DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE. Me and my partner got a takeaway here. It was bland and cold, and we barely ate anything. Plus, I think it has given my food poisoning as within an hour of eating I have began to feel ill. Hoping to get a refund from Just Eat. Please save yourselves money time and health. The only positive was the most lovely delivery driver.

Treated myself to a meal on Friday night as it's been over a Year since I last had a Chinese takeaway, the take was Quite in the way of walkin customers just a few popped in after me but they seemed to be busy on just eat , on looking through the menu all the prices were fairly priced considering the constant price rises from suppliers, the man who served me seemed friendly though little lacking on customer interaction the order took around the right amount of time to be cooked and bagged , the establishment was clean as far as the dated decor would allow but the place could do with a refurbishment as you could see the long term term staining and fading of walls and tiles in the kitchen I could see and may be a good steam clean through out the food and meal itself was very tasty and wasn't swimming with oil like some other takeaways , needless to say I will be returning for more takeaway

One of the worst take away I have ever had, chicken in the curry is square, obviously frozen, and as for the chilli chicken, it's just covered in chilli powder literally, and it's not cheap either, a portion of mushrooms £5

Used Jumbos a couple of times recently. Great food plenty of it no complaints really, not tried everything yet but I feel like I should! The place itself does look a bit shabby which is a shame. As a side note, I hope the scores on the doors rating will be fixed on next inspection ( 1 star last month is not ideal! ) fortunately it wasn’t hygiene that was the problem.

My fave Chinese in Birmingham with the nicest salt and pepper chips around! Their spring rolls are lovely and crispy with a great crunch. Owned by a lovely family who work hard

I ordered just after 5pm when they opened so had high hopes of hot fresh food. Bitterly disappointed. Yak!!!! The sauces were cold and the food was barley warm and had zero flavour. No flavour!!!!! ALL the food I ordered tasted like it had been in the freezer for years and heated up as the order comes in. I just want this food out my body. I don’t even want to drive past this place as the memory of what I ate might come back. Horrible. Horrible food. Ugh To end on a positive, (because I’m nice) the portions were a decent size, (not that it mattered, no one like the food).

Sorry Jumbo you just cant deliver literally, don't subscribe to Just eat and the likes if you are flippantly turning down orders through whatever ever plight you may face, you are either a delivery service or not,..its not the first time this has happened. Iam going elsewhere now, unreliable service..don't give the generical response "we were busy" ive already searched companies house in relation to footfall on the day i ordered..No excuse.

My first time here last night. Had chicken chow mein.. Delicious but requested it without oyster sauce how I like it, chips.. Perfect.. Prawn crackers.. Delish and bbq sauce which I'm on the fence about.. It was very dark and overpowering compared to others I've tried!! Good portion sizes, great prices and able to order online.. Definitely will be trying out more soon!!

Beautifully cooked, hot and on the doorstep within half an hour along with a friendly service, both on the telephone and the delivery driver.

Ordered via just eat, order confirmed at 22:11 and delivery time given for 23:00, then time changed without warning to 23:30 on a monday evening (?!!?) ( was a coincidence i clicked to checked the delivery time otherwise would never have known delay) finally was delivered at 23:58. Delivery guys gave us someone's else order to start with, then the right order, then demanded money, when we said he was very late and asked why he said he was just the driver and demanded money again that he was supposed to finish at 23:00 and was working well after he was supposed to ( im sorry for him but thats a problem with the restaurant). Restaurant just happened to have closed when we called at ab 23:40, and im pretty sure the website said "food on its way" at about 23:15 and it does not take 45 min to go to a place thats 2 or 3 miles away. So all in all terrible delivery service! Then all the crispy chicken was soggy, warm ( not hot not cold) but clearly had been staying there for too long! Sweet and sour chicken looked liked jelly, spring roll was bad, the sauce with the other chicken dish not sure what it's supposed to be but its wrong/bad. To sum up, a long wait, unpleasant encounter with delivery person, dissapointing meal, regretting accepting the delivery.

Ordered at 22:11, arrived midnight - well over an hour late. Tried to call at 23:40 but they'd closed. Complained to driver, no apology, "I'm just the driver". No you represent them as a worker. Food was cold and stodgy as it had been sat in the back of the car for an hour. Even if it had arrived on time it was poor quality and the spring roll, a wet mess by now, so salty to make it inedible.

Got the impression it was missed as no labels on cartons when delivered.

Vegetarian Yuk Sung is totally delicious with a balanced satisfying flavour & texture further enhanced when wrapped in a lettuce leaf. Excellent! The King Prawn balls have a good taste with moist tender delicate texture ... one thought ... the batter can be soggy so could it be made more crispy because that would improve it dramatically before coating with the sweet & sour sauce? Singapore Vegetable rice stick noodles are fragrant with a light spicy heat with crunchy mixed veggies. If possible a little more sauce at the bottom of the container would be a welcome addition. Overall flavoursome quality cooking - will be back soon for another order. Thank You!

For well over 20 years we have eaten from Szechuan House regularly and considered it the best Chinese take-away in the area by far. We never had a bad dish and the food and service was always wonderful. Sadly, however, it seems to be under new management since we last ordered from there a few months ago. There was no warning or announcement, as far as we were aware, so the first indication of the change was when we phoned to order. Our number has always been recognised by the extremely friendly and efficient Chinese staff, who never had to be told our address. Last week we were answered by a really rude lady with a broad Brummy accent who seemed to struggle with the menu and not even know what was on it. When the food arrived, it was the worst Chinese meal we have ever had. The ribs, normally thick, juicy and in a tasty barbecue sauce, were very dry and fatty, like old meat in a thick, jelly-like substance, like treacle that had no flavour at all but was extremely salty. The spring rolls, normally in a light, crispy pastry stuffed with a fresh, moist & very tasty beansprout mixture, had a thick, stodgy, soggy pastry with tasteless, not at all fresh beansprouts. The prawn toast was just as bad: a layer of very dry, chewy, badly minced prawns with bits of shell in it just sitting rather than spread into the top of very dry toast. Again, it was tasteless but very salty. The pork dumplings were soggy pasty filled with a tasteless, gelatinous mixture, nothing like any pork filling we've ever had before. The Seaweed was overcooked and the fish flavour so overpowering that I gagged. The main courses were also truly awful. Rice noodles with pork (my favourite usually) were dry (the bits of pork that are usually juicy and fresh, were like scrap leftovers that had been sitting around for a couple of days. The Char Siu was not Char Siu at all. Char Siu is actually marinated then roast pork served sliced with a distinctive red colour around the edges and nothing else. What we got was boiled pork in a bland but salty glutinous sauce with vegetables. The beef dish was no better, with dry beef in a very thick very salty sauce that just tasted of soy sauce. The rice was probably the best dish but even that was overcooked but dry and crispy around the edges. I like my food salty and always add extra, to the dismay of my family, but even for me this meal was far too salty, I suppose to mask the lack of taste. To top it all there were no fortune cookies. Suffice to say that, after nearly 25 years, we are having to find a new Chinese takeaway as there is not a chance on earth that we will ever eat from Sezchuan House again, particularly given the 'dodgy' stomachs we all suffered through all night. The food reminded me of the kind of bland tasteless 'Chinese' food, full of monosodium glutomate, that was served in the 1970s when foreign food takeaways were unusual and most Brits thought vol-au-vents were sophisticated. If we could give Szechuan House zero stars, we would. Such a shame.
