Awful meal the bbq spare ribs were tough as old boots and the sauce was disappointing will definitely not be ordering from here again

The BBQ ribs were full of oil and had no flavour to them as all you could taste was oil. The prawn toast had no prawn was just fat inside and not even cut and the beef in the beef curry was tough that it had to be cut with a knife. Also the wrong door number was taken down and the driver had to ring to establish the address.. was not impressed at all.

You can not ask for better service or food within the Gowerton area than Ming Fai. It doesn’t matter what dish you order from Ming Fai, it will be top notch. The drivers for their delivery service are timely and kind. We wouldn’t go anywhere else. Maggie is a star. X

Absolutely disgusting! Crispy beef was chewy and so over cooked the meat was literally splintering. Had pork in BBQ sauce which was black and watery didn’t taste anything like bbq sauce. Sweet & sour Crispy chicken was over cooked and tasted weird. Never order from there again I feel physically sick and it’s put me right off Chinese only descent thing was the chips

Ordered a chow mein, was absolutely vile! Chicken was like rubber and was tasteless. When I took it back the horrid woman behind the counter was snappy and refused a refund. She stuck a fork in my food and ate it, then gave it back to me! Extremely unhygienic and especially during the coronavirus (when nothing should touch another persons food!) she said I was the first person to ever complain and that nobody had ever done so before! I asked to speak to the manager and she said he was “busy” I refused to leave until she took my number...he didn’t call me, I rang him several times until I got through to him. He was equally as rude and I found out she had lied and told him I had asked her to eat the food! Absolute joke of a place, don’t bother eating here...order from hafod packed meals instead! Lovely food there!

The worst chinese I ever had. I ordered chow mein- it smelled and tasted disgusting and the beef was gross. The barbecue ribs tasted nothing like barbeque and were just sitting in a watery, tasteless sauce. They were also really rubbery and seemed like they had been re-heated more than once. Absolutely awful.

This is the first take way we ordered since easing of restrictions. Very disappointing we have eaten from here before but never again. The food was tasteless. Slime/oil later on the ribs. They were dry and again tasteless. After spending more than £50 it was an absolute waste of money. Try it if you want but if you want my advice avoid at all cost.

Have just ordered the chicken and beef chow mein. Can honestly say one of the worst chinese takeaway I have ever experienced. The chicken was cold and tasted like rubber. The chow mein was covered in grease. Tasted as if somebody had poured a whole packet of salt in there. Disgusting taste. Will never go back there! Avoid like the coronavirus!

Haven't been here for a long time as we found an alternative. But after my meal on NYE, I can safely say I'm returning here. What a delicious meal and plenty for your money. We had a mixture of different foods. Each one was hot and delicious. Staff are fabulous. Delivery service is available but I live down the road so I collected. The shop is clean and cosy.

Where do I start - I've read previous reviews Some of them echo what I have experienced Strangely enough the so called honey ribs were horrendous Guess what the woman behind the counter said no one has ever complained before !! The ribs were like rubber - the bone was orange giving the impression they had been in a marinade for days as opposed to being cooked freshly The rice stank - it really was an awful smell Pancake roll - you could grease your ball-bearings Attitude - they had a delivery person - I asked if he could come to my house to provide a refund - owner said no - he was too busy - so I took the food back myself - delivery person was sitting down doing nothing - I only live half a mile from the place - but there we go Please please don't get food from here it is truly awful

We had our first and last takeaway from here this evening. The food was awful, the worst Chinese food we have had. The sweet and sour sauce was overly sweet and very dark in colour. We wasted most of the food as for us it was inedible. The only positive is that the service was good.

I used to always have food from here, it was more expensive than others but the food was good so it was worth it. But a change of circumstances meant it wasn't possible to use it so often. I was in the area recently so called in to get food and was looking forward to it. What a disappointment! The starters were tasteless and main meal was so salty I failed to eat it. Won't be going back.

I only purchase about 4 takeaways per year, and so cannot say that I have a wealth of experience of these kinds of places, however, I find myself returning to this place, may time over +20 years. Never been disappointed with the food, whether it is a set meal for 2 or various dishes off the menu. Dishes cooked to order, but only have to wait about 10 minutes after ordering and paying for your food. Served piping hot in plastic dishes.

Ming Fai = Ming-ing. Very appropriately named take away! Over priced, bland food. The dishes including the curry do not come with rice/chips and are tasteless, with low quality ingredients. No beef in a special curry?! Fried rice was also bland with a strange after taste Save yourself time and money by going somewhere else. I will never go back.

The re-heated rice had clearly been over cooked, the salt and pepper chips would have tasted nice if the chips were freshly cooked and crispy beef was crisp not sure if there was actually any beef in there. The spicy sauce was nice hence the 2 stars, otherwise do not bother. When you are 2 minute walk from the takeaway so you take your time (5 mins) fully expecting to wait for your food but you find your food waiting for you. It says it all!!!
