Michael's Takeaway in Ipswich

Gets very busy which is always a good sign of food quality - prices are very reasonable compared to other Chinese shops. Recommended

This place is pretty good but they’ve recently put up all the prices and it’s now too expensive.

Excellent food great staff very quick in preparation of orfer

Food delis. Try their prawn toast its really yummy 😋 😊

Nice food, friendly staff, will definitely go there again

Its a best asian food in ipswich nowhere is better taste as michaels

I would avoid the chilli beef. Poor quality beef used. Mostly uneditable or overly chewy and sauce was watery. Rest of the meal was good.

Picked up a meal for valentines and can’t really say many good things about it. Satay chicken had no peanut sauce and dry, prawn toast and spring rolls were soggy Sweet chilli squid was vile and rubbery, not what I was expecting Duck course was ok but not shredded Crispy beef went straight in the bin, looked anaemic and was very dry Chicken curry was horrible and chicken was rubbery Rice had a long grey hair in it. Won’t be coming back!

Reasonably priced Chinese takeaway

Have used this Chinese several times since moving to Ipswich. The food is always fresh and very tasty. At very reasonable prices. The only downside is they don't accept card.

Everything is way way to spicy never used to be like this can’t even taste the food! I like spicy but that’s a joke

Used to swear by this place but since new owners have taken over it's now awful! The meat was like jelly and in pretty sure it's not real meat. Nothing had any taste and very greasy.

Had this a few days ago and it was the worst iv ever had. Everything was so over done, burnt and so greasy. Curry sauce was like water. Nothing had any flavor. The seaweed was all soft and tasteless. Ribs were so small and hardly any meat and so dry, were meant to be bbq flavor. My squid dish had 4 little chunk bits of squid and the rest of the dish was just creamed with peppers and onions. Very very disappointed. Do not recommend and will not buy from here again.

Probably one of the best takeaways in Ipswich, however they do not deliver and do not take cards. Cash only I'm afraid , but the food is very good and very reasonable prices

Mothers day meal so busy. From order to collection, one hour but that was delayed by an hour once we arrived. So two hours from order to collection and them food was bland and tasteless

We had to wait 40 mins on a quiet Saturday night, and it wasn't the same quality as our numerous visits before.

Excellent food, one of the best Chinese takeaways in Ipswich

My favorite food in ipswich,and nice service!

Probably the worst Chinese we have ever had I don't know if the pictures do it justice but the beef in the chowmein felt like it was covered in slime

A basic no frills takeaway. You can't say anything bad about it. Just nothing to otherwise write, but served a purpose.

Excellent meal from local takeaway.

great food loades of flavour good portions 👍

Such a bland tasteless chow mien. Chicken didn’t even look like chicken Only noodles chicken and sweetcorn. No flavour. Never will go there again

Always rated this place, had my first take out in ages and have to admit food wasn't as good as I'd remembered but still pretty decent and excellent value for money.

Back to being a really good takeaway, very nice food at a reasonable price.

Delightful food on the main stretch of Norwich Road, good parking outside. Food excellent, impressed with the house special chow mein, plenty of meat, vegetables and sea foods all at reasonable prices!

Good quality of food here, impressed.

Food was made very quickly and very nice. I will be visiting again!

Quite good although a bit difficult to understand the staff Nice food

Very good food and good service!

Not particularly appetising food. And they only accepted cash, which I found suspicious. Won't be returning, sorry!

Really not good this evening the curry sauce pot bottom had melted covering everything in the bag also every dish and prawn crackers didn't taste fresh wont be using again u have lost a customer!!

Very consistent quality and quantity 👌🏾

Very salty and not much flavour.

Food turned up earlier than planned, service very good ! The actual food was disappointing, chips over cooked, ribs very dry ! The search for a decent Chinese continues, and michael’s ends here .

very good food and good service！

Very nice food, friendly service. We are sure come back again.

Very disappointed with my last meal from them normally always good😔

Ordered beef in oriental sauce, received beef in tomato sauce....

It was good, not breath taking, but still a good meal that hit the spot. Would have again.

Shocking, couldn’t eat the chicken. Never again

Haven't used this place for well over a year. Seems to have gone downhill.

Really quick service. Great food

Nice food in general .One of the best Beef chow mein’s I’ve eaten however the chicken chop suey had way too much salt in it. We had to bin it.

Excellent food and service, good price too.

Stale prawn crackers. Unpleasant sauce with prawns. Chicken wings coating not crisp or tasty but stodgy. Beef was chewy - actually spat some out into bin. Set Meal B for 2 people.

Best ipswich Chinese takeaway. Good food. Fast service for reasonable price

Really nice food! Used to have Micheal’s Chinese when I was younger but then went to another Chinese (no idea why), had a disgusting experience with them & has since went back to Micheal’s! The food is sooo good and fast too even with the pandemic going on!

Chicken in sauce looks questionable, rubber strange consistency and inedible. Chicken that’s been fried seemed fine. Sauce wasn’t very flavourful and very watered down. Such a shame.

Always good food here. One of the best Chinese takeaways in Ipswich.

The best Chinese takeaway in Ipswich me and my partner would not go anywhere else

That's very quick cook! Thanks anyway I got dinner tonight

All ways a polite experience and quick great food .

Cheap, dry. Asked for peas didn’t even add them to my rice? First time and definitely last time.

Best Chinese in Ipswich amazing as always

New owners Michael's no longer there. Had a take away from here last night a chow mein very poor, very dry and poor quality ingredients. This place has seriously gone downhill much better places near by. My advice stay away.

I ordered from here on the 26th of August. I ordered special fried rice and sweet and sour sauce. The woman on the till said “£10.60” I said “sorry what did I order” she said “£10.60” I said “what did I order” she said “mushroom....ooooh £5.50” I sat and waited. I was given my bag of food and I thanked the lady. When I got home there was a fly on top of the sweet and sour sauce in my bag. I took a picture of this too. Don’t order from this takeaway. Disgusting standards!

Always been my favourite but let themselves down when busy. Lady taking orders couldn't hear and was getting stressy. Not my best takeaway but I'll put it down to being very busy.

Quick service, good food, decent price. Cash only.

Good service, tasty food. Worth every penny.

Not the greatest to be fair. Very thin runny curry, dry chow mein, chips & prawn crackers were nice though. Cheap compared to other places, but you get what you pay for I guess.

Very good food and very good prices!

Massive portions, I'm a big eater and it filled me, very quick from ordering to being ready, staff seem very friendly too

Food is always great here. Good fast service. Just needs to offer delivery service. But the quality of food is well worth the drive out.

Horrible food since it changed owners we wont be back.

One of the best in town. Does not deliver though

This was my favourite Chinese takeaway for several.years, but within the last 12 months it's changed hands...and become... Different. Now different-good or different-bad, I'm still undecided. The menu is the same, but they now serve in plastic trays rather then the tin ones, and they have a computer till rather than the totals being totted up on a pad of paper. And while there is still the curtious goodbye after collecting your meal, it feels more like a business being run for money, than what it was before... Still very good food, but feels.like the prices went up with the change in ownership. The won ton soup tastes different every time I go, so I've stopped ordering it. Kung pow king prawn is my current favourite. 2018 Update: sadly it's gone quite down hill. The wonton soup used to be a very light broth, clear and subtle. It's now the same colour as gravy, and really not very tasty at all. Sorry, I'll be frequenting less now :(

Very nice takeaway. Can get extremely busy. only minus one star for the lack of a delivery service.

Best Chinese take away in Ipswich

I ordered last night from them and some of the items were not the one I ordered. Very disappointed because I checked the order before and after collection and still there were wrong items packed in our order. Next time do check each item in that bag before you collect.

the place is under new management, not the great tasting food from before. the staff are a lot less pleasant as well. food is below average at best but costs more than it was under old management

Your average suburban Chinese takeaway, but your best option west of the town.

I've been coming here on and off for over 20 years. The food is good and the staff are friendly.

Great takeaway at good prices. Update: gone massively down hill under new owners, no longer use. Greasy, bland and more expensive.

Many many people order from here but it's not my type

Valentine meal !!! was bloody disgusting and would never go there again blue sky so the way if anyone think it's tasted they ant had good food no fast and cold place ant the same since took over from Michaels

Great Chinese takeaway. Food is nearly always ready to collect within 15-20 minutes, if you phone up in advance.

Tasty food, good price and you can see them cooking.

Has changed since new ownership. Food isn't as good, much more greasy. Still the best we can find in and around ipswich

Good food. Can phone orders as well

Changed owners and now is pretty awful. Such a shame

Awful food, the place has gone down hill with the new owners

I just went and picked up our usual Chinese we have gotten for 3 years and I couldn't believe it when I opened it up it was all completely different they used to have the BEST beef black bean ever, best curry etc to then find out they have changed ownership. I would of liked to of known if the previous owners have moved elsewhere etc. I wouldn't say this Chinese was horrible but nothing will ever ever compare to the usual Michaels everyone used to love and know. I'm so disappointed :(

nice Chinese food. Best in town

Now it's taking over new owner ship the foods changed so much it's not nice food anymore

Just had lemon chicken dry and tasteless the rice tasted and smelt.like dirty oil have never had such awful food it went in the bin wont be going back used to be lovely from there

Not the same after new owners.will not be back after going there for 4 years

Michaels was the best Chinese in town but we ordered today and was seriously disappointed. We assume it has changed owners judging by the standard of food, New people working inside and lady on the phone. We will not be going back here again. So gutted. Wish we knew where the old owners have gone?!

This was my fav Chinese the food was always amazing and I'd give it 5 out of 5, however went on the weekend and it's changed hands. Awful food, made my boyfriend ill, waited an hour although we were told 20mins. Couldn't get the order right over the phone. Such a shame I'm genuinely disappointed! Does anyone know where the old owners have gone?

Terrible, must have recently changed hands and now it is terrible. When ever I get a Chinese it is always from michaels been going there for years the best Chinese in Ipswich, not no more. Phoned up for an order, told 20 mins on the phone, got there food wasn't ready, waited for 45 mins still no food, to then find out it had been sitting in a box all this time under a wrong name the women had write down! Order came to £50 gave them £30 and walked out! When we got home then realised that we were missing 4 dishes we had ordered, ordered chicken balls and got prawn balls instead, chips were stone cold! I will not be going back there, such a shame in has changed hands

was recommended to us and we have been using the takeaway happily for 4 years... excellent food. 😄

The owners and chefs must have changed, and not for the better. Such a shame as this place was great. Not anymore worst Chinese I've had for a long time. Won't be ordering again

Quality of the food and you see it being cooked.

We ordered in advance for a family get together, arrived to pick up meal and had to wait 45 mins, witnesssed a lit if people walking out, drove home then found have a lot of the meal was missing, phoned to complain and the woman wasn't at all helpful offered a discount next time we go in but that is no good when some people had nothing to eat. The woman then put the phone down on us, so we phoned again and she was rude and had lied to us that someone would bring the rest of our meal to us which later we were told that was impossible as no one there could drive. A rare occasion because of distance that the whole family could be together ruined because of the incompetence of this place, if you want a good meal avoid this place.

Every time we have Chinese my boys get the menu for here...for us this is the only place to order..friendly and always polite

Great selection of food reasonably priced and friendly staff

ALWAYS TOP NOTCH . Delicious , fresh and excellent value . 5 STAR

Food always fantastic and super fast service. Normally only takes around 10-15 mins to get your food and you can see them cooking!

Excellent Chinese takeaway. Highly recommended!

Delicious, consistent and lovely staff. Even after all these years they've never got an order wrong or charged us incorrectly. The food is always hot and delicious, wide choice to choose from, what more can you ask for. Without doubt the best Chinese in Ipswich!
