King's Treasure Restaurant in East Lindsey

Fabulous food at the newly reopened restaurant. Great service and friendly atmosphere all at a very reasonable price. Will definitely be going back.

Forget the old outdated reviews - this place has changed! Excellent food. Have been getting takeaways regularly during 2024 and now they’ve opened their restaurant for eating in. Try spare ribs and Singapore noodles!

It’s been great to return to the Kings Treasure after so many years … and to see Elizabeth again, who has returned from her globetrotting and is now running the restaurant, following her parents’ retirement. The decor is tidy and smart, and the food, as ever, is excellent. We’ve been twice in the past few weeks. If you haven’t eaten here for a while, give it a try. We need a good local Chinese restaurant. As a bonus, if you’re lucky, Elizabeth’s husband Iain may arrive with two-month-old Haimish for you to say hello to!

We ordered a takeout went in the bin was pure grease phoned up and the guy said sorry the food wasn’t up to standard that was it will not order from there again

The old Kings Treasure restaurant (eat in), before Covid, was good food, questionable hygiene and dodgy service. Then it became takeaway only. The new owners have reopened the restaurant and we went at the end of September for one of the best Chinese meals, food and service and price, we've ever enjoyed. I've been to China and Hong Kong on business so many times and I love authentic food and Anglicised food and this was a joy. Please don't go there because we're local and we don't want to have to book.

Our go to takeaway. Always great quality and tasty food. Just wish they still had a restaurant. Service good and they do delivery in the local area.

Been a few times for a takeaway . Price is the same as anywhere so i dont get why people say its expensive . Food has always been hot and tasty . I cant fault the place

We live locally but used to go to a takeaway in Woodhall Spa. However, that was closed for quite a long time, and we decided to try King's Treasure. We haven't been back to Woodhall since! The chow mein is lovely, so is the sweet and sour king prawn balls dish, and beef curry (although quite a thick sauce, very tasty). Quantities are good, and prices are reasonable. We have tried others in Horncastle, and can honestly say that for us, this is the best.

Always great service and great food, all homemade dishes unlike the other franchised Chinese in town, we have the same meals every time and it never fails to disappoint

I’ve lived here for 12 years and been going to this Chinese. In all these years I have NEVER had a bad meal. The food is excellent. Had family round tonight and ordered to collect it. Ready in 15-20 minutes. We had curry, aromatic lamb, Cantonese style chicken, salt and pepper chicken, chips snd rice and it was all fantastic. You can ask for no veg, or not as spicy.. They never let you down. The food is wonderful. Highly recommended.

The food is so very good from here, reliably so!! Used to be hit and miss but has been consistently good for some time. 10 out of 10 excellent!

Very very small portions. Food was pretty average but nice anyway. Spare ribs not nice at all, taste like they have been left there for several days and re-fried. Staff were nice

I’ve been eating here for the past 14 years! The food is always hot and fresh. In all this time I have never had a bad one. The salt and pepper chicken is to die for as is the Aromatic Lamb. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. My personal favourite is Chicken Curry and Chicken Chow Mein. I usually have takeaway and if I ring and place an order, I can usually pick it up within 10-40 minutes. It’s well worth waiting for.

I fancied Chinese food so we drove the 11 miles to the Kings Treasure for our favourite meals, Grilled Prawn Cantonese style for me and Prawn Chop Suey for my husband, it was delicious as usual. Prawns were big and juicy cooked just right, the sauce was just the right consistency and tangy, rice was perfectly cooked and hot. The Chop Suey was perfectly cooked with tasty sauce and rice followed by Banana Split. I finished off with ice Cream Fritter which I always think is fun, frozen ice cream inside with hot crispy batter on the outside. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals which were served very quickly, never had a bad meal here in all the years we have been going.

First time I've ever been to the King's treasure Chinese and it'll definitely be the last! Very very small portions. Chow mein tasted burnt! Salt and pepper chicken tasted nothing like it! This chips.. Not sure what's going on with the chips but the man behind the counter worned me that the chips come out dark brown, the truth is he's frying raw potato quickly and it's burning on the outside and is barely cooked on the inside! The crispy won tons we're just deep fried filo pastry, ZERO FILLING!! WE SPENT £30 ON THIS CHINESE AND IT WAS BARE ENOUGH FOR 2 PEOPLE! IF YOU WANT A GOOD CHINESE IN HORNCASTLE, VISIT THE PEKING CHEF BY FAR THE BEST CHINESE. DO. NOT ORDER YOU'LL DEFINITELY BE DISAPPOINTED!

Can’t believe there still cremating there chips, and the pancake roll I had nearly strangled me. Wish I had taken a photo of how burnt the chips were. Please please stop burning your chips.

So after coming for a meal from over 20 mins away wanting a decent chinese I was hopeful, we ordered waited and upon getting our food in the car thought it didn’t smell great. But we bit the bullet and took it home. Well I wish I’d chucked it out the window on the way home because I have never seen or tasted something so foul. Everything had a burnt charcoal taste, you couldn’t actually bite through the chicken ball it was that burnt so if you like your teeth or have dentures avoid these. It was so foul I’ve actually put it straight in the bin without dishing it up and gone back to another chinese one that I know to be decent. If the food wasn’t offputting the place it’s self was more than off putting with golf balls on the floor looked like I’d gone to a bloody chinese driving range. I wouldn’t feed it to my dog. Let alone my family.

Had a takeaway. It was cooked beautifully and tailored to my needs. It tasted great and wasnt greasy that I've had before from other takeaways and value for money.

Outstanding food, not cheap but great value. The set menus are even better value. The man who served us (the only person we ever saw, and he may be the owner) was so surly and rude that, strangely, it added to the meal and we had a fit of the giggles. Basil Fawlty clearly taught him all he knows but DON'T let that stop you going.

We normally get our Chinese takeaway from Golden Boy but as they are shut for three weeks we thought we would try here. I wish we hadn't. They are significantly more expensive but the portions and the quality of the food are much worse. The 'chicken' balls had chicken that wasn't proper chicken, it was spongy and had visible segments in it and they were also overcooked. We got a 1/4 duck which came on the bone, not shredded and was too crispy. The cucumber that came with it was in huge slices rather than the fine slithers normally expected. The chips weren't chips but massive hunks of potato that were a mix of under and over cooked. We got a special chow mein also, and while the noodles themselves were nice, there were only three prawns in the whole container. It has put me off ever ordering from here again.

I have had sit down meals and take aways from this establishment. Most have been poor (at best) with a few exceptions when the owner is doing the cooking

Wouldn’t recommend eating here ever. Value for money is ridiculous. If I could have rated 0 I would have. Don’t forget to your ration book when you pick your food up...

We get a takeaway from here regularly, it is the best Chinese Takeaway in Horncastle, although the inside of the restaurant looks like it could do with a tidy up and clean. Despite the surroundings, the food is always cooked well and is reasonably priced, so don't be put off!

The food is quite good, fairly standard chinese fare. All the usual dishes to be expected, prepared to a good standard. However, there is no ambience/atmosphere because the restaurant is deathly quiet with only the two of us eating there on both occasions I've visited.

The restaurant was just about deserted at 8pm on a Saturday night. There seemed to more takeaway activity. The waiting staff were pretty young but they were friendly and accommodating on arrival. We wanted to sit in the window table, which wasn't a problem, however the paper table cloth was soiled from a previous meal and though the lovely young lady apologised there was no move to replace it with a clean one.

We go here quite regularly. The food is always good. I particularly like the Cantonese food and generally order Grilled King Prawn Cantonese style with Fried Rice and it is brilliant. Cooked to perfection, decent sized portion with just the right amount of spice,not too much or too little. I do vary my choice sometimes and I have never been disappointed. Though they do a great takeaway trade I think the sit down meals taste better somehow. The Staff are always pleasant and the service is really quick. I do think the restaurant could do with an update to the decor, hence the 4 star rating.

This is the only Chinese restaurant in the town and like others throughout Lincolnshire offers a takeaway service. With the restaurant being empty on a Saturday night thought I would eat in and a bonus that it had only just opened.

Meal options are good and so is the quality. Plenty of people getting takeaways but no diners in the restaurant that was a bit of a worry, no need it's ok miles and better than Peking Chef

Just has family round and got a take away, food is very tasty the bst t Chinese in town....many thanks,

Let me start by saying I've awarded 2 stars, one for the food and one for the young man serving. So why only two stars? Well the "star" of the show is the owner, who never stopped shouting and telling the staff off for the hour we eat. This guy is hilarious but not for the best reasons. He looks like he just came off a building site. My wife asked if he could put on some background music, NO! was the reply and he just walked off. We drove home and couldn't stop laughing recalling the time we dined at The King's Treasure. You have to go once in your life but not for the food but to see the crazy floor show. We should of realised something was wrong as when we entered he said the place didn't really cater for people dining, only take-aways and by god, he was right.

This is the best Chinese takeaway in Horncastle by far. special mention the chips are delicious. Speedy service and polite staff.

Had tried all other Chinese takeaways in Horncastle since moving here, but none to my taste. This place looks run down, food hygiene score of 3 (Satisfactory), but my, oh my, were we surprised when we started eating this takeaway - it was absolutely delicious!!

don't expect posh surroundings here cos you wont get those, you will get great tasty Chinese food, Bruces chips are the real McCoy, proper fat Chinese chips that you don't get anywhere else,

We used the Kings Treasure takeaway for the first time for some time as our usual one was closed.

Tuvimos una comida fabulosa aquí una vez más. Tendemos a entrar una vez al mes, y como es tan relajado que me olvido de dejar un comentario.

Hace un par de años desde que visitamos pero el lugar ha ido cuesta abajo. La comida era indescriptible, el personal no era lo suficientemente bien informados sobre el menú o las bebidas disponibles, que eran limitadas en su elección. No creo que volveremos!

Probamos este lugar por recomendación de un amigo, en vez de ir a nuestro local, a pocos minutos de distancia. Hemos tenido muchos llevar china a lo largo de los años, pero este era realmente bueno. La calidad de la comida era mejor que la que hemos tenido antes de una comida para llevar. Cada comida parecía mejor que otros hemos intentado, y estaba buenísimo. A juzgar por la cola que formó tan pronto como abrieron a las 6 de la tarde, muchas otras personas de acuerdo.

Este lugar es un verdadero impredecible, pedí para llevar el mes pasado, cuando llegué a casa el pollo en el curry era difícil y las patatas fritas no eran simplemente demasiado hecha, eran negros. ! ! Llamé, me quejé y la chica de recepción fue muy disculpas y me preguntó si quería su sustitución, le dije que no, pero sin pasar por mi queja al cocinero"! ! "fui el miércoles 22 de febrero de 2017. Obviamente no podría ser más cuidadosa en alimentar al cliente bk como lo eran completamente quemado y una vez más, terminó en la papelera. No vamos de nuevo.

We were going to get a "Take Away" but decided to eat in. Only one other table occupied so service was good. Salt and garlic chicken wings delicious. We also had fried lamb and sizzling fillet of beef with rice a seasonal veg. All extremely tasty. The owner came had a chat which was very nice.

He utilizado este restaurante durante muchos años principalmente para llevar, pero a la postre para comer. Esta noche había muchas mesas vacías, pero estaban sólo disponibles para grupos de cuatro y más, no sólo dos. Muy miope como un negocio.

I have been twice the first was okay the second time was one of the worse I've had and put me off going again. The chicken balls look overdone and look as if they had been cooked numerous times. They didn't taste better either believe they were re cooked. Im a massive fan of prawn crackers but these were stale. I said to the misses I would not go back again. I have been to golden boy once and that was better than this by a mile.

I have been using this takeaway and restaurant for over 20 years, Bruce and his family are superb and very hardworking, the food is always superb, and freshly cooked, i agree the interior is typical old school, and requires some attention however the food always makes up for it, the business is strongly focused on takeaway, i would highly recommend chicken curry, aromatic lamb and the sweet and sour chicken cantonese style

The food is okay for takeaway, definitely the best Chinese in horncastle although that's not hard to beat. Really unhygienic however.

Had I read some of the other reviews I maybe wouldn't have come. I had some deliciously tasty food, the tofu satay was really good. We sat in for the meal. It was quiet and we were served really quickly. I'd happily come back.

This is not a bad chinese restaurant and we have been here a few times. It's pleasantly and traditionally decorated and the serving staff are very pleasant if very young and inexperienced.We've never had poor food - every dish we have had has been freshly cooked and delicious.However, there needs to be some attention to detail: eg we had cutlery that just seemed a bit stained and our wine glasses had water stains on them so I think maybe glasses, cutlery etc need to be dried properly. The staff, as mentioned, are very pleasant but they are young and, each time we've been in, they appear to have been left to their own devices. This means that they don't necessarily notice when service is needed and customers have to sit and wait (and I am talking about times when the restaurant is quiet).Sometimes the best food in the world might not be enough to encourage return visits if there is not the attention to detail.

do'nt go by the look!inside and out was'nt much but.......the food was brilliant.sizzling beef in ginger the best.The waiter a bit annoying but meant well.

I got a take away and the food was bland, the sauces watery and the containers were only half full. It was a good thing I remembered what I had ordered, because I would have had no idea what I was eating other than that. Despite ordering and waiting for the food in the very small waiting area, when the food arrived, it was luke-warm. The carpets were 'sticky' underfoot and in need of a good clean. On the plus side, the girl who served me was cheerful and smiled a lot.

Friendly service and excellent food with a very good wide range of different chinese and cantanese dishes to choose from

Possibly the worst meal I have ever paid for.Front of house staff were all nice but that's'the only positive thing to say about our visit.

We ordered our food at 6 pm to collect at half 8. We get there and they say another 20 to 25 mins before it will be ready. Also I made my order of their site because there was a few of us, we wrote it down with prices. When I go and collect it is another £14 on top when I said that's not what I got it to, the girl Said the prices on the Internet have been wrong for a few years. I told her that I should only be charged from the price that they have advertised on their site. Then I have owner come out and have "words" with me, telling me that it is not his fault and that he would not be giving my money back for the different. We have used this place a few times as it's close to us, but after that I will never use it again. Discussing

Never going to king treasure Chinese again shocking service tonight order for at 6.30 to pick up of 745 get there and and they said 25 mins late for food what a joke specially when I had my Indian sat in the car going COLD (which was collected on time from Agra Tandoori ) ending up having to get money back and end up going to bamboo garden order special curry & egg fried rice & get it within 10 mins without having to pre order and free prawn crackers !!

We had a takeaway meal from here yesterday as it was recommended to us. Well I wish we hadn't bothered. My mum and I had sweet and sour Cantonese chicken, which was far too sweet and very sickly. My dad had sweet and sour pork which he said was very tough. My husband had shrimp chop suey and he said it was quite sweet. I assumed sweet and sour sauce was a red colour, this was dark brown. Also the place needs a good clean as it is very dirty and very dusty. It is also a very expensive restaurant and unlike many other Chinese takeaways, you don't get free prawn crackers. Not nice food and way too expensive.

Everything deep fried. Very very expensive .All seems a not grubby. Sticky under foot yuck. Some food was hot some only just warm .

Try the Mongolian skewers! Friendly staff, everything is always so tasty. We wouldn't go anywhere else for a Chinese now, they never let us down.

Nothing more to tell really. Will go elsewhere in future. It doesn't cost anything to keep the place tidy.

Popped into here for a takeaway on way to the mother in laws new house. Haven't been for a couple of years and was surprised to see the restaurant had been decorated but the ceiling of the restaurant was still dirty and grotty looking. Takeaway was disappointing the only nice thing were the prawn crackers which weren't even complimentary with the £30 worth of meals. Travel further afield for your takeaway.

Called in on spec for hopefully a reasonable meal - set meals whilst available it was unclear how many people was it intended to serve. The meal that followed was totally uninspiring have been cooked by someone who really didn't care what was being churned out. Total lack of ambience and effort all round. I'm sure you can find yourself a better place than this

You travel way back in time when you visit this Chinese........do not think it has been updated since it opened....This is one of those places that employs youngsters because they are cheap and then give them no training. Service was slow to say the least and the gaps between courses painfully long. When the food did arrive there were no plate warmers so by the end of the meal the dishes are cold.Food average at best.........

This is the first review I have ever written but a feel I must if only to save you money. We were staying in a village about 3 miles away from Horncastle with no internet signal to check trip adviser, so we had no idea of what we were to let ourselves in for. We chose to have a take away, we ordered satay chicken which was swimming in oil, sweet and sour chicken balls which were burnt and in edible, special chow mein and special fried rice which were only just edible for my husband, I could not eat any and as for the chips what can I say, like the chicken balls we think they must of been fried about 5 times as they were more like burnt roast potatoes not resembling chips at all, this was by far the worst meal ever presented to us.

me and my wife ate here a few days ago this restaurant is so dated it needs to get into the 21st century. The decoration is like the first time I went to a Chinese back in the 70's. Ive eaten here before several times but it was a few years ago, every thing is still the same, apart from the food. I had pork ribs as a starter they were overcooked hard tasteless and difficult to eat. My wife had salted chicken which was ok although the portion was small. For the main course I had chilli beef, my wife had chicken with green pepper and black bean sauce we shared an egg fried rice. I enjoyed my beef but my wife thought hers was well portioned but tasteless, the rice tasted burnt we asked them to do it again but it came back tasting even more burnt. All in all the whole experience apart from the staff who were very nice was very disappointing , I think it maybe a few years before we go back again, assuming they change the wall paper.

After reading reviews on trip adviser we placed a telephone order, on arrival staff very friendly and order ready.Lovely food at a good price.

Really enjoyed our meal. The food was superb, authentic Chinese. The staff were friendly and helpful . Would really recommend a visit. They do take away too.

This made a most pleasant change from the mass production buffet venues which are so popular these days. Waiter service and freshly cooked dishes made the meal more expensive for sure, but not massively so. Having previously used the take away here, I was not disappointed by the food at all, indeed the house special menu at £20 per person was excellent - especially the crispy lamb. I agree with previous posters the decor could do with work, and the whole place was very quiet right after New Year, but the bottom line is we will certainly return and on a busier night I know there will be more atmosphere.

We have been eating at the Kings Treasure, or 'Bruces' as we call it for years.The food has always been absolutely delicious, the best Chinese food by far. We have eaten at The Ocean and The Phoenix in Lincoln but the food at the Kings Treasure is so much nicer/tastier - a true Chinese Restaurant, always our 1st choice.The service is always very friendly and you are always made welcome.Ok the décor isn't plush....but who cares! We don't, we just love it!

Very good choice of food and always served within 15 minutes but can be longer at very busy times but worth the wait . The restaurant could do with a modern refit as it is a bit dark and looking very worn and old .
