Bring back the old owners! Food Is terrible. They were supposed to continue with the old owners recipes etc, which were in place from 1976. Got a beef & tomato tonight, could bounce the beef off the wall, and you know that smell you get off beef when it first starts to cook, I think it's the smell of the blood cooking, that's what the beef smelled and tasted like, either that or the beef had turned. Been trying my best to give the new owners a chance...but it's honestly rotten. Live a 3 min walk from here, but will be going elsewhere.Dont order and expect the same as it was for years, nothing like the old Marlboro!

I ordered some chicken balls and a portion of salt and chilli chips. The chicken balls are smaller than other Chinese restaurants and that is what makes them the best I've tried. Tender chicken with a crisp batter but not to doughy like the larger chicken balls. The salt and chilli chips were great too , nice and crisp with plenty of flavour but not too spicy. I was very impressed and will definitely be ordering again

I believe that if a takeaway can withstand the test of time then it must be doing something right… oldest family run Chinese takeaway in East Kilbride, if I’m not mistaken… and there is just something authentic about this place that no other can produce, I would go as far as saying it’s the best takeaway in Scotland

My first complaint is that they do not accept card payments. Ridiculous in this day and age. It won’t be a worry in future as I would not order from here again. The chicken curry was bland. Sauce watery, like something you would cook at home. Spiced chicken balls small and bland. I was charged £3.70 for a portion of salt and chilli chips which were reheats. They don’t even give complimentary crackers. Far better Chinese takeaways out there.

Have used numerous times in the past 50 years without a problem, but recently in the past couple of months have received substandard food of poor quality. Chicken curry had lots of gristle, ( poor cuts ). My wife had king prawn curry. Prawns were soggy, suggesting frozen and had been lying for some time. Recent order of sweet and sour chicken was dire. Chicken balls were a lot smaller than I remember, (size of large marbles ) ,suggesting they’ve been sourced from Iceland or suchlike. Poor quality indeed. Won’t be back!

I parked at the rear of a sad, unkempt shopping square that the sat nav had brought me to as a result of a TripAdvisor recommendation. It was gloomy with many closed shop shutters. One of the few businesses in operation was the Marlborough Chinese takeaway. What a find! Friendly staff, great service.......and the food......fantastic! Never believe your first impressions - this top drawer Asian cuisine. No need to closely describe each dish - it really was that good!

Nunca pensé que vería el día cuando revisé Marlboro en nada menos que 5 estrellas, pero después de dos Sábados concurrentes, donde hay errores/problemas ha sido con mi pedido, ese día ha llegado.Sábado 9 de junio, yo voy a Marlboro y veo que hay una nueva chica que trabaja el contador. Me place mi orden habitual de pechuga de pollo al curry, arroz frito, galletas saladas grandes gambas, tortilla sencilla y una gran salsa de curry. Los dos hermanos pequeños que normalmente lo llevan, sé cuando digo grande salsa de curry para ponerla en un recipiente largo de aluminio.Cuando llegué a la casa de comidas, todo perfecto excepto la salsa curry extra larga en un tazón de sopa de poliestireno. Significaba que había salsa para chapuzón mi pan de gambas.La última noche, el sábado 16 de junio me llega hasta el Marlboro de nuevo. La misma mujer que está trabajando el contador. A mi conocimiento que es sólo la vieron por primera vez la semana anterior.Me place el mismo orden, esta vez el gran emphasing salsa curry es ir a la larga contenedor de aluminio. 15 libras. 30 nos dice. Me preguntan si es correcto, sí es correcto.Mi comida y caminar hasta el coche, decidí guardar la tremenda decepción de la semana pasada. Sí, lo habéis adivinado. Tres contenedores de aluminio cuando debería ser 4.Volver a la Marlboro voy a decir que he olvidado algo de mi orden. Comprobamos y diciendo lo que pedí, la nueva señora dice, "ah, nunca me cobraron por el curry salsa". Otra Señora dice bien si es en el largo contenedor de aluminio es de £4. 50. £4. Salsa curry sólo por 50. Pagué como quería disfrutar mi comida pero al llegar a casa el menú última conseguí de Marlboro dice que se puede conseguir una pechuga de pollo al curry y arroz frito por £6. 30 Así £4. 50 se siente como se dejó un buen cliente que es a veces dos veces a la semana.Errores de dos semanas en la última noche spin, para mi el orden habitual he pagado £19. 80. Ese es el más dinero para comida para llevar china con la misma orden que he pasado en East Kilbride.Decepcionados por Marlboro para últimas dos semanas, pero no en la calidad de la comida. Errores y justo en el Crazy. preciosVisto por mi anterior 5 * comentarios, me encanta el Marlboro y es curry salsa, pero anoche me ha visto a mí evaluar si que alguna vez regrese.

I ordered bbq pork curry with fried rice and prawn crackers and a portion of Singapore style vermicelli. It was amazing, just as it used to be. With a unique curry sauce I've never tasted anything close to from anywhere else. Has a great taste and spice to it. Meat was nice and succulent this time and the noodles really spicy as well. Loved it. Still the best in EK.

This is my favourite Chinese in East Kilbride and I order from here regularly but tonight's order was dreadful. Ordered Singapore style vermicelli, bbq pork curry with fried rice and prawn crackers and a bottle of coke. No prawn crackers but I was willing to overlook this as the food is usually delicious. The vermicelli was 3 quarters full if that and the bbq pork was as tough as leather. Some of it was inedible. I called them to discuss and the woman said she didn't write down prawn crackers and that's why I didn't get any. She did offer another curry of my choice but I didn't bother. Everybody has an off night so I'd order from them again but I was so disappointed tonight as this is my go to for a hangover munch. Will review again after next order to see if their game is back up to scratch

Absolutely worst lazy-cooked Chinese food I’ve ever tasted. Sweet and sour sauce was the consistency of water and tasteless, salt and chilli chips just like oven chips with a few RAW onions and peppers thrown in. Rice and noodles totally bland. Icing on the cake is that’s it’s a ‘cash only’ joint. Will not be back and if it were possible I’d request a refund.

They've changed the satay sauce recipe by adding curry to it. It now basically tastes like a run of the mill curry sauce to the point you couldn't tell the difference between chicken satay and chicken curry. Shame really as it's one of the better takeaways in Carluke but I'll need to look elsewhere now as I don't like the taste of their new satay dishes.
