I'm not one to write reviews, I had to register with Tripadvisor to write this. Probably the best Chinese I've had in my time. Ordered three times now after discovering through a friend. Food is always fresh, presented well and not overly greasy. I recommend the salted chilli crispy fried chicken strips, prawn toast and egg fried rice also quality from here. Also like to mention the delivery driver as he went to extra efforts to actually locate my property with a weird postcode even when I said I was happy to meet at the same place as my previous order. This Chinese isn't close to me but definitely worth the delivery charge.

Everything seems to have gone up (by quite a bit) which is really sad. As I was saying they other day how nice and cheap it was compared to others. Anyway, on arrival the food was barely lukewarm, they’d given me the wrong spring rolls and no prawn crackers (disappointing). Also as we live a five minute drive from the take out, there should be no reason for this. We also had a problem on Mother’s Day, where they’d forgot one of the dishes, and the lady on the phone said, sorry and that a discount or free meal for next time…..which didn’t happen today. They had No recollection of that even happening. We had a lovely meal on Mother’s Day, so I took a chance on a meal today, but sadly will not be going again.

Chicken chow mein was very bizarre- a bed of soggy noodles at the bottom with a very sweet black bean like sauce with rubbery pieces of chicken and raw onion on top. Satay sauce was VERY sweet and runny, unlike any I've had before. Even the prawn crackers were bland and tasteless. Wouldn't go back there, very below average meal. Also if you are planning on picking up from this restaurant, make sure you arrive 15 mins late, as your meal won't be ready when they say it will be on the phone.

We ordered three weekends on the trot. Never again. First time we were told 45-50 mins for delivery. After an hour and a half we called. They checked the address they had was correct and called the delivery driver - he was on the wrong street (we are local). Food arrived an hour and 40 mins after it was ordered and was cold.Second time we decided to collect. Got it home and an item was missing. They said we could go back and collect it and could not drop it off despite us having already been out once. We left it as the meal would have been cold. No refund offered for the item we did not get.This weekend we ordered against my better judgement. We collected. Got it home and an item was missing. We called and were told we had not ordered or paid for it. The order had been repeated back to us and I have since checked and not only had we paid for it, we’d also been overcharged by a pound. We were told, after pointing out it had also happened the week before and we had gone without another item we had paid for, that they would drop it off but we’d have to pay. It was a portion of salt and chilli chips which probably cost them about 30 pence....., By the time we would have received it our meal would have been cold .... again. Prawn and cashew nuts was awful (normally good) with squishy prawns, barely any nuts and a thick sauce. So sadly we will not be going back. We have spent over £100 in three weeks but I would rather drive to Melbourne than have such poor service!

Had some good food from here in the past, ordered some food from their sister restaurant (same owners) the golden dragon shardlow in lockdown to help out a local business.For the same meal golden dragon 26 quid, hell yen 19 ! Questioned the boss as to why - cited greater overheads cos he’s a restaurant ??? Not if he’s shut, with no waiting staff - and if he treats long-standing customers of 30 + yrs like this then his overheads vs takings won’t please the bank.Called hell yen tonight to resume our normal takeaway service and were told the mini ‘Boss’ had told them not to take our order following our complaint about the service as above and the fact that the spicy dish I ordered had no chillies in it !Fellow customers, be warned - if you want to be treated with contempt, these are the places to useNot happy

Ordered a takeaway at the weekend and the whole experience was terrible. To start with, it took the food an hour and a half to arrive when we'd been assured it would be no longer than 45 minutes. On arrival we had a missing dish so had to phone back to get this re-delivered. We finally sat down to eat our meal, which was now barely warm, and the chicken balls we received were pretty much raw - the chicken is clearly processed it was so rubbery. Really disappointed and when I rang back to complain the manager was extremely rude, definitely won't be ordering from the again.

Having ordered a takeaway at 18.34 (just checked my phone). I said I would like to collect. 20 mins the manager replied? Ok no prob I replied. Arriving a little late at 7 0 clock I will admit (I expect to wait 5/10 min) I did not expect to wait till 7.30. Now if the manager was full of apologies we are a little behind, fine but no just carried on in panic, and I mean panic.Customers coming in of the street to order were not warmly received, the exact opposite, eyes rolling, tutting, answering the phone in mid of their order with no excuse me one minute, appalling.The service was shocking. Sorry this is the first time I have ever given a review and have been so angry I have not eaten. To be fair the rest of the family seem to be enjoying the food. Maybe I am just a sad old git. A lot of improvement required on customer service.

The food has got a lot better over the last few months but the manager needs to stop kissing his teeth at his customers and learn some manners. Never says thank you and is miserable and ruins the place. If the owners are reading this then this guy is known for his attitude and maybe you would have more customers if he was pleasant. Terrible terrible attitude problem. He’s in the wrong job.

Having moved into the village 4 weeks ago (and we love love love a good Chinese on a Friday or Saturday night!) We though we had to give our view about this place... as we have done about the other restaurants and bars we have visited so far! (all have been excellent may we add!!We went here in our first week of living here... and then gave it a second chance last week! - we will not be giving it a 3rd time lucky!The customer service (and to be fair you don't expect much in a take away!) is totally non-existent... the guy who works "on the counter" is not interested in customers at all, he is more bothered about watching the TV than dealing with customers... he wants to get your order and money in as quick as possible even if there is no que.The food is very poor quality and cold. In fact it is about as cold as the person who works on the counter. I am not sure if he is the owner but if he is he needs to go back to manners school and also learn where to get better ingredients from and to show his chefs what to do with them!I don't want to be too scathing but people this place is not great and the only reason why people clearly go there is because there is no other (to our knowledge) Chinese Take-Away in the village... if another one opened this place would be stuffed!Needless to say we still have our Chinese but we order it in from Kegworth...You will see from all other reviews that we have made from our travels around the world that we don't say somewhere is terrible lightly... in fact this is the first time!

Travelling home on the M1, thought we would call in for a late night supper and phoned an order through for 2 Beef Curries with Boiled Rice. I arrived to pick it up at 11.50pm. The guy behind the counter said ''Sorry, no boiled rice, only chips''. I said ok I would take that. He then said we have fried rice, so I said I would take that instead of chips. Finally, he said sorry, we have run out of curry. We use this takeaway on a regular basis and usually get good service. The bottom line on this occasion was, it was late and they wanted to getaway, hence the series of excuses. Begs the question why did they take the telephone order in the first place. The end result is, they have just lost 2 regular customers.

I moved to Donington and was pleased there was a takeaway a few doors down. It didn't take long before I boycotted this awful place altogether.The food is OK (if you're hungry and can't be bothered to cook) and I went once a week on average. Before long I became sick of being treated like dirt. The guy behind the counter sniffs and snorts, watches TV while being completely uninterested in the fact you're keeping him in business, doesn't say please or thank you and is basically rude and arrogant. I've seen people complain before and I finally told him I'd never come back. Avoid this place unless you like an average chinese, high prices and being treated like a nobody.

Seven Star is by far the best Chinese take away in Leicester. John is always kind, the food is excellent and have never had any issues. They even make deep fried salt and pepper tofu special for me as I miss this dish and is usually only available in London. I'm not a veggie but love deep fried tofu. Everything is excellent, soups, appetisers (portions are huge), Crispy Duck, Peking Duck, crispy shredded beef, crispy Lemon chicken... just everything is the best. I often ask for cashews in my dishes. Feeling hungry now after writing this review! They are always happy to accommodate my extras or changes. They go out of their way for my whole family and are always welcoming.

We came here on Friday 25th October for my sisters 18th birthday meal there was 15 of us upstairs. I wanted to write and say what a fantastic experience we had I’m so glad I chose Wong KWEI. We had a couple in the group with severe ADHD, and on a couple of occasions it got a little heated. We struggle to go out to dinner because of this as a family but wow the staff were incredible. So professional, they handled the situation fantastically. There was a lot of different tabs but the drinks and food all came on time there was no errors. The food was amazing!!!! But it was the young waiter. A male dark hair, he really made the experience, he couldn’t do enough for us, he didn’t make us feel uncomfortable when the children were playing up. Overall he made what is usually a stressful situation for us really wonderful so thankyou very much 🙂
