Really nice Salt & Pepper Squid, wasn't over done or cooked with soggy batter and flavourful. The thick chips were really fresh

Worsted place I have ever eaten. Avoid at all costs. All food was dripping with fat. Most of the food was over cooked apart from the spring roll. Prawns toast what burnt and doused in so much garlic it was inedible. Spring roll burnt on the outside but a soggy mush on the inside. Description stated chicken, pork, ham and beansprouts. Apart from one baby finger nail size peace of ham there was nothing but beansprouts in side. BBQ sauce was vile. Food ended up in the bin. Wish I had read the reviews first.

Place needs shutting down… should send watchdog there. Food isn’t even made in a proper kitchen it’s a shack.. if you want a side of rat droppings here’s the place to get some

Have always ordered from Lee Garden but I'm sorry but tonight was the last time. I've been charged £1.50 fir delivery & i only live round the corner. Where does all these £1.50 delivery charges go??? Your curry dishes used to come with rice & now you have to pay for the rice separately but I'm sorry paying £5 for special fried rice is over the top. Sorry to say but you can't say you need to recoup your loses from covid because you have been open throughout the pandemic.

Just received a delivery from Lee Garden. Chose them as they are rated well on just eat. Luke warm food. Looked and tasted like left overs from previous nights. Decided not to finish due to fear of becoming ill. Sadly we will never order from them again.

The worst Chinese I’ve ever had before, I don’t know how any of the reviews are good. The prawn toast was disgusting, the chow mein wasn’t edible. The chicken was disgusting and the chicken balls were Completely BURNT

Wish I had read the reviews first! Driver was not contactless, stood and handed me the bag! Chips were ok, rest was not good. I don’t know what meat was in the prawn toast but was not prawn, Kung po chicken was not like anything we had before, not in a good way, salt and pepper squid was soggy, slimy and inedible. Sorry, I know things are difficult at present for the service industry but will not be ordering from here again

First time writing a review and have to say this is by far the worst Chinese I’ve ever ordered. The food seemed like it was a week old, I wouldn’t feed this to the dog. The whole thing was greasy and felt like I was chewing an old boot. Our usual Chinese was closed and have never ordered from here before. Don’t order from here you will waste your money and be left feeling sick !!!

Do not waste your time and go here! Made our order, had to wait nearly 2 hours for our delivery and when it finally did turn up we had the totally wrong order, and a load of stuff missing. So I rang them up and got no apology nothing. Acted like I was in the wrong for asking for a fresh order, as the only item they did get right would be cold by the time the new food got here. When the new food turned up still no apology and had the cheek to ask for the wrong food back! So I don’t know what other person got that after we had opened it and touched it! When we opened our food the chips were not cooked properly and the chow mein was so greasy, litterly spoon fulls of grease coming off it! Most awful customer service I have ever received, I wouldn’t go back here if it was the last Chinese on earth. I hope lee garden read this and know what a pile of rubbish there business is. Peace out ✌🏼

I ordered the set meal for one + a pancake roll. Egg fried rice - fine Curry sauce - fine, then we go severely downhill.... Pancake roll was huge, lukewarm and filled with nothing but bean sprouts. Some meat or additional veg would be a simple improvement, even if you reduce the size? Pork balls were unedible, fatty pork, bones in the meat, overcooked and dripping with grease. Chop suey was a joke, a dish that was again 95% bean sprouts, then with the smallest amount of chicken upon digging thoroughly. (I say chicken, it was 60% chicken 40% water at best) A real shame, as we've just moved to the area and this was our first chinese takeaway. Will not be returning, we'll be trying others and hoping for the best. Certianly would NOT recommend.

We always use Empire House for our Chinese takeaway but it’s been a a shockingly long week and I didn’t want to have to go out again to collect. Turned to Just Eat to find someone that delivers, a tricky situation as not many takeaways deliver to the Notley’s! Anyway, found this place and quickly placed an order. We ordered: Vietnamese rolls S&S chicken balls Mushroom chow mein Chicken satay stir fry Then saw the reviews 😱😭 arrived on time if not a few minutes early. Served up 2 HUGE plates of food!! Stir fry: tasty 😋 Chow mein: a little greasier than we’re used to but it tasted like it had sesame oil added to it that did add a little extra flavour Chicken balls: batter a little thicker but really crispy and very fresh chicken breast inside Vietnamese rolls: weren’t my fave but partner enjoyed them so this could just be me 🤷🏼‍♀️ Anyway... it’s worth a try!! I would probably still use Empire House, but would order again if I had another ‘don’t want to leave the house AGAIN’ night! Hope the above is helpful!

Worst Chinese I've ever had. Collected the food and was not impressed with the premises. Food was tasteless and disappointing. Don't know where the people eat that gave good reviews of this place, they must have something up with there taste buds. Go to Lians it's worth the cost.

I haven't ordered food to be delivered from here for ages, months and we had a delivery tonight and it did not disappoint. We ordered a various range of food and was surprised at how good it actually still was if I had one complaint, it would be that there was too much. So delicious too, just as I remember. Don't change a single thing. If you listen to others that complain, im not sure what they are actually after - pure perfection. Thank you

Pedimos desde aquí la última noche. Tardamos 2 horas a domicilio (3 km por la carretera) y cuando llamé para preguntar qué estaba tomando tanto tiempo y me saludaron con grosería puro del son propietarios. Cuando la comida era finalmente entregado estaba frío y grasienta. Caro. No comeré aquí, evitar a toda costa.

Se tarda más de una hora de subir, siempre se quemó y frío, grasa y sin sabor ... y uno de los lugares más costosos te seducen! Completamente evitar a todo costo a menos que quieras dinero perdido y una enfermedad un tamaño es el tamaño de las porciones pero no vale la pena lo que fuera! Utilizamos esta chino en\fuera durante años y simplemente se pone peor y peor.

comenzó a usar Lee Garden nuevamente el año pasado después de un año a causa de comida basura. No estuve en mala en los últimos meses - Nunca gran mente!. Tras anoche - Nevet nuevo!. Pedimos comida por comer como siempre que vamos, presentamos con plato falta, llamó tienda y dijeron que se lo antes posible durante todo el año. También se quejaron tamaño de un plato y dijeron que siempre pequeñitos. Pedí otra. Cuando el plato desaparecido aparezca, querían cobrarme extra tema ordenados!. A pesar de que el error, cobraron!. comida estaba demasiado grasienta, malísimo servicio. Parece ser una tienda calidad grasienta chip de tarde sin pasión en la comida. pagaría el suplemento de usar estos nuevo!.

Pedimos 2 entrantes, 3 platos principales, arroz y pastas y vino a £30. Llegamos un poco tiempo después monitorear y no estaba muy caliente. Era muy grasosa y no muy sabrosa. tostadas de gambas tenía acento horrible que no encontrado de otro sitio antes. Pedimos desde aquí ya que era sólo para el área de China a comer sitio web. no hacerlo otra vez, quédate con la Nueva Eastern encantadora de ahora en adelante o probar otra chino que ofrece ... nada impresionado!

Food dripping in grease, soggy chicken balls (Empire House & Peking Chef do the chicken balls). There lots of better options for takeaway chinese in the high street, Mings are on of the best.

This is a very, very poor Chinese takeaway indeed. And responsible for one of the worst meals I've ever had. Singling out the worst aspect of the meal is quite hard to do. But the chicken balls are worthy of a special mention. Soggy dark brown batter that was, literally, oozing grease. This turned to slime when cut open and the chicken... I'm not even sure it could be called 'chicken'. Grease was, in fact, quite a common theme with every dish. What wasn't greasy tasted and looked as though it had been kept for quite a long time and simply re-heated. Pretty certain that the spring rolls, prawn toasts e.t.c. were wholesale 'freezer to fryer' jobs too. Nothing wrong with that if it's cheap and, at least, fried well. But these were simply inedible. I dread to think when they last changed their oil or had the fryer serviced. Only ordered from here as it was the only delivering establishment in the area. Do not fall into the same trap. It's well worth going to collect from a more worthwhile source if the alternative is this. Do not use this restaurant.

Absolutely terrible food!!! 0 stars 🌟 2 orders were wrong. Orderd Singapore rice noodles and was given rice. Mongolian duck was given pork in plumb sauce. Called the restaurant to complain and they said they will send the right dishes they came back and sent the same again. Phoned again to ask for a refund of the 2 dishes in which they was only going to give me £10.00 the Mongolian duck was £11.80 on its own!! They then said they will refund £15.00!!! Which is a joke. Will NEVER EVER order from this place again.

We booked a table for 4 for 7.30pm, we arrived a few minutes early and we were shown to a table at 7.25pm, at nearly 8pm we were still waiting to order drinks😩 when we finally got them the scene was already set, this wasn’t going to be a great night!! We ordered our food and seemed to wait an age for the starters to arrive, which were good… Duck & pancakes arrived at which stage we ordered another round of drinks as we were all empty, we only had 6 pancakes between 4 of us which wasn’t great, we finished the duck and the drinks still hadn’t arrived, when we questioned a waitress on the whereabouts of our drinks it transpired they were not even ordered as the waiter had forgotten them😡 Finally got the drinks and main courses which would have been better if they were hotter but hey hoy by this stage we were all starving. When the bill arrived it included a £12 gratuity which we told them to remove as the service had been so poor, at this stage there was no apology they just took the money… We have been here before and although we are fully aware it’s not fine dining venue the service really let them down.
