Dear Jak's, I am writing this review not only to congratulate but to appreciate non other than this fine quality Chinese cuisine. I was stunned by how fast you delivered said meal to my humble abode. A doubtful thought did cross my mind that the food may have been rushed and would lack quality. I was completely wrong. The food that graced my lips was nothing short of Michelin a 5-star quality.

Great place. Not local to the area but arrived really late to our hotel and wanted proper food not fast food. So chose Jaks to get a nice meal and was not disappointed. Absolutely delicious chicken fried rice, the portion was enough for 1 adult and 1 child. Really liked you could order a side of rice with a main too so we didn’t need to get 3 separate meals and could share between us.

Just moved to Howdon recently and doing the traditional "can't be bothered to find pans to cook with as still packed up", decided to have a shot of one of the local Chinese, I'm particularly fond of crispy shredded chicken which is an easy way to narrow my search field, located this one which is only 4 mins away, and jackpot, ticked all the boxes, really nice and just the way I like it, not often I get lucky on first search...defo going again!

I'm really sorry Jaks I always enjoy your food , decided to try crispy shredded beef in salt chilli pepper, I've never seen such unappetising food it looked grey, and is it supposed to break your tooth ? it was totally inedible and its all gone in the bin, what on earth is this dish supposed to be? I'm still chewing on the beef it was terrible, this has really put me off 😒 if I decide to order again I'll stick to our usual Singapore dishes, I've given 1* for the curry fried rice and chips 🙄

Jaks is usually excellent but my meal last night was definitely not to the usual standards. It took ages to be delivered and when it finally arrived it was cold, almost as if it had been made and left sitting before the driver delivered it. Also can’t collect from Jaks meaning the food is always £3 more expensive.

I asked for chow mein with no onions or mushrooms because I don't like those things, and I got practically dry noodles with chicken and nothing else. No onions and mushrooms means no onions and mushrooms, not no vegetables at all. Chow mein is meant to have things like peppers, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, baby sweetcorn, green beans etc. Not nothing.

Jaks is out go to Chinese takeaway and a household favourite but last night the food was really poor. We ordered crispy beef which was way overcooked to the point it was solid and couldn't be chewed at all and salt and chilli chips which were either from the day before or again overcooked as they were very bland and dry, some even too hard to be chewed. The chow mein was delicious as always as was the rice and spring rolls. Beef and chips were thrown away which was a waste of £15!
