Have had tofu in green pepper and black bean sauce 3 times this month so far. It's consistently good and the only Chinese takeaway I will use. Nice pleasant staff and meals are reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend

Been here a few times when we have visited the area,, always been nice,, but not this time got the chicken/pork char Sui with noodles ,, chicken not proper chicken bit slimy and pork wasn’t the best ,, curry sauce we added more water to as was so thick , chips and rice was passable

We popped in to top up our dinner. Small spring rolls were hot, but pretty much devoid of filling, very disappointing. Chicken fried rice was ok, nothing much to praise or complain about. The girl taking our order clearly would prefer to be elsewhere and we were an annoyance to her. I couldn't recommend this place and its owners certainly could give the shop some personality and clean the place up!

We ordered the sharing box and to say we were disappointed was an understatement! All I can say was the ribs and chicken where so dry and overcooked the batter on the chicken was burnt had to take it off ! Only thing that was good were the prawn crackers!!! And the service was certainly not with a smile

Severely dissatisfied with the staff. Been sent away on multiple occasions because of their new rule. Only 2 teenagers allowed in at once. I’ve been coming her for 5 years every week. They have made close to £1000 because of me. Only to treat me like scum. The food tastes like raw plastic and has no flavour. Please do not go here, save your money and go elsewhere. The building reflects on the food accurately, a bland white wallpaper and there is little sitting room. The staff are rude and a new employee has ignored my order multiple times. I’ve spent 30 minuites waiting for my chips today. Nobody else is in here and the cashier is outside smoking! Don’t bother food tastes like s**t. I’d rather s**t in my hands and eat it.

What is good about this place?? Costs an arm and a leg and tastes like a cardboard letterbox. The chips are hard, wet and completely rank, the building itself is the opposite of well kept and presentable, the floors more bumpy than riding a log down a cobble road! the place really needs a makeover. Not only the food and the building are a problem, it’s full of chavs most of the time, some of them are alright but one of the young charvas threatened to smash an egg on my bald head after I told them to be quiet!!! just unacceptable especially coming from a sweaty onion of a child i suspect was around 15 years old, I’ve never heard anything like it. I know this was not Laus fault but they need to be dealt with accordingly in my opinion, sort it all out!! With prices that high I would think you could at least make the place pretty, the vinegar had a weird slimy substance in it which was absolutely disgusting and I’m sure it affected me rather badly.

Ordered 2 chicken & king prawn chow mein for myself and my partner and to say it was disappointing would be an understatement. It was basically just a tub of egg noodles with around 6 pieces of chicken and ONE king prawn. The chow mein was tasteless, the chicken was slimy & hardly any onion or bean sprouts either. Definately won’t be ordering again. For £17 I would expect better value for money and certainly more than one king prawn.

We ordered the set meal, which was hot and very tasty (if a little heavy on the Sezhuan pepper which made one dish too hot for our taste). However, we selected our food using the website, and phoned the order through, and we were shocked when we collected to find the meal was £4 more than advertised! That is a serious price hike! The website should be updated. So we suggest you check the price when ordering!

Had a meal on Sunday night that was the worst thing I've ever tried to eat in my entire life, the chips were very hard and impossible to eat with a fork, if I tried to pick on up with a fork, the chip shattered and shot off the plate. The sauce had a nasty snatch to it and the chicken was as dry as sticks, I couldn't cut the chicken portion with a steak knife. I have a dog that will eat anything, I put the plate down for her, she gave it a couple of licks, then walked away., if that doesn't speak volumes, nothing will. I'll never visit again.

The food was freshly cooked and really tasty. The chicken and cashew nuts was really delicious. We'll certainly be using Lau's again - the order was taken in a very efficient manner on the phone, the food was hot and tasty and there was a good choice on the menu.

Really enjoyed our food, temperature could have been better but that’s kind of expected with take away deliveries! We ordered at 18:00 and our food didn’t come till 20:05.. which as you can expect was a bit later than we wanted but The restaurant did let us know via text that our order would be late, so can’t fault the communication!

Food was left on the doorstep while the delivery driver made their way back to the car as quickly as possible, didn't get a chance to thank them... I think this was because the food that had been delivered had been rattled around to the point that it erupted all over the bag and was leaking. Couple of lovely stains from the sweet and sour on the cream carpet isn't ideal, but at least we got some free prawn crackers.

Was quoted hour n half for delivery when ordered via the app. It was then a FURTHER 50 minutes later than that. One message via just eat saying it would be about 20 minutes. And it was more than double that time. Food ordered around 7.40 and arrived at 9.45.

Food took two hours to arrive. Over 1 hope 15 minutes later than scheduled! Every 20 minutes the just eat WhatsApp altered to say another 20-30 mins later. Tried calling the takeaway twice. No answer. Food arrived cold and by this time we were no longer hungry and wanting to go to bed. No apology from the driver. There was half a bag of soggy chips that were so greasy they were inedible and no carton of food was full to near the top. Felt like we had been sent half portions. The spring rolls were rock hard and chewy like they’d been cooked and sat for hours. They are not the cheapest place to order from and it is definitely not worth what they charge. Will not be using again.

Having read some of the recent reviews we approached this with low expectations. However we couldn’t have been more wrong. We ordered the £23 set meal for two plus a beef chow mien and that was more than enough for a family of 4. All the food was delicious, although i should say that the warnings that the Szechuan chicken was hot were very accurate (lots of fresh green chilli - yum). We ordered this in the shop (and nipped over the road for a quick pint) and it was waiting for us when we returned. The food was hot and I can honestly say that as far as Chinese takeaways go this was as good as any I’ve had Having looked at the bad reviews they mostly seem to be about the home delivery service something I can’t comment on.

I am sad to leave this review as I have always found the staff at this takeaway very lovely welcoming people but I’m afraid I am very upset over an issue I have had tonight. I asked if I could have plain rice noodles with mushroom and nothing else. This was repeated back to me so I believed I had been understood. When my meal was made the server (manager?) informed me that they added egg for flavour even though I had not asked for this. I do not eat egg as it makes me sick. I explained politely that I do not eat egg and he apologised and said he would remake it. I must admit I should have known by how fast my meal was remade that something wasn’t right but I presumed I had been understood and due to their own mistake, my meal would be remade fresh. When I got home I began to eat my meal and all seemed fine at first until I noticed an odd taste and to my horror found small bits of egg still in my food. I am unsure wether they simply picked the egg off the original meal and repackaged it or cooked it in the same pan without cleaning out the egg first but unfortunately it has lead to me being sick and I will likely be unwell for the next couple of days. Again I am very sad to leave this review as the owners and staff are very lovely people and I often have a bag of chips from here but knowing that adding ingredients that weren’t specified then doing a poor job of making sure the replacement also didn’t include this ingredient is very dangerous. Thankfully my own health issues with eggs aren’t life threatening, just very unpleasant but it could be fatal if this happens to someone with a serious allergy so I had to bring it to your attention
