Didn’t get what I ordered. Ordered chow mein, got vermicelli. Man at desk was rude. Virtually threw food at me. Always liked it here. Won’t return.

25 of us went for two birthdays in the family. We arrived at 6 and was out for 7pm. Our booking was for 7 pm. The time was changed by them, we all had to go an hour earlier. We hadn’t hardly finished our meals and singing happy birthday when the cakes came out they were cleaning our table off ushering us to leave.My food was a small portion of rogan josh, I had finished my meal then my chips came out, too late nothing to dip them in. We know why they ushered us out they had another large group waiting outside. Really bad, we shall never go again , it was rude, I will be telling everyone I know to avoid. Totally dissatisfied. The family came from all over the country, they were disgusted.

a last resort as there weren’t much open on bank holiday Monday. I ordered a selection of dishes but sadly none of them were up to scratch/ecxpectations. A certain one to avoid for me and the family. Lack of seasoning…..

Disgusting and over priced. Not to mention rude and extremely miserable experience. Used to visit here regularly. After my recent visit I soon realised why I stopped. I would rather get a supermarket ready meal or drive to Stourbridge to visit Ruby Cantonese which is way more professional and worth the drive and value for money and quality.

I'm not sure what has happened but Ki Ban has really gone downhill. It used to be the best takeaway for miles but not any more. I made a telephone order and the person taking my order was very snappy. I kept reading out my order from the downloaded menu and he kept interrupting me, 'I don't understand what you want, oh forget it!. He didn't recognise the meal I tried to order even though it was on their menu. I ordered the meat free minced pork and vegetables. When I got home there was no minced pork, they had thrown in three veggie sausages on top of carrots and mushrooms with a very watery gravy. Load of rubbish. Meat free minced pork is not veggie sausages and this is a very lazy and unappetising meat free meal!

Visited here the last couple of times and the food wasnt as good as it used to be. Came again tonight thinking that the previous visits were just bad days for those working in the kitchen and i can say that I wont be visiting again. The quality of food has really gone poor and food is bland considering the price. Will definitely be taking my custom elsewhere.

Ki Ban from start to finish is excellent. Front of house, Wan meets you with a warm welcome and a smile. You feel good as soon as you walk in with the great aromas and then you notice the chefs hard at work, using the freshest ingredients to cook your order from the kitchen. Chinese food is complicated and somewhat intimidating to me. Wan explains it with ease, knowledge and genuine passion. The food is amazing every single time. After using Ki Ban for a long time, I moved away from the area. On my return back to Birmingham I had to reintroduce myself to Ki Ban hoping the food was as good as I remembered, to my delight it was even better....

This placed used to be amazing. However the chap (would usually say gentleman however the new front of house is complete garbage) is extremely rude, obnoxious and unable to converse with costumers in a polite civilised manner. Food is hanging in there however the customer service is destroying the reputation the previous owners worked tirelessly to create.

Been using Ki Ban for over 10 yrs and always been good. Tonight I’ve had the worse chicken curry ever!!! The chicken had been cooked placed in the fridge or even freezer and heated up, so dry, after 2 spoon it went in the BIN, and the bill was nearly £30. Won’t be using them again, you can’t serve BAD food and keep your customers

We had a take away - mine was nice until I found a hair, and my wife’s was very spicy which is not very good as we specifically said no spices. The man behind the counter was helpful but perhaps a little condescending, certainly not as good as it used to be when the previous owners had it. We won’t be going back.

If i could have left the score of -0 , I would have done. Def seriously think twice before ordering from here. Sadly i looked at trip advisor reviews in the shop " after i had ordered" and would probably have walked away. The guy up front was rude answering phone calls in the middle of our conversation , then he tried to charge me £16.20 for meal i would normally pay £11.30 . one meal was 5.20 second meal 5.50 then i said no to the rice and did not want the prawn crackers but would have a small bag of chips , so the bill went from £10.70, to £16.00 . The guy was so arrogant i even showed him the latest trip advisor reviews which he ignored them . What a shame it changes hands new owners but very poor, will not be going back unless there are changes and better reports on trip advisor.

New management is ruining this previously great take always name. Rude front of house staff. Extended wait times. No apology for making several customers wait 40+mins for orders they were told would be 10/15 minutes. Chap behind the counter has no customer service qualities apart from negative ones.

We have been using this take out for 10 years & since the new owners have taken over we have been disappointed with the service. Not only have they tried to charge us too much twice, they have gotten our order wrong on many occasions & they customer service we have received for their mistake has been awful. Tonight we thought we’d use them as it’s late & so close to home & getting the little ones fed before bed, we thought we’d us them but yet again disappointed. I ordered a chow mien no veg & asked no bean sprouts, we got chicken fried rice. I rang them up to explain they had our order wrong to which he replied, “no I never & I repeated it back to you” I advised why would hAve I said no bean sprouts if I want rice as I know that doesn’t come with rice & that when I asked for no bean sprouts he repeats back no bean sprouts, to which he denies & gets very ratty with me on the phone. Even if I was wrong (which I’m 100%) not customer service & treating you customers right goes along way. We will not be using this place again awful customer service & food has gone down hill too. Bring back the old owners. Vile place.

I called for the first time to place an order. "CAN I MAKE AN ORDER FOR DELIVERY" YES YOUR NUMBER - gave my house number presuming they had a computer to identify the rest of my address. They took my order but an hour later when i called to see how long it would be before it was delivered i was shouted at, told why i had done this as the shop never delivers. Well this why i asked at the very beginning i said and you said yes and took my order YOUR A LIAR he screamed repeatedly over and over. Needless to say would not recommend this place to anyone.

Been an avid supporter of Ki Ban since I can remember. Always a pleasure to talk to the staff and rush to get home to unwrap what is without a doubt gorgeous food. However this evening my partner stood for close to an hour in the shop waiting for our order. Without apology or offer of some sort of compensation she waited, only for our order to come out incorrect. As did plenty of other people's. Such a shame for what is usually a great takeaway.

We have been eating from here for years and each time excellent. But today's takeaway was below standard. The chicken crispy balls were too chewy (not fresh), same with chips. The Chefs chow main special had little meat in it. Disappointing meal from ki ban this time. 3/5 at most.

We it seems like I cursed the take away with my last review. As I have said in my previous review other takeaways do not seem to be consistent with their food. Unfortunately this has struck ki ban. Shame as this was the best weekend treat we looked forward to. Last weekends takeaway from here was just ok. We have been trying it now every other month hoping it returns to the great standard it used to be. When you say no chilli's you would hope this is the case not more!!!. The lady on the desk has returned, she's lovely so I hope she brings the standard back up. Come on ki ban, please get back to number 1 in the area Like you were before.

I have been going to ki-ban for my take aways now for nearly 3 years and I can honestly say I haven't had a bad 1 yet. Many Chinese takeaways quality fluctuates but this one has stayed constant and hopefully long may it continue. The only fault I could pick is with the friendliness of the service but ha-ho....... ;) it seems the same in every Chinese takeaway. We'll worth a change from your usual takeaway to experience a bit of quality.

I have been to many Chinese take aways over the years and had given up on trying to find a good one where we live. Usually, the take aways by us give small portions for a rather steep price, What a shock then when we recieved far more food than we expected! What a bigger shock that it was relatively inexpensive. What a greater surprise we had when we found out the variety, the quality and the service were excellent. Seriously, you MUST visit this take away!

I ordered a takeaway from jade gardens Chinese takeaway from West Brom and it was the worst Chinese I have ever had from anywhere. I ordered a chicken Chow main with sauce which is what I always have and I got it delivered to my house, which was 10 mins late for starters. Which came to my door COLD! The chicken was rubbery and I felt it was under cooked however the texture of the chicken was cheap and rubbery which was also cold and all the veg was not cooked. The food didn’t look appetising to look at eighter, there was nothing nice about this meal nor the service I never complain about my food but this is disgraceful. I normally order from the great bridge jade gardens which is delicious and helpful and fast. However, I DO NOT recommend this takeaway place in West Brom unless you want cold, unsatisfied, under cooked and rubbery food!
