Being coeliac it’s hard to find good take away options. This is the second time we’ve been to Marchee wok and it’s delicious. Definitely worth the 40 minute drive !!

Gluten free heaven! This has been our go to for years, and when my partner became coeliac we were blessed that they did gluten free. They make everything gluten free for us and it always tastes fresh and delicious!

‘Chinese’ & ‘Gluten-free’ rarely appear in the same description, so with my wife being a Chinese takeaway loving coeliac, I was excited to see one in my hometown Leicester. I’m not coeliac, but the takeaway still goes near the top of my list. Fabulous food, & fabulous service.

Really lovely food and great service. I phoned to make an order before they opened and they phoned me back when they missed the call. I’m coeliac so to have gluten free Chinese food & it be of such quality is amazing. Any other gf people know Chinese is usually out of the question.

Really delicious Chinese takeaway with so many gluten free options. Gluten free dishes come marked as such, and we have had no problems with our orders. The food order is ready quickly as well. Would definitely recommend going here if you can’t eat gluten and have missed a Chinese takeaway.

This place has such a big variety of gluten free dishes, it definitely made my partner happy to finally be able to have a Chinese again. All the food was delicious, and it was ready quickly. The staff were reassuring about the gluten free dishes, and the boxes were marked as gluten free. If you need a gluten free diet, and you are in Leicester then definitely visit here, if only for the gluten free chicken balls!

The friendliest and most helpful people ever! I'm a coeliac and my special dietary needs are catered for, literally, with the upmost care, knowledge and experience. Very careful labeling (GF labels) of various dishes when ordering for multiple people. And the food quality is absolutely second-to-none. I just wish I knew about Marchee Wok years ago.

Marchee Wok has become my go-to Chinese takeaway for so many reasons! From the moment I place my order, the customer service is always friendly and accommodating. They truly understand their customers' needs and preferences. Not only is the food delicious, but it's also consistently fresh and flavorful, exceeding my expectations every time. Plus, their prices are incredibly reasonable compared to other options in the area. Whether I'm in the mood for classic dishes or craving something new, Marchee Wok never disappoints. I highly recommend giving them a try for your next Chinese takeaway experience!

We heard about this place on Tiktok and were delighted that we were able to order a lot of the options to come gluten free. We live in Earl Shilton, where GF Chinese take-way is not possible so this was a real treat. It took us 26min to get there but was well worth the journey! When we came in we where instantly drawn to the signs saying they could accommodate GF/coeliac customers but we were concerned it could be too good to be true, after only recently being glutened and being made sick by a supposedly safe restaurant so we were a little wary to say the least. There are lots of options on the menu and surprisingly, the majority can be made gf to order except, I believe; some of the appetisers, the spare ribs, prawn crackers and the dumplings. When we spoke to the staff we were happy to hear that they were confident in what they were serving and were also very welcoming as well. In fact, another GF customer was leaving as we entered and gave them a glowing review , saying they go there every fortnight, which made us feel way more at ease. The lady on the desk serving us really seemed to know her stuff informing us they have a separate fryer for GF items. She also put a GF sticker on the piece of paper she wrote our order on, as well as each GF item she brought out to us once it was cooked. The icing on the cake was that the chef personally spoke us through each item. We ordered: .chips .chicken balls with sweet n' sour sauce .chicken curry .shanghai dumplings (not GF)- packaged separately .egg fried rice . and were provided with 2 bags of free prawn crackers (not GF)- packaged separately When we got in the car we were eager to know what it tasted like, so didn't even wait until we got home to sneak one chicken ball each and this was a yummy appetiser for what was to come. The chicken balls were lovely and not greasy, unlike most Chinese appetisers from different places. My 10 year old daughter's (who is not a coeliac) personal favourite was the dumplings which she rated a 9.5 out of 10. My 7 year old coeliac daughter and myself both rated the chicken balls the highest. The chips were so nice we just wished we had had a bigger portion as they were so good and we found they went well with the sweet n' sour sauce. The chicken curry was a little spicy but also had a tang of sweetness to it and our noses were certainly running after. The egg fried rice was what we expected and enjoyable enough, same with the prawn crackers. The best part was we suffered no ill effects the day after which was so reassuring and so we would feel safe making a return visit. Great Job!! We will definitely be making this a regular trip now!! I would absolutely recommend this place to anybody with allergens e.g GFCoeliac. Keep up the good work!!

This is my absolutely favourite Chinese takeaway ever!! The whole team are friendly and extremely welcoming. Any coeliacs out there missing Chinese this is your place! The owner’s daughter is coeliac so they 100% make sure everything is safe to eat, just order as gf we also ask for garlic free too in as much as possible. FYI the gf dishes all have stickers on them for clarity too. Tonight we ordered crispy chilli beef, sweet & sour chicken Cantonese style, chicken vermicelli noodles, egg fried rice and curry sauce all gf, my family that aren’t gf also ordered more dishes too. The food is always so fresh and delicious, chef is always working on gf alternatives where needed and they now offer gf curry, I can highly recommend this, it’s amazing! Many of there customers travel just as we do just to be able to eat Chinese takeaway that’s gf 🩷 Follow them on facebooks to see how amazing the food looks.

I got diagnosed as coeliac a year ago and didn’t think I’d be able to enjoy a Chinese takeaway again. I read the reviews about the gluten free options and was intrigued whether there were only limited things I would be able to have. Upon calling, I was shocked to find out that everything I wanted to order could be made gluten free! The owners are such lovely people and so accommodating and the food was absolutely wonderful. So tasty and fresh! Would 100% recommend to anyone, especially if you’re gluten free.

My daughter has been diagnosed coeliac for a year, this is the first time she's been able to have a proper Chinese takeaway. She ordered crispy shredded beef, beef in black bean sauce, sweet and sour chicken balls, chicken with cashew nuts, beef chow mein with vermicelli noodles and egg fried rice. The first wonderful thing was the man on the phone taking her order, he was very friendly and accommodating, explaining which dishes could be made gluten free (all that she ordered) and advising how long her order would take (30mins) Upon collection the staff were lovely friendly people, all gluten free dishes have a little sticker on to let you know they're gluten free. The owner explained that their daughter is coeliac and they've developed their food for that reason. The food itself is delicious!!, piping hot even after a 20 minute drive, delicious flavours and cooked to perfection. The lady makes her own chilli oil which is fabulous!! I can't praise this restaurant enough, from start to finish a wonderful dining experience especially for gluten free/coeliacs who often miss out on certain cuisines. Thank you so much Marchee Wok!!

I haven't used Marchee Wok for a long time. Went in as a 'walk in' tonight and ordered sweet and sour chicken Cantonese style and fried rice. On the menu it states 'breast of chicken' and of the seven pieces I had tonight, 4 of them definitely were not breast and too chewy to be edible. Such a shame because for a long time it was the 'go to' take away. Praps complacent?

Amazing gluten-free Chinese! My wife is vegetarian and a coeliac sufferer. She hasn't had some of her favourite dishes since she has been diagnosed. We ordered from Marchee Wok a few days ago and wanted to ensure she didn't have a reaction to the food before posting. Food was delicious and we've had no issues! Our favourites were the hot and sour soup, salt and chilli bean curd, and Singapore vermicelli, which are some of the best we've had in years. Will be visiting again for those alone. Loved it!

Great flavors unique to this restaurant. Been order from them for a couple of years now. They can get busy, but that's a good thing! Regardless, they are punctual with time most of the time, but plan carefully. Personally, it is one of the better East asian Western cuisines in Leicester. You know what you get here, but with a bit more care in flavoring. They cater for ceolic or gluten-free with care. Great place to order from!!! The only issue is parking is on the street and it's small, busy, and limited parking spaces, so again, plan carefully.

Like similar reviews on here, I am Coeliac and found this Chinese through the gluten free online community and drove 15 miles to get it! It was AMAZING and worth the travel. There is 1 Chinese local to me that offers gluten free but only a handful of dishes, whereas this place can do almost anything! I had prawn fried rice and crispy chicken in sweet chilli sauce. I will be back that's for sure. The lady was so lovely too :)

Gluten free chinese take away is possible!! First Chinese take away since being diagnosed with ceoliac disease 9 months ago, and I'm so happy! After hearing about this place through the gluten free community, I drove half an hour there and half an hour home again, just for a chinese take away.. and I will do it again and again if it means I can have a proper chinese! Called the restaurant, they didn't have a gluten free menu, but assured me most things can be made gluten free and to just let them know what I wanted and they would let me know if it's possible. So I went with my good old favourites from before diagnosis, beef and mushrooms, chicken chow mein and battered chicken balls... they assured me they could make all 3 gluten free, with gluten free noodles, gluten free batter and that they prevent contamination as his daughter is ceoliac. I skipped and jumped into my car, drove to collect it. All of my dishes had a little gluten free sticker on, then they wrapped the whole order in tin foil to keep it warm for the drive home. Snook a few chicken balls through the packaging on the car ride home, and the rest was still warm enough when I got home, no need to reheat! It all tasted better than I remember, they will be seeing me again soon! And the best of all, no bad reactions, so they are true to their word about preventing contamination as less than a breadcrumb of gluten can leave me in agony! Travel the distance, you won't regret it.

6.24 pm August 11th my first experience was with the man that took my takeaway order he got impatient when I queried the price as mine was different from his he was very abrupt and asked do you want to ordered or not ! The order arrived in less than a half an hour we live 7 to 10 minutes away from the shop it made us wonder was it freshly cooked Well surprise surprise it wasn’t battered chicken balls were well overcooked some were black ! and dry as a bone ! The fillet steak was very over cooked and dry funny that as it was supposed to be freshly cooked ! My husband took the food back and was told it was perfect and they never have complaints they offered to give us a £10 voucher My husband was shocked at the attitude of the owner it won’t mean anything to them but we paid to SumUp *Sumup £37.40 and we were still hungry So never again Marchee Wok Allendale. Rd Leicester . ps. It would be nice if you donated the £10 you offered us to a homeless charity P Wall.

We've been using this takeaway for years and years. It's over-priced but so convenient as we live not too far away. However over those years we've experienced rudeness from the brat that answers the phone on a few occasions but let it go. She's been rude to me for the last time - we will never be using this place again. She has no customer service skills at all - the reviews for her nail business bear this out too. Never again - get some training for goodness sake or get someone else answering the phone.

By far one of the best places I've had a takeaway Chinese from, and I've lived in Nottingham, Derby and Leicester! Food was made fast and was very tasty! My girlfriend being gluten free they took extra care when making and we could hear them all relaying information about gluten free orders regularly which was very reassuring. Highly recommend if you are gluten free. All staff members were very friendly and they understand the stress of being gluten free as some members are gluten free. So it was very nice seeing a food business taking great care cooking food to a high standard too. When I'm passing through Leicester again I'd definitely pop back in and order again.

Recommended by a fellow coeliac and absolutely perfect. Everything was delicious but our favourite was crispy chicken and peking sauce. Felt very understood and looked after - the lady taking the order (who I think was daughter of the chef/owner) is coeliac herself and every dish I could eat was marked clearly with a gluten free sticker. Gf dishes are an additional 70p each. My only small gripe was that the menu isn't marked as to which dishes are available gf, but to be fair they could do pretty much the whole menu so 🤷‍♀️. If I were them I'd advertise the gf availability much more widely (website and Facebook), though they certainly weren't short of customers!

My husband collected the food and he told me the owner came out and was completely different, nice tone & manner apologizing for the rude service -recommending dishes but also making several excuses as to why this happened. We ordered Thai style tom yam soup, Spicy squid. King prawn in BB sauce and Pork XO-food was really delicious and great portion size. Reading reviews it seems there is often a rude person answering the phone -can lose custom here as allot of customers will go elsewhere as we nearly did, but food was great overall

Getting worse as time goes on. Won't use again. Telephone manner is grumpy. You have to give ridiculously intricate directions and repeat yourself endlessly. Ordered egg fried rice - got two lots of sesame prawn toast. Waited nearly 1hr (told 30 mins). Response from the owner below (now changed but I have evidence of the change) only publicly confirms the ungrammatical grumpiness to which I was subjected on the phone, not understanding that I simply didn’t get what I ordered (forget the price difference in my favour, ‘mate’ - there’s only so much sesame prawn toast one can eat). All this despite me being, for a time, a genuine customer. It’s a shame that the delivery person wasn’t on their bike on the day of my last order! (N.B. This middle paragraph was an edit in response to the owner’s rude response, which I’m not taking down even if the new owner’s response below reads much more professionally.) Update: 0 stars (if I could!) because of the attempt at gaslighting me. The owner has since deleted their rude response (of which I took a screenshot before so unlucky - available to anyone who wants a copy of their then poor customer service), which I then criticised in my edited response, above (middle paragraph). To the owner - this was a long time ago. I haven’t used your services for a long time. For obvious reasons. Only saw the previous owner’s rude response recently and replied to that. Proving that I don’t have time on my hands to write fake reviews...

An absolute disaster of a takeaway for New Year’s Eve. Having waited 2.5 hours for dinner to arrive, as you can imagine, we were more than looking forward to tucking in to dinner. Starters were Yuk Sung and a quarter duck and the quality of the starters set the tone for the entire meal - complete disaster! Having been regulars here for many years we are more than familiar with the usual standard and the quality of the food was dire. The yuk sung was cold and the duck was absolutely awful. Not only had the duck been pre-shredded, the crispy duck was the furthest thing possible from being crispy. It was instead fatty with absolutely no taste of flavour. The accompanying pancakes were a congealed mess and again stone cold! The mains also left a lot to be desired and having been utterly appalled by the meal I decided to call Marchee Wok to let them know. The lady on the phone was completely dismissive and explained they ‘other customers complain due to the duck being too crispy and they no longer do crispy duck?!’ - not sure why that wasn’t explained when we ordered or why the item hasn’t then be removed from the menu. The closing line was that as it was New Year’s Eve the kitchen was busy and made no attempt to address the issues that had been raised. I think it is safe to say we shall be taking our custom elsewhere.

Underwhelming food. Mushroom chow mein was ok. Sichuan tofu and the vegetables in black bean sauce extremely bland.

Food was cold, the duck was dry. I’m not sure if it was a distance thing. Maybe this place is a nice eatery, if you’re more than 10 mins away I wouldn’t recommend this takeaway.

Extremely rude - I called for the first time based on recommendations from family to order from this restaurant and had the most rude and ‘arsy’ comments. For genuinely not being able to understand and having hearing difficulties - I get a rude remark why the squid for be salty (I couldn’t understand if the owner was saying salty or saucy and I didn’t have the menu in front of me.) To simply wanting to know how long 3 dishes would take to cook - and not how long it would take to deliver - I received the utmost rude responses This is not the kind of customer service anyone should receive from a restaurant that should be customer friendly and customer focussed!

Worst chinese if ever had. Sweet and sour chicken with very little chicken with that much batter they taste like pancakes. Beef tough. Very expensive. Won't be returning. Thanks for your response. I think you'll find I did order from you. Chicken fried rice. Beef chowmein. Sweat sour chicken £21.60. 7.30 pick up.

Fresh and tasty vegetarian dishes, always consistently great and a real weekly takeaway treat. They provide generous portions too.

I was going to mark them down because they stopped food deliveries to my part of Leicestershire, but I just can't bring myself to. They are just too good. Honestly, their food is excellent and worth the extra cash (they are a touch more expensive than most other Chinese takeaways). I go and collect myself rather than use any of the other options that are closer, which speaks volumes. The little lady on the desk can come across as being a bit abrasive, but it is just her way and she is actually quite friendly and up for a bit of banter.

We are regular customers here but have found the service has gone downhill since a younger family member seems to have taken over. When calling to order she prioritises laughing with her friends rather than listening to a paying customer and has frequently been rude to both myself and my partner. The lady we used to deal with was amazing. The food is so good but honestly we have to weigh up if it’s worth the hassle of being spoken to like that.

I haven't had Chinese in a while due to having Coeliac Disease and my husband came across this place. Due to a trip to Leicester we took advantage to try it out. The staff were very helpful even though it was very busy, catered to other allergies. The food was absolutely delicious. The only downside was it was very busy and the lady serving us was in between calls as a first time customer it was hard to order not knowing what's gluten free as the menu doesn't specify. Another staff member did come to help which helped the issue. It would be ideal to put GF by dishes on the menu and customers can state if needs to be GF. There's a 50p charge for gluten free items but I'm unsure of why the charge is as other chains advertise gluten free but don't charge extra. There's no labels on the prawn crackers to state if gluten free and I forgot to ask so didn't enjoy that part of the meal. My mum who's never liked any Chinese food she's tried and being vegetarian was converted and enjoyed the meal thoroughly. She was happy to have it again and she even had extras. Overall, fantastic food, service and a great experience. We will definitely be back to try lots more.

Finding this place was like a dream come true!! Looking for a gluten free option (after not having a Chinese in 2 years) and this was the only place we found and I am so happy we did! This is the best Chinese we have had in Leicester! Worth every penny and the 13 mile drive to get it!! We will be back! Thankyou 🥰

Called to place an order for delivery as we were isolating and the member of staff on the phone was very rude and unhelpful. Would not recommend this place. Doesn't matter how good the food is but customer service is also very important. The attitude of the lady on the phone was appalling. We ordered from another place in Oadby who delivered out of their normal area to help us during our isolating period. I will be using them from now on!!!

Brilliant takeaway this weekend! We ordered on Saturday for football, had the family round and the their food was absolute gorgeous! You are our weekly to go takeaway. After having food from your takeaway we can forget about eating out in other Chinese restaurants being in the crowd with others. Thankyou so much x

This has been the worst most expensive Chinese takeawayEXPERIENCE ever. The salt chilli ribs were rock hard and completely inedible. The egg rice had no egg. The vegetarian spring rolls were battered and deep fried....thats a first. The sweet and sour pork was grisly and inedible. Didn't even try the beef curry or chicken chow mein. THIS PLACE SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN AND PROSECUTED.
