Jak's Chinese in North Tyneside

First time used this takeaway won’t use again 30 minutes late from time set for arrival food was tasteless

Really good!Food was piping hot and all dishes were lovely. We had crispy Cantonese chicken, salt and chilli king prawns and vegetable chow mein. Chicken and prawn dishes were so good and the chow mein was really tasty with loads of good veg in. Even chips were nice. Can’t fault it, my son said it was the best takeaway we’ve had in ages.

food was lovely was hot when it arrived 😋

rang up to say I was missing fried rice and made to feel like I wasn't telling the truth. baring in mind I have used this place for about 10 year and never had a problem or ever rang up to say anything is missing I didn't expect the response I was getting over a box of rice.

been waiting almost three hours still waiting, called restaurant an hour ago driver on route

This a perfect example of why rarely by Chinese because even the basic is to complex! Ordered simple chips curry and rice! Rice was stodgy at best! Ordered and out within 5 minutes. Don’t expect anything amazing but surely some pride and care. This is definitely a do not use! Sorry. How any of Chinese takeaways in North East get trip advisor reviews or hygiene ratings above 2/3 beyond me! All processed food and overpriced. Real shame people accept poor standards including the customer. Remember 20 years ago when Chinese food was great and you had to wait for it to be prepared and cooked. Laughable today.

Beautiful food piping hot - we had hot spicey soup, chicken fried rice curry sauce and chips black bean house special - loads of food and thoroughly enjoyed it

First time ordering from here. Food was piping hot and delivered on time. Absolutely delicious and looking forward to ordering again

The food was chewy, bland and was definitely not cooked fresh. It was as though it had been left out and reheated. It was delivered half an hour early which would also suggest that was the case. Ive had nice meals from here before but this time poor

Lovely food every time, could not recommend more.

This Chinese takeaway has been a go-to for me for a long time. The food is consistently delicious, and they're always accommodating to my little changes and requests. It's a solid reliable option for a chinese.

Food is amazing from here is always early and always always piping hot

As always Great service great food delivery time magnificent ❣️

Unfortunately I did not enjoy my meal on this occasion and ended up in the bin . My son said his was fine .

That has to be the worsr chinese we hsve had. The fried rice was more like a rice pudding, awful and stodgey.

Duck dry and overcooked Chips dry and overcooked

Food was excellent fresh cooked and good portions, recommend this place 100%

Food didn’t come until an hour later and Luke warm when came practically cold can’t re heat chicken usually use jaks Chinese such a shame rang 3 times asking where order was said it was due to (euro football) not An excuse for customer service.

When I saw the flat chicken balls I was expecting the worst but honestly the food was realy nice curry had a nice spice chicken balls were tasty and soup was delicious :)

lovely food as usual! thank you :)

I've been using this place for years and I've never had a bad meal. Delivery guy was great and the curry sauce from this place is always delicious. Thank you :)

Great service, food was absolutely spot on.

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.

chips as dry as the sun , about a week old , beef totally inedible! salt and chilli chicken way too salty!! total rubbish ! in the bin... foaming

Great service and food is lovely

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!

keep coming back to Jak's. We've never been disappointed

ther was no prawns in house special and no curry sauce

Shocking service. I haven't even tried the food yet. The first time my order was cancled after delivery time had passed the second time I pre ordered and they are still estimating 50 mins after delivery time with no number to call.

Outstanding! Quality food, I very much enjoyed and will order again!

When phone to ask was told they had been and now answer but 4 people in house waiting for food definitely not been.

As always fantastic service and food and delivered early which is a bonus. Best Chinese around

Didnt receive what I ordered for my main unfortunately.

Asked for satay sauce which they don’t have on menu and they provided

Will order again. Great portions for meat

Lovely food/ shame about the chips very hard in middle 😩

the only Chinese we you's absolutely delicious first class 👌

Great tasting food, chefs kiss 😘

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 🙄

food when it came was cold. chow main was so dry we left it no prawn crackers delivered we paid nearly £36 for this most of it in the bin really very disappointed money waisted

Food not even hot had to ring shop ask were food was after hour . First time I've had bad service from here

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.

Was 60-75 minutes even ordering. At 100 minutes range restaurant and there days they were cooking it now. At 130 minutes it arrived and the food was cold

food was piping hot, the singapore style chicken chow mein was so tasty and nice and spicy the battered prawns very well cooked and tasty!

Best egg fried rice ive tasted in a long time.

Chicken curry chips and rice ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Ordered meal which came spot on time Obviously back of queue with other meals Cold and waste of money Please take pride in what you deliver Worst meal ever Won't use again Please don't ignore you are dealing with customers whypay good money in this case for rubbish

delivery is spot on and food is too

Crispy beef wasnt crispy was really chewy, went in the bin gutted as always been our go to place wont be ordering again

lovely food. always good to get it early. no issue

Either reheated or overcooked chicken in batter tonight was awful. We couldn’t eat. Waste of money. Not good.

Always go to Jaks when I fancy duck - theirs is the best. Asked for extra eggy egg fried rice and this things so full of egg. Thank you! <3

Best salt and chilli chicken I've had.

Food was really good, delivery was good.

Food as usual was amazing, never had a bad meal from here, piping hot well seasoned, very tasty will without a doubt order again

Excellent food would order again!

Great meal fast delivery. Will order again

hands down the best Chinese around

Great service & even better food

Sirloin steak was like eating leather absolutely awful

Lovely. Wouldn't order ribs again not worth the money.

As part of meal the chips were disgusting. Refried at least three times.

Got given the wrong order and the delivery women was smoking when delivering so the food stunk of smoke.

I ordered a chicken fried rice and a king prawn and chicken fried rice I received a king prawn fried rice with no chicken not happy at all

The only fault was the chips,they were as dry as Ghandis flip flops.Rest of the meal was beautiful fresh n hot

Steak was so tough could not eat it

lovely food as always. very friendly driver too. highly recommend

Food was cold when it arrived - not the usual standard

Food was OK but buttered chicken was very greasy food was late but I get that the weather was bad but when I received ny order there where items missing so had to wait again so didn't even eat the meal as went passed being hungry very disappointed

Any body wants extra the delivery driver will give you extra for a couple of quid haha proper bike proper skanky looking lass didint no there getting bag heads in to deliver my food

Ordered many times its our favourite Chinese takeaway, lovely food

Delicious, fresh and plentiful. New favourite thanks.

Hot, fresh and on time. Lovely. Thanks

First timer, probably my last as I'm not a regular. Chips were stale, rice was overcooked/mushy meanwhile the food came early and was hot. The Crispy chilly beef was nice. Thanks

First timer, probably my last as I'm not normally a regular and just fancied something different. Food was early and hot, Chips were little bit stale and the rice was overcooked. But apart from that the crispy beef was nice along with the curry sauce. Thanks!

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.

Excellent!, We count on Jaks to satisfy our picky bunch with no complaints and we’ve never been let down.

Fantastic service and the meal was lovely. Will definitely order again

Fantastic. Delivery was early. Which was no issue for me. Food was piping hot and delicious. Prawns were big and tasty. Plenty in the portion size. Highly recommended.

Lovely food, first time ordering from here and probably the best Chinese food we have had in the area. Fab portion sizes and really tasty, would return again. Thank you :)

Always lovely food . Only order from jaks.

Cold chewy and overcooked on everything one of the worse meals I’ve received

Fab was early but that wasn’t a issue and was hot which is another bonus and really tasty

Tasty lovely juicy pieces of chicken in very nice gravy.

Delivery was good and early, food was great , and great portions

The chips were stale and cold . The special fried rice was bland . Very disappointed as I always order from jaks

Arrived too early. First delivery was supposed to be 18.25. Ours arrived 17.35 Black Bean Cicken noodles was good but Satay Chicken noodles had hardly any "juice" on it. Disappointed overall.

Delivery was shockingly late. From ordering to delivery was close to 2 hours

Beautiful, freshly cooked. Delivered red hot and on time. Perfect.

Came half hour early how they made this in 10 minutes was tasteless! Normally ok but wasn’t this time and paid £38 no free prawn crackers nowt .not going back !

Items missing only came with chips and chicken and mushroom omelette .. 2 items missing house special chow Mein and curry sauce payed 24 pound for order never experienced this before with jaks Chinese order from here all the time disappointed to say the least

Fabulous food & delivery. Great company

Food was awful I want a refund.

Some much better then last time with the number of prawns in chow main after telling them and taste lush as always.

I don't think the spare ribs are as nice as they used to be... bit chewy... overall my fave Chinese though

Absolutely delicious food, delivered hot and on time. Would definitely recommend

Always nice food and good portions maybe a bit heavy on the sugar..overall good quality

Food was lovely and early always but the chow main I orders which wa chicken n prawn only had 4 prawns in it was isn’t great

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!
