Love Eat in Tonbridge and Malling

Great Chinese takeaway. We have gone here for the past years and food is one of best Chinese takeaways have ever had and I'm not a big takeaway fan! Not sure what other reviewers have had but thoroughly recommend Singapore rice noodles, satay chicken on skewers, General Tso Chicken is fabulous, their chow mien is good too. I also find that they have some Japanese starters, katsu curry and teriyaki dishes on their menu, which is great. And Love Eat started doing prawn crackers too!

We are a fan of the general tso chicken! Loved it. But black pepper beef now has mushroom and bamboo shoots added, making the sauce watered down and the flavour palette changed a lot more. We're a bit disappointed.

Was a bit too prompt and that was reflected in the quality. Didn’t taste as good as usual

First class service chips over cooked

Another fabulous takeaway with our firm favourites- this business never disappoints, and the portion sizes are always so generous!

Repeat customer review, this is the best Chinese in tonbridge. Food is always fresh and delivery is always quick. We live 15 mins away from Love eat and it is always on time. Alex :)

"Love Eat in Tonbridge is hands down one of the best Chinese takeaways I’ve had in a long time! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and beautifully cooked. Their menu offers a great range of classic Chinese dishes, from crispy aromatic duck to delicious stir-fried noodles, and every dish I've tried has been exceptional. The portions are generous, and the quality of the ingredients really stands out. I especially love their sweet and sour chicken, which is perfectly balanced – crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. The delivery is always prompt, and the staff are incredibly friendly and accommodating. Whether you're craving a cozy night in with Chinese food or looking to treat friends or family, Love Eat is the perfect choice. Highly recommended!"

New review : The restaurant has improved its food and they accept card payments as well. Old review: Hot and sour soup was very sweet like dessert. Fried rice and Noodles are alright but nearby competition is better. One of the 3 restaurants in Tonbridge that only takes cash. Wonder if it's got something to do with taxes. Upside: Only chinese restaurant in the area that's open after 10pm until 11pm.

I asked for it to be delivered at 18.30and it finally arrived at 19.15 not happy

I ordered food at 18.20 after numerous phone calls to the restaurant i got told its on its way. 20.40 the food arrived. But by this time i wasn’t hungry and time had past. I dont no how your allowed to keep someone’s money with no food. I seriously hope i get a refund.

We are always so impressed with Love Eat! Our firm favourites are the salt and pepper dry spare ribs, and the Singapore vermicelli!

late on arrival and delivery driver set as delivered before it had arrived

Best Chinese takeaway in tonbridge, always come back here . The food comes in good portions and has a lot of protein compared to other takeaways which sometimes pack dishes with vegetables. The food is not greasy either, recommend the laksa it tastes very authentic.

good delivery time and portions but chow mein was flavourless, needs more soy I think.

First time trying love eat and I absolutely loved it! I was a tad skeptical because of a few reviews but I am so pleased that I ignored them! love eat will now be my new regular takeaway! delivery driver was lovely too! thank you so much for a lovely meal!

Order said 20.40 delivery, changed to 20.55 once I had paid! Now it’s 21.10 and still not arrived… disappointing, will not use again. J

Delivery came on time however the food tasted awful and I had a bad case of Gastroenteritis afterwards Don’t eat from here.

Tasty food, decent portions, friendly delivery driver

Great flavours, fresh, hot and good portion size

Food was LATE. It’s bad enough that when you order it says 40-60 mins but when you pay it changes to 90 mins!!!

Food was terrible I didn’t eat any went in the bin uncooked cold and dry won’t be ordering from their again

Best chow mein I’ve had in years

Love Eat, your food is undeniably delicious, but the repeated delays in delivery have become a major issue. Despite ordering at 7:55 pm with an estimated arrival time of 8:45 pm, my food did not reach me until 9:05 pm. When I contacted Love Eat, the conversation was confusing. I was informed that my food was on its way, despite the considerable delay. The representative cited excuses like it being a bank holiday weekend, we are very busy and suggested I pick up the food myself. There was no hint of an apology or attempt to rectify the situation, just a dismissive attitude. As I was speaking on the phone, the driver arrived 21.06 and was apologetic for the delay. However, this is not the first time such delays and unsatisfactory explanations have occurred. This time, it was the final straw. While I love the food, the consistently late deliveries and unhelpful customer service have become unbearable. I am tired of hearing the same excuses from uncooperative team members every time I call. Regrettably, I have decided to stop using Love Eat altogether.

Lovely food, arrived on time and was hot. Will use again

Really lovely food. Delivery was incredibly quick on a Friday night!

Worst Chinese ever do not go here

chicken a bit slimy, black bean sauce very watery other than that ok

I ordered food at 7.25 and it arrived at 9.20pm then the driver tried to argue with me about my address

Always consistently great and tasty food, friendly delivery driver 🙌

Best Chinese delivery in the area

The food and service here was absolutely disgusting, the portion was not what I paid for. The service from the server was just unwelcoming and very cold. Whilst my food was being served there was residue of rice being thrown on the side, which I found quite shocking. If I never paid for my food I would have left honestly. I wouldn’t recommend this place for alot of reasons, coming from a customer based environment myself I was just highly disappointed with the overall service, just absolutely poor and very distasteful.

Quickly prepared and piping hot.great food for the price and chatty friendly staff. Happy to recommend, looks newly refurbished and very clean.

Placed an order for an hours time, waited 1 hour 20 minutes and rung them to be told it was on its way. Waited another 20 minutes and rung back to find out they hadn't even started cooking our food yet and that it would be another 30 - 40 minutes. No offer of any discount, no sorry, no nothing. They lied, took the complete piss and ruined the evening food wise. Cancelled order.

Really good food, everything was lovely and it came in nice modern cardboard containers much better than plastic

Food turned up piping hot which was nice, everything was good apart from the chow mein that was swimming in oil

Absolutely fantastic Have been going to love eat since they opened Tonight was the best meal ever !! Love eat keep up the good work

First time coming here and couldn't ask for anything better, food was done to perfection and great service

One of the best crispy shredded chilli beefs I’ve ever had! Will definitely get food from here again.

Portions are much smaller than before. Much less meat than before. What a pity...

This is my first experience of eating from Love Eat and I can easily say that it's the best Chinese meal that I have had in a very long time!! I'm glad to have discovered this takeaway. Thank you and thank you for your kind service!

Food is fantastic fast delivery

DO NOT USE!! refusing to give my money back because i wouldn’t accept food that was sat waiting for half an hour cold before a delivery driver was assigned!

This shop is recently renovated and it’s my first visit after they reopened. The staff and chefs are Chinese so I ordered chow mien, and I was not disappointed. Piping hot rice vermicelli with lots of flavour, and the prawn toasts were crispy. At this price I cannot ask for more. The till lady was friendly and was delighted when she knew I speak Chinese. We chatted a bit while waiting, and it wasn’t long, around 5 minutes my order was ready.

Regular take out for me. Fresh ingredients, prompt service although sometimes there is a queue of Uber eats / Deliveroo ahead of you. Standard Chinese menu, well prepared.

Order yesterday kung po and beef in black pepper sauce and chow mein noodles😋. We asked them to prepare all without any vegetable inside. Thanks GOD they well understood!♥️♥️♥️ First time in UK had finally best Chinese.. We just love it !!! Many thanks 🥰👍🏼 you are amazing

I love the food here and I have been ordering for some time. I have collected recently as I usually do but noticed that the food container was only half full and considering the price per portion I don't find this acceptable. Would love to keep coming here but will change if I get half portions again.

Since the lady has changed in the front they have now a rude guy who takes orders. Used to get a nice service here. Now it’s horrible. Won’t recommend them anymore. Arrogant guy. Get rid of him soon.

A truly wonderful place to eat from, I have tried many Chinese restaurants in Tonbridge but these guys are truly wonderful! The food is so tasty and delicious not greasy or tasteless and the portion sizes are more then fair and very filling Loved all The food and now have found my local Chinese and will Be returning to try more different dishes ! Well done LOVE EAT I have fallen back in love with Chinese food again If your reading this review do as the great Bruce Lee once said ! Don’t think ! Feel ! So get ordering and enjoy :)

By far the best Chinese I’ve ever had! Everything comes piping hot and fresh! I’d never go anywhere else now Thankyou !!!

Best Chinese takeaway outside China. I really mean that . After going to Lings restaurant in London west end which were one best and first in this country over 50 years ago , The food at Love Eat is equal to that restaurant.

A year after my first my review Have to say the food is still first class Picked up a take away yesterday and it was excellent Looking over the reviews sadly 3 of 4 neg reviews came from individuals who had issues with delivery Love eat keep up the good work

Abit pricey but good quality food and very fresh tasting 👍

Absolutely blown away so very amazing . Thank you 😊

Have used this takeaway a couple of times previously since it was fully refurbished. Very clean and hygenic. The food has been very good, but today, I ordered chicken satay which I had expected to be in peanut sauce as is very common with Chinese and Indonesian foods, this time it was not in peanut sauce and the chicken tasted rather rubbery, only with some vegetables. Extremely disappointed and raised my concerns with them over the phone but unfortunately they were not apologetic only to say that if we want peanut sauce, we should have gone for the skewer under the starters whereas the main dish do not have that sauce. Told them that we were not satisfied and explained that other Chinese takeaways did have peanut sauce, then was told that they have customers waiting and the phone was put down! What kind of customer service is that?! Definitely won't go there again. By the way, I wonder why they won't take cards and its cash only compare to other takeaways within the vicinity? May be its some kind of tax avoidance?

Only take cash which I can understand the Spring rolls bland the hot sour soup disgusting Stay away

The staff were very friendly and accommodating to the problems we had with card payment, and the food was superb. Highly recommend the spring rolls as a starter.

Had a wonderful Chinese takeaway with my family yesterday. We are not local and the food was the best we've tasted in a long time. Can't wait to visit the family again.

Amazing! The food is very tasty. The prices are more than fair. You barely have to wait 5-10 min to get your order. Everything is pristine. The design of the place is neat and luminous. You can order online and pay with card or go there and pay with cash. If you "Like" them in Facebook and messenger them, you'll get a £50 voucher to spend in £5 x 10 times when you order >£25. I am addicted to the spring rolls (4x£2.80) and to all the fried rices. I am still having lots to try, because the menu is very extensive... But I am willing to! I totally recommend it! 😊

Good food. Good value. Sizeable portions. Non greasy - good flavours. Veg Spring rolls weren’t great (tasted like they were from Iceland - hope these will be ‘home made’ in the future). I also like that you can see the kitchen on collection - very clean!

Amazingly great food, easily the best in Tonbridge now and I’ve tried them all many times. We’ll never get a Chinese meal anywhere else now. Well done 👏🏻 to LoveEat. Super friendly staff too.

I’ve been searching for a decent Chinese in Tonbridge since moving here a year ago. This place is my current favourite! The food is dlcious and isn’t greasy as some places can be.

Tried for the first time, food was ok, most importantly no free prawn crackers, which seems to be standard on big orders

We had such a lovely takeaway here. It was the first time I had been here and it was absolutely amazing! The king prawn chow mein I had and the spring rolls were really yummy. The others really enjoyed the crispy shredded beef! Thank you so much for a great takeaway. I will definitely be back!

I really like the food, crispy chilli beef is actually crispy and the food tastes fresh. First time we ordered it was fantastic and quick. This time we waited 90 mins after the scheduled delivery time for it to arrive, after 2 phone calls. Felt sorry for the delivery lady who had been moaned at all evening by all accounts. Surely there are enough drivers out there in this lockdown time!? No excuse and won’t be ordering again unfortunately. No point in ringing to complain, they have the money already....

Been twice now and the food has been amazing! Great flavours and a descent price! Will definitely be going again! Thanks! 😁😁

Ordered the Japanese teriyaki chicken and crispy spring rolls. Could honestly say the best teriyaki chicken I’ve ever had. Arrived still very hot, presentable and portion sizes were very good. Definitely would order from here again.

Really nice food.inside the takeaway is very clean and hygienic. staff are friendly and helpful thanks

Best Chinese in Tonbridge by far! The food is full of flavour and not salty or greasy which always puts me off a Chinese take away. Good quality ingredients especially the king prawn dishes.

Definitely a step up from your run of the mill Chinese takeaway, their Teriyaki chicken, for example, is light years ahead of what people like Waggamama's try to pass off.

Ordered meal for New Years Eve. not delivered on time even allowing for them being busy. telephoned and told busy and further delay. did not arrive. telephoned again. told not even started order-nearly 2 and a half hours later. said they were overwhelmed. Disorganised is the word. Food arrived eventually, very very late. lukewarm and most of it disgusting. Rice dish was fine. sweet/sour chicken, oily sauce and no real taste. chow mein -refused to eat, seemed like reheated. The worse I have eaten. so disappointed. A rubbish end to a rubbish year.

Food was delivered late, when it finally arrived, the food was luke warm. Flavours were hit and miss, didn't taste very good. Would not recommend going here. Still looking for a good chinese in Tonbridge!

Best Chinese take away I’ve ever had, food was fresh, light, non greasy & delicious. A great meal!!!

Yuk, yuk, yuk!!! Don't bother ordering here unless you like oil and grease and lots of it!!! Very disappointed after hearing such good things about this place.

Got back late from an event so decided to order from here instead of cook. Love Eat is open until 11pm most days by the looks of it so it was one of the few options available that late. Food arrived very quickly. Normally when a restaurant says something is spicy I take it with a pinch of salt, however the salt and pepper squid actually delivers on the spice level and it was slightly too much for my partner to handle! Luckily I like a bit of heat so I got the rest of hers. Not too expensive for what you get, and the food is pretty tasty. Would order from here again.

Best chinese takeaway in tonbridge And I have visited a few over the last 6 years The quality was good and the prices reasonable

Very nice , tried this when it first opened and subsequently ordered from here lots of times . Really is a cut above any other takeaway in the area .

Best Chinese I've had in Tonbridge for a long time. Fresh flavours and delivered super quick. Will be ordering again!

The best chinese take away I have ever had. Was reluctant to steer away from my usual but this was faultless. Definitely worth a try!

Ordered 4 times from here. Can not fault the food.

Food arrived stone cold and found that there was in a vegetarian dish.

Food was delivered 20 minutes early. First time trying this place and definitely be ordering again! Food was absolutely lovely! Well done, 👌

We orders last night amazing food best quality Chinese we have had in years

There is room for improvement. I’ve ordered some Kung Po chicken and the sauce was so sweet that I could not eat it! The egg fried rice was good though. The staff is nice so all this considered and the fact that this was the first time I ordered from them, I will give them a second chance.

Amazing food probably the best Chinese takeaway we have had for a long time can't wait to have it again.
