I popped in one lunchtime for six portions of Singapore noodles to takeaway for my freezer. I also asked for two portions of satay sauce. I was charged £55 and when I asked why it was so much more expensive than the restaurant menu price I was told "bigger portions". The single person portions came in standard takeaway foil containers with cardboard lids and the satay sauce amounted to just a couple of teaspoon measures languishing at the bottom of a styrofoam cup. I've eaten Singapore noodles in this restaurant on several occasions and the portion sizes were no different to those in the foil containers. I have no complaints about the quality of the food, only the lack of transparency when it comes to how much the customer will be charged for it. If you're going to charge takeaway customers more than you charge diners sitting in your restaurant, for whatever reason, at least be upfront about it and have a takeaway menu showing the prices you will charge, instead of asking for what you think you can get away with. I won't be going back.

Lovely food and service. Found this after asking in a pub for a good Chinese. They found us a table, we had satay chicken, peking crispy duck, hoi sin pork, sweet and sour pork, special chow mein and prawn crackers. Very friendly and good service and a reasonable price. There was a bit on condensation dripping from ceiling and owner did offer to move us. Good find.

Very loud inside with people shouting. Constant knocking from the walls. We waiting 40 minutes for a staff member to take our order. While we were eating the very plain food water started dripping into our food from the roof. After talking with the owners they mentioned it was only condensation which we felt was not an acceptable solution, they gave 10% off our bill, we didn’t finish the food… The food especially Kung pao chicken was battered? Never in all my travels have I seen it done this way? Perhaps it could be served in a multipurpose way with other things on the menu? All in all very disappointing food for such a highly rated restaurant

This place is a hidden gem! We discovered it last year when looking for a Chinese takeaway that could cater for a gluten free diet, and I actually had a good choice of dishes. The take out was lovely and we said one day we’d be back for a meal. That day was today and we turned up on the off chance that there would be a table at 5.30 when Hoi Sum opens, and we were lucky. Overhearing conversations with others coming through the door later revealed they were fully booked for the evening, but they didn’t turn people away, and instead looked to see how they could be accommodated. Our food was delicious and being coeliac I don’t usually have much of a choice in Chinese restaurants, so to read the allergen menu and see so many dishes not containing gluten was an unusual treat. We had beef in black bean sauce and tofu and cashew nuts in yellow bean sauce, and Chinese vegetables with garlic, plus egg fried rice. Delicious! And the portion sizes are generous too. The service is excellent, very friendly, attentive and efficient, and we won’t wait so long to go back for another meal! Thank you Hoi Sum!

Best Chinese food around. Tonight we had sizzling fillet steak with spring onions and ginger which is delicious, really tender. And Singapore Vermicelli noodles which has different meats and prawns and veg and is also delicious plus kung po prawns which are superb.

This restaurant doesn't look great on the outside but it is worth going in. The menu is what you would expect and the quality and portion size are very good. Very friendly and efficient staff. It is a bit hard to find but if it wasn't you might find it hard to get a table. It is clearly popular with the locals.

Hoi Sum is the best chinese we have been to (we are from London and have tried many around the country) The restaurant is 1 min from Eastbourne Station and intimate enough for couples to enjoy yet has larger tables for groups. Best to book in advance. The staff are professional and attentive, they recognise us when we return and make us feel welcome. The food is superb. We had sizzling steak with ginger and spring onions. And spicy vermicelli and kung po prawns and prawns with ginger and spring onions. All was excellent. Plus all the dishes we see come out the kitchen look superb.

A fabulous restaurant with a wonderful ambience & delicious food. This was our first time to eat here and it was a perfect choice (actually found by our friend on trip advisor!) The restaurant is tucked away along a narrow street, we’ve lived near Eastbourne all our lives and never knew it was there. It’s a great find! We had a lovely evening with our friends ~ and it is not the last! Food was plentiful, fantastic choice and quality was first class. Everything steaming hot, and freshly made. We had starters, then duck, followed by mains. We definitely ordered too much - we may of continued, but King (the owner) told us we’d ordered enough. And he was right! Fortunately, we were able to take the leftovers home….. No complaints about the price ~ it’s very reasonable. Set menus are available as well as choosing items individually. A number 1 place to eat for us! ☺️ Thank you for a great evening King and the lovely lady who served us.

This was without exception the best Chinese food we have had. The restaurant is down a tiny side street and is absolutely lovely inside. The decor is great with natural brick walls. The seating is really comfortable with ample spaces between tables and a really nice atmosphere. The service from King and the lovely lady (sorry we didn’t get your name) was brilliant and we couldn’t have asked for more. Onto the food. PERFECT. No other words needed. I would recommend this restaurant a million times over and will definitely be returning very soon! Oh, and such good value for money. A meal for four, starters, duck and mains (we totally over ordered and even King said that’s enough, which you never get!) and drinks including a bottle of Prosecco was only £153! Such a lovely night. Thank you so much

Very warm welcome from King. We had a starter for two which was excellent, very hot and very tasty. The chicken chow mein, sweet and sour chicken and lemon chicken were the best we have ever tasted. Good quaity ingredients, very hot and wonderful taste. The atmosphere was very friendly and welcoming. We were on holiday but would come back to Eastbourne just for another meal here. The Langtons B and B, where we were staying, recommended this restaurant and we were very glad they did as it is tucked away but well worth finding. Thanks again for a wonderful meal.

My wife and I visited the Hoi Sum ("Happy") Chinese Restaurant on 15 September 2018. We had previously been in October 2016 and thought it so good we had to return. The restaurant is located in a narrow back street but this does not detract from its cosy and welcoming atmosphere. The manager "King* is very friendly and the food we had was simply excellent in every way. We highly recommend this restaurant and will certainly visit again the next time we are in Eastbourne.

I am having to unfortunately delete my old review and post a new one. For the third time last evening (27 Oct evening 7/730pm) I visited this place this time with my friends. The initial 2 times,I have visited alone and there was a different server (female) and she was lovely. The female server/restaurant manager last evening was ridiculously rude and downright racist. One can be having a bad day but in her case she was consistently mean. I am happy to discuss this further when and if someone responds as I don't think the details require a public audience. But if you are in hospitality, the literal lease you could do is smile and respond. The food was great as usual, the portion size still a wee bit of a problem.

Everything was tasty but the beef with ginger and spring onion was a bit tough. Thank you for the free prawn crackers

I ordered a delivery and My curry turned up cold, I called the restaurant to inform them and they were extremely rude and said it can’t be cold and refused to exchange. When I repeated that it was stone cold not even warm I was told I’m lying because it can’t be cold. Will never order from here again
