he Old Cathay and The Phoenix in Old Harlow in Harlow

excellent very happy will order again

Great food ! speedy delivery and tasted great and hot !

Food was very nice and still very hot good quick service

the lemon chicken was dried up and tough, couldn't cut it and the chow mien tasted like it was cooked in old fat and over cooked and was quite hard.. Very disappointed as rarely had bad food from them before.

Food was over cooked & tasteless & dry would give zero if I could . Avoid…

Great food and great quality lovely and hot thank you so much.

Ordered a delivery, told I had to collect, ordered number of times every Friday , going to use Chinese down the road & not on line

By far the best chinese we have tried in Harlow. Everything was cooked perfectly, arrived early and was hot. Its rare to find a place that know how to make a decent satay sauce 👌 These guys are going to the top of our list.

Lovely food , good portions, delivery on time & nice & hot, cheers

Best buffet in harlow/ stortford area.. lovely staff and food cooked to order! Fair prices too, go every month!

Great restaurant, the food is always good and delivery is always super fast! 👍

delivery driver was polite . I'd like to say a big thank you to him . and thank you for a lovely meal

Always fresh and tasty food, always early and hot

Delicious as always,thanks guys

The food is mid at best. The chow mein tasted strange, the beef and broccoli tasted fishy and the salt and pepper chips were dry and tasteless. The duck pancakes were okay but not enough pancakes for that much duck - wouldn’t order again but that could be preference

Very tasty, good portions, would recommend

Arrived within in 15 minutes of ordering, food piping hot

food was delicious and had a nice hand written note in the package :)

Absolute worst Chinese meal. Dry dry dry!

Delightful food from delightful people.

The quality of food here far outshines the venue which sadly needs modernising/decoration. Wonderful buffet, can't be beaten.

superb food , really fast , love it ...☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Delicious the honey ribs were succulent

fantastic food , highly recommend and really quick ...great..

My first time here very good food at good price will be going again

Food inedible. So disappointing. Complete waste of money. Worst Chinese food we’ve ever had.

Dish was cold & noodles burnt at bottom

Excellent fast delivery really nice meal

Great delivery time - shame that some of the dishes contained a tiny amount compared to normal. Disappointed but that’s reflected In star rating

I did not get the Sprite with delivery. I lost my money.

food was cold and not good tast and also not a lot there

Food was lovely. Not greasy. Very impressed. But could have had more sweet and sour sauce. Portion too small.

Excellent service, great food, fast delivery! A+++

although it was late the food was lovely 😍

lovely food 😋 highly recommended 👌

The lamb for pancakes were all fat, the chicken balls were so hard and the fillet pork was fatty…..how was fillet pork fatty????

Delivery said 18:06 earliest so I got in the bath half hour before and then it arrived. The food was horrible sadly and neither of us could eat it. Waste of money :-(

was okay but would of liked more onions and battered chicken for sweet n sour chicken. the sauce wasn't very flavoured.

The spring rolls were off/stale smelt horrible, they were inedible, I'd like a refund for those, everything else was fine

food was good, still warm. I ordered over £65. everything its basic taste crispy fried beef very expensive £7 but quality and taste is awful and very little amount in the container definitely not worth the money.

very good service and we enjoyed your food thank you

Excellent service, food was spot on! A* (A+++)

ALL Food Cold, Salt & Pepper Squid was under cooked not edible and batter falling off, Rice dry, Chilli Beef Sauce watery and carrots over cooked, Chicken balls ok and given only half a pot of sweet n sour sauce. Very disappointing and as it was my birthday, dinner ruined 😞😢

Cold food, tiny portions for extortionate prices and items missing causing a ruined family meal. Remembered why I stopped using them a year ago

Spent £50 and probably the worst Chinese ever. Portions are tiny and not even left overs. Food mediocre, dry and no sauce or flavour

Good delivery, food was ok, disappointed no complimentary prawn crackers always seem to get them with other Chinese takeaways that’s why i didn’t order them, could of done with more sweet and sour sauce too.

Shocking! 50 minutes late! Got told the driver was outside, walked down to the main road, NOTHING! received a phone call. Order been sent to wrong address. We will send drinks as an apology! Nothing handed over. Never had this service before

This was one of the best Chinese takeaways I’ve ever order the duck was amazing and massive and the chow mein had so much flavour I honestly couldn’t have been happier

I frequently come here to eat the buffet and I’m never disappointed and the staff are all always perfect

food was lovely ,and special food request was perfect, 10 out of 10 , prompt delivery

Both chow meins tasted awful but the rest of the food was good

Start with the positive: Ribs and spring roll were nice Now the negative: the sweet and sour pork balls were inedible, tough, and one was pure gristle. The special fried rice wasn't fried but plain rice. The sweet and sour sauce was like a sugar syrup. The chips looked and tasted like they'd been kept warm for hours. Won't be buying from here again which is a pity as we have had good food in the past.

Amazing as always wouldn’t use anyone else

Really horrible, I tried to give it another chance but was a bad choice and a waste of money. The food is very blunt and tasteless ,greasy, lacks so much flavour. Got beef noodles , but beef tasted and looked awful , it may not even have been beef at all... don't waste money like I did!

The delivery time was quick. Came in 25-30 minutes instead of 50 minutes. However the egg fried rice the chicken chow mein and the beef chow mein was blank, no taste. However the chicken balls were nice tho.

My whole family ate here on Friday and since then we've all had food poisoning The beef in black bean sauce was honestly like dog food just awful will not be returning

I've been eating here for years. Always 5☆. For the first time ever, something was missed on my order, and after one phone call they was deeply apologetic and rectified it in 15 minutes. They will always be my first choice.

Appreciate it is chinese New Year. So we were expecting delays. But when our order arrived over 20 minutes late and with an item missing, we did request some money back as offered. However, the restaurant refused due to bad weather, delaying their deliveries. It's drizzling (light rain) at most. It's a ridiculous excuse. If they had said high demand. I might have understood. Just be honest instead of silly excuses. Food was cold and flavourless. Overall a really poor experience.

I was a regular but haven’t ordered for a while as prices jumped up but portions became much smaller, I thought I’d give it another go tonight, big mistake food was extremely cold even though it arrived half an hour before stated and I found 4 black hairs in my food 🤢

Ordered a number of dishes one of which was s&s prawn balls. You get the tiniest pot of sauce I’ve ever seen from a Chinese. Ridiculous. Especially as so expensive. Not impressed

The best Chinese food in Harlow!!!!

hot and tasty I will be using them again

Chicken balls rock solid and unedible and shredded beef chilli tiny portion, not worth the money!

Fantastic food. Tasted lovely and it arrived hot. Five stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Food delicious as always and piping hot.

Great hot food Great delivery' will be using again!

Delicious food. Friendly staff.

Lovely food as always, nice and hot and delivered on time 5*

Nice food, delivered hot and quickly, good deal on a Tuesday too

Always missing items. I think we ain’t gonna order from here anymore plus food was cold

wide menu choice of tasty food。recommend.

I love this restaurant, the delivery time is so fast!

Bland food not much of it for the price. Tasteless. Won’t order again

Awful-40 minutes late and the food was stone cold-I used to order regularly from them but NOT anymore as this is how they treat regular customers!!!

Delivery was 15 minutes early! Food was okay!

I've order several times from here always been my go to. Usually delivery is really quick but this took over an hour to arrive. Sadly the food was not the hottest and the quality just wasn't as good as it usually! Really disappointing

This was not a problem but welcome! IT was why We ordered from here because they are normally very prompt

Food is amazing! The staff were lovely and attentive. A really special family run restaurant. And really good value for money.

Took 2 hours to deliver from order time. Very small, cold portions of food wasn't what I hoped for.

Great restaurant, the delivery is so fast!

Food came quickly, but wasn't great quality. I've had better for less.

A great service - takeaways are normally early.

Turned up for the buffet at 8pm on a Saturday evening. Nothing in the buffet and told min two people. First time in the 25 years I've been going there. Never stepping foot in there again.

Definitely the last order I place with these. Missing items this time, call to try and sort out but all you hear is then arguing between themselves. Still not resolved so have to go through just eat.

Where do I even begin? Was showing on the app as out for delivery with the courier at 7:35 but didn't arrive til 8:20 - so i had to heat it all through in the oven as it onviously arrived cold. This obviously effected the food quality. The pancake roll though... it had a pool of oil in the bottom of the bag, I'm talking about 5 tablespoons worth, retrieving the roll from said bag I had to hold it for about 30 seconds whilst the oil poured out of it onto my plate. Has this place recently changed ownership? as I've had orders many times before and it's always been my go to place in terms of quality and arriving hot. Not any more I'm afraid. Such a let down and Chinese food ain't cheap at the best of times either.

Hi Please can you stop putting so much been sprouts in the chow mien, I ordered chow mein noodles not a bowl of bean sprouts

Food was delicious. Definitely will use again.

Lovely hot foot, fast delivery. Great value set meal.

Not tasty , rubbery beef , more bean shoots then noodles. Tasty ribs & plum sauce ,

Delicious as always however the chilli beef was only half full which was a little disappointing as it cost £7.

Ordered food and it took 1hr 45 minutes to get here, they said it was delivered at 19:10 when it was actually 19:50

Food was late…cold ….beef was rock hard…noodles were full of veg with little noodle very unhappy

Lovely good would highly recommend

Fantastic food best Chinese I’ve had in a long time highly recommend😊😊

Faultless as always. Piping hot, fresh and very delicious 👍

Made no sense they said food was on its way at 25 past 6. After half an hour food still hadn't arrived so I called the restaurant and they confirmed it had indeed been on its way for half hour and he would phone the driver to see where he was. They called back and said he was 10 mins away and they were so busy tonight they were doing multiple drops. So I said by the time the food gets here it would have been on its way for 40 mins or more won't it be cold? He said if it is just send it back. Food arrived at 20 past 7 almost an hour later and as I thought freezing cold. Won't ever use this restaurant again

Chicken curry was very nice although the amount of chicken was very tight (4 tiny pieces), but had to give 5* as the pineapple frittas were amazing!!

Excellent arrived early really lovely meal

Good fresh food at a good price

Before the star rating changes on this I have it a 1 in fact not even worth that, I always order from here but no more…..dumplings were burnt! Actually never seen burnt dumplings…..I know they call it crispy aromatic duck but this was so burnt and singed that it was un eatable not to mention how late it was! Disgusting food waste of money went in the bin!
