Kao Wah in Wealden

Awful food tasted terrible duck and pineapple was like stew with onions tin peas and carrots!! Char su pork so salty couldn't eat, special fried rice with prawns that were like rubber.

Service was great but the food is a joke. Chow mein hadn’t even seen a wok and had no soy sauce or taste at all. Everything was incredibly bland. Seriously the worst Chinese food I’ve ever had.

Ok.... I'm not going to be harsh here so I'll be as nice as possible because the service was amazing, very polite and the food was ready in 10 mins 🙂 but the food was truly bland absolutely zero flavour everything tasted the same, maybe a little seasoning would help.

Got a takeaway from here as our usual place had a long wait Food cold and awful, seemed like it was days old and just reheated Kung po chicken was like slime I’m just grateful we weren’t ill from eating here !!! AVOID

Used Kao Wah for months and it is the best Chinese in the local area.

Greasy and no flavour chicken was mostly black too

I said dont put loads of onions in the satay chicken and you did. Back to jade gardens If I'd have spent anymore I'd be coming back down to see you.

Friendly guy on reception. Very polite. However the food was awful. Possibly the worst Chinese food I have ever had. Bland, no flavour, chicken cold, veg not fresh . Sad because the guy on desk so nice

Popped in, first (and last) time ever ! Ordered a Singapore Vermachilli, cost just over £6 and it was just noodles, bearly and veg and even less meat ! Absolute joke. Don't waste your money in this place.

Found the food bland for my taste.

Need to have a menu online, food always hot and really tasty

Looks a little dated from outside , but food and service were great

Well run family takeaway always friendly

Had a few takeaways from here and never had cause to complain. Food is always full of flavour and reasonably priced. Just a shame their delivery area isn't slightly bigger, but you can't have everything.

Not to long to wait and food good

INCREDIBLE! don't bother listening to the low star reviews saying "i ate here 7 years ago..." not relevant mate! the service here is always incredible. nice staff, great food and we always get fortune cookies thrown in for free. such a great little place, i will come here for many years to come

Wouldn't really rate the meal, chicken was soggy and bland and the black bean sauce to dry

Absolutely disgusting could of done a better job nyself. Very disappointed. Won't be going back there at all. Avoid if you can

Very poor, I did not like it at all unfortunatly. I ate from here around 7 years ago and was not impressed, but lot of people speak highly of their food so I gave it another try, not to my taste at all.

Lovely food... Really enjoyed it.

Ordered in house but still they managed to get it wrong even after repeating to me what I ordered. Chicken tasted old and unusual colour, even the prawn crackers were over cooked, almost brown. Also both dishes were very bland and colourless other than the prawn crackers of course. The lot went in the bin. Very very disappointed.

Staff are excellent, food is excellent

Excellent food, good size portions, really good value for money and friendly

Lovely food great portion size. Could do with more liquid in the soup but was very nice.

Great People, Great Value, Great Food!!! Loving this old school find!! 5 star for me!

I love the food here, but the people really make this place. Everyone who works here is so warm and welcoming, friendly, helpful and efficient. They do everything they can to make sure their customers are happy.

Very tasty meals and reasonable priced

Good down to earth inexpensive Chinese takeaway

What an absolute gem this is. Tasty… authentic flavours…. not swimming in oil (as so many takeaways are). Fairly priced. Served hot. What more could anyone ask. Highly recommend. It’s such a shame that this lovely lady doesn’t have her own ‘sit-down’ restaurant because her cooking shines compared with what is on offer elsewhere.

Never ever had a bad meal from here and been a customer for years. Quality food at very good price. Staff lovely.

Not impressed at all, rice and chow mein ok, just. Char sui tasted burnt, chicken and cashews in yellow bean and kung po looked like cat food that had been frozen then microwaved and pancake rolls contained mushy beanshoots that appeared to have been battered and then burnt. Seriously don't trust the reviews that say it's good, I've never thrown away so much from a takeaway.

Updated review.... Really gone down hill. The food is nowhere near as good as it used to be. Ended up throwing ours away. Needles to say I won't be ordering from them again. Real shame

Soo disappointed, last time I ordered a chow Mein.... . There were more bean sprouts then noodles., completely dry.... Gave them a second chance tonight.... The satay sauce. is inedible... The noodles which we waited 30 mins for were so dry.... another order I can't eat...... A very unhappy customer.

Great food, excellent service, would highly recommend

We always use the Kao Wah for our Chinese. Great piping hot food along with an extensive menu and good service.

I have been using Kao Wah for about 25 years anf always rated this takeaway but the meal I had tonight was dreadful. The sauces were tasteless and watery, the chicken was overcooked and the chips were very greasy. What a disappointment as well as being a waste of money

Just finished meal.......... perfect

Excellent food everytime. Clean waiting area, only place to guarantee a great meal everytime.

good tasting food , quick service and very polite .

Been using this restaurant for years new owner has added to the menue very good food and service

Great reasonably priced good & freindly staff

Amazing food. Not greasy like others

I will never use this takeaway again, food bland and tasted wish washy, spring roll tasted of putrid vegetables, rotten pork in sweet and sour balls, dogs wouldn't even touch it!! I'll be returning tonight for a refund, and telling everyone I know to avoid 🤬

Great food friendly service, very busy

All of us were fighting over the toilet all night as we ALL HAD BLODDY AWFUL FOOD POISONING!!!!!! This food was tasteless, obviously reheated as it was really chewy, not worth being up all night -.-

Unfortunately the food had no flavour. I had the sweet and sour chicken and it had seemed to tasted as if it was soaked in water before hand. Chicken was chewy which was an indication of reheating and as I had the special fried rice, I had bitten down on chunks of gristle, multiple time. An unfortunately unpleasant meal. Ps. I have been given food poisoning by this establishment. Been up half the night stomach cramps, vomiting etc, I believe this is due to the prawns in the special fried rice, as a friend of mine had the same, and suffered from similar issues.

Not special fast service but that’s all the food was mediocre at best sorry guys but you have plenty of room for improvement

Decent local Chinese takeaway. Reasonable prices and good service

We very rarely eat Chinese takeaway as we have often been disappointed. There are few frills at this takeaway, but the front is clean. The staff are polite. A couple of touches, chopsticks and fortune cookies delighted my daughter. As for the food we loved it's not greasy, a great selection of veg and every dish had its own flavour - just wish we lived closer.

Kung po chilli chicken was bland no chilli even though I asked for extra hot the chow mien was greasy wasn't impressed compared to lucky star in hailsham

My benchmark is how good is a restaurants chow mein and this restaurants was good, very good with lashings of meat and scrumptious prawns it was a total treat and for £5.50 a comlete bargain. I see they do kung po chilli prawns and crispy beef too great for a takeaway ! .....i would reccomend this place

Good food, good price and always quick.

The food was very good. And for the amount I had it was not too expensive. If only they would deliver, would be 5 stars

Excellent service Excellent food Very polite staff Brilliant!!

Food arrives quick and is the best in Eastbourne by far. Never had a bad meal!

Great food always hot and very tasty service outstanding don't have to wait very long clean and overall a very good experience

Best Chinese food around highly recommended
