Hoviwa in Enfield

I just had a food from this take away, Hoviwa and was surprised was very delicious and customer service was really friendly thanks to lin she answered the phone everything was amazing thanks guys 🙂

Always order from here, lovely people and beautiful food

Great good, clean and fresh ingredients. Really a gem in the area 👍

Food is always good but portion sizes are huge. A half sized-half priced option would be ideal. Nearly always ready within 15 minutes. Service can be hit or miss depending on their mood.

If you’re thinking about ordering from other place, don’t! This is the best Chinese restaurant in North London. The customer service is 10/10 - always a pleasure to order from here.

Purchased £25 worth of food yesterday which all went in the bin. This was our favourite Chinese takeaway when they were on just eat, but now they have really slipped with food standards. The rice was gone off, and the rest of food just tasted absolutely mouldy and overly microwaved. It's such a shame we won't be ordering from here anymore.

Very good food and the service was kind and quick:)

By far our favourite takeaway restaurant. The food is so tasty! The service is on point and the staff is always so helpful with our orders. Definitely recommend!

We ordered over £120 worth of food from here last night at peak time. Overall really impressed! It took only 45 minutes and the staff were really friendly and efficient. However the chicken balls with sweet and sour sauce were awful - the batter was so soggy and undercooked. There was also too little fillings in the special fried rice and the rice appeared just boiled rather than fried! All other dishes were excellent though and therefore we will order again!

This place is always busy and for good reason. Food is freshly cooked and massive portions Staff and chef are super nice-

I ordered from this place more than twice now and has always been great and was impressed. The delivery was always on time, and the portions were large, I was really satisfied. The dishes, from spring rolls to the chicken kung pao , were delicious and authentic. The staff were friendly. Overall, it's a five-star choice for anyone craving tasty Chinese food and reliable service.

Hoviwa is by far the best Chinese in Enfield, the food is always tasty and generous, the staff are super friendly and polite and they honestly do the best crispy prawns with salt and garlic chilly that I've ever tried anywhere!

Absolutely the best Chinese in town ! Tastes fresh and amazing every single time. They are the nicest people working in there also . Many thanks

Been there several times. Always amazing!!! Love the food, love the customer service

Amazing Service from the owner. Food is excellent as well. Quick service. Garlic Chili Pork Ribs is a Must. Prawn balls and vegetable pancakes are also highly recommended!

Ordered a fried rice it looks horrible and full with no taste and on top the fried duck chow Mein was burnt . On top I have to modify my fried rice and looks better .

Best Chinese Food in Enfield, absolutely delicious...Pankake rolls, got everything in them...filled with plenty, Prawn sesame toast, best I've tasted and Chicken with mixed vegetables Awesome....

Disgusting place! I waited 2.5 hours for food from this hell hole. I tried calling numerous times and it just rang, finally I was told 5 minutes. 30 mins later i called again and was now told the driver was lost. This was a lie. The driver turned up and said it was just busy!! The order had items missing and the food was disgusting...worst chinese food I've ever had!!! No joke! Disgusting. Made us all sick - large party/large order (£60) seriously disgusting!!!! We were all starving after a 2.5hr wait but couldn't eat it as it was so bad.

Ordered from just eat, food was amazing can’t complain. Good value for money compared to other takeaways around me. Friendly staff and the chief is very nice too.

This used to be my local food place I used to order 2x week for the past 3 years turns out till today they’ve left me down I’ve waited 1:45mins for them to call me saying their still 10 mins away and if I am not happy with this they will cancel the order I believe I spoken the the owners son which was very unprofessional whatsoever I would not recommend this place don’t bother you’ll wait forever for your food

Absolutely awful! Food used to be good a few years ago but not anymore. Now serving stale reheated food that is just vile. Spent over £16 and had to throw it all in the bin. They've lost a customer and I'm sure with this unacceptable level of service, they won't be around for very much longer.

Still loyal after many years. Best Asian cuisine run by the most kindest people that always make sure your orders arrive perfect.

it’s ok! not bad but wouldn’t have it again

Great food. Broad vegetarian options. Very nice staff. Very honest about wait times.

The staff are so friendly and they have your order ready within 10 minutes, this is the only place I will order Chinese from, their food never disappoints me

Been using these guys for years now, never fault. Food is always delicious and the smallest mistake (let's face it we're humans, it happens) they correct it quickly and make up for it. Partner got a dish and message on the house for his Birthday. 100% recommended

We tried to order online but the website kept messing up so we called to order. The woman that answered the phone was rude. We told her that we don’t have cash and asked if we could pay by card on the phone. She was rude so we hung up because we did not want to use their service anymore.

Best Chinese takeaway in Enfield do not listen to negative comments

One of the best Chinese takeaway we have had after a really long time, definitely will be eating from here again.

Terrible food , horrendoys. No flavour , all rice and noodles overcooked. Never order from this place.

lovely service, 10/10 food, recommend going again soon

Gets very busy but the food is 2nd to none

We have used Hoviwa several times and haven't been disappointed. The prices are very reasonable and menu is extensive. Staff polite and efficient.

Foods good. Could do with a bit more seasoning.

Amazing vegetarian options and portion sizes are very generous. Quick delivery and delicious food! I ordered and paid online on their website and received a text and email confirmation within a minute when they started preparing my food along with the expected time to collect.They called me when the food was ready to collect which was nice too! Lovely service and the food was amazing (get the veggie spring rolls, trust me!). I live closeby and saw the place had been renovated as it looked really clean when I went in.

We have used Hoviwa for many years and have always had good food,. However after Friday we will not eat here again. We waited for an hour and fifteen minutes and when it did arrive the food was awful. The Crispy duck had no crisp, no taste, was very fatty and barely filled door pancakes, the sweet and sour chicken balls had thick soggy batter and the sauce was runny, garlic pepper chicken was also soggy and tasted awful. I have emailed Hoviwa using their contact form and have not had a response. Overall very disappointed

Just the loveliest people! They were very busy, when they arrived they gave us extra food and were so apologetic, even though we completely understood it was a busy night! Just a delightful restaurant team, and the food was also delicious! 10/10, will definitely order again.

Great Chef, Great Food, Great Service

My favorite place in town the staff is really cool specially the cheff very funny and the food its the best good amount and fair prices i highly recommend this place....thanks for all the good treatment

Honestly wouldn’t fault this place!! The food is always amazing and extremely tasty and always piping hot. Delivery is quick and the customer service is 100/10, from the phone call to coming to the door, they are so lovely. Wouldn’t go to any other place! :) very happy customers

Fabulous service, amazing portion sizes, great food and great prices! `the people who run Hoviwa are really really lovely. Especially the chef, he is a sweetheart. The food is always ready really quickly and is perfect!

Service was good/delivery time. Chicken was pink and had a lingering weird taste.and noodles had no taste. Curry sauce was the best thing among my whole order.

Amazing service amazing food.. Liverpool has some great Chinese takeaways and this one reminds me of that standard. I would be lost without these in London have tried few and have been disappointed in enfeild but HOVIWA are amazing.

Thank goodness you're back! I've missed your lovely take aways, and your great smiley, helpful service (despite the fact you missed my chow mein off my order last night :) but the "welcome back" banana fritters were yum! And definitely made up for it.) Consistently good take away. (No experience of delivery, I always pick up.) Friendly, tasty. Good portions. Well packaged. Great service.

Very fresh and delicious. My meal arrived on time and was still hot. Portions are good. Staff are professional and courteous. Possibly the best Chinese takeaway restaurant in Enfield. Will definitely buy again!

Fantastic little gem this Chineese place. Always fresh quality food. Highly recommend this place and definitely you won’t be disappointed!!!

Since the opening after refurbishment last year, all the food feels fresh in this local Chinese take-away. Such a great place to have around, all staff are nice and professional. Good quality food, value for money and lovely customer service!

Am a regular customer, good regular order, very nice food and quick to deliver. Has much improved from before.

Amazing portions, tasty and reasonably priced.

Great Chinese food in this area, didn't changed over years, decent prices, highly recommend

Beautiful food and beautiful staff. Best Chinese in Enfield !! x

Absolutely love the food order almost on a weekly basis, 2 stars because for some reason their minimum order now on just eat is £25 and there are just two of us so we won't spend that much. It's unfortunate we cannot order from here anymore as we usually do due to this.

Excellent go to chinese takeaways, delicious and fast delivery food at decent prices.

Good service, good variety of food to suit all tastes

Excellent, service, such a lovely family well run business, the food is amazing cooked with passion, love and well seasoned each time. Good size portions and always look after me and my family. I do not order from any where else as the chef is an amazing cook, with a good heart. Highly recommended to all to use.

Great food. Friendly staff. I was very glad when it recently re-opened. Easily the best Chinese take away in Enfield.

New items on the menu seen an improvement 👍🏽

Quick delivery 👍🏽 Good discounts👍🏽 Underseasonsed, fairly bland, too much oil, and the prawn balls are overcooked...when we first started to order from here they were very good and we were repeat customers, but sadly not as good since the recent reopening and doubt we'll be ordering again 👎🏽

Delicious food!! Service with a bright smile and reasonable prices. Recommended.........

Food was terrible all tasted the same , maybe they've changed chef since reopening not the same anymore used to love this place .

By far the best Chinese takeaway restaurant in Enfield! I have been eating from here for many years. Hoviwa is a great little family run business, the staff are always friendly, food is always made on time for collection. The food is always cooked fresh, with good meat and vegetables (unlike some other Chinese restaurants I have tried in the area) Recently it was clear to see they had been through a lot when a car drove into the restaurant, probably putting a lot of financial pressure on the family as they were closed for a good few months, although they are back in business now and food and service is still good as ever!

Opening night disaster, called after one hour wait only to be told it would be-another 1 hour a told it’s our first night it’s

Food was ok but it’s burnt down about a month ago

Excellent quality Chinese food. A little pricier than others that are local but trust me the difference in price is definitely worth it once you taste the food. Seems healthier than other Chinese takeaways I frequent and a lot fresher than some others that are local.

Best Chinese around. I recommend the prawn balls

Please stop hurrasing me by texting I texted stop 5 times back dont even live in the area anymore I receive one more text I will call the police I dont even remember ordering from u guys so I don't know how u got my number but please leave me alone

Food ordered at 450pm, arrived at 625pm. All food delivered although correct was poorly salted (not enough), hot and sour soup contained no salt and was too hot. Spare ribs contained no seasoning, large spring roll inedible, lemon chicken poor. Saying that the premade fortune cookie was fine. Further I was subject to a convoluted story about why the food was late etc. Avoid, or use the ‘Just eat’ app to order from them which I have used in the past and I received a completely different experience. The food was good and the delivery time short. Ordering directly from them will be a first and last.

Great Chinese takeaway. Great food and service. Price is also very reasonable.

Nice takeaway. Nice food and service.

Not sure about past reviewers, I don't recognise the negative experiences some people have had. I think the business has gone through a lot of change (I believe it was closed for a spell), and based on las night's meal, all I can say is it surpasses any local Chinese takeaway near me. Meal starter consisted of a few vegetable spring rolls - they were huge, and very tasty - plus one quarter aromatic duck, and Crispy Squid with Salt & Garlic Chilli (squid was delicious). The duck was fine, the only gripe we had was the relatively small number of pancakes supplied - I think we counted 7 in total, which wasn't enough frankly, 10-12 would make more sense. Mains: I'l just write about mine, which was Shredded Crispy Chilli Beef (pictured). This dish is the one I tend to gauge a Chinese takeaway/restaurant by, my go-to, as it were. And I have to say, it definitely passed, it's just a very tasty dish with just the right flavours and crispiness. The Egg Fried Rice I ordered gets added to the container alongside the beef, which though unusual in my book, doesn't ultimately take away from the overall experience. The rest of the family had different dishes and everyone was unanimous in their view that this takeaway was a good pick, and would be used again. Cost-wise, it was quite reasonable, with only a modest delivery charge (which, considering we'd never realistically drive to it, was just fine by me), and I think between ordering online via Just Eats and arrival, took perhaps 40-45mins (on a Friday evening) - can't complain about that! So my advice is: give it a try, you might be surprised by how good this place is.

Use this place a lot spend a lot of money here well tonight i had£40 worth of food from here and this is the last time I use them chicken chow mein had no taste chicken curry was all watery pancake rolls are half the size I rang the place to complain the person on phone didn’t care I said I’ll put it on fb and social media and her reply ok also I gave the driver £2 tip and he said r u sure last of all theynow charge £1-50 delivery no take away charges delivery

Disgusting food very disappointed, ordered Thai red chicken curry and egg fried rice, the curry was watery with about 6 bayleafs in it and other crunchy manky stuff (no i5 wasn't water chestnuts) Egg fried rice was bland and tasted odd with no egg in it I wouldn't eat here

First time ordering tonight and was thoroughly impressed. Delivery was half an hour, notes left for driver were followed and honoured, food was piping hot and I have to say the food was absolutely delicious. Definitely recommend. Oh and I got 20% off my order online. Terrific

On the occasions i have gone against my better judgment and ordered always disappointed. They wrote down my credit card details on paper i only found out after having to call them waiting almost 2 hrs to be told that she wrote the numbers down wrong . The food came and it was all wrong.

I don’t think too much of the star a gave worst ever the place is dirty and greasy. Needs a good clean or closing down frozen fresh food . duck deep fried as I entered the shop very disappointed indeed will not buy again.

Food was very late. Tried phone number busy for ages then went to voicemail with a strange message. Tried to call for over 30 mins then food arrived. Unfortunately was not worth the wait at all. Aubergine dish tasteless prawn stir fry awful.

Literally couldn't even eat the food. It was so shocking! One of us had allergies so I wrote under comments not to add something into the food and they ignored it. Food took SO long! If you like edible food this definitely isn't the place for you.

Very quick survice and I love their crispy aromatic duck! Unfortunately most of their noodle dishes (at least the ones I've tried) taste the same to me, but they're still good.

Best Chinese takeaway in Enfield, my husband absolutely loves the food from here. It's reasonably priced and the home delivery is always prompt and food arrives piping hot

I am not impressed by the service. My food was due 35 mins ago ( I've been waiting an hour before this!) I have tried to call both numbers only to be met with a voice mail or an engaged number. Sort your business out. Ps I have finally got through and they wouldn't even offer me a discount or a complimentary dish/prawn crackers. I won't be ordering from you again!

Slow delivery from Hunngry House

I love this place. Nearly all my friends in enfield order from here and most are foodies so im surprised its been getting bad reviews. I am quite a fussy person and i can say that this place is very good.

Food was lovely really enjoyed it would recommend arrived on time hot just perfect great service

We used to eat quite a lot of Chinese food before we moved to Enfield but after some disappointing greasy and boring meals gave up and startered ordering from few good Indian restaurants. This restaurant has some bad reviews so we were nervous about trying it but were pleasantly surprised as all the dishes we tried were tasty and meet tender and plentifyl. Delivery time was about 30 min (we were told 45mins when ordering) so we do not have any complaints. Either we were lucky or they have improved. We will try them again and I will update if anything changes.

Very nice food and very good service. Ordered through hungry house and when arrived the container for soup was broken and soup leaked out. But they later called back and offered to redeliver the soup again for free, and on top of it they included extra dishes as well. Thanks a lot and food is delicious and definitely will order again.

The most awful Chinese take-away ever!!!! The food was tasteless and smelt awful, I was actually heaving when I opened the containers. Never ever again!!!

Made an order at 21:05 on Sunday night. Estimated delivery was 22:20 (too long any way but thought they were being conservative. Food hadn't arrived by 22:35 so called and was told it was on the way. called back 5 mins later and was told another ten mins. Long and short of it they knocked 15% off the bill, but who really wants to sit down to a Chinese at 23:00 on a Sunday? Not me. Food: Food was Above average. Double cooked pork and special rice, decent, nice flavour, plenty pork. Special noodles with gravy also decent. Battered prawns were OK, just OK. Not sure why they all put sliced and fried onions with the salt and chilli- maybe to fill it out. They just end up sweating and making everything a little watery when it should be dry and crispy. Speaking of dry and crispy- the 'Mongolian lamb' was pretty bad. Very dry, extremely greasy, deep fried beyond belief. No flavour.

Perfect again, as always. Had to phone the shop this time to ask them to add items to my order and they got everything correct. Perfect.

I've ordered a couple times and seriously takes forever for them to deliver. Food is lovely but they need a grip on with delivery, it's not once or twice. I've never got my order within 45 mins of ordering.

First time I've ordered from this place and I actually received a wrong order which did spoil the evening. Salt and pepper squid needed salt and guess what, pepper! Apart from that the food seemed very average, nothing exceptional.

Arrived on time. Pork was very delicious.

I've been ordering food from here since last year. This year I've had the same delivery driver for the most part. He arrived almost 30 minutes late and because something hadn't been crossed out with a pen on the receipt to show that I'd payed for it, had me standing at the door for 5 minutes whilst he tried to get in touch with the restaurant to confirm that I had indeed payed for it. The food was delicious as always.

Great food. Not always ready for collection on time, never more than 5 min extra wait.
