Hai Yang Chinese Takeaway in Highland

Expensive for what it is. Our local down south is cheaper! Extremely sweet Kung Po Chicken and very stringy beef in the special curry . Feel that because it's the only Chinese in the area they don't really care.

This is a great little take away Chinese restaurant - take away only and cash only payments please note. The king prawn szechwan is spicey and delicious and the mixed vegetable dishes are very tasty too. We dony eat meat so can't comment on these. Service is fast. we only waited 15 minutes from order to it being ready. Would recommend.

We always have a takeaway meal from this establishment on our visits to Gairloch. We had a honey chilli duck and a Mongolian pork both with friend rice. We also had a couple of sides, all of which were good. We will definitely return on our next visit.

Really wonderful takeaway. The takeaway from here was amazing and tasted wonderful. Great value for money.

Had a couple of takeaway meals from this very unassuming little red box of a building. WOW!!! So tasty and as good as any Chinese food takeaway from back home. Loved it.

We ate here twice during our visit to the highlands. The food was amazing, and we had a great experience both times. My wife said “this is the best Chinese’s I’ve ever had”. And that’s saying a lot. Friendly staff, family friendly environment. I would definitely recommend!

Just loved the takeaway we had. Great service, very friendly. Super quick delivery. Devoured the dish - yum

Gorgeous food ! Wehad the best spring rolls we've ever tasted for starter then house special curry was the best my hubby has ever had and my chicken with mixed veg had a good variety of veg,Chips were fresh and large portions too,well worth a visit!!

We had king prawns in black bean sauce, duck Szechuan style, sweet and sour chicken balls, mushroom rice and free prawn crackers. All very tasty, large portions and ready on time. Deli and very polite service. Highly recommended and we will definitely go again when visiting gairloch.

It was interesting to be back here after a while away. We ordered several dishes, all fish or vegetarian and all were very well prepared and good. I ordered when I got there and it only took 15 minutes for the food to be ready. Served with a smile too. We look forward to the next time.

Excellent takeaway. We had the mixed starters which were great value for the quantity and quality. The king prawn chow mien and the crispy chilli beef were also excellent.

Excellent mains and starters no issues whatsoever. It's a Chinese takeaway and food was as we would expect. Would definitely use again.

We ordered 3 mains - the beef and chicken were like nothing I've tasted before, the texture of both was disgusting and has put me off eating meat. There was also very little flavour to any of the dishes and the chicken was a luminous pink! Really disappointed to have spent over £50 and had fried rice for dinner. Avoid.

We ate from this Chinese take away 3 or 4 years ago and back then the food was faultless. We were staying in Gairloch this weekend and decided to have another takeaway from here. Not sure if the chef or ownership has changed since our last time, but I had number 37 off the menu with egg fried rice and it was horrible. Loads of garlic, chicken over done and tough, fried rice very salty. Should have been listed as Garlic leather as that would have been a better description to what was served. I wot be eating from here again

We’re pretty regular at our local Chinese restaurant at home and they set high standards so it was great to find good quality Chinese food in The Highlands. We telephoned our order through which was ready as soon as we arrived.

We were staying in Badachro for a week and just fancied something different, so a Chinese takeaway ticked all of the boxes. Ordering was easy, said ten minutes, which was about my drive time. Food was good, but the same food colouring must be used...

We was so lucky to come across This place very Covid friendly all precautions taken the food was to die for .I will recommend this brilliant place to everyone

Food was great & quickly prepared. Thankfully, since it was literally the only place we could find to eat on a Sunday night in Gairloch.

Rang through the order from Mellon Charles and picked up our piping hot food 20 mins later....very good value for money and excellent service! Will certainly use again

Fantastic food at a reasonable price. Large portions. Friendly service. A must visit if you are staying in the area

Frequented Hai Yang whilst staying at a local hotel. Friendly and quick service and absolutely fantastic food for great prices (wish we had one of these local to where we live).

This unassuming Chinese takeaway in the village of Gairloch was a very pleasant surprise. Coming from Glasgow for a week’s stay in the village, we certainly had enough takeaways to compare it to. We were NOT disappointed. We had five different dishes (starters/mains) between three...

Food has certainly improved massively with a new menu and staff. Well worth the visit if staying in the area or passing

Arrived in Gairloch early evening and couldn't find a food establishment that was open. Eventually stumbled across Hai Yang which was so welcome and also welcoming. Efficient and charming receptionist.

Had a takeaway from here last week whilst camping nearby. The service was fast and efficient, the takeaway tubs were packed full to the brim and the food was delicious! Wish it were our local takeaway!

Well what an unexpected gem! we were let down by a supplier an needed to sort out a meal quickly. A menu was with the welcome pack in our accommodation. It is as varied as any anywhere and reasonably priced. We telephones our order through...

Had a takeaway from here in August when staying nearby. Food was good sized portion, reasonable prices and tasty

Great little find whilst in Gairloch. Excellent food and service. Highly recommend a takeaway. Plenty chicken in my honey chilli chicken and the sauce was so tasty. Chicken fried rice was also good with plenty chicken

We spotted this tired looking takeaway whilst using the carpark to visit the farm shop and it's 1980's appeal was too nostalgic to miss. The food was excellent, with all the favourites you'd expect and a few you wouldn't like the delicious Fujian Chicken and...

We ordered a huge order for 15 people and for a chinease take away wasn’t bad at all. Food was ready in a decent time quicker than inspected infact and food was pretty good. Would recommend especially as one of the few take aways in...

Don’t be fooled by its understated appearance. This place cooks the best Chinese food I have ever had. It is fresh and incredibly tasty. Don’t miss their chow main - their noodles are seriously the best ever.

We bought 4 meals with starters. On return to the campsite with our takeaway we found that 1 meal was missing. I phoned the takeaway and had to drive back to get the missing meal. No apology. The food was awful. I had the House special Curry. It was watery as were the other meals. Flavourless and certainly the worst we have had. My partner couldn’t eat the meal. Also dear for what you get. Avoid them

I love this takeaway the chicken was nice, it would be better if there was a full menu on the website and on google so I can choose my dishes in advance, thank you

I have eaten food from literally hundreds of Chinese restaurants and take aways, and have to congratulate this Chinese take away as being the worst ever. Food was disgusting. Chips that were hard and inedible, chicken balls with the batter burnt so bad you could almost break your teeth eating them, the smallest portion of sauce ever, not to mention overpriced. Gairloch is wonderful but its chinese is not.

We came to order a takeaway for two, we were met with a pretty grubby kitchen and waiting area and two screaming children who were being looked after by the lady taking the orders. After ordering (from a far too long menu) we resorted to waiting outside where it was much quieter. As in the title, the Singapore noodles were reasonably good but everything else was pretty drab. Clearly very few fresh ingredients had been used, especially the almost translucent chicken in ginger and spring onion sauce. Also, the vegetable spring rolls were tiny, had no filling in them and were tasteless - obviously frozen, probably like the rest of the food. Overall, pretty disappointing and would suggest that the owners drastically reduce the size of the menu and focus on using fresh ingredients (which while expensive, are definitely available in Gairloch). As with most takeaways, of course we over-ordered, however unlike others the leftovers were thrown away rather than eaten the next day. Note that this is cash only, not necessarily a drawback given the remote locale. PS. Whoever assesses food standards/cleanliness should definitely pay this takeaway a visit...

Friendly family run restaurant, Quick service for takeaway. Recommend the mix starter and the curry sauce is delicious. No powdered sauce insight or MSG for that matter. Large portions. Highly recommend this place for a value for money eatery in Gairloch.

Chinese Takeaways can be hit or miss - as we'd been out on a long day we decided to try Hai Yang. My wife had a Singapore Rice Noodle and I had a Special Fried Rice and we shared honey spare ribs. The food was far tastier than a lot of city takeaways we've tried and we feel the people of Gairloch and area are lucky to have this place! The food quantities were large and we were unable to finish it all. Both the noodle and rice dishes came packed with generous quantities of meat - a couple of large juicy prawns in each plus a lot of chicken strips and so on. A definite recommendation from us!

We decided we wanted chinese and we finished up eating in here. Proprietor was very obliging, supplying cutlery. It was clean and seemed very popular. We enjoyed our meal. Good value too.

Excellente carte et excellent cuisinier !Une nourriture généreuse, pas grasse et vraiment bon marché.On y a prit une soupe et des plats au curry. Un incontournable à Gairloch !Comme diraient certains guides, vaut le voyage... et c'est vraiment bien meilleur que tout ce qu'on peut manger ailleurs.

Staff very pleasant and gave us an early order. Food was very good and large potions. Worth a visit after a hard day out sight seeing.

This Chinese take away does not look especially wonderful from the outside but when in you are greeted with friendly and extremely prompt service and a very pleasant waiting area (photo attached). We enjoyed two vegetarian dishes, stir fry mushrooms and mixed vegetables in black bean sauce and both were very tasty. Prices are reasonable and the dishes stayed hot for the 15 minute journey home.

Found this great takeaway close to where we were staying and thoroughly enjoyed the food we had which was prepared very quickly. The menu was varied. The owner was pleasant and we would be happy to recommend it.

The food was good but way overpriced for what you get. The portion size is quite small for 6-9£ a pop.

We joked about the sign "High Class Chinese Takeaway" for a few days and then finally decided to try it--the food was surprisingly good. The chicken was fresh and delicious and the vegetables were tasty too.

Went here several times during our stay, pleasant staff and good food at reasonable cost. Not the best Chinese but not the worst in our experience.

I had lemon chicken,egg fried rice,chips,and prawn crackers cost nearly 20 quid.Friday evening,for myself and my son.We both started vomiting Saturday morning quickly followed by diarrhoea all day and Sunday and Monday.As a local i will certainly never eat from there again.

We were really looking forward to a Chinese carry out meal. Unfortunately it did not live up to our hopes. It was a bit non descript . The meat dishes were better than the vegetarian dish which had floating floppy cabbage or it might have been lettuce. The prawn crackers were fine. It was cooked on time and warm enough.

Some restaurants were closed that day so we gave the Chinese Take Away a try. I would not call this a great experience and have had better food before, but at least portions were big we weren’t hungry any more.

Lovely takeaway , perhaps a little on the pricey side compared to where we live but then it is the only one so it is what it is .

Placed my order then had a look around and was a bit shocked at the state of the place, the staff were sitting on the food boxes and a kid was running about at the back, the cooking area was untidy with tubs of sauce lying out scarily this would be my dinner.The younger Chinese guy took my order then papa came out with his slippers on from the back to start cooking, the son helped in his joggie bottoms no hand washing or aprons being used. The food was prepared quickly I had sweet and sour. Hi Ken Hong Kong style it tasted ok although it wasn't the best I've ever had, the other meals weren't fantastic and the prawn crackers tasted like they'd been cooked days ago.I was a bit disappointed and felt I had wasted my money as most of this went in the bin. I wouldn't go back, they need to give the place a good clean and buy some uniforms.

Great food at fair price, we were staying locally and ordered by phone so went to collect at allotted time, we had to wait 5 minutes but the service and food were very satisfactory, don't be put off by look of building from out side

We ordered prawn and beef chow mein - both very tasty. Friendly service. There is a large entrance area where the space looks a bit wasted - perhaps it used to be a restaurant?

Volvimos después de varios meses de distancia, y estuvimos encantados de encontrar el mismo nivel que había experimentado la última vez. La orden fue preparado muy rápidamente y todavía estaba caliente después de 15 minutos de regreso a nuestra cabaña. Las gambas picantes eran absolutamente...

Entré en Gairloch y tuvimos una cena de pescado. Ahora espera ser pescados en Gairloch fuera de este mundo, pero desafortunadamente no. Muy decepcionante y comida nos inacabado. Así en el camino de vuelta al hotel me fui a esta para llevar algo (dulce y agria pollo frito y arroz). Se dio en el clavo.

Didn't fancy a restaurant meal, so thought we'd try this and weren't disappointed. The mixed started is amazing, but note on the menu it's priced at £6, but that is each, but well worth it-it was huge. Our main course was delicious too, and the staff were friendly too. Order made up very quickly

We had a nice Chinese takeaway tonight from Hai Yang.I had BBQ Spare Ribs to start, these were nice but some of the meat on the ribs was a bit tough and they were all small pieces of ribs (I prefer larger ribs - personal preference) but overall they were nice. My friend ordered vegetarian spring rolls which were nice, fresh and crispy.For main course I had sweet and sour king prawn hong kong style which was very nice - the only improvement is that the light batter on the prawns could have been crispier. My friend had honey chilli chicken which was very nice.We also ordered prawn crackers which were very light, oil free and crispy - very nice. Will be back.

With climbing group staying locally, we normally have one night of takeaway instead of cooking. There isn't much choice in Gairloch, and I was surprised at how good this place was. It isn't exactly Chinatown, but very edible.

Not great, The chef was asleep in back of shop when we arrived.Food was edible but not great I had chicken curry and husband had chilli chicken but there's better restaurants around Gairloch

Food was ok but could have been better. Portions were smaller than we were used too and, didn't do extra portions of things like mushrooms or bean sprouts or even rice etc. We ended up gettting an extra meal just to get some mushrooms and veg and were charged accordingly. Still hungry after eating.

great spare ribs and plain chow mein just what we needed on a rainy windy night very busy so good idea to phone in your order in advance

Pour manger régulièrement dans les chinois, celui là je m en souviendrais. Portion généreuse, mais pas de goût, cuisine baclée et sans saveur , vraiment très déçu. Impossible de manger sur place....

It was nice to find a takeaway tucked away in a carpark in Gairloch! We obviously arrived at a good time as it was quite quiet when we ordered but by the time our meal was ready the place was mobbed! The Kung po spare ribs were delicious and worth every penny but the sweet and sour chicken in batter was a bit of a disappointment. Not served as an actually meal, you have to order chicken balls and then sweet and sour sauce. The sauce was £2 and it was the smallest tub I think I've ever seen! NOT value for money. The chicken balls were huge fillets of chicken but the batter was soggy and you could almost squeeze the oil out of them. The other dishes were lovely and did represent value for money.

We often have a Chinese takeaway at home so we were pleased to notice the Hai Yang menu at the holiday cottage we were in at Gairloch. Unfortunately, my boyfriend wanted duck but apparently the night he went his duck choice was unavailable so he had my usual, beef with green pepper & blackbean sauce, I have boiled rice, he had the egg fried. He also chose salt & pepper chicken wings, I am not a lover of these myself but he said they were tasty. Have to admit I really enjoyed my meal, I always thought my home town had the best Chinese takeaways but the Hai Yang can give them a run for their money! I was amazed how quickly he returned with meal too, at home we always expect a long wait. So pleased we found that menu!

Well what a lovely surprise here at Gairloch.Partly hidden at the rear of Mc Colls car park.A very free ranging imaginative menu. A choice above the rest.Extremely well and freshly cooked.The Kung Po spare ribs were excellent well presented with a few extra quality surprises like cashew nuts and pineapple.The portions are generous. Our Mongolian chicken dish exuded flavour and the most tender of chicken tasted in ages.This is truly a little hidden gemstone in Gairloch.If you are camping , caravanning etc give this place a go. Their takeaways are first class.

Rico take away de comida China en un enclave precioso. Muy buena y barata la comida . Siempre recordando q es un take away. Un acierto encontrar el sitio. Estaen la carretera metido un poco en un parking

Very busy so either phone your order in or place order then go to shop next door.Food was tasty and portion sizes good

I arrived in the take away and placed and order and was pleasantly surprised with the speed with which it appeared. There are plenty of seats to take advantage of whilst you wait. The food was piping hot and very tasty. We sampled prawns with garlic and spring onions, mixed vegetables with black bean sauce and mixed vegetables with cashew nuts and all very very good. Prices are reasonable for what you get and we would definitely return here.

Not the first time I have used his place and it certainly wont be the last.Had yet another superb take away meal.First class quality and plenty of it!Can recommend the Shredded Chilli Beef, Salt and Pepper Squid and their Special Curry.

The Chinese was lovely, but don,t think you will be getting portions like you do at home. It was really hot and the actual place is easy to find.

Hai Yang provides an excellent Takeaway service in this locality❗️Food consistently good. Service always fast.

Ordered by phone from Poolewe and ready by the time I drove there (15 mins). We had 61 king prawn cashew nut87 chicken in satay sauce43 Mongolian roast pork ( note very sweet)164 chicken chow mien96 beef green peppers in black bean sauceAll very tasty and well proportioned. Good value. No hesitation in recommending.

Excellent food at very reasonable prices given the extra costs the takeaway face.Just about everything in Gairloch closes on a Sunday so the Haiti Yang is was. Food was excellent, fast service, though as it's the only take away around I believe it gets very very busy at times.Highly recommended.

We were staying at the nearby Sands campsite and fancied something a bit different. We thought we were taking our lives into our hands by trying a Chinese takeaway tucked away in one of the remotest parts of the HIghlands, but we needn't have worried. The food was very good, I always opt for the mixed curry as that tends to give you a decent view of the quality of the rest of the menu....my wife had crispy chilli beef. The curry was excellent - the sauce was spot on - not too thin and certainly not the overly thick, MSG-laden, variety you get in many takeaways! The prawns, beef, pork and vegetables in the curry were also spot on. My wife's chilli beed was also very good - and crispy! Again, something many restuarants seem to forget! All in all, maybe not the best I've ever had.....but top 5 anyway which, given its location, is amazing!

Takeaway, really enjoyable. We were self catering and phoned to order meal. Crispy duck , one of the old stalwarts was really excellent.

We've used this takeaway many times as we have relatives living in the area. It's a treat each time we visit. We have never been disappointed; the food is amazing, fresh and appears to be very authentically cooked. It has never been greasy, like you often get from other Chinese food places. Yes, it can be very busy, but a wait is because they cook everything from scratch. My advice - place your order by phone in advance. You won't be disappointed! My recommendation - sweet chilli chicken yum yum.

We have ordered food here several times when staying in our camper van. The first time we arrived after 10pm and the place was closed, the guys were washing the floors and I knocked on the door. I explained that we hadn't eaten since morning and nowhere was open. They said they were closed but if we came in they would put an order together for us which they did. Excellent duck in plum sauce and chicken Kung po sauce with rice and chips. Each time we have had big portions and very tasty dishes. Will definitely visit again

driving through and saw takeaway.looked promising and we were hungry.nice staff ,friendly.ordered special curry and boiled rice,chicken chow mien.curry was passable but chow mien was the thinnest noodles on the planet with some raw onions and strips of chicken.was pretty tasteless and ridiciously dry.my local Chinese has bean sprouts and plenty of sauce . £15 price tag was a bit on the steep side to say the least.wouldnt stop again.

Really enjoyable take-away but had to wait 40 minutes! It's the only chinese for hundreds of miles so hardly surprising the world and his dog were there, Food was worth the wait

The shop is bright and clean, with a few tables and plenty of seating for those waiting for their takeaway meals. The food we ordered was very tasty and hot. We felt the prices were on the high side, but the quality was very good. Staff were welcoming too.

Låt dig inte luras av detta enkla ställe so ser ganska schabbigt ut. Maten är utmärk och du ska ju ändå inte sitta där eftersom det är en takeaway. Snabbt och rikligt. Är man inte vrålhungrig kan man gott dela en portion på två.

Have had a few Chinese Meals from here this last year, and have found the quality and standard very high. Always piping hot and very tasty meals cooked to order, and is service with a smile.

We drove 45 minutes from our vacation rental to get takeaway from Hai Yang. There were seven of us, ages 16 to 73. The lady taking orders was very curt and unfriendly to my husband and I, when we asked questions. Having eaten Chinese food at various locations all over the world, we knew dishes weren't always the same as we are used to in the U.S. When asked if the sweet and sour pork came with rice she snapped, "No, it only come with pork. You want rice, you order rice." I asked if the special had lots of vegetables she snapped again, "Of course!" We ordered several dishes, including spring rolls. Our companions also ordered and we all waited for our food. Another couple came in to pick up their order. The lady couldn't have been sweeter to them. When we picked up our food, she wouldn't even speak to us. We arrived at our cottage to find neither soy sauce nor duck sauce was included. We all agreed we probably would have asked, but didn't want to get snapped at again. I think she should have asked if we needed soy sauce or duck sauce. As we talked about our experience, we found out she had been even ruder to the oldest member of our group. If I had known the way she talked to this sweet woman, I would have left without ordering. We were all well traveled and kind people. We don't talk treat people poorly. To tell a customer, "I already tell you 2 times." In response to a question, is poor customer service. The food was at best mediocre. I kept the menu, just so I could write a review and warn other travelers. Fortunately, this was the only bad experience we had during our 2 weeks in Scotland.

This is our "local" Chinese restaurant. Since it opened we have found it to be always clean, good value and delicious. The staff are polite and friendly. It seems to be popular with visitors, but every time I've been in there have been a healthy smattering of locals placing orders as well. This would not happen unless the food was consistently of good quality. The vegetables are fresh, nothing is swimming in grease as per some previous reviewers and everything is generous.

It might be the only one around but don't let that worry you because you won't be disappointed . Very good Chinese food .

Arrivés tard au phare, nous nous sommes retrouvés sans rien à manger. Le staff a accepté notre commande et le fait que nous mangions sur place alors qu'ils auraient dû fermer à 22h00. Merci à eux ! Les plats choisis étaient servis de manière généreuse et étaient bons. Les prix sont tout à fait corrects.

Lovely staff. Friendly, talkative Chinese lady who took our order and chatted while her husband prepared the food. Excellent value for money and large portions. Can recommend this take away if you are up in the area self-catering.

The ribs and spring rolls were yummy. Two of the other dishes were also tasty. However the sauce in the Thai curry was very watery.

Hubby had barbecue spare ribs and king prawn curry and fried rice. He said they were both lovely. I had chicken with cashew nuts and fried rice which had fatty skin still attached and was tasteless. The sauce was like dish water. Fried rice was £3 a portion. For a takeaway it was expensive. I suppose it's just your luck which dish you choose, mine went in the bin.

Chinese food at its worst . Overpriced and almost in edible . You could even taste that the cooking oil was old .

This is take away only. not a sit-in restaurant. However, it's a superbly well run small family business and very friendly. The staff prepared a huge carry out for us in about 15 minutes, we paid and went for a walk and when we returned it was all there boxed and ready to go with enough (FREE) prawn crackers to feed us alone. You can phone in your order then go to pick it up. Everything was freshly cooked and very delicious. A superb efficient service and you can watch your food being prepared. A nice clean big waiting area and comfortable. Great food enjoyed by all. Very good selection and we had a feast to remember. We will be back, the king prawn satay dish was one to remember and I'll be having that again next time I'm in Gairloch. 6 stars ******

A bit more expensive than we'd normally pay but very good food and excellent service. We would definitely go back next time we were in the area.

I've reviewed the place before and gave it the thumbs up. It was just as good this time too. Quite a little gem to find in such a wee place.

Had a lovely takeaway meal from here. The spring rolls were very crispy and delicious and the staff in the takeaway were very cheery.

Only chose one main meal - beef chow mein - possible the worst I've tasted. Very little beef and dry and tasteless. Staff were very friendly though.

Had to wait 40 mins for our meal, then when we got home found it to be very dry and not a lot of taste.

Fairly good chinese here a little more expensive than average but the food is very good! expect a slivering baby at the service counter lol, cute sure but appropriate? eh no!

We had to wait an hour for our food and when we eventually got it it wasn't what we had orderedso we had to wait another 15 mins , the food was bland , I've had a lot better

I can honestly say this is the best Chinese I've ever had! Singapore noodles lovely and spicy and really nice honey chicken, great takeaway, funny friendly service

Tasty freshly-prepared food, always served with a smile! the menu is varied and food is always ready on time.

Turned up at 9:55 one evening after getting back late from a boat trip. They close at 10:00 and I was met at the door by one of the staff telling me they had no rice or noodles left. It didn't matter because I had microwave rice back at the house. By now it was closing time but I asked if they could cook me a couple of chicken dishes, and they did! Now he could just have said we're closed, but I got two very good meals and left happy. Great and heroic service.
