Merit Chinese Takeaway in Kingston upon Hull, City of - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Ordered king prawn curry ,chips and prawn crackers . Very nice indeed, fast service, food was hot .. Will be ordering again.

Always great food. Always ready in 10 minutes!

Portion of chips was very small, vegetable spring rolls was over cooked and dark brown. Not a great experience for first visit

Love the food from here , always get plenty , always tastes great shame they don't deliver

Our usual Chinese was closed, so thought we would try this one. We ordered prawn toast, which was lovely, special foo young with fried rice for my partner, he really enjoyed it. I ordered king prawn in oyster sauce with boiled rice. I was really disappointed with the sauce as it just tasted like gravy, it had a ton of onions and Carrot and a decent amount of prawns but that was it. The full tub was mainly gravy and onions.

An absolute farce. Ordered a takeaway on Christmas Eve we was told to collect within an hour. Walked in and asked for payment straight away. Two hours later still stood in the Chinese waiting on food to be prepared. Wouldn’t refund when asked, said they do offer refunds would knock amount of bill next time. Food eventually came no apologies, food wasn’t great cold and greasy. If you’re inundated with orders, which I can appreciate you were with it being Christmas Eve stop taking them. You clearly struggled to fulfil the orders you had and compromised the quality of food & and customer service. I’d of rather had the order cancelled or not accepted then pay for poor quality food and even poorer service.

Waited 45 minutes for meal. Then they gave me cold food. Been using for years. Never Again, Will try chopstick house.

The food here is pretty good we prefer it to some of the other Chinese takeaways in the area.

Just started to visit this Chinese, because others in the area seem to be of less quality these days. Food was very tasty and good price.

Lovely delicious food at a good price

Being going to this take away for years at least once a week as it was the best chinese take away in hull but past couple of times the food has been declining but i thought it was one off. But no!! Ive just got a take away from them and it was absolutely shocking, the chicken tasted off, it had a horrible taste to it, I tried to tell them only to be met with hostility and nastiness.. I won't ever be going back there again and certainly DONT recommend it, choose a different one

Asked for a orange Duck and she said sorry we don't do it. She said how about lemon duck and i asked for sauce separately she said no problem. Got it home and they had given me duck curry. I don't like curry at all. The guy on phone said we don't do lemon duck only curry duck. The girl offered me lemon duck sk j must be a liar. Not happy didn't listen to my order

We have been using this takeaway for many years and all the meals have been of a very good standard especially the special fried rice

Worst place to eat ordered a family meal it was disgusting no taste and the noodles was bland no flaver at all not one of us enjoyed the meal been using this Chinese for years but will define not ever again

Use to be brilliant but really gone downhill DONT listen to orders properly I ask for mild ((I have really bad stomach issues)) for them to make it extra spicy now it’s in the bin, ask for gravy and chips they make curry and chips, ask for boiled rice I got fried (hate fried) going backwards and forwards costing me time & fuel as they don’t deliver Going somewhere else from now on

Horrendous. Had to foo yung back as it was raw and leaked all over my car. And all they could say was sorry. So had to clean my car out. Never use these again

The Curry feels like jelly and tastes dry the chips aren’t even cooked properly and the rice tastes like bum. Don’t know how people can rate this 5 star! It’s awful. Needs closing down

The best special foo Yung I have had in Hull, and quick service.

Great food and nice Friendly staff would recommend to anyone

My favourite Chinese takeaway in Sutton. Fair price and great food! Staff is always nice and very quick. Give it a try, you will love it!

Great service and very tasty food

Great food and friendly service.

Delicious food and lovely staff

Not had better from a takeaway Chinese. Always tastes fresh and well cooked. Staff are very polite and chatty too. A☆ rating from me

First time I've used this takeaway and will definitely use again. The food was tasty and came in big portions

Really good food and service usually call in after a game of snooker

Good take away Used this place for many many years and still rate their food and service. Food always good and very tasty.

By far one of my top Chinese takeaway places. Their Chicken Fried Rice is the standard that I hold others to. Can't recommend them enough.

Lovely chinese. Never had a fault with food an been using for over 15yrs. Big portions.

Awful greasy batter on sweet and sour chicken normally ok

Great good. We travel from Anlaby to get food here.

The food is very good and plenty full

The starter was a disappointment. The spare ribs were awful, the prawn toast was soggy and the spring rolls were medioca at best. The special fried rice was lovely to be fair, best I've had for a long time and I enjoyed the sweet and sour chicken too. Shame the starter was so poor, otherwise I would have given a glowing review

First time trying this take away Couldn't eat it was disgusting

Telephone orders to collect are best and mask wearing mandatory in shop.

Nice and hot. Never experienced a poor meal yet. Have used this takeaway for several years. Highly recommended.

I recommend the house special chow mein! 👍

Utterly terrible. £30 of dreadful cooking. An embarrassment to the Chinese community. There is no way some of these reviews are real.. Do yourself a favour, and find somewhere else to buy food.

As always excellent food and friendly service

Brilliant food! Staff fantastic, especially the young man serving. Really polite and well mannered under pressure as it was extremely busy over the Christmas period.

Sometimes you just need a takeaway and this place fits the bill.

Yeah I don't mind this take away.👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

2nd time we have used merit and 2nd time order was wrong. When i went back to collect the correct order the chef came out and said nothing wrong. His attitude was awful. Dont use

Always tasty, a good amount of chicken in any of the dishes we've tried. Quick service too, we recommend this takeaway

Tom is a top bloke, lovely food, carnt stay away, cheers Tom

Sorry to say used this Chinese takeaway for years. Started to go downhill in terms of putting prices up, reducing portion sizes and taste. Decided to give them another go after lockdown on 16th May 2020 and wished we hadn’t. Taste was awful both Chow Mein and Special Curry. Chips were awful too. No taste at all. It all tasted like it had been reheated. Total waste of money and majority went in the bin. Sorry but will not be returning.

Gorgeous food, really nice staff, only downfall is they don't offer delivery.

Good sized portions, good value for money. Only downside is egg fried rice a bit dry.

Got a beef curry Friday no taste to curry rubbish wont be returning any time soon

Absolutely rubbish will not be going again

Very friendly and efficient, good food too. Will be returning

Specifically popped in just to see if this takeaway sold cheesy chips before going elsewhere.( being a Chinese we were unsure but family members had different preferences) The answer was yes so we paid, popped elswhere then came back & ordered some more food for other family members.1 request being chips & gravy. We got home & had been given 2 portions of salt & peper chips instead! ( so cheesy chips AND chips & gravy ordered at separate times both sound like salt & pepper chips) Which no one likes. On going back while other family ate there food while hot it was claimed that was what was ordered as it was on their own receipt! ( we was not given a copy) They were the ones using the till to order our food & had obviously misheard!! They supplied us with the chips & gravy but didn't do cheesy chips...which is why we asked in the first place so we still had to go elsewhere! Untie the bags & check you have the correct order before leaving or ask for & check your receipt. As for the chips & gravy, the chips were quite hard & bland.

My local, great food friendly staff.

Food usually ready 10 mins from phone order. No delivery service that I know of, collection only and cash payments as no card machine. Great food !

I am the manager of Merit Chinese Takeaway。I have to tell all my customers the truth about “Mark Etheridge”s fake reviews。 Recently，there are “threaten cases” happened not only in Merit but many Chinese takeaways. “Mark Etheridge”，according to your comments that your friend has recommended Merit Chinese takeaway to you because he told you“if you threaten the staff and you will get a full refund+ free meal”。 You and “your friends” use same scenario and reasons in many Chinese takeaways。 In fact，you have eaten all the food instead of you said“you have put all the food in the bin”。You threaten me to refund the money by telling me “you have friends who working in the newspaper which could report us”，“you are working in food hygiene office ” and “this conversation has been recorded”。 All you want is free meal！！！ Hi Mark（it might not be your real name），we take every feedback very seriously。For any fake reviews，we will take legal actions to defend our interestes！ We are aiming for providing the best food and service for our customers，we thank for all our customers‘ support for so many years！

After being recommended we gave merit Chinese takeaway ago. All I can say is my friend must have something wrong with his taste buds. The food was bland and tasteless. After ringing to get a refund (yes it was that bad) the manager said that they didnt use chemicals like other takeaways do that's why it was tasteless and they had other complaints earlier that week. Personally I thought herbs and spices with a passion for food made a good meal. Well wont be going back there and definitely would not recommend

Just been to merit Chinese again, house chowmein & curry sauce absolute beaut! More meat on my plate than a farmers stock :) AMAZING FOOD

Would recommend the omelettes, portion sizes are good value too

Ideal for a quick takeaway. The food is consistent in quality and service is prompt.

Always my preferred choice if I'm in the area. Very pleasant staff and food is superior. Highly recommend.

Best chinese in town be going there for over ten years good food and good food

Yea I had to try it for myself. Because you never know about the reviews. But if I can help someone out. Then I'd say just don't go here its the worst Chinese iv ever had. Frid rice is baba. Far to much grease on all the food. You've better off going to centres Chinese.

Popped in yesterday, reasonably priced food. Food wasnt great, egg fried rice was overcooked and stogey, chow mein was a soggy mess, beef and tomatoes were bland as was the chop suey... We shall avoid this place in future, threw most of it in the bin!!

Cash only at this place but good food

Lovely food and lovely staff. carnt fault the place..

Great food good service what more do you want from a takeaway

Good takeaway, generous portions and good quality, friendly staff in the takeaway. Did a telephone order a a busy Saturday night and it was ready to collect in 10 minutes, so good service too.

excellent takeaway good tasty food and fast vet pleasant people who run this takeaway always happy to help

We ordered chicken chow mein, ribs, egg fried rice and a duck dish! Cost £17 + all I can say, it all was unrecognisable! The rice was a clump of tasteless stodge! As for the ribs, fatty bones! And the so called duck had freezer burn, obviously they have a job-lot in the freezer! It was disgusting! We feel robbed! DO NOT GO HERE FOR CHINESE FOOD. They don't know what Chinese food is!

Nice food. Friendly family run.

Been using for years but recently have a medical diet but they have been lovely and accommodated me and replace as needed with thing I can have and like

Good Chinese food at a reasonable price

Been on the go at least 30 years, the old man who runs it seems to know everyone who comes in.

Been going there since I was a kid... And thankfully they've kept the curry tasting the same over the past 40 yrs . Great food shame they don't deliver

Visited after being recommend by numerous people,great food. And good sized portions.and very tasty and hot. Ordered on telephone told ready in 10 mins. When I got to the shop it was ready.

I used to go out to restaurants on some jelly occasions. But now I just get a fantastic take away from merit. And just relax at home with a much better meal. The chap who serves in there is so pleasant. And the food is great

Very nice food and reasonable prices... Be great if they delivered

We have visited this take away for nearly 25 or so years but just recently the food seems to have fallen in standard. Chips scrappy and like they are from previous night. Curry sauce was a bit tasteless.

I use merit quite often I would say once a fortnight and I have tried most of the meals on the menu over time and have always enjoyed the majority of them you are always made welcome by Craig and his family

Great food everytime been going 2 years

I've ordered a number of times from Merit. Food is always of a good quality and the service is polite and efficient. Well worth a visit if you enjoy Chinese food as they have an extensive menu.

This has to be one of the best Chinese Take Aways in Hull and it has been for years. Everything I've had from this place has always been amazing. Would highly recommend! You know it's good, when they don't have a delivery service, because people are willing to collect their orders! ;)

Visited to collect a telephone order that we had made before hand. This takeaway does not deliver which can be a hassle having to collect however it is well worth it. Arrived within ten minutes or ordering via telephone and food was available immediately despite the takeaway being really busy. Ordered a special foo Young with rice and beef in black bean sauce, also with rice. Came to around £11 which was cheaper than our usual Chinese takeaway! Food was brilliant and nicest we have tried in Hull by far. Will be returning.

Este lugar no es mejor comida china › sabroso y deliciosa, dejó que pocos llevar sin ningún problema. El personal es amable

Nice Chinese, they've got a huge fish in the shop which is nice, top Chinese

The Best Chinese I've ever been to,Great service long running owner Lovely Food Good prices what more can i say I've been going to Merit Chinese for about 8 years as its my local chinese but I've been to many Chinese before never topped this place, im always so happy with it

Yo he estado comiendo de la comida para llevar para los más de 30 años y durante este tiempo nunca ha servido en una mala comida. El personal es muy amable y el pub al lado es muy práctico para una mientras mi comida es estar preparado. Si vives en East Hull es sin duda vale la pena probarlo y las cervezas tampoco está mal!

This take away possible looks not the most up to date and be aware they don't accept cards, however the newsagent has a cash machine. Always sampling our favourite dishes when we try somewhere new- we were very impressed with the quality of the food. Will be going again

I've been eating from this Chinese for years and being honest I have never had a bad meal.The food is always cooked to a high standard and it is well worth the 6-7 mile round trip.I can't find any faults atall and the service is always very professional.One little gripe for me and maybe hundreds of other people is they don't deliver!Overall well worth a visit.

Love this Chinese, been visiting it for a lot of years.. never had a bad meal. only downside is they don't deliver

We used to use this place a lot, but a couple of years ago we had about 4 or 5 really bad meals from there on the trot, so we stopped going. Tried it again last night and was pleasantly surprised. It seems to have returned to its former glory. Only downside to them is that they don't deliver and they're closed one night during the week

I regularly use the Merit Chinese Takeaway always served with a smile good menu to choose from and Craig and family are all pleasant hard working people keep up the good work

Have used this takeaway many times. The food has always been really good and at reasonable prices. Very friendly staff. If you want a Chinese takeaway look no further!

Really good Chinese food, everything I've had from here has been excellent. Always very busy which is a good sign.

Wonderful food and lovely service from the family who own the takeaway. I have never ordered a bad meal and they are always very fast in getting your food ready. I'd never go anywhere else. TIP try the special fried rice with your meal .... lovely.

We have been regular customers for years. The food is excellent every time. Excellent service.
