As I have special dietary needs, We had an English meal thinking that it would be fine for me to eat but the menu didn’t state it was in a sauce that I could not eat. So I couldn’t eat it.

I have had lots of takeaways here over the years and I just wanted to say how good they have been recently. The service is always friendly and efficient and the food very tasty. My favourites are the sea bass dish, the spring rolls or noodles.

Ordered 3 chicken curry with chips and a pot of sauce. It was an awful meal.. the chicken was stringy, the curry had a strange almost bbq taste to it. The chips looked and tasted like re heats! Awful all round. All 3 of us did not enjoy the meal not finish it. Won't be returning.

We had a takeaway from here on Friday night and I can honestly say it was absolutely disgusting. Total waste of money the meat in the curry hadn’t even mixed in with the so called sauce, this tasted nothing like curry and wasn’t even a sauce it was like jelly. Would never visit this place again.

Seeing recent reviews I wonder if they have a new chef. Usually our go to Chinese takeaway but this time it was not good. Prawn toasts tasted like chicken and had a strange texture, no sweet and sour sauce with the chicken balls which were so thick in spongy batter it was difficult to find the chicken! Egg fried rice was stodgy and most of it we threw out. We spent £42 and got no complimentary crackers! We live five miles from Eye so no point in taking stuff back.

Food is not as good as it was. Last time here, I had an excellent meal and didn't feel bloated when I left. This time, food was very glutinous, and I felt uncomfortable when I left. The chow main was dry and service poor. Young staff that need training. This is down to the restaurant owners.

Got to say that after coming here for over ten years, tonights takeaway was probably the worst takeaway we have ever had. Soggy chips, uneadable mixed balls( the meat was so tuff and the batter under cooked) bland chicken chow main, bland duck chow main, pineapple rice with no flavour, soggy chilli beef with the worst sauce ever, not only was it cold part of the order was wrong! When we rang to complain about the wrong dish we were given all sorts of excuses. They did replace it and refund the dish but the replacement was also cold. Most of the dishes went straight in the bin. Paul is definitely missed here. We won't ever go back now. Gutted as it was once the best Chinese in the area 😢

Good quantity and not bad tasting food hot and a wide variety of dishes. Just no atmosphere, service front of house watching TV which we could hear over the repetitive chinese music and lady wearing coat to serve just didn't feel very like a restaurant when you are being charged higher prices to eat in and drink with them. Perhaps on quiet nights in the week don't open as a restaurant just do takeaway only. Rose house wine was too sweet for my taste but Tiger beers good.

Were on holiday in Eye. Really enjoyed the food and the setting/atmosphere. Had the mixed starter for 2 which was excellent. Tried a new dish to us "Nutty Chicken" - delicious (hot & spicy with a real depth of flavour). Staff (and locals) friendly and welcoming. It's not sophisticated but it is delightful. Would love to go again but live 3 hours drive away.

Quirky and friendly staff is all I can say. Food is just very poor. We both had the tom yum soup which tasted like the hot & sour soup just with tom yum ingredients (mushrooms, prawns). Not great. Crackers tasted greasy and old (chewy). Egg fried rice was ok but the black bean duck was not. Having had food poisioning here a while back this awful food is the last straw. Will use other china restaurant in town from now on.

We had an excellent 80th Birthday party for 10 people and they treated us all so well with balloons and a rendition of "Happy Birthday" in Chinese from Shirley and her crew. Highly recommend - but book ahead for take-away and sit-in as they get really busy due to their fame spreading.

The ambience / atmosphere is cosy - a bijou and traditional interior full of charm and character. Hosts Paul & Poppy ensured a very warm welcome and the service was extremely attentive and interactive. Food was delicious and plentiful - a wide range of menu options to choose from including some very nice sounding sizzling dishes and house specialities. Will definitely be making a return visit soon.

A small hidden away restaurant in this quaint Suffolk village. Booking is essential to guarantee a table and once inside this small converted restaurant, one can understand its popularity. Mr Lee maintains a firm guidance on his family staff ensuring his delicious meals are served quickly. The menu is huge, as one might expect, but there is no hurry to order as one enjoys a drink. Once a dish is chosen one is assured of a well cooked delicacy,

We just had a week in Eye and were happy to find Lee's Cottage was open for us to dine in as we'd been a year earlier and really liked it. Our 10 year old is a big fan of this place and asked if we could meet my sister and her son there as a late birthday treat. All five of us had great food - and in fact we had such a nice time the three of us returned a few days later. We never normally eat out that often, or have Chinese that regularly! Possibly the highlight of this place is Mr Lee himself, who is so friendly and charming and couldn't make you feel more welcome.

First time we went, this restaurant was nice, delivering good food quickly at reasonable prices. So when we went again a few days ago, was rather disappointed. The service was very very slow - waiting an hour from getting there to our first food was excessive. A table of customers next to us walked out due to long waits. The food was mediocre this time. A lot of sauce, not a lot of veggies or meat within it. They delivered some wrong dishes to that ordered as well. I hope they get their act together and return to the quality of food and service they originally had.

I am really quite disappointed by standards of the mandarin, went in and ordered two pots of satay sauce… waiting area filthy no one there to take an order for a start. Overall condition of the building is poor, rubbish flowing out of bins and mess everywhere in the car park. When I got home I pulled out a lovey hair out of my satay sauce short and black which couldn’t of possibly been mine as I don’t have black hair… explains the 1 star food hygiene rating on both of there surprise EHO visits, in most recent years. also explains why they are really quick to shut the kitchen door and ensure it’s kept shut at all times, I’ve even heard one of the chefs shout once to shut the door. Really disappointed and will go else where from now on you guys have really let your standards slip… sad really maybe it should be turned back into a pub
