King's Chinese Takeaway in Kettering

Had food 10days ago it was lovely so ordered again but unfortunately it was not edible cold watery and meat didn't taste cooked we had to throw it all away really put me off 🤢

Guy on the phone is an unhelpful pile of nonsense

Since new owners running this place service and food is much better

Food was delicious, will definitely order again

not sure why I have to pay for a delivery charge order £25 and live down the road. however food is good

The food was absolutely delicious! Definitely the best authentic Chinese dish. I will look forward to ordering from here as a regular from now 🙂

Took two hours to come and the chicken balls were pink in the middle

no free delivery??? that hungry accepted the delivery charge. Chinese literally up the top of the street

Amazing food, arrived piping hot. Very friendly delivery driver.

Love their food. Fresh and full of flavour. Ironically the name of our old favourite Chinese too!! Ordered many times and will continue to do so!

Chicken balls had pink meat in them had to throw them out

absolutely amazing food was lovely will definitely order again

Gave us black bean beef instead of the crispy beef I ordered. Waste of money, annoying

Boiled rice was very watery tasting. Chicken curry the chicken tasted like it was boiled first then curry sauce mixed in, 1st time ordered from here will be the last

The chicken was pink inside which put us off our whole meal and the chips were stone cold

I asked for a delivery for 8.15 and it arrived within 10 mins. The food was lovely but too much to finish! Excellent. The seaweed was particularly good. (from someone who doesn't usually like green stuff!)

The salt and pepper platter is not good value for money! But the food was good!

Surprised at the negative reviews on here. Food was delivered very quickly and quality was great. They really nailed the crispy chilli shredded beef. Decent value too

chips were really cold but everything else was spot on.

Great food,amazing delivery personnel and time. Thank you. Loved my food.

food, wasn't great value for money. we ordered Japanese noodle and a chow main which were basically the same. Lastly the crispy shredded beef was a bit bland

Shocking! Shocking shocking! I’m not one to leave bad reviews but I had to after the way the guy on the phone spoke to us. Nothing but attitude and POOR service. Swearing. Hanging the phone up. I don’t know why he was so angry but maybe he should stay at home and not come in to work. “King’s Chinese”. Rename it to Child Chinese. No experience/Childish behaviour.

We ordered late, so that might explain some of the issues; the starter selection is sparse for what it is. One satay stick, one rib. The prawn toast was chewy and greasy and just unpleasant. Spring rolls were pretty good, nice crunch. The food quality was generally poor. Dumplings had no dip of any kind. The 'peking' sauce was basically just pure bbq sauce. It was okay for being that, but poor for being peking. I rarely leave poor reviews, so for that, I'm sorry. But we won't be ordering again, unfortunately. It's a shame because we need more Chinese Takeaway in Kettering, but this isn't the one :(

Food was over cooked, chicken balls non existent, chips and prawn toast chewy and full of grease. Won’t be ordering again. £60 I should of set alight 😂

The food wasn't even warm, whole order needed to be heated back up, took 1hr 40min from ordering to delivery... Quality of food wasn't great either, duck wasnt crispy & already shredded, not alot of duck either, enough for 3 wraps!!!!!! I won't be ordering from them again, I've requested a refund

Great ordered for first time will order morw

the driver was really nice and polite ten out of ten for his service, also the food was good 👍

Food arrived fast although the quality wasn’t great. Beef in black bean sauce tasted of fish and was very oily? The food seemed off and had odd smells and flavours. Not what I’d usually receive

Brilliant food, pipping hot, this may be a preference thing but the hot and sour soup could have been spicier but it was amazing

Placed an order at 6:30… it is now 9:40 and order still not arrived. Called restaurant requesting an update, really rude saying they advise we come in to collect next time… avoid and will not order from them again

Really tasty food, delivered on time and piping hot. Highly recommend

I order here all the time never had a problem before tonight. Pretty much all the food I order was cold other the roast pork chow mien was cold and greasy, egg fried rice was stone cold, salt and pepper ribs was pretty much bone no meat and again cold. Even the sauce were barely warm. the chicken balls which were very greasy but at least they was hot! At least cans of cokes were warm though.

Lovely meals and so delicious thank you.

Ribs was about 3 ribs cut up into little pieces meat in the house special rice was not cooked properly and the spring rolls was full of grease that it all dropped out the end at least a tablespoon of grease in each complained and all they say is it’s just east problem

Not sure what meat is in the won tuns it tasted like sausage did not taste good the chips tasted like oven chips again not nice

You pay for delivery but they won’t come into the flat and are very rude

Maximum time on order 30-35 minutes, distance to vendor 11mins, order received 1hour 20mins later. Food was cold, unsavoury. Being an emergency health worker, I had to be late to work. The customer service was so poor, very abrupt and curt individual. They do not provide cutlery. Today’s service was a huge departure from the standards I had experienced with them before. I hope it is a one-off and they can take the feedback and get back on track.

excellent food quality and speed of service

Had to wait nearly four hours for my meal, absolutely dreadful

Food arrived 1.5 hr after ordering. Had to call to find out when it's going to arrive. Food was cold and the chicken was rubbery. Will not order again.

Ordered at 7 pm food was delivered at 9 pm after having to chase where the order was, food arrived cold. After lodging a complaint with just eat the restaurant responded with 'sorry the order was late we were busy' busy doesn't equate to a good enough reason as to why a £50 order arrived cold

Cold, late, underwhelming food. Will not use again

Very disappointed with the chips we couldn’t eat them as they were dry, and they looked like a day old and re heated the egg fried rice was dark and no egg visible.

Fresh vegetables tender meat maybe a little bland. could have been hotter.

Food was not prawn balls tasted recorded no prawn all hard batter . Curry was ridiculously hot struggled to eat any of it .

Bang on keep up the good work, second time and you delivered. 10/10 very pleased. Certainly quality exceeds quantity not the biggest of servings but the quality is great. Keep up the great service.

Make sure you check the vegetarian dishes before eating them! All three dishes contained chunks of chicken!

Very good quality and will order again. We expected a lengthy delivery time with it being Christmas Eve.

The app said the food was delivered but it was not, it came twenty minutes later, we called the restaurant and they said it was on the way but they were a bit rude. They also forgot the chicken fried rice. What we had was nice but only just warm. Not great and charged me nearly £8 for rice they didn’t deliver

order was wrong! ordered two rice they were both missing, received something we didn't order. Chips were appalling.

Late delivery, first delivery and last

1st order from kings and I have to say the best I have tasted so far in this area, just phoned them to say how good the food is. Hopefully the standard will remain 10/10 special curry was delicious and nicely spiced

Food was great, on time and hot. Unfortunately the delivery driver decided he would spit/flem on one of my plant pots by my front door before I answered (caught on camera) so collection only from this point on!

food was excellent and very tasty

We never really have any issues with the food, the only downfall with the food is that they have changed the chicken balls and they are smaller than McDonald’s nuggets and taste of nothing. The reason I’ve come to put a review on is because the man who always answers the phone is damn right rude and disrespectful always has been and always will be but we do enjoy the food here but eat time we call the more rude he gets. It’s extremely unprofessional and makes me want to take my custom some where else

Food was a few minutes late, it was marked as delivered 3 minutes before it was actually delivered causing me to ring restaurant who confirmed it is still on its way. No bag to keep the food hot so crispy duck was luke warm and and by the time we ate rice and S&S chicken it was cold. Very disappointed.

LOvely meals thannk you so much.

Delivery driver, made no effort of arrival. Food not at it's best standards, unusual as we always order from this restaurant

Really nice food will order again

Very tasty, large portions. Entire family really enjoyed it. Kind and polite delivery man. Can highly recommend definitely order something again soon.

30.00 worth of overcooked cold food Contacted regarding refund was told free spring rolls on next order what a insult had issue before with order but thought would give them another try...worse Chinese takeaway in Kettering avoid at all costs check other reviews

After 2 hours i called them, to be told order hadnt been printed. Offered a refund but would be tomorrow?? I asked them to send the food and it arrived 45 mins later. Didnt get any freebies/discount etc. It was ok, had better but ive also had worse. Fortune cookie packets were open, not sure why. The thai pork was pretty tasty and had a good kick.

Nice soup and Singapore noodles but the beef curry was awful just like water with no taste and rubbery

Not good at all, really disappointed. Salt and chilli chicken had a curry taste, the vegetable spring rolls were just wet beansprouts. The only okay part was the chow mein but it had parts that tasted burnt. Won't be ordering from them again.

Food was really good and I couldn’t have expected better

Since eating it iv non stopped throwing up and that's goes for the other 3 people in the house 73.60 wasted on throwing it up

This was the most expensive and bad quality takeaway we’ve ever had. It went in the bin. Waited just over two hours for it too.

every time i go, always prefect, if i want extra hot Singapore chow mein. they can do it. no problem..

Obsalutelly poor service! The food was less then usual and obsalutelly not tasty!! Before was good, maybe staff is changed.

Doesn’t even deserve 1 star. Waited 2hrs for my order. The most obnoxious, vile excuse of a human continually screamed down the phone at me that my order had been delivered. When finally accepting that I had no food, I had to scream at them to demand they process a refund. Apparently I had to do that. Or I had to wait until tomorrow. Or I had to get dressed and go to the shop for my money because they don’t do refunds back to cards!! Oh, or I could wait a further 2hrs for the order to be re-cooked. Vile, vile place. Used to be a decent place until 12 months ago when it was taken over… I’d rather die of starvation than have to deal with these people ever again! Thank you to the lovely lady who came to the right house and gave me a cash refund eventually

Umm, read the news - 1 star health review and they falsified documents!

Absolutely terrible. I ordered beef chow mien and it had sweet and sour sauce in it . The beef was like rubber . The man on the phone is arrogant and rude .

Food was as average as you get. Meat was fairly hard to come by in the dish. The meat that was there seemed to be the stringy offcuts. Chips were different varieties in the same bag. Some were undercooked. Crispy wings weren't crispy they were just hard.

My partner & I regularly use this chinese as the food is usually lovely and excellent value, it's also close to home. However in the last few months we have noticed that some of the dishes we order regularly have declined in quality, making them quite unpleasant to eat and the majority of the dish goes in the bin. We always order chips and they used to be beautifully cooked & full of flavour, but the last few times they have been over cooked and dry. The chap behind the counter that takes the orders is also quite unpleasant. He's snappy, rude & obnoxious every single time we either go in to order or call the order in over the phone. He either needs some further training in customer service or putting in the kitchen out of the way of the public. They have decided in the last few months to charge 10 pence for a carrier bag, so we started taking our own because balancing our dinner on our heads on the way home isn't a viable option and we're not happy about paying 10p for a silly little bag. The chap behind the counter doesn't like this and gets funny when we say no to the charge that he puts on the bill without asking first. Such a shame as this takeaway restaurant used to be amazing.

Gorgeous chow mein.... Spring rolls not so good but I'd definatley go again

Last few months the take away has been very poor i have rang up several times to complain.This Friday just gone food was awful meals missing and was all freezing cold and curries all tasted the same.Rang to complain which they said the would give me a refund but a week later still waiting!! Won't be using again feel like they have let me down as I was a very loyal customer to them.

Took over 2 hours for the food to come, not really good enough understand there busy but could of been dealt with better.

Stomach churning bad,next morning both myself and my fiancee felt sick... Absolutely awful!!!!!

My friend found a fly in her spare ribs. Absolutely disgusting.🤢

Generic “Chinese food for the English palate”. Not much to choose from if you want authentic Chinese food. Mostly deep fried and the usual sauces dripping in sugar, none of which I’ve experienced in China or Hong Kong. Soggy tofu and broccoli finished off another boring local overpriced Chinese disaster.

If you like fatty food and poor customer service then this is the place to go.

Really good. The food tastes great and the service was quick.

Japanese rice was really good but the shredded beef was a bit rubbery. Price is unfortunately on the expensive side, especially for a takeaway. It can fulfil purpose

Another excellent meal from Kings in Kettering and home delivery a bonus! Hot, tasty and excellent quality - best Chinese take away in town.

Food was not edible, egg fried rice was stodgy, Ribs were suppose to be in bbq sauce hardly any sauce and tasted disgusting, Chips dry, Nothing about the meal was nice all went in the bin total waste of money

Not the best chow mein, did have a strange taste to it. Gave me the wrong Beef dish and charged extra at the door compared to prices on the menu for what I ordered. Really quick delivery however, and the chips are amazing.

Ordered beef curry and chicken balls from here. Reasonable price, quick delivery and very polite driver. However the reason I rate this 2 stars as the food quality seems very poor. The beef looks nothing like beef should and has a texture akin to lumpy bubblegum and isn't pleasant by any stretch of the imagination. The curry sauce was very very bland and gelatinous. And the chicken balls were extremely greasy and not very good. Apologies to the staff for this review. It's not my intention to bad mouth you guys or what you do, and I mean no malice, but there is definitely an issue with your food quality which I feel needs urgently addressed. Won't be ordering again guys, all the best for the future :)

Having tried others, King's remains the best quality takeaway in the Kettering area. It did take just over an hour for the delivery to arrive though.

Excellent Chinese meal....consistently good food and excellent delivery service, cannot fault Kings.

Best place to go for a Chinese never had a issue always had a good meal, prices are not to bad so will always go there

Great food just need an online menu

I was advised by a family member that this Chinese was the best in Kettering and they was correct, I can’t actually say I’ve had a better Chinese anywhere better than this place. Every meal came perfectly cooked and tasted great.

Superb meals and and friendly service. Always recommend

Always delicious food, friendly service and really fast delivery times!

Living on Dryden Street, I've got two Chinese takeaways at the bottom of the street, just metres away and Kings at the other end, quite a bit further away. I always go to Kings. Don't get me wrong here, I know better places like Sun Wah and Wah Hong in Bicester (you can't beat them) but I've tried most of the places in town and Kings is the best Chinese takeaway I've found. Also, Flames is right nextdoor. The best Kebab in town. So if there's a few of you wanting different things, head for Rockingham Road. There's also two Pizza places and an Indian right next door to each other. We're spoilt for choice.

Excellent service polite all the way through. Food always delivered all the time. An always hot

If the rice is not hot enough please let us know because hot is different everyone，let me know I can make it hot hot ，and the curry sauce is small we use a 7oz cup how come only three table spoon ？If it’s happen let me know I will sent you a 12oz instead

i ordered singapore fried rice and curry sauce.. i asked for rice hotter than normal.. .. was charged 50p extra , so beware... curry sauce was so small.. maybe 3 table spoons.. disappointed. i have had better from them before. whats going on...?

Prices very good. Fast delivery food fair, large menue, always answer phone fast, good at taking card details

Seen reviews that say they are rude - been ordering from here for years. Blunt maybe, but not rude. Food is lush.
