Hopsing Chinese restaurant in South Kesteven

Hop song was my families favourite restaurant in my years growing up in Grantham. I have been to many Chinese restaurants in the 30 years since I moved but none of them make egg drop soup and deep fried scallops. After 30 years they are still on the menu, still delicious and still freshly cooked. Thank you for keeping them on your menu.

We had a very nice meal and we found it very good value. The food was fresh and hot and we had no issues with anything we ordered. The food came how we wanted it- for example without onions. The restaurant was nice and staff were attentive. We would eat here again.

Excellent authentic food. The food was made to order and quickly arrived and got. Lovely smiley Shirley who is the owner was very friendly and polite. Excellent customer service. Lovely cosy restaurant. Will definitely recommend anyone who comes to Grantham to experiment Hop Sing cuisine.

Worst customer service in my life. Now I'm being called non stop from the business owner harrasing me. Ordered a take away though Uber and was waiting for it to be delivered. Chose the A1 menu for one and some ribs. Gave them a call saying I ordered BBQ Ribs, but I would like to have them without it. All good here. 45 min later my order was delivered and I started to eat. Opened the chicken chop suey - not for me. Most watery, sweetest sugary dish that I ever had. 4 pieces of chicken in a whole container, 6 at max. Open the ribs, all good here. Chicken balls full of dough, barely any chicken, and very soggy. Looking for my rice, nowhere to be found. I was missing the rice and the rolls. I got in contact with Uber, and they refunded me part of the order. Next day I started to get calls from the shop owner asking me why did I asked them for a refund... I have explained that I was missing items and they told me that I should have called them and they could have send their driver back. I replied: I have ordered trough Uber so they could deal with it. Not my fault you didn't check the order before packing it. Mistakes happen. Take it to them. Then all the swearing started. I hanged up and now I'm being called non stop with threats and swearing. Worst experience ever! I would definitely not give them another chance.

Fantastic food can't fault it, staff brilliant, friendly, attentive best food experience in Grantham

Stumbled across this restaurant by mistake, was looking for the Japanese restaurant. Doesn’t look much from outside but I noticed they did a banquet for £21.90 on a Sunday. You can order as much as you like and everything is cooked fresh for you. Couldn’t...

Stay away from this place I got a takeaway from here 11/9/22 at 5.15pm Salt an pepper prawns Battered pork rib Chips Wonton soup After eating this I didn’t feel great an just carried on my evening. The food was very dry an all I...

Arrived in Grantham looking for somewhere to have dinner. Happened to park right outside this restaurant. It doesn't look much from the outside, but we took a chance and went in. We were the only ones sitting in, but others were in to collect takeaway....

9 of us went to Hop Sing last night for a friend's birthday. Shown an almost £25pp option that was an unlimited menu and lots of dishes that sounded insane. For this, you could order up to 6 starters at a time (decent portions but...

Great staff. Great service. Lovely quality food. Can’t go wrong with a trip to hop sing! Great all you can eat buffet and party menus

having just joined,I am new to this review stuff, I go to the place almost every week, nice food,service,atmosphere.

we have just had a buffet lunch for 35 delivered to work by Hop Sings Grantham to celebrate Chinses New Year, excellent service from Shelly who organised the buffet, spot on time delivery and excellent food and certainly very plentiful. I would highly recommend them...

This is the place to go in Grantham if you want to enjoy authentic, hearty Oriental food with Cantonese, Malaysian and Chinese offerings available. Hop Sing's Tudor facade is modest and traditional thereby easy to miss among the bright lights on Westgate. Step in to...

One starter didn’t arrive, staff were rude when this was mentioned, with the waitress shouting to kitchen staff that ‘the table was complaining’, with the whole restaurant listening. Main course food was nice, but the portions very small. Waited twenty minutes trying to pay, eventually...

My father has dined at this restaurant for over 60 years Hop Sing may have changed hands in regards to management over the years but the food and service is as excellent as it was all those years ago, and the lovely lady who runs...

This is the worst dining experience I have ever had. Food was POOR. Staff are extremely rude. Avoid!

Food is amazing as always great service great manager great wine and unbelievably good taste on the food have eaten here a lot definitely worth coming

We visited Hop Sing on a Saturday evening for my son's birthday meal. My last visit was about 16 years ago. The food did not disappoint. Everything was hot and tasty. Our main criticism is in respect of the orders being muddled up. One son...

Hop Sing has been our 'go to' Chinese restaurant for over 25 years, sadly after our last visit on 14th August 2021 for a wedding anniversary meal we won't be going back. Formica topped table gave it the feel of a greasy spoon cafe, where...

Food great, very friendly atmosphere. Smiles all round. They couldn't do enough for us. Food came out prompt piping hot. see you soon.

Me and my family came here on Friday night for a meal in, very sad to see it was nearly empty in the restaurant. The waitresses were extremely friendly and welcoming. We had 8 starters, 6 main courses between us and every dish was delicious,...

We support the dine out to help out and was looking forward to going for a Chinese . Firstly I was not at all impressed that there was no social distancing at the tables at the back of the restaurant. To many tables clumped together...

We eat Chinese food every week. This is, BY FAR, one of the worst food we have EVER eaten from one. O.K objectively: The Prawn Crackers were soggy, stale and had no bite to them...they were just a fatty mess. The ridiculously overpriced Prawn Toasts...

Ordered online,pick up 30 mins later,very good value,very tasty,got 20% off order,good size portions,I would certainly recommend them and I will certainly use them again,thank you hopsing x

We wanted a takeaway as our usual was shut. I called to be told I have to other through an app. So after downloading I ordered but wasn’t sure if it had worked so I called them because I couldn’t put a time in it...

My partner and I decided to try somewhere different in Grantham and we were so glad we did. We chose the all you can eat menu where the dishes are freshly cooked and brought to your table. There was an excellent selection of starters and...

It's been a while since we last visited Hop Sing and so no surprise there were a lot of new faces and it was nice to see the inside had had a 'face lift' too :-) I booked a table for 2 and we arrivead...

I have eaten in many Chinese restaurants all over, of all different standards! But this one takes the title for the worst experience I have ever had food wise across the board! Served cold food that was partially heated up! So much have been previously...

just been for a lunchtime deal. 4 courses for 9.50. all very good . as much as anyone would want for a midday meal. very good service and times between courses spot on . in and out in an hour. what more does anyone want...

We dined here as a family for my daughters 12th birthday and I can honestly say this is not just the best meal I have had in Grantham but the best I have had in Lincolnshire since moving here from the south west. Firstly the...

Its been about a year since we last visited this Chinese restaurant and its still the same old tired place and needs a makeover. The last time we visited we were informed by the waitress that it was under new ownership and was going to...

£9.50 a head 3 course meal. flipping awful,and so tiny! wasa great place about 20 years ago...now just run down..poor food place

It was a good meal out at Hop Sing. Restaurant Décor was good, good service, better ambience. There was a time delay in serving the food but its okay the time we went as the restaurant was nearly full

Great food and customer service My first time at a Chinese restaurant in grantham I liked the sui mai and special noodle the most. Thanks xx

Once again another lovely meal . The owner always makes us feel very welcome and takes the time out to have a chat. The food is always plentiful and tastes delicious.

Just returning home after a delicious Chinese New Year meal with an excellent dragon dance. A most enjoyable meal and evening, our aunty has been coming here for over 60 years which speaks for itself! Keep up the good work! Thank you we shall come...

We came today with our aunty who has been coming for years but she has been unwell and not been out since the changeover. We all had a fabulous meal the lemon chicken was the best we have had and the prawn dumplings delicious as...

Great food.Great staff.Great service not much to say its an amazing restaurant and a must if you local to grantham

Very dirty looking, I wouldn't want to eat there. Which is a shame as it used to be one of the best in town. The carpet looks disgusting.

Went as a treat - portions very small plus we ordered three rice , we were served a cereal bowl size for 2 adults and 2 children. Then the chicken with pineapple which seemed to be 3 chunks of pineapple to 1 pieces of chicken....

Very sorry to say but a big decline in quality of food under the new :Management. Deep fried spare ribs were under cooked.

Excellent food , staff were very friendly, price was very good , nice surroundings, and that bit extra with the birthday cake was lovely.

Recently visited and found the service to be excellent. The food was extremely tasty and plentiful. The decor looks like it has been freshened up but the covering on the booths and the carpet could do with being upgraded. However they can be forgiven for...

The service here is exceptional, the staff are so attentive, warm and friendly. A lot of buffet style sundays mean food seems to be left in warmed dishes but here you order whatever you like and it is all prepared fresh and therefore arrives hot...

Sad, shabby and very tired decor matched by very poor food Once the best in town. Not now! The whole place looked like it needed a thorough clean andcomplete refurbishment

Food was nice but when 4 of you order the same time, they had set meal we had mixed dishes and theirs never appeared then on asking was told 5 minutes. Then when it finally arrived we had already eaten most of ours they bought...

We came here for New Years Eve and had a really good time . We all ordered different dishes and they all came together and it was very good the service was very efficient and there were lots of staff on . We were sat...

Evening started ok but rapidly went downhill. We ordered set menu plus extra dishes to account for additional child. Main meal arrived in drugs and drabs, our 'hot' plates were cold before the food arrived. The extra dishes had to be requested twice after the...

Went to Hop Sing for a pre-Christmas family get together, 11 of us. Got there early so had a couple of restorative G&T's after a stressful afternoon, only to be "accosted" by a very atractive young lady who wanted a selfie with me - something...

I have been going to Hop Sing in Grantham for 30 years and in all that time I have never had to remark or complain about bad food. I went tonight Christmas eve in total there were 18 of us. I have never eaten such...

First class business man lunch, excellent staff, fantastic food, excellent choice and good value. Good atmosphere and staff very helpful and understanding, helping with choices off the menu. Keep up the great work, as under new ownership.

Been many times. New people but the same excellent hot food and service. Good atmosphere and very friendly.

Family lunch with the out-laws and my wife’s sister’s clan. Friendly and attentive staff. Plenty of food. It took some time to understand the complexities of the ordering as you have to order although it is a buffet. I was confused but that might just...

Under new ownership Nice place but sorry to say The food taste and quality has slipped since Mike and Linda retired

Came here for the first time with friends who said it came highly recommended and had enjoyed their previous visits. However our experience was very different. We orderly separately as couples both starters and mains. The starters came out in dribs and drabs, with our...

Managment has changed since my last visit. Food has not. Still one of the best Chinese restaurants I have ever been in and thats a few.

This restaurant has been recently taken over by new owners the previous ones having been there for over 20 years so we went hoping it was as good as it has been all these years - we were not disappointed! We were welcomed by nice...

Had a take away was absolutely awful. Satay chicken on skewers there was only 2 in the tray which was ridiculous!! Those 2 were burnt and inedible! Cold chips and really chewy chicken, not nice and will not visit again.

The food here is really delicious. Their lunch menu is varied and includes a platter of noodles in addition to the main course you order. This restaurant has been owned and run by the same charming family since the 1960's, and the service is as...

Easy to find restaurant, and our first visit. Decor inside looked rather dated. The seating in the cubicle we were sitting at was partially broken, springing having gone. We went for dinner, a set meal for two people at £33, as usually best value for...

Popped in here with the intention of getting a take away, but decided to say and eat in. The staff were kind and efficient. The food was speedy and delicious. and the bill was very reasonable. I would definitely go here again.

Mis hermanas y yo elegimos este restaurante ya que era uno de mis favoritos, y mams en pocos minutos pudimos ver por qué. Tenía un gran ambiente para una noche tranquila el martes. El personal es amable y atento, aunque no demasiado.El personal es conocedor de la comida y el vino del menú y dispuestos a ayudar. El vino que nos recomendaron no era el más caro, pero fue una excelente elección.La comida era deliciosa y las disparidades existentes entre los campos no fue demasiado largo. Ya que estábamos allí para una ocasión especial que tenía varios campos y fueron felices para tomar un descanso más largo entre campos.Muy recomendado este restaurante por puntos en comida, precios y amabilidad fuera personal. Definitivamente volveré de nuevo.

Ate here tonight - starters ok - rest of the meal better. Prefer other Local Chinese in town . Great for crispy duck!

Went ti hop sing on a Sunday evening with the family. Must say the food was some of the best Chinese food I've had, the staff were very good and I would definitely recommend it.

An excellent Chinese restaurant in town centre Very good service and excellent quality food Cantonese style

Primera visita a este restaurante para mi cumpleaños como queríamos ir a algún lugar diferente y leer los comentarios en tripadvisor, que parecía bastante bueno. Llegamos con lluvia torrencial, así que inicialmente eran bañadas y escudos no ofrecieron a nuestros abrigos hasta que había intentado pasar ellos sobre el extremo del stand, y luego la señora vino a nosotros y se los llevaron con ellos. Servicio parecía brusco y grosero por la pareja de personas mayores. Pato crujiente con ordenados, que llegó y no era crujiente, luego pedimos costillas picantes que estaban bien, pero después de que habíamos terminado me senté con mis manos muy desordenados durante al menos cinco minutos antes de que me dieron una toalla caliente para limpiar. Plato caliente llegó para el plato principal, y mencioné que una de las velas era muy baja y no estaba muy caliente, pero el hombre dijo que sería lo suficientemente caliente y por lo tanto nuestro principal campo fuimos frío muy rápidamente. La comida también era bastante caro para la calidad. Sin duda no será visitar este restaurante de nuevo

Always have a great time here ! Food is amazing The staff are so happy and give a great service , the owners are lovely too By far the best chicken noodles I've ever had !

The worst service we have ever had at Hopsing. 1hr 40 mins and not even finished serving our starters.

Still the best Chinese restaurant in grantham. Excellent Chinese cooking. The deep fry spare ribs a treat.

Visitamos el Cantar Hop ayer por la tarde, y realmente lo disfruté. Una buena bienvenida a la llegada y cabinas discreto para cenar. Amplia carta con buenas comidas preparadas a buen precio. El servicio era excelente y la comida estaba muy bien presentada.

Came with friends for a meal on our last night in Grantham was not disappointed. Found prices more expensive than home.

Fabulous restaurant with brilliant staff. Food is amazing and staff are always very friendly and helpful.

Fabulous food on a marvellous menu, staff are always very friendly and helpful, can easily accommodate large parties and couples bookings, superb.

Great food on take out. Choose from the normal eating menu but can get on take out. Great choice. Hot sour soup a must as with the deep fry ribs.

Un buen menú de almuerzo que incluye costillas como uno de los entrantes. Todas las comidas tienen una porción de fideos incluidas así como el arroz normal con los principales campos variados. El servicio siempre es muy bueno, y mi esposa y yo visitamos regularmente. Comer en este restaurante es como volver a los 70, ya que la decoración no parece haber cambiado desde entonces, sin embargo, la comida vale la pena una visita.

Went for my Uncles wake after his Funeral. A buffet style meal which had excellent dishes a plenty. Good quality and well balanced selection.

Purchased a set meal for 5. Arriving home, found a main dish had not been provided, also, the fried seaweed starter would not feed a child let alone 5 people.

I'm been going here for many years. Myself and my mum always have our birthday meals here. The staff are great, it has a nice atmosphere and the food is brilliant. The only negative is the table near the toilet, but sometimes that can't be helped.

Once again very good for family get together. Excellent food and styling.Prices good but not the cheapest but you pay for what you get.Everyone go !!!

Visited on a Sunday evening with my child, very quiet and a little like stepping back in time to Chinese restaurants of my own childhood. The staff were very friendly and helpful, the food was very good and well presented. A varied menu. Recommendations were made and questions asked regarding when we wanted each course served. Reasonably priced (not cheap) and they sent us home with what we did not manage to eat. No complaints at all.

We have been to Hopsings many times and have never a poor meal. The food is always fresh and hot. The staff are always welcoming.

It's unusual to find variety in a menu for one but this lunchtime 'special' fits the bill admirably. After the starters, you get a choice of meats and sauce, plus egg fried rice AND noodles, which I found excellent. Then a dessert and all for less than £8. Great stuff!

Old fashioned in style and very tired space....uncomfortable booths....seems pretty empty most of the time....the smell of the incense filled the air, mouth and nose thus overpowering all sense of taste by time food arrived.....yuk!.......menu was your normal dull dull English Chinese restaurant offerings with nothing at all to Sing about....will not be back.

Complete let down .... This used to be a Grantham tradition where locals go when they had something to celebrate. Since leaving the area, it has been a long time since I have been there. I booked a table for the family and upon arrival was offered a round table pushed up against the wall in the main runaway of the restaurant which was not great as kept having to lean forward for servers to get pass serving the other tables. The menu was limited and expensive for the amount we received. The service albeit friendly was very slow. This restaurant is certainly not the same restaurant we used to frequent years ago, completely lost its nostalgic appeal. For us, the tradition has been ruined and we will not be celebrating any further occasions there.

I came with a few friends recently and it was very nice! We got a set meal for four and a set meal for two as there were six of us - you can get a set meal for six but the two we ordered worked out a little cheaper. The service was quick and the food was delicious. Been here a couple if times now - would definitely come back!!

Nice resturant for a quiet meal, staff are very friendly, It has high backed booths that are nice and private or big tables for parties. Food was nice not overly priced and in the center of town.

Must be nearly thirty years since last here.food good but not as before..I think.Good value and portions big.Seating not comfortable and carpet could be the same as before...but I might be unfair with that!Saying that the service was very good and pro worth checking out.An outside menu would help.

Hop Sing provided a takeaway for 20 or so residents of Brick Kiln Place (an ExtraCare sheltered housing scheme in Grantham, run by Lace Housing) and a few of their guests recently, which was very much enjoyed by everybody. The food was great (fresh and hot - the king prawns in batter with sweet and sour sauce were a favourite!), and was prepared and ready within half an hour of our ordering it. We shall be coming back soon for more! As for me, I have been eating at Hop Sing on and off since it opened in the 1970s (or was it the early 80s already?), and my father (90 years of age and still struggling with the chopsticks...) and I never eat anywhere else when I visit him. Why take a risk at our age? The staff are great (friendly and attentive), and tolerant of our many foibles. Go there - but don't book the last table on an evening we are going, or else!

I lived in Grantham 30 years ago and having just returned, I thought I would try out one of the few haunts that still survive from my earlier time. Food was average and a little pricey. Again like many of the other posters, I felt as if I had stepped back in time. However, for me it wasn't an altogether negative experience.

Called in whilst in Grantham ,food was excellent . Service was fast and friendly. If in Grantham give it a try well worth it . And affordable

One of the firstt Chinese restaurants in Grantham and still one of the best, tasty well presented food, lovely helpful staff nothing is too much for them and good value for money .

Having lived in the town for a number of years and not having visited the Hop Sing at all, it was a total step back in time for the very first step in the door. I would liken the experience to stepping back at least twenty, if not thirty years, to velour booths and flocked wallpaper. The food was fair to middling, the service very slow and the drinks very overpriced. There was plenty of food for our party, but we had to wait such along time for each dish to arrive that the others were tepid by the time of eating.Overall, going by the amount of customers there were on a saturday evening, it is a popular eating establishment, but just needs some tlc and more staff.

My partner said it has not changed from when she visited many years ago. Ok the inside is dated and needs attention. If you are going for this you will be dissapointed, if your going for the food. The duck and the ribs we had lovely. 2 mains could not fault. we had enough to eat and yes its a little bit over priced. The staff are not the friendliest, they did bring the food out quickly and where polite . We didnt go to chat with the staff, just good food in a run down place. Worth a try, not the best but not the worst i have had. We did try the takeaway and found the food very good again.

I am originally a Grantham lad and remember when Peter started the Hop Sing restaurant over 50 years ago and has apparently been in it's present site for most of that time. Sadly, over time the decoration has not really been updated so the restaurant still has woodchip paper and a look trapped in the 70s - shame really.We went for a Sunday lunch as a change from a carvery before Christmas - there were five of us - and so we decided to start with the half a crispy duck and pancakes - it was just lovely!Then on to the main courses which arrived sizzlingly hot and tasted perfect.The service was excellent and we had a single round of drinks - so the bill of around £20 a head was pretty much what we expected.So if you want good chinese food at a reasonable (but not cheap) price with friendly service - then I can recommend this restaurant wholeheartedly.

Had a set meal for 5 at 25.00 per person. Portions were very small, only one bowl of rice between us all, one piece of meat each in the 4 dishes that they served, we waited for ages for the first course, the second course plates came out hot and by the time the food came out to go with them 20 minutes later they were cold..the amount of food they served us would have cost an absolute maximum 30.00.. our bill came to 150.00. We complained but they didn't seem interested, I would not recommend that Chinese restaurant to anyone... poor service, no atmosphere..we were put in a room upstairs which another group of people I noticed refused to sit in. Absolutely rubbish..

This is a long-established restaurant with a good reputation. I hadn't been there for a few years but was delighted to find standards were as good as I remembered them. However, it wouldn't be the cheapest Chinese meal I've had....
