as it was bought especially for my daughter in hospital who was so looking forward to it and does not like egg fried rice. The honey chilli chicken was rubbery and the sauce watery. Very disappointing.

For something differentSuitable for family groups parties etcYou must book especially at weekendsBrilliant value

Excellent food at excellent Prices for sit in! We have been quite a few times and the special menu is first class and the portions are full size.

Crispy Salt & Chilli King Prawns and Gaze Jiang Bao Chicken were ordered and we were given a choice of free starters, we opted for Chicken Skewers with a satay sauce. Lovely girl took my order and we shared a bit of craic. We've always enjoyed Gaze.

My partner and I order from here regularly, and their food is amazing. We particularly like the honey chili beef, BBQ spare ribs in syrup, Jiang bao chicken and pan pan chicken. Prices are competitive and delivery service is what you would expect for a Chinese. Wouldn't order Chinese from anywhere else!

Do not buy the squid. Was very very rubbery. I would amuse my trainer soles tasted better after running a marathon. Very low standard. It looks like they are buying already made food and reheating it. Chicken salt and Chilly pieces were so uniform hence were never made fresh on premises. I threw it away. Even my hungry cats would not touch the squid or chicken.

This was always our favourite restaurant in Ards but this was our worst meal ever. My husband ordered Malaysia special curry but got a mediocre curry sauce. I ordered chicken jang bao but got a super sticky honey chilli sauce. So disappointed. Best bit was our free starter salted chilli chicken. Don't think we will be back.

Excellent food, never disappoints. Would be my number one destination for Chinese food in Ards as they do the best honey chilli chicken ever! Great service and good price too. The portion sizes are also generous. The restaurant atmosphere is good with typical Chinese decor. The staff are also very pleasant and always helpful. Can't wait to get back again!

a great place for great food from currie to chips it does them all. The staff are. Helpful and service fast. Portion sizes are good.

Had the Thai Curry recently, which is now at the top of the list for this kind of food when eating out and it was HOT just the way I like it, the service is always very good, well done Gaze

I was really looking forward to going to Gaze (had never been before) Read their menu and realised they did my favourite dish- Chicken Yaki Udon! Well it was more like chicken yaki do not....Absolutely nothing like the proper dish which I have had in Ginger Tree. My mum had ordered chicken chow Mein and when our plates were brought out it was nearly impossible to know which dish was which. Obviously udon noodles are thicker but both plates where piled high with greasy,salty but tasteless slop. How on earth a cook can make onions tasteless is beyond me!!!! Never been so disappointed in a restaurant in all my life. After a few mouthfuls we were both done, wouldn't even bother asking for a replacement meal... God knows what we would have been given. Food was horrible but on a small upside our waiter was very friendly and efficient. Would not recommend Gaze to my worst enemy.

Nice food but staff disorganised and customers were having to wait for over an hour when they called to collect their preordered food

great range of food good price well prepared and speedy carryout service their special dishes are great and unique to Gaze.

Had 2 courses plus a drink for £10 per person. Food was lovely, fresh and hot. The lady who looked Fter us was entertaining and put the heating on for us. She was very friendly but not overpowering, and checked that everything was perfect. I would definitely recommend this for a nice, informal and delicious meal with friendly staff and great service!
