Been coming to this take away for many many years and always been one of if not the best Cantonese takeaway away shops in Leicester. Family run business and the food is outstanding.

really wanted a chinese on a monday night and my local ones were closed decided to order from here. never ever will i make that mistake again. they gave me stale prawn crackers. the chips were hold undercooked and tasted like they’d been re heated. you could have collected all of the grease off the chicken balls and re fried the chips yourself. the whole meal was just absolutely disgusting.

I tried this place for the first time today and am really impressed with everything I ordered. The quality and freshness of the food is amazing, it's reasonably priced, service was quick and the staff are so friendly. Also while I was sat there waiting for my food their phone was constantly ringing with people placing orders, which is always a good sign that you're in a very highly rated takeaway.

So....I have been going to Good Friends for years and went last week to get my monthly chinese takeaway as I do. After arriving home some 5 miles away, I was shocked to find that there was no rice in my order (I had ordered a large EFR). When I called them, they didn't seem too bothered, and as the manager was not available, all they could offer me was a free EFR. So now I had to leave all my food to go back out to ANOTHER Chinese takeaway to get rice, and as u can imagine, by the time I am back, all my food is cold. 😡

A very popular takeaway with excellent food. A 5 star service with a 5 star hygiene rating. Getting a delivery takes about an hour but you can pick it up in 20 mins. Get 2 bags of chip. 1 with the meal and 1 for the drive home.

ordered from Good friends few weeks ago and it was absolutely amazing. It was worth the money! We ordered a Chicken Singpore Chow Mein. Sweet chilli crispy chicken and a portion of the chilli chips which were wonderful. We ordered in person and the staff were lovely despite being so busy on a Saturday night. We knew this place was good when we heard many phone orders over £30 and people were willing to take over an hour for their food. If you haven't tried yet, I highly recommend ordering a chinese from here! I cannot wait to order again!

The delivery time is very bad. Was quoted 1 hour 35 minutes and it came just over 2 hours. But..... The food did come hot, and it was delicious!! I wanted to give 2 stars but the food deffo deserves 5stars. One of the best Chinese I've ever had. Please sort your waiting times out.

Home delivery waiting time is terrible..!!! After placing an order on a Friday night we sat waiting for it to arrive.. An hour later we were sick of waiting so I called Good Friends to see where our food was, the lady said it had already left the building and would be with us in 5 minuets.. it arrived lukewarm a further 20 minuets later...!!!

This is my absolute favorite spot for jacket potatoes! I always go for the classic potato with butter, melted cheese and a sprinkle of salt and pepper for only £4. The potatoes are baked perfectly soft and the gooey cheese makes every bite so satisfying. Highly recommend this place as their servings are generous, delicious potatoes, friendly staff and affordable prices. A must visit for any jacket potato lover!
