Hoo Wah in Sheffield

Disgusting slop, worst Chinese I've ever had.

Always love it. Every time I order from here it's delicious. My friends and family agree and it's definitely our favourite Chinese takeaway, you will never find salt and pepper bean curd this good, it's so moreish and so different (in a good way) to the version you would get from other takeaways. They do some pretty nice Japanese style dishes too, e.g., Udon, and we're always happy with the price. Even though it's a takeaway, the food tastes very fresh. The rating should definitely be higher, don't be put off by it! I'm not in the UK at the moment and am missing Hoo Wah a lot, always a 5 star takeaway for me 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This was the worst takeaway we have had in Sheffield. The crispy chilli beef tasted like it had been refried multiple times and was spat out. The lamb with the pancakes also evidently just chunks of dry reheated meat. One of the mushrooms in the stir fried veg had grit in it. The special choymein was revolting. £42 in total and 2/3 if it thrown away. I am concerned about the hygiene standards from this takeaway provider.

Wife and I still talk about how amazing Hoo Wah is even years after moving overseas. Used to go weekly many years ago. Now we go here every time we visit the UK and it never disappoints.

Ordered bbq spare ribs and salt and pepper chips. What I got was a bag of tasteless bones with a flavourless pot of sauce and reheated chips with 3 little pieces of onion and a dusting of powder. Avoid.

Food great, but service was disappointing. Got an email to say order delayed and got a new time, went at that time to collect. She said ‘it’ll be 1 minute’ and then went into the back and started cooking! It took 20 mins! I get staffing issues but just be honest with people, we would have gone elsewhere

Ordered a couple dishes and they were all well nice

Ordered from hoo wah June 1st 2021 never ever again Tasteless full of salt the meat I’m just speech less like rubber that wasn’t a special chow mein who ever cooked that meal needs to go to the nearest unemployment office because they need to get the sack disgrace I will not spend my hard earned money on the this pile of crap please who ever reads this post it’s the truth

absolutely the worst Chinese ever ordered from here tonight as our usual one was closed presumably due to the weather as they are normally open attitude of person answering the phone was absolutely disgusting at the end of the call she didn't say how much it would be or how long instead just said ok bye with an attitude food arrived stone cold it was that cold the curry sauce was setting food tasted awful did not enjoy it one bit avoid Hoo Wah at all costs spent £26.80 for what I decided to treat my partner tonight as she has done so much at work being an essential worker during covid- 19 and she deserves it and even she hated the food

Worse food I have ever tasted in my whole life and I'm not exaggerating. I'd say that the rice dishes tasted burnt, chicken was overcooked and was like rubber. The chips were so greasy and tasted off, if that's even possible. Took 3 hours to deliver, £31 for that.

This is by far the worst takeaway I have ever ordered from.. i ordered the food from just eat and was told it would be 45 minutes delivery time after 1 hour and 30 minutes and 2 phone calls the food finally arrived, my order came to £20.40. when the driver got here he told me to place the money on my step and he would leave the food when I closes the door... so far so good.. I shouted thru the door to keep the change to which he said "not enough money.. and wanted £23.90.. I checked just eat and the order confirmed it to be £20.40.. but at this stage Is waited that long I could have eaten a scanny horse stuck between 2 bread vans so I went back upstairs for the rest of the money and paid it anyway. After coming inside I decided to ring the takeaway to ask why my order was more to which the woman told me I had rang them to order crispy seaweed that I never did. I mean no human being eat that do they.. she then called me a lier and put the phone down.. I was angry but by this stage I had stage 1 anorexia so decided to eat what I had (minus the seaweed) the problems got worse, the salt and pepper chips was I think made out of bicycle iTunes and the crispy shredded beef mooed at me when I opened the lid... it was the worse takeaway I've ever ordered and the only one I've received that came woth something I didn't order and got charged for... I will never order from here again and am actively campaigning for the government to close this eatery unless you like on tube and vegan ocean plants. Worst food ever

So many Chinese takeaways around this part of town. Hoo Wah doesn’t have any standout attributes really.

We pre ordered for this evening for the food to arrive at 8pm. I have just been on Just Eat to discover my order had been cancelled! Nobody bothered to contact me. No explanation. Disgusting customer service.

We use this takeaway very often through just eat but this evening I ordered by phone direct from their own menu only to be charged £3 more when the driver arrived.The driver rang the shop the very abrupt lady on the phone said I had wrong menu to which I said I have your online menu, she said it’s old one, I said take it off then, as we had waited over an hour after being told half an hour and just wanted to eat I said I’ll pay it but we won’t use you again , otherwise I would have sent it back, 3 regular customers lost!

Food apauling. Rice reheated and over cooked. Ordered beef not even sure it was beef. Small portions. Charged £1.50 delivery on a £17 order. Attitude of staff disgraceful. Delivery driver aggressive. Worst chinese food ever ordered. Do not use!!!

There are several takeouts close to this on the Middlewood “circuit” but this is always my preferred Chinese food place. Lovely food - no issues.

Literally the worst takeaway I have ever eaten. Disgusting flavourless food whilst also being massively over seasoned. Also missing prawn crackers we paid for from the order which they of course wouldn’t send a driver back with ( I wouldn’t either but it’s besides the point ). What did arrive was literally inedible

Literalmente la peor comida para llevar que he comido. Repugnante comida sin sabor, pero también masivamente condimentada. También faltan galletas de gambas que pagamos en el pedido con el que, por supuesto, ellos no enviarían un conductor (yo tampoco lo haría pero no es el punto). Lo que sí llegó fue literalmente incomible.

Ordered takeaway tonight and was very disappointed sweet and sour chicken only got 6 balls and very over cooked so chicken was very dry and batter to hard to eat. Chicken chow main the potion was very small compared to other take aways around and more expensive, will not be going back again.

Absolutely disgusting could not eat ended in bin total waste of £30 full of grease and tasted nothing like a Chinese tasted like dog food should be shut down

Awful awful awful Would have been 0 if I could Placed the order on just eat due to be delivered at 9:15pm at 9:30 rang to ask where it was told another 20 mins I offered to collect it was told same at 10pm still no food rang the restaurant 26 times was clear the phone had been taken off the hook So contacted just eat to cancel the order Food arrived 10:10pm cold and wet from the rain told him I didn’t want it he said do what you want with it so put it in bin Had numerous phone calls up until 1am about where the food was The drive came back and collect the food from the bin god know what happens to it after that

Always been impressed with the food which is good quality for the price, however the place needs cleaning up and a desperate makeover. Have stopped ordering from here since seeing the 1* cleanliness rating, which is a shame as never had a bad meal but not willing to risk it. Clean the place up and work on food hygiene to restore customer confidence.

Food came and was cold chicken was so dry and I'd seen more meat on my big toe than what was on the BBq spare ribs will not be ordering again

Always decent food. Would recommend to anyone in the area

Beef chowmein was very salty to eat and pork balls was soggy and pork was dry and hard

I have never had chicken and pineapple that tasted so bad, I put a folk full in my mouth and spat it back out it made me gag. I will never order from here again. The egg fried rice tasted funny the plain chow mein was salty and the crispy seaweed also didn't taste right. I normally order from wok master on Wordsworth drive and their food is excellent but they were closed so thought I'd give these a try what a mistake. The food was not of a good standard and anyone who has given a 4 or 5 star go to wok master and then you will know a 5 star Chinese. The meal cost £27 and it ended up in the bin we all had a sandwich instead.

I've been ordering food from here for over 25 years and still love it. Good size portions at reasonable prices. Would definitely recommend.

Curry rojo tailandés pidió que lo que me dieron fue turquía finas lonchas en una salsa con un poco de chili también pollo en salsa satay ordenados. Lo que llegó y en rodajas finas en salsa, Turquía no había señales de ningún satay. De enviarlo y acabo algo de igual calidad, si no peor. Llamamos volver a expresar mi opinión y me dijeron y repito las palabras "no te importa tenemos un montón de clientes " entonces ella colgó agradable innecesariamente decir que no será pedir de nuevo y yo le aconsejo a nadie más a

Tasteless and over priced. Had no cash so gave it ago on Justeat, full of bones I mean thick bones in foo yung, chips were soggy, prawns had hard bits inside them.. vile all round, my partner was sick afterwards. So after spending 20 odd quid on Chinese half of it got thrown in the bin. Never ever order from this place again shocking!

Food was awful, couldn't even eat it most got thrown away, over priced for what you get and very salty, would defiantly not recommend this! Needs closing down.

ok so, i dont normally leave bad reviews i dont like doing it, but this is below standard, crispy shredded beef is not crispy and portion is small. deep fired squid is inedible as its the soggiest thing ive ever touched, obviously just microwaved. i mean really im not a chef and i wouldnt ever try and sell that as fod, quite frankly disgusting. rice is ok but pricey, i dunno theres much better in the area Huang Lou Xing is fantastic this place sucks pretty hard sorry guys, but what do you expect overcharging and not remotely delivering a nice meal?

OK but a bit tasteless compared to other takeaways in the area. Good price though

Really don't know how this place had such a high star rating. Only thing I can think of is it literally took about 20minutes to arrive. Food was horrendous. Tasteless and generally very poor. Tiny portions too. Was bitterly disappointed

The food was really nothing special. We waited 2 Hours. We are just wondering why this place is the best rated in Sheffield!!! There are plenty of better places, this is probably among the worse.

Delivery took 1hr 50 mins. I called the takeaway 3 times. The lady there lied to me and told me my order was out (45 minutes before it arrived) the driver said it had only been in his car for 5 minutes. I was expecting an hour wait. I wasn't expecting to be lied to. Disgusting service. Could be the best Chinese in the world but I won't be going there again.

Waited 1 hour and 40 min for delivery rang up after an hour and was told would be 10 minutes and food arrived 40 minutes later. Food was great but no apology from driver.

Still unsure what to write here ordered well over an hour and 45 mins and still waiting even after phone calls to chase (glad I paid before delivery...not!)

Can't fault the service but the food was quite average.

Think the restaurant needs to read the recipe for satay chicken... Thought satay was peanut, not gravy! Didn't know which dish was which, all looked and tasted the same...

I have not often left a review, but feel compelled to. Often we are quick to complain, but I feel a need in this instance to do the opposite. I have just enjoyed one of the best meals I can remember from a takeaway. My wife agrees, and she is a weird vegetarian and only orders Mushroom Curry. I won't lie, the portions are less than the places we usually order from, but to me this is not a problem - the portion sizes were 100% spot on, not too big, not too small. I still feel full up, but the difference is I have not wasted any of the food. I particularly enjoyed the spicy salt and pepper chips. Thanks - I will become a repeat customer!

Took 2 hours and was terrible quality. Rang 4 times and every time it was 'on its way'. Would not recommend this restaurant.

The food was inedible it was like a plate of salt and it all ended up in the bin.

Good timing on delivery but the food was far from satisfactory.

You don't get as much food as you do from some other Chinese takeaways but it was good quality and will probably order again

Subpar offerings for vegans and vegetarians. I don't know what my fried beancurd was swimming in, but it wasn't black bean sauce. My mixed vegetables were in a similar "gravy". My salt and pepper chips were also a disappointment because they weren't proper chips! If I wanted oven chips I'd pop to Morrisson's!

The chips were not very good and the shredded chilli beef was very dry.

Food was excellent and delivered within the time frame. One of the best Chinese take outs in Sheffield!

Been using this chinese for a while now always good food but tonight has been one of the best by far

Greasy won ton, cold rice, tough chewy meat... The list goes on, the prawns were pleasant, although cold.

We received ribs with gravy instead of BBQ sauce. When we phones to tell them this and to see if we could have the right order, they insisted it was BBQ and then hung up. Very disappointed in service!

Very horrible food from here, very and I mean very salty... I'm not sure if they spilt half a ton of salt in my dish but it sure did taste like it. The chicken nuggets were dry and also the chips did taste like they'd been stale for over weekly period. However the can of fanta was nice :-)
