I waited over 2 HOURS for the worst chinese I've ever experienced, couldn't even finish it. Over 2 hour wait is already a bad start, and then the food arrived COLD, soggy & sad. Beef in black bean sauce was poor, the sauce tasted more like generic curry sauce and the beef was overcooked, chewy and tiny. The chilli Squid was soggy, moist, cold and clearly frozen rubbish. Criminal offense to charge the prices you do for this trash. The chips were cold and pathetic, undercooked and sad. Overall, 1st time ordering and will be the last. Pathetic Chinese takeaway.

I called here as the Chinese I was going to was closed, and I'm so glad I did! This was one of the best Chinese meals I have had in the UK. The chicken was perfect and not half-cooked like some. The Singapore noodles were not greasy like some I have had. Very nice flavour with good-sized portions. The only downside was they did not take card payment which is disappointing, so I had to get cashback across the road at the Co-op with some beers that went well with the Chinese. I will certainly be going back

DONT ORDER UNLESS YOU WANT TO WAIT AN AGE FOR FOOD! Originally said 35-50 mins for delivery, then ordered and got 1-1.25 hours, then updated to 1.75-2 hours. Called shop, bad attitude from staff, they blamed the app for taking on too many orders. Food came after 2.25 hours after first ordering. Food quality poor, chips looked and tasted as if the my had been reheated multiple times, food went cold very quickly. Waste of money and a massive disappointment!!

I called up at 5:45pm the food came at 7pm even though they said it would be 30-40 minutes maximum. The food was cold, stale, sticky and tasted like it was cooked the night before. I called for a refund but the lady on the phone was very rude she went to her managers and laughed about what I said. She then came back to me and goes you can have a full refund. Then 15 minutes later calls me back to say I can’t have the refund and wouldn’t let me speak to a manager, multiple times she hung up on me and was speaking over me whilst also putting me on hold many times even though I was making a complaint. Disgusting and appalling behaviour not only from the girl on the phone but the managers that make the food. One last thing she wouldn’t give me her name and that fact that she was so rude I understand why now she wouldn’t give it.

What is the point is saying it will be about hour when I have to call after 1 hour 15 mins to see where my food is and then another 8mins after that I have a know a knock on the door!! I simply said that maybe you should tell the phone person to tell customers the true delivery time! He came up with some excuse and I said well give me back my money and have your food back! He didn’t want to do that! I said have your food back he throw my money back over the ground! Never usin g them again….I think the feel is mutual judging by the language.

Crispy chilli beef was trash it did not come in sweet and sour sauce like any other crispy chilli beef I’ve had before, the chicken satay skewers come in a sugary gelatinous goop (not peanut sauce). Chicken chow mein was dry and dead, not very appetising Chinese at all. Not to mention the food was 25 minutes late.

Been coming here years. Have to say English lady on the till is incredibly rude and has the ability to put you in a really bad mood. I queried the total price for my order as when I last had it, it was a lot cheaper. She flat out told me I was wrong and my prices were wrong. Upon checking menu she said I was quoting price for a small, and that I “didn’t specify a small on the phone” to which I said I didn’t specify a large either. Essentially told me I was wrong for not specifying, despite the prices being for a small on the menu. Out of principle and because I don’t need a large (I’ll waste the food) asked for it to be changed to small. She went into the back and I heard her slagging me off. I will continue going here but service is terrible. I don’t mind the misunderstanding on her part but to be rude about it, not seek to offer any problem solving, and just stare at me like I’m mental is shocking. Also the chips were very bad

The customer service at this establishment is so bad I will never order from here again. I placed an order at 17:15 on just eat for a delivery time of 19:30 which gave the restaurant over 2 hours to prepare and deliver my food. At 20:10 I phoned the restaurant to find out where my order was and was informed it would be another 45 minutes. Obviously i was not happy about the service and requested that they made it quicker as I had to be up very early for work and was informed that they would rather cancel my order and hung up. I then recieved a notification from just eat that he restaurant had cancelled my order. I must add that this is the 2nd time this has happened and gave them the benefit of doubt for the 1st time. Never again will I order from Kings garden again

Avoid this place unless you enjoy waiting nearly 3 hours from placing an order for food, now happened on several occasions but like to give places the benefit of the doubt, worst customer service as tried to call for over half an hour and the line was busy though I suspect it had actually been taken off the hook entirely! I understand it’s a weekend and takeaways get busy but poor service when you can’t take the time to call people you know are waiting for an order and know it’s going to be late, it’s not that hard to do and don’t see why they didn’t. Placed an order (on someone else’s behalf, I might add) around 5:20 pm in order to ideally beat the rush, it’s now 8:10 (we were told it would be here around 6:50 initially and I finally got told it would be here by 8:05 around 20 minutes ago) and it still is not here and can’t even cancel the order. Don’t order from here, I certainly won’t be again, order from anywhere else. The absolute worst.

Usually I order from Zweton but was starving. Ordered 3 dishes, shredded beef was so hard and dry you couldn’t bite into it (also, the sauce is actually missing?) Chow mein tasted of washing up water and the squid was cooked with paper as we found a bit of paper on a piece of squid. Went straight in the bin.

Food is amazing its just the delivery time which made the food cold. I use this Chinese place alot as i found it one of the best in Ipswich. This is the first time this has happened to me. I placed my order at 7:56pm they put a 20min delay on the order which took it to 9.05. And it didn’t turn up till 10.20pm. I tried to call the restaurant over 10 times and no answer. When they finally answered they told me the driver had left 2 minutes ago but still had to wait till 10:20pm. They also told me that they will take some money off the bill, and they will call the driver so the driver is aware. The driver turned up and didnt know anything about it..

The bill was £66 and no way was worth even £10 the chicken balls & prawn balls were uneatable, tasted off. And all the chow mains tasted off to. The only things that were eatable was a pancake roll & the chips. Will never ever order from here again. Had high hopes for this meal but sadly disappointed & out of pocket on food not eatable.
