Koover in Croydon - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Gave me a £1 coin as change when £1 coins are no longer a legal form of compensation

I can describe this place in one word AMAZING.

What is going on with the Chinese food in this area? Recently I’ve been trying new restaurants but this place was down there with some of the worst. Absolutely basic, tasteless, stale, luke warm trash food! As soon as I finished eating what I actually could stomach my belly was bubbling like bong water. The Tofu was chewy, stale and the smallest portion I’ve ever seen for the price. Salt and Pepper chips weren’t even salty with no Chinese 5 Spice flavour at all. All I’m going to say is that thank god I decided to try it on the Deliveroo save 7 promotion otherwise it would have been over £30 and also on a Friday night just incase I shat my pants later and I won’t need to call off work the next day. I’m genuinely starting to think Croydon has the worst Chinese food out of all of London. 1.5/10 Bonus point for giving us free spring rolls and the curry sauce was ok.

The food was terrible sweet and sour chicken was dry and burn chicken balls were oily and undercooked grilled dumplings were terrible and were tangy go off who put sweet corn in dumplings the rice was plastic. I would never order from here again. £35 inedible food

Terrible service took my order on just eat and told me to phone for a refund obviously a restaurant who are gready and have no issue taking people orders without letting them know whats going on

Chef must have changed for was really bad prawn balls over cooked and bitter tasting rice not fried.

Love the place, doesn't get as much recognition as it should.. great little Chinese... Would recommend.

If I could put 0 stars I would. The lady wasn't pleasant Think she needs therapy. And they didn't even give us our full order then closes the restaurant right after.... at a weird time as well. I'm not surprised. Sketchy people do sketchy things

Good service. Nice decor. Food was OK. I'd go back.

Food is always good when I order from here. The shop is a bit dark and gloomy. They only take cash payments here, which is annoying.

Though I liked it but my friend does not l, may be his taste buds were not adjustable to this type of food

Sweet and sour chicken was extremely sweet and sickly... the service was polite but the food could improve

They have a FHRS rating of 3, no wonder food poisoning is a real thing for this place. Yikes!

Ordered 5 dishes and one was missing! After waiting for over hour and a half. Food was average. Will not be ordering again.

Not as good as it use to be, I bought take away meals from the original owners back in the 60's, when I left Thornton Heath I kept going back to order, things has gone downhill since then. One Star I'm being generous.

Now this is the best Chinese food I have ever tasted been eating from here for over ten years there food is always on point so far so good

Egg fried rice was soggy and had egg shell! Sweet and sour pork was horrible....and the salt and chilli fried ribs wasn’t hot! I wouldn’t recommend this place!

Very disappointed today. The order was incorrectly taken an the customer was blamed. Really. Being very busy good sign but be humble when you make a mistake.

Excellt food and was quick and easy to order

Spare ribs I had were hard and chewy like they were made some days ago and reheated several times.

Food use to be really good, had various dishes over the last few months, myst have changed cook. no longer enjoyable.

Ordered £50 worth of food and was getting it delivered through deliveroo. Was waiting so long that the restaurant closed & deliveroo had to cancel the order.

Great food served however very bad telephone service

* Poor quality customer service when ordering over the phone * Food: dry, tasteless nor fresh As a result had food poisoning and extremely annoyed I paid over £50 for my order! DO NOT recommend nor will I ever purchase in the future!

very bad customer service, the guy on the phone sounds so rude

It was my favourite place. But now its not good as before. Service is ok but feel like "if you want it buy it or leave it"

JUST TRIED TO PHONE IN BEFORE I PLACED MY ORDER VIA UBER AS I HAVE ALLERGIES , SO WANTED TO MAKE SURE I WAS ORDERING THE RIGHT THING. TELEPHONE MANNER OF THE MAN ON THE OTHER LINE WAS APPALLING, I DECIDED TO BUY SOMEWHERE ELSE.

The most disgusting food service was outrageous and smells musky the fish need to go or environmental health needs to shut down.

Amazing 👍, #Chiro Massage Clinic

Loved it. Accomodated my awkward request well. Friendly manager.

New owners or different cook, food not the same. Have to look for another after all these years.

By for the best Chinese take away in Thornton Heath. Tasty food of the highest quality! 1* lost because they don't deliver.

Food not bad. Well worth coming back to. Chicken soup is a bit weak hence 4 stars.

Tasty food. Friendly staff. Best Chinese in the area

Absolutely love this place been going here to get my Chinese for about 5/6 years .

My partner got me mixed seafood & rice, can't believe the lack of seafood, I may of asked for a large rice..wouldn't go back...

Went to Koover after 2 years and was very very disappointed. Ordered Koover Special with boiled rice with fresh chilli & extra gravy - agreed when ordering. What I received was a 'very dry' tasteless lump of boiled rice (hardly any meat & veg) with chilli oil on top. This is meant to be their signature dish but can't even get that right! I've been going to Koover for over 30 years and seen the management change and Koover slowly deteriorate over the years - but not as bad as yesterday. Unless they start putting a lot more 'attention' into their food I won't be going back.. What a shame!!!

I Dont Know If They Have Changed Owners... But They Gave Us Raw Noodles And Put Cooked Meat On Top Wouldnt Suggest This Takeaway Unless You Want Raw Noodles.

Me and my boyfriend live locally and normally goes to a different Chinese but wanted to try something new and based on the ratings here we settle for this place! However DO NOT EVEN CONSIDER!!!! I don't know how anyone can even rate this place??? This Chinese is the worst I ever eaten. EVER!!! I had chicken cashew and the "chicken" was too soft and absolutely disgusting. My boyfriend had the duck in plum sauce and the duck looked undercooked and soggy. Neither of us ate our food and I was too put off to even consider eating that night! I'm a foodie and love a treat but this place is a nightmare! Not to mention there was major language barriers when ordering over the phone, and when we went to pick it up the woman that worked in the til was extremely rude!

Nice reception nice food nice environment

Great Tasting Takeaway Chinese. Been going there for years and they do really yummy food - would definately recommend! Try their Pineapple Fritters...

probably best kungpo chiken there is or prawns
