May Hong Chop Suey House in Sunderland

Fabulous value and service, huge portions

Nice return to "Michael's" and nice to see that it is still as good as ever. Now a third generation business; it's actually better, as they now take card payments. They just need to start doing deliveries and get on Just Eat, for total convenience. Then I can just sit at home and Don't have to start the car up. Prices reasonable, food absolutely delicious and most plentiful. It is always good to see consistency being maintained.

This is a "take away" not a "sit down" restaurant BUT is the best take away I've used in a long time. Clean, tidy, efficient staff, excellent food.

Only had curry sauce n chips but chips was hard n sauce was lumpy prefer reds

Just had 3 meals from here..shocked how it's changed. Special curry used to have loads of meat in..now 3 scrap bits..but bulked out with onions and bamboo stripes...when mick ran it..it was fantastic...sadly it's terrible now..avoid

I have been brought up in Chinese takeaways since I was 12 years old and this place is amazing. I just recently discovered I live 10 minutes away. The BBQ ribs sauce is one of the best I've tasted and that's including the ones in Chinatown too. The salt and chilli chips are amazing. My partner had the chicken and ginger and that tasted great too. I had the house special fried rice and I was shocked at the size of the king prawns. They pretty much use the biggest grade king prawn. Used to work in Chinese takeaways and you can tell this place is authentic and has a lot of history in their cooking. Love chinese takeaway food still, wouldn't want to work in them ever again haha.

Went here 2nite and was supposed to get free chips with the black bean. I didn’t realise when paying…but later realised i got charged for the chips.this happened the other week with paying the difference for salt n pepper chips, they just charged me for a whole new one. I have been a loyal customer here for months now and would have never thought they would try and bump me. Should have known…no matter how sound they seem…all these people want is money! Not be back!

Great place we order from there at least once a week, always quality food and very tasty. I strongly disagree with the negative comments on here and the chips are always properly cooked. 😀😀😀

Lovely food and brilliant service

Best Chinese take away in the North East!!! Without doubt…. Go check it out for yourself. Recommend - Special Chow Maine, Rice and Curry Sauce

The beef was so tough inedible. Will not go back, waste of money went in the bin. Fried rice ok not great though. Sauce ok.

Best Chinese takeaway around, great food, friendly service and in nearly 40 years of using this chinese never had an issue.

The food is outstanding. We had a family meal last week, mixed meat chow main, WOW, salt and pepper chicken, WOW, house special curry WOW. Been here a few times and would not go anywhere else now.

It is good to see that they are back at the top of the tree. The food that we had was absolutely superb and the portion sizes were enormous. The prices were towards the higher side but worth it for the quality of the end product. Great for a treat, every now and again.

Been, going for years, never again charging on Christmas eve 2/3 hour's before before food due and not getting order, never order from these cheap scum again.

Really good Chinese food at good prices. They've been around for many many years and the reputation is well deserved. Good range of dishes & banquet options. Didn't used to deliver but think they now do which is a bonus. Even if not never had to wait more than 30 minutes to collect an order. It does get very busy though so stick with it if you can't get through straight away.

Beef curry with chips , curry nothing special and chips warmed up from day before , stay well clear of this place , my pal ordered takeaway , arrived 2 hours later cold !

Use better quality ingredients to make better food than most Chinese takeaway. Would recommend and will use again

Best Chinese food in Washington, tried a few others on a Tuesday when they are closed, but nothing compares to May Hong

I ordered a king prawn curry and was all onion and counted about 5 king prawns and Def not worth the £7 plus. Don't think I will be going back their.

Still good food and reasonably priced but the portion size seems to be smaller, than it used to be when Michael was alive. There are also other competitors, who now provide food of equal quality. Whilst there will always be a regular clientele, it is important to maintain standards. Where it was once "the best," it is now only one of the best.

First but definitely not the last time we have have had a takeaway from here. We ordered a couple of meals to collected, everything was as we ordered and the food was spot on, I would highly recommend this takeaway,

Great food at great prices wouldn’t dream of going to any other Chinese. The Singapore Noodles are my favourite and the Szechuan crispy chicken is a close second

Food always great , we have been going for years

Great takeaway . The food is always a good standard and plentiful . One of the busiest takeaways I have been too . All the classic Chinese dishes you would want and more

Just bought a couple of meals from here tonight and so disappointed that I felt I had to leave a review because it has been the same on the last couple of occasions. The salt n pepper chilli chicken is not fresh, the batter is over cooked and is separated from the chicken, it’s also very brown in colour and greasy therefore I think it probably needs fresh oil - the chicken is either reheated or old because it is brown in colour and very tough and not really edible because it’s so hard to chew. I use May Hong takeaway regularly but afraid it’s not a nice meal anymore which I’m sad to say as I’ve bought from here for years. I have mentioned this to them before and it improved when I collected but seems to just go back to selling it like this. I don’t feel I should have to keep mentioning it Hope they take this onboard as they are nice people but feel they’ve become complacent. I don’t know if anyone else has experienced this.

If visiting Washington the best Chinese takeaway is most definitely May Hong. Our family have used this takeaway since we were children at school for our lunches, and continue to do so. Definitely 5*

The best Chinese take away in Washington by a country mile. I would recommend the Singapore chow mein if you want something with a little kick...beautiful

Absolutely amazing food and great service! Never had a nicer meal and well worth the money ..I can't recommend this place enough! Just delicious

Great food and great staff! Brilliant!

My local Chinese 😁 reasonable prices & food really nice 😁

Primera visita encontrada a través del Trip Advisor. Llamado por teléfono y toda la recepción muy amable. Fuimos a recoger y era como una estación central llena de gente esperando recoger o simplemente llegar; una buena señal como tan ocupado! La comida tardó 40 minutos, pero bien vale la pena la esperaMarca de sopa de pollo y maíz dulceGalletas de gambas ticSeñal de pato crujienteCarne picada en garrapata cantonesaMarcador de pollo con sal y pimienta de chilePollo agridulce, no tan bueno, muy pastoso y demasiado rebozado.En general, muy bueno  41 para 4 x adultos y había comida de sobra

Take away is amazing, lovely food all the time, lads who are always in are lovely as well. Received the wrong order a few times (incorrect sauce) and has always been replaced without a problem!

Been eating here since I was about 1, I am 24 now and no other Chinese comes close. Can't fault the staff or the food, it's the only Chinese that doesn't deliver but they don't need to. Consistently amazing food. Would never go anywhere else.

Aunque vivimos algunas para llevar a 9 millas del este, y hay muchos mucho más cerca de donde vivimos, la comida para llevar en este siempre consistentemente bueno. Es una buena idea llamar a su orden, especialmente en una noche de sábado, cuando a veces las colas son largas. La carne Curry es muy especial, y vale la pena viajar por la 18 millas. Dos platos principales con arroz, y pan de gambas que te costará alrededor de £13. 00. que es comparable con las comidas similares de otros para llevar chino.

Really tasty curry at micks never dissapoints quick service nice staff will defo be back thanks again

Working in the area for the last 6 weeks, and staying at the holiday inn near by. been to May Hong take away so many times. Can not fault the place, superb food and friendly owner... only found it thanks to other great reviews 10/10

been using may hong (micheals) all my life his gravy was the best, recently the gravy is not so good but they still do great food

a good little chinese takeaway, the normal chinese menu as you would expect from a takeaway. probably the best chinese takeaway in washington

Great food and always great service, the salt and chilli ribs are amazing and I would always recommend the curry, if you like a hotter curry just ask and they will spice it up for you. Mouth is watering just writing this review.

Awful food wouldn't recommend to anyone!

This is by far the best Chinese in Washington The fact they don't delivery doesn't put us off. The food is always fresh and tasty.

We've been a customer for a very long time. Have tried other Chinese takeaways but always go back to May Hong. I would highly recommend anyone to try it, you won't go anywhere else after!

Take away for the night and food was excellent and service was quick can't fault this family run business would recommend to anyone.

the best in Washington! , im a regular visitor ..everything cooked spot on ,piping hot generous portions ,,reasonable prices,

Been a customer for 26 years and know the family, all dishes are of the highest quality and excellent portions, unfortunately over the last few weeks the quality has gone down hill for some reason? Nevertheless it's still the best in Washington by a country mile.

Been using this takeaway for Chinese for over 30 year. Not once have I or the family had any problems. Food is of the highest quality. Prices are within line with all other places. Lovely family takeaway

Best Chinese takeaway in Washington without a doubt. Never had a bad takeaway, good portion sizes and not too expensive.

We've been customers for years but since Michael has had to take a back seat it has never been the same. Today was the final straw: order was wrong, chips cold, noodles congealed and Cantonese sauce bland and too funny. Sorry Michael we will be taking our custom elsewhere from now on

Had food from may Hong many many times never dissapointed had visitors who did not have a good Chinese takeaway where they live so they where very impressed with may hong

Delicious food. Massive portions. Great value.Salt and pepper ribs are as good as any I've had elsewhere.

I get food from here usually on a weekly basis it is or has been the undoubted best chinese I have ever had. However this trip was no way up to standard. The chips were definitely not fresh the chow mein was disgusting. Will try again but have been so disappointed

Would never ever go to any other Chinese takeaway! Been going since I was a teenager and living at home with parents and couldn't recommend it enough. Although the prices are slightly high, they are all worth it once your takeaway is there!!

This is the best Chinese Take away anywhere! We've tried loads and the food here is spot on, fresh, tasty and really good portions. Scrumptious!

We have used other take away firms in Washington in the past only because they deliver, and we always end up being disappointed a nod wished we had jumped in the car to pick up from May Hong.They are simply unbeatable in the area only wished they delivered.

This is he best chinese takeaway!We only go here, even though they don't deliver it doesn't bother us as it so good! I normally ring my order in and pick it up and there's never any waiting. Favorites: salt and pepper chicken and kung po chicken

Wouldn't go anywhere else for a Chinese takeaway. There's a reason micheal has been serving Washington over 30 years. Would be even better if they delivered! Favourite: salt and pepper chicken, fried rice, curry sauce and chips!!

Fairly priced, with nice staff, but not very varied when compared to other Chinese take outs in Washington, in other words it's quite generic, but very tasty

Have used this takeaway many times, we travel from Great Lumley near Chester-le-Street,,as we think it is one of the best take-aways around. Always busy and best to ring in with your order . There is a massive menu to choose from.

May Hong which is colloquially known as Michael's, after it's owner; has been serving the people of Washington for over 30 years. During that time, standards have remained consistently high. This is evident by the fact that the place is packed every night. If you want food at peak times, it is better to phone in your order. Usual waiting time is 15-20 minutes. Things generally quieten down as the night goes on. Not everything is perfect but most of the main meals are delicious.I believe Michael suffered a stroke last year, which was obviously a set back. He now makes infrequent appearances but it is nice to see him on the mend. However, things still run like clockwork in the capable hands of his younger family members. May Hong is closed all day on a Tuesday. Lunchtime opening is 11.30 a.m. -1.00 p.m., Mon, Wed, Thur, Fri & Sat. Evening opening is 5.30 p.m. - 10.30 p.m., Mon & Wed and 5.30 p.m. - 11.00 p.m., Thur, Fri & Sat.Sunday opening is 6.00 p.m. to 11.00 p.m.May Hong operates a cash only policy and does not have a delivery service.

Used to go here all the time and the gravy always had a taste that I couldn't work out why but it was horrible. Recently it is the most beautiful chinese take away (bar michaels, may hong) would definitely go here again. Food is lovely.

Having going to may Hong (Michaels) for years but think after today it will be the last time, food has gone downhill a lot since michael started taking a back seat, using frozen or tinned veg instead of fresh, fried rice was clumpy sticky and greasy,szechuan sauce is totally different to what it used to be and very bland.Sorry michael but I won't be back.

We have been using May Hong for years and is the only one we use as it's the best. It's best to phone your order in as it gets really busy.

We've tried many of the dishes from the extensive menu on offer and have never been disappointed by the quality of the food. Excellent range of meals, first-class service, and very good value. One of our favourites!

Went here on the recommendation of my girlfriend and have not been back to another takeaway since.We travel here from Chester Le Street. The food is always still piping hot & tastes great. It doesn't have that film of grease you often get when you take the lid off the container.Definitely worth the trip out for.

This has always produced the best Chinese/Catonese/Oriental take aways for over 20 years. Great staff, very professional, never made a mistake in my time. No deliveries but worth the journey.
