John's Brother in East Cambridgeshire

Ordered a meal for two, duck stater, forgot to pack the pancakes, chicken and mushroom main, chicken over cooked, rice was good. Lots of choices in Ely, I will not use again

Used to love John's Chinese, the BEST and I always had a dish with prawns in, very savoury and garlic, loved it, and had it for the first time in years, on Saturday night, and it was terrible, not even the same, it was a soo sweet, and I hate sweet food, my husband had beef curry, which was awful!!! Sorry but very disappointing!!!

Ordered Chinese for Sunday evening pickup. My mum was staying with us and she has never really eaten Chinese before. She tried the beef chow mein, also some sweet and sour king prawn balls, egg fried rice, chips and prawn crackers. There were large portions and certainly enough left over for the next day. My vegetable chow mein had loads of fresh veg in there and both the chicken chow mein and beef chow mein had fresh meat and veg. We all really enjoyed our meals as the food was hot, tasty and fresh. Definitely recommended.

Ordered duck pancakes to arrive home shortly after to look to see there is no duck just pancakes, called to say and the lady on the phone is so rude and argumentative over the phone so took the food back to get refund because they then wouldn’t give us duck then threw my money on the counter and have gone to new dragon inn

The chips tasted like they'd been fried in same oil as meat. The pancake rolls were way too heavy on MGS.

Johns's became John's Brother and has now been refurbished and back just as "John's" again. As soon as we heard it had re-opened, we had to try a takeaway and have to say it was the best ever. Really tasty and hot and really large portions. There was a slight mixup with the timing of the order, as they told us 20 mins but when we returned, it still wasn't ready so we had to wait. The wait was worth it. Hope they can keep up the quality, well done.

Probably the blandest Chinese food I have ever had unfortunately. The beef chow mein had no flavour and deep fried shredded chilli beef was dry and excessively chewy.

Cant beat a chicken curry with egg fried rice and there lovely chips, service is always good and dont usually have to wait for too long.

Best Chinese takeaway in Ely by far. Tasty Tasty. Quite frankly I never go anywhere else when I want Chinese food. Good value for money as you get good portion sizes. Front of house could do with a bit of a tidy up but don't let that put you off. 5star hygiene rating.

The place was empty when I visited. The food was excellent and good value for money. I have tried every Chinese take out in Ely, ordering the same dishes in each for comparisons sake and I can Ho early say that this one was the best.

Absolutely love the chicken curry a side of chips is a must. Omelettes are also extremely good value.

I cannot even begin to describe the supposed beef in my meal. It was rubberised gristle and truly the worst food I have ever tried. My partner suggested we leave it outside for the birds to eat as he said they would eat anything. Hence to say in the morning he had to scrape it all off the lawn. They also forgot to include an item we paid for but that was probably a good thing in the lon run

Our family have been using Johns' for years, and cannot remember having a bad meal yet. It has become a favourite of my wife's and being very local to us it's convenient too. This review is for Saturday 2nd May, and we went for the A1 set meal with some chips and once again was very nice!

Been having take aways for ages from Jobns. Food is constantly good. Though my last two when I got home were incorrect. One time with missing (extra) pancakes for the crispy duck another I got the cheeper chow mein than the house special ordered. I will tell them when I next visit.

but I'm writing this as yesterday was spectacularly bad. Called in the order beforehand, and was told thirty minutes. Went in after thirty minutes to collect and waited another 30 minutes. Still not ready. There was a woman that apparently ordered before me who was still waiting. The girl on the counter was still telling people 30 to 40 minutes. I left without the goods, having paid already. I'll be taking my business elsewhere in the future.

didn't fancy cooking so had a nice take away, tasty, hot and just as I asked for. will be returning very soon.

I've been going to johns for years and it is always delicious. I've tried lots of other things on the menu too but you can't beat chips and curry sauce.

The food here is distinctly average. Nothing wrong with it but busy only seemingly because of an absence of competition. The service though is terrible. We waited an hour for our food despite the woman serving telling everyone that it would be half an hour although admitting that she had no idea of actually how long it would be when pressed! Ringing phones were totally ignored in favour of a chat with someone she clearly knew. Won't be back.
