Lakeside Takeaway in West Dunbartonshire

I think this is the service in Alexandria,food was nice, was a lot, was super tasty. These guys do takeaway only, but they outshine all the other places in Balloch and Alexandria, I've been to almost all of them. So if you want something tasty, this is the place for you. I put a lot of emphasis on service, everything is clear and concise. Keep it up guys, thanks.

Enjoy a cheeky takeaway from here delivery is always very quick

Realy good quality of food, food was quick but still proparly cooked, staff was realy kind. Definitely recommend going there.😋

Absolutely disgusting meal from this takeaway! First of all the person answering the phone couldn't speak English, and when I called back to check on my order after an hour, they hung up on me. When I called back, they passed the phone to the taxi driver who sorted out the order, which finally arrived after 90 minutes! I wish I hadn't bothered, the only way to describe it is disgusting, and most of it was thrown in the bin. If that wasn't bad enough, everyone had an upset stomach over night. Needless to say, I won't use this place ever again. I'd advise avoiding this place.

Consistently good food and freshly cooked.

Always serve lovely fresh tasty food.

Ordered a meal for 7 adults. Arrived promptly by a very courteous driver. Food was amazing, piping hot and great value for money. We all agree that we would definitely order again.

One of the best orange chicken I have ever tasted and order over and over again.. Keep up the good food ♥️♥️

The meal I received was lovely x

Curry not nice at all no taste. Asked for chicken and mushroom curry no mushrooms. Husband got chicken and green peppers in black bean sauce. Red peppers and orange peppers no green peppers 🤔🤔

Rice was cold, soup tasted like oil, the sauce was all clumpy had to throw the whole thing out couldn’t eat it! Won’t be ordering again

As usual a very good meal from the Lakeside- we got a portion of crispy chicken and a portion of honey chicken, we ended up just eating one portion between us as it was so big, had the other the next night very tasty and filling

One off the best in west dunbartonshire by far

Absolutely amazing place. Highly recommended the chow mein!

Been looking for a good Chinese since we moved to Dumbarton and the Lakeside is fantastic, freshly cooked food and very tasty. Quick delivery as well. Battered salt & chilli chips which not many places seem to do. Some of the portions could be a little bigger but that's maybe just me being greedy!

gone downhill since owners left,,, food horrible now

The lakeside has always been my favourite takeaway for the last 17 years. I moved to perth when I was 18 but always made a visit to the lakeside when visiting family. Even made a few trips down just for the lakeside. My favourite was the salt and pepper chicken wings, I’d order 4 boxes to take home. Sadly new owners now have control of the lakeside and im sorry to say that the chicken wings are now terrible. Completely different to what they were and I am truly devastated. There was no other salt and pepper chicken wings like them anywhere I’ve tried and I’ve tried a lot. Now the lakeside wings are just like any other takeaway chicken wings. I really wish they could bring the old recipe back. I really don’t know what the old recipe consists of and it makes me sad. Please lakeside, listen and bring back the old recipe!

since the old owners left the new owner has raised prices twice during the pandemic while reducing the portion sizes, food quality and taste has changed (for the worse), we used to order from this establishment every weekend, but no more

Good value food you just want to eat as you walk past with the wonderful smell!

Got a chicken curry it was poor curry sauce was to thick wouldn't get it again

Amazing food and amazing staff well priced well worth the visit

We have a takeaway from Lakeside on a fairly regular basis, and I can honestly say that it is the only takeaway that I have been to that sells food to the same high standard every time. On this occasion we ordered a meal for 4 (myself, my partner, my sister and my niece). As usual we only ordered main courses as the portion sizes are pretty filling. I had my usual (king prawn chow mien with fine noodles), my partner had chicken with cashew, my sister had chicken with green peppers and black bean sauce, and my niece had lemon chicken. Having sampled all of the dishes I can say that they were all delicious. We phoned our order in, and collected it 10 minutes later. Very happy!

Ordered over £60 worth of food for 8 adults, to be served raw chicken in both the satay and chicken wings - which were reheated. The salt and chilli chips were just salt and every meal was devoid of flavour. The Kung Po chicken wasn’t bad as it wasn’t anything as there was no flavour. Very poor would not recommend to my worst enemy. A few slices of toast was needed afterwards. Avoid.

Been using lakeside for years. Excellent food.

One of the best Chinese meals I’ve ever had. Thank you very much

Horrible salt and pepper munchies box and chips. It's supposed to be salt and pepper not salt and garlic

Pleasant staff very helpful took time to answer questions about dishes on the menu simple dish well made would use again .

Only Chinese I will eat out off .. amazing food xx

Food is excellent... very clean hygeinic kitchen area. Prices are very reasonable and portions are generous. .

I use this takeaway on a regular bases. Always plenty and piping hot. They will amend orders to suite likes and dislikes.

Ordered takeaway last night. Rice cold. Curry sauce cold with a few circles of uncooked raw onion thrown in. Chips looked and tasted reheats. Lots of burnt leftovers. Not good at all. Standard dropped. Normally very good. But last night was awful.

Amazing food never had a bad meal in the whole time I've used them Best Curry in the Vale

Favourite take away! Food is always delicious and so clean. Great staff.

ordered a spicy chicken curry extra hot. wasn't very keen on it as it was very dry!!! usually enjoy meals there ......

I only gave any stars because the delivery driver was pleasant. I ordered salt & pepper chicken wings. They arrived quickly but were cold, undercooked as in bloody, & greasy. Absolutely inedible. First and last time using this place. Back to Wok Wong for me.

Due to chinese new year red cap was closed. Decided to give the new lakeside a go. Placed an order for delivery and when it arrived half the order was wrong. I called to tell them this they apologised and would send the correct parts out. I had suspected that i had been overcharged and after adding it up via the menu i had been by £3-4. I had to call them back to advice them of this mistake too. From the original order and the second part that arrived over 30mins later. The chicken satay on the skewer was consumable at best. Salt and pepper chicken was nice. PrAwn crackers where stale. Beef curry was binned after two bites. I was extreamly disappointed with new lakeside to say the least. I accept that mistakes happen but how you deal with them can make such a difference. When the delivery driver came to the door with the correct parts of the order. (Not the fault of the driver!!!!) he had been told to ask for the food that was sent out wrong. I have no idea what the intentions where for that and I'm not sure if i really want to know. I thought that was particularly appalling!! Overall the order was a disaster from start to finish. Food was poor only one dish was nice out of four. Customer service was poor(asking for the wrong food back!! Not even sending out fresh rice to go with the correct main that had taken over 30mins to arrive) In todays world with social media and TripAdvisor etc. There really is no excuse for this level. If you want to run a successful takeaway the standard i experienced will not benefit you in anyway. I needless to say will not be a returning customer nor will i be recommending to anyone.

Got a mixture of filled breakfast rolls. No complaints..all good. Quite a good choice on the menu, ideal when all you want is a quick bite to eat at a reasonable price.

The Lakeside is out Chinese takeaway of choice, the food is always hot and tasty and delivery is very quick, the staff are always friendly.

Tried this place after another takeaway I used to use went rapidly down hill, wouldn't go anywhere else now! Great portion sizes, quick service, fresh and above all tasty!

The person taking the order on the phone was courteous, order was ready at suggested time. The Munchy box is tasty bit of everything, It came in a pizza box and we expected a disappointment but we were so wrong! It was well cooked, the box was full of lots of tasty treats. I would fully recommend it.👍

Always buy chinese takeaway from here . Service is always efficient . Food great and never disappointed , would recommend this takeaway to anyone .

I have used this restaurant on numerous occasions and can't fault it. Staff are pleasant food is good and good portions. Creamy chicken is one of my families favourite dishes from here.

Lovely food served quickly always return back, kind staff and always pleasant recommend salt and pepper chicken and best sweet and sour sauce!

Always good service Sometimes they forget things but soon as I phone send straight up salt and pepper chicken is the best I've had for awhile

Muy agradable comida caliente, servicio rápido y amable, comidas puede ser cambiado, lo que es una ventaja, no las sopas son siempre caliente y sabrosa, vale la pena hacer una visita

I was new to area so was not sure where to go. Glad I picked here as the portions were very generous, I was quickly served and the meals very tasty

This is the best Chinese food take away in the area. Always made fresh. Salt and pepper chips are lovely. Great varied menu. Service is great and always cheery.

Food is so inconsistent that I no longer use this place. One day its great and the next its rotten. No matter how many times you ask for no prawns in certain dishes you get prawns.
