Kylin Oriental Restaurant in Sunderland

Best chinese I've had in years. But sadly second time I've ordered, they got my order wrong and after waiting for over an hour it was very frustrating. Food I did get was great, but more care is needed in getting order right.

WELL NOT THE BEST AREA, BUT DONT LET WORRY YOU. THE FOOD IS FANTASTIC THE SERVICE IS OUTSTANDING MY WIFE SAID THE HOT AND SOUR SOUP IT WAS THE BEST IN OVER 35YEARS I ALSO HAD THE STICKY TOFFEE PUDDING TWICE IT WAS THAT GOOD PRICE IS GOOD SO IF YOU FANCY A GOOD VALUE MEAL GO THERE

Gem of a place for fantastic food. They offer a tremendous menu, all of which taste fantastic. The staff are fantastic and always accommodating Can't recommend highly enough!

Great food, didn’t have to wait long and staff were polite. Definitely recommend the special, £9.50 cant go wrong for two course. Will return.

Ordered for delivery but not worth the wait. The duck spring rolls were so dry and chewy I felt like I was eating leather and the char siu was not what I expected, it came and was basically a tray of steamed vegetables with pork slapped on top. It was watery, tasted like pure salt. I don't think they should be claiming that red coloured water is szechuan sauce.

Fresh, well served dishes with lots of variety. Lovely staff and very reasonable prices for the quality you get. Highly recommend.

Awful experience. Phoned in advance to book a table, was taken to a table where we had a fork and no other cutlery yet every other table had chopsticks, knives etc. We were sat waiting for drinks that we could see on the bar, one other table in the whole restaurant and three staff members yet no one brought drinks, I had to ask a member of staff to get them from the bar. Takeaway orders are clearly a priority for this restaurant as we were ignored the majority of the time. Food was served and we had no cutlery, again we had to go up and ask for the basics as no one seemed to be bothered. Food was great, no complaints. It was a birthday and I believe the restaurant knew we were upset at this point so brought out a little cake which was a nice gesture. Overall extremely poor service, but great food.

The best Chinese food in Washington .

Another lovely night at the kylin. The restaurant was busy. The same 2 members of hard working staff on, they are fab at there job, complete patience of a saint. It’s the start of my daughter’s 11th birthday celebrations. We all ate from the 13.95 set menu but swapped some of the pains. We ordered salt & pepper ribs. Salt & pepper chips both x2, normal chips & noddles Great value for money. Great service & a lovely atmosphere Will always return

Lovely food and didn't wait long for it

Banquet meal for four persons ordered for delivery, what used to be a really nice Chinese was utterly poor for £80. Four dishes all bland and even the hot and sour soup which used to be amazing was just salty and no prawns or anything. Barely any prawn crackers between four yet ridiculous amounts of rice to fill you up as not much meat. Cut back and really tasteless, real shame as use to be a good restaurant and take away.

Delicious - hot spicy soup was amazing.

Very good Hidden gem Love the pet fish

got a takeaway last night and thought it was excellent quality

Another great meal at the Kylin. Tasty food at fair prices & friendly service in pleasant surroundings. It's well worth a try.

Beautiful food, lovely service great restaurant 👌 😀

disappointed with everything, food, atmosphere and not a lot of oomph in the service, did not enjoy the food, dishes were served up cold and sauces were thick and gooey, dirty menus and your tables had a film of grease on them, not a lot of choice in coffee selection neither your restaurant was very cold and draughty and smelt of dampness 😒😒

Popped in on the off chance. We have been a few times over the yrs. staff are always very friendly. Plenty of choice on the menu. We opted to eat from the happy hour menu, £13.95, excellent value for money. Chicken & sweet corn soup, prawn crackers Sharing platter- prawn toast, spring rolls, ribs & sea weed A choice of 2 mains( can be changed if you ask) & a sharing pot of rice We got some extras salt & pepper ribs & chips x2 Absolutely lovely. Well worth the money. Great restaurant

I visited on a quiet evening in early January for a birthday meal. We had the happy hour banquet and the food was outstanding. Great value as well. Will definitely return!

1st time ordered here, best chinese takeaway I have ever had. Hot, fresh and very tasty. Superb delivery. 10/10!!!

Ordered delivery as my local favourite chinse was closed, and I was so pleased how good the food was. Really delicious. Will definitely use again.

Lovely food, great service and nice atmosphere

Kylin are our favourite local Chinese restaurant for a sit down family meal. We often come here for small celebrations and have found the food to be very good value and delicious and the service to be friendly. Thank you

Eat in or take out - food is great and staff are friendly

Eating in or takeaway the food is always brilliant! Would definitely recommend. The atmosphere when eating is is great whether you’re with friends, family or your partner

Lovely Chinese food, reasonable portions.

How the mighty have fallen. Duck soup very fatty, soft shell crab greasy, crispy duck dry, lobster over cooked and barely edible. Always my "go to" for a special occasion but I'll never return.

One of the best Chinese restaurant's around

A nice restaurant with attentive staff and good food. The burnt out telephone box outside ruins the atmosphere of the location.

Lovely visit but staff seemed to rush us..not needed.

Ordered a set meal at £72 only to be charged £2 delivery fee scandalous

Lovely food, bit quiet when we ate Saturday.

Very tasty food at a great price

Food & service good. Would suggest place needs a good bit of decorating/updating We got sat next to a rather dirty fish tank. Room was very cold, no central heating, only form of heating was 2 x calor gas heaters

Takeaway chaos! Ordered takeaway, we turned up on time.... Customers queuing, fobbed off with 'it'll be 2 minutes', when pressed told about 10 minutes..... Got refund as no faith looking at what was going on

Ordered takeaway in person at restaurant. Called to collect at the time they said, chaos! At least a further 10 minutes after originally being fobbed off with 'it'll be 2 minutes'

Only went for a takeaway. Excellent food and service

A excellent dining experience 👌

Great restaurant...lovely food ...excellent service

Great food value for money but forgot my chips.

Great cheerful and helpful staff,it was my daughters 40th birthday she had also got engaged.The staff couldn't do enough to make a night perfect.The food was delicious

Absolutely tasteless and way over cooked, quality of food was not good apart from the prawns. Expensive too!

Food was absolutely amazing! Very Friendly people that work here. Will definitely be returning very soon.

Food was absolutely beautiful, and didn't wait long for it to arrive, staff very friendly . Will definitely return

Been here before but not in a good while, greeted by a lovely gentleman who showed us to our seats near a very interesting fish in a tank. Food came out prompt, we had Salt and spicy ribs which were ok, the chicken spring rolls are the best, and the wings were nice. I had fillet steak in black pepper it was good. Fairly pricey bill but food was good so can't complain, would return in near future.

Not good, first time trying this place and last. tried the stir fried chicken with mushrooms, No seasoning at all, no salt/pepper, bland and more like a broth a few sliced carrots, tasteless onions and tasteless mushrooms, tasteless courgette an all round dishwater meal. Give it one star because no facility to give any less. Disgusting

Best chinese food in washington by far

Really nice food, and staff were very attentive.

I absolutely love this Chinese, it has a lovely traditional Chinese homely feel to it. The staff are as lovely as the food. Excellent choice. We ate off the £18.99 banquet, added noddles and salt & pepper chips to the main course. Absolutely lovely & bought plenty back with us. Washed down with a lovely bottle of house white wine

Kylin is one of my favourite places to eat Chinese type food. Good food, helpful friendly staff, and pleasant decor. All at a reasonable price. They do an excellent takeaway service too. We made good use of that during Covid restrictions!

Food is amazing.. easily one of the best Chinese restaurants in washington.

Fab service lovely people food was excellent... Would recommend

Amazing food and amazing service!

Great food , really good service , well deserved of the 5 Stars

Had a take away Saturday, firstly it was late, thats a few times now that we have had late deliveries. Quite dissapointed in food, we had quarter of crispy duck which was poor, the hoisin sauce to go on pancakes was just like water. Main course wasn't much better. Ive always highly rated the Kylin but lately the food has gone right back

1st time dining here, the food was amazing as was the service.

After living in Washington for years it was nice to finally introduce my partner to the amazing food here. Fresh, Hot and authentic dishes served quickly and bursting with flavour. Staff were really friendly, helpful and accommodating when requesting alterations to the specified menu Good portion control. Miles better than youre average takeaway.

We found this gem of a restaurant on trip advisor. The food was excellent and the service really exceptional. We will definitely visit this one again next time we are staying in the North East. Great value for money .

Surprise find care of Google maps. Had a Sunday special which was great. Will go back.

Unprepossessing from the outside but great food and friendly, efficient staff. Great value too.

Very nice food, good service and good value for money

Excellent in every way - choice, quality, service and quantity! Thanks

Good sevrvice. 3 good dishes 1 ok(satay that didnt taste like it should wheres the nutiness

Very warm welcome from an amazing team, fast and efficient service. Atmosphere was great, clean and stylish decor! Food was served hot and in good time full of flavour. Drinks were served refreshing and promptly replenished when empty. Offering both a dine in and takeaway option suitable for all variety of diner.

We found a local place to have Dim Sum and jasmine tea. The salt and chilli squid and prawns are delicious too. Its on our happy list of foodie places. Very friendly.

Always excellent. I Always go here at least once when I'm in the area.

killed my annoying son he was a fish 😄😄😄😄

Food was amazing, staff were very friendly. Couldn't fault anything

Quality food at a reasonable price

Worst ever Chinese i have ever had, dry salt and pepper chips, the singapore fried rice does not even taste like it should , just put everything in the bin

All staff very nice and friendly meal beautiful

1st time going to the Kylin and is was absolutely gorgeous. Great food and friendly staff and will be back again 5*****

Fantastic food. Can recommend the chicken and mushroom and special foo Yung. Friendly service and great food

Booked for sons birthday during these times of restrictions. All four had a great time even though it was the quietest I’ve seen the restaurant.Food and service does not disappoint and on the list to do again. Nice touch with a surprise cake and round of happy birthday which was unscripted.

Best oriental food in Washington! Great for veggies/vegans, absolutely love having a choice of tasty vegan chicken/duck!! Staff are lovely - Always take great care of us and make us laugh! Reasonably priced. Well worth a visit!

第一次来这个地区因为工作到很晚，在网上看到这个餐馆还在营业中，抱着试一试的心态，没想到很快找到而且一进来就受到老板娘的热情接待。点了椒盐虾和豆豉椒鸡和蛋炒饭，菜饭都上的非常快而且非常好吃！分量也非常足！值得五星好评！

We have been coming to the Kylin Oriental for years, since it first opened and have never had a bad meal or experience. Lovely food, really nice people. Very lucky to have these on our doorstep 5 stars from us.

Food is always delicious, but I'm sorry I've had to phone up 2 hours after ordering for home delivery to be told it will be another 40 minutes!! The lady had an attitude and told me it's quicker to pick up... I don't drive or I would of done That! They were slow last time I was in Dining with them it was almost 40 mins inbetween dishes Got a feeling its going to be after 9pm after ordering at 6:20pm. Certainly not a service to recommend!

Flippin love this place. Lovely warm, friendly atmosphere, pleasant surroundings and fantastic, fantastic good. Been going here for years, easily as good as the big hitters in China Town, but on our doorstep. Brilliant and highly recommended

Arrived at 6:30 and only one member of staff on the whole night serving 10+ tables and seemed like the takeaway was the priority. We requested a table for 12 and were promised one round table at the back, upon arrival we had a round table for 8 and a small table for 4 on the end, not very good for a 60th birthday. No balloon as promised either. Mains took over two hours to come out, and at £23 a head we thought it was all just really shoddy service. We could see a lot of other tables were displeased too. Over £300 bill for awful service, certainly will never book again for a special birthday.

Went with family on the eat out to help out on Monday. Very well organised, staff were lovely and food was great. Had shredded duck with pancakes for starter and schezuan sizzling beef for main. Portions really good size and food very clean

Absolutely love this restaurant, the service and food are both excellent, they also do takeaways, not tried them as we live a distance away, but I'm sure they will be top class. The staff are very friendly.

Friendly, nice staff. Good place for a drink with friends or on your lonesome.

Beautiful food. Good friendly service. Will definitely be back.

Food was beautiful aslway staff are lovely

Polite, friendly and efficient service. Nicely furnished. Delicious food and good portions. Excellent draft drinks and good value overall. Ideally situated next door to the Stella Maris for a drink before or after your meal. Highly recommended

Decided to try this restaurant after reading reviews on Tripadvisor and we were not disappointed. The lady who served us was very welcoming and pleasant. We went for the three course Sunday Special and it was fantastic! Choice of soup, followed by shredded duck with pancakes, your choice of main course then tea or coffe. The service was prompt and the food was very tasty and piping hot. If we are ever in the area again we would definitely return.

Was throwing up and runny poos the same night also overpriced

First time customer and I'll be back for more! Prompt delivery, great tasting food and 3 free beers thrown in for good measure.

This place is good. Well worth the money

I love it. The food is always lovely and my fella who's never been before was impressed

This little Chinese never fails to impress with food and customer service.We come here once a month and travel a good 15 mile to come but is worth the travel, the starters came out piping hot and the chicken spring rolls are the best, the salt and spicy ribs and very yummy, my partner had veg spring rolls and she enjoyed them.The kids had chow mein and chicken balls, then for mains I had fillet steak in black pepper which was nice and my partner had salt and chilli chicken which was equally nice.The staff were freundly with us and the kids and will always return.

Saw an advert in a new local magazine for a two course special around £8:50 per head, so decided to give it ago. Pleasant decor, only around three tables occupied, three of us ordered from the special menu. Food was very good and the service was also very good. They do a take away menu as well, that side looked quite busy.Would definitely go back.

Food is really good, but the prices are absolutely ridiculous. The banquet we used to get for £20 in 2014 is now £38

Never had a bad meal yet and been going for years

Good meals nice and friendly staff

Attentive service. Food first class. Large car park near by. Recommended
