Modern Chinese Takeaway in New Forest

Nice food but massively excessive portions for a high price. Offering smaller portions for a more sensible price would be preferable, we overpaid and had so much waste

dont bother overly priced due to the portion sizes were plentyful for quality and taste awful even the dog turned his nose up

Excellent. Food was great, portions were very good, worth the price. Ready on time. Highly recommend. Will definitely use in the future. Best Chinese takeaway for ages.

Absolutely tasty and amazing portions. Very polite staff and extremely great food delivered on time . Absolutely fantastic.

Delicious food! Always welcoming 😁 Strongly recommend if need a chinese takeaway in Hythe!

Great food and they gave me free prawn crackers!

Lovely treat tonight. It was nice, however the pancake roll needs seasoning not alot of flavour

Best Chinese in the area. Never disappoints

It's a takeaway, so there's no atmosphere, it's counter service cash only.

Never had a problem with service, always friendly and quick 10-15 minutes. Only criticism is that the chowmein needs more sauce and less beansprouts that are all bunched up in layers. Price wise OK.

Food stone cold. No taste. Price is not the same as the menu online Orederd 3 dishes all bland and cold

Good food and good staff, very helpful, and quick, love Chinese food, plenty of parking x

Waited 40 minutes in the takeaway for a collection that we had phoned through 40 minutes before going to collect it!!! When we got back, the food wasn't great. Undercooked rice and mediocre meal. Really disappointed, on a night we were meant to be spending with family we don't see often. Wish we'd gone elsewhere. Was more expensive than expected too. Bad pricing. Wouldn't recommend.

Have used Modern for years and never had an issue. I always call to order and then collect and normally always told 10-15 minutes, but if they’re busy, it’s no longer than 30 minutes. Absolutely incredible flavour, never go anywhere else.

Very good Chinese food served up very quickly

Worst Chinese takeaway I’ve ever had. Bland, tasteless, poor quality food, fine if you like microwave noddles! Save your money folks. The dog seemed to enjoy it though!

Been coming to Modern for many years and it is alway consistently good. Very friendly service.

Great little takeaway and fantastic staff!!!

First Chinese from here and how lovely it was. So nice and tasty. Collected our order and it was on time to. Really nice food.

Best Chinese Takeaway I've ever been to great service super delicious food and fairly priced. I would highly recommend Modern to everyone.

Really nice food, absolutely great sized portions for the money. Delivery can be a bit slow during busy times but pretty quick on collection

Got a takeaway and she read out my order, got home and I had something different. I phoned and she told me to eat it, or bring it back. I asked for my meal to be delivered and she told me it would be two hours. Awful food from what I had of the rest.

Good food Good service Just good really

Food is nice. Decent portions. But only take cash and if you have a slightly difficult address/ a flat, then will be asked to collect, so not ideal

Fabulous food always . Lovely friendly lady

The food was good and the portions were a decent size but they only take cash payments which isn't something I really carry around these days.

Went for the usual sweet and sour chicken with egg fried rice. Unfortunately the chicken was soggy and tastless and looked like the kinda stuff you get frozen in a tin, really poor to be honest, did expect better. Hot and sour soup was great though.

Sadly wasn't very good. Crispy beef in sauce very chewy and not at all crispy but soggy. Singapore noodles more beansprouts and veg, tasted like curry powder. Overall not a very enjoyable meal.

Adequate food but need more staff. Always “half-hour “ wait, but normally 1 hour.

Always lovely food and friendly owners.

Right now it is absolutely heaving so I really wouldn't bother, any other time, best Chinese in the area.

Great food and service with a smile

Another very good Chinese, say no more

Great food and always hot when I get home. The lady who takes your order is very nice and efficient, I would not go anywhere else for takeaway.

Excellent food and large helpings.

Having just tried the Modern Chinese in Hythe. Now I don't usually post on here but I just want to share my personal experience. Chicken and sweet corn soup. Very sweet and gloopy. Pancake rolls were ok but very greasy. King prawn balls with sweet n sour sauce. This was what prompted my post... absolutely awful. Small kind prawns encased in tasteless thick and inedible doughy batter.. The sauce was quite artificial . Won't be going back!!!

Superb food & service. Have used this Chinese takeaway for many years.

Getting too expensive and discriminates against single person orders as usually we order much less and can't get to minimum delivery and then they charge there local customers a £1 charge, be kinder and look after the locals.

Really excellent food. Best Chinese around.

Fantastic food. Great service even whilst really busy. Taste is top rate !!!

Best Chinese takeaway anywhere.

Decent food but such a bad wait and really bad telephone operator. Just say 'okay, that'll be an hour' or however long rather than "okay". Nearing 2 hours now. Edit: was 3* now it's 2*, food arrived below luke-warm.

Good food large portions good service

Excellent food and friendly service

Always enjoy the food from here

Ordered at 5.10pm and told 1hr for delivery. Food came at 7pm after us calling to chase twice, and one of the dishes was wrong so we ended up with two noodle dishes. Food itself is ok, not the best chinese I've had. Prawn crackers stale. Wouldn't recommend personally.

Had a meal, it was very good and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Disgusting food, taste of absolutely nothing. I've eaten a lot of Chinese food and this is the worst yet. Had to ring 3 times to get a refund as she kept hanging up on me. When she finally gave me a refund she threw the money at me and didn't speak. Rude staff, disgusting food!! Do not recomend. Would give no star but isn't an option.

Deserves less than 1 star.... Food was tasteless and I'm sure it was reheated. Asked for my money back and got hung up on 3 times. Would not recommend to anyone

Great food very busy at times so can be a wait for delivery or even collection but always good service been going here for past 30 years

Have been using Modern for a while had friends around . Placed our order Ask for a specific delivery time was amazed with the young lady's politeness and was on time. Food Good was excellent. Shame about 5 star you deserve more.

I don't usually do reviews but this Chinese is terrible had the worst sweet n sour chicken balls ...Couldn't find the chicken through the fat ....yuck!!! Chips old n cold and fella loves ribs but so tough he left some ...never again

Wish I could give no stars. Food is nice, delivery times an absolute joke. Unless you live round the corner don't bother. Almost a two hour wait and that's normal for them and they still charge you full price. Shocking.

Ordered at 5.45, advised half hour wait. Went to shop at 6.15....... Still waiting at 7.15. Asked if my food had started to be cooked - didn't give assured response - left without food!!!! AND I WASN'T THE ONLY ONE!!!! Can't give less than one star - otherwise I would have!

Excellent chinese good portion size

Food excellent. Prices fair. Been going here years wouldn't go anywhere else. Tryed others too greasy. Modern food perfect and you get bag of free prawn crackers. 👍👍

Have used this Chinese for a couple of years. Always been average. The past few times using it we have ordered over £40 of food for collection, turned up at the given time (usually 40 or so minutes after ordering) and have had to wait an hour there for the food to be ready. Won’t be going there anymore!

The best Chinese food in Hythe !, I have tried the others & without doubt Modern is the best, I won't be going anywhere else, outstanding quality & plenty of it !

Waited over 2.5 hours for my order. Kept phoning only for them to eventually blame me as they claim they couldn't find my house. Gave them directions and phone number, said they were sending him back but nope! Thanks for absolutely nothing!

Enjoyed a meal for 3, lots of food so no one went hungry. The meal was cooked quickly considering they were extremely busy (phone rang more than ten times whilst I was waiting), was hot and tasty. I don't think there was any MSG in the meal and they have a wide variety of dishes to choose from. Perhaps only a small criticism is that some of the items were a little bland but the flavours were more subtle than other Chinese food I have had which were over seasoned. I would recommend this take away.

Just got a meal from them, normally its pretty good but tonight it was horrible, everything is cold, stale prawn crackers and all very low standard. 40 minute wait as they were very busy but told me 25. I wont be going back again, waste of money

Generous portions. Food made to order with omissions of ingredients not wanted. Good service. Reasonable prices.

Always a great value tasty Chinese meal good service too

Really impressed, delicious food, reasonably priced, and generous portions, we are not small eaters but there was leftovers for lunch for both of us!

Great service and great food, highly recommend!

Disgusting worst chinese I've ever had. It was soggy. The meat was suspicious and no prawns in the prawn balls. I returned the food.....uneaten and got my money back. AVOID!

I was eating from here quite a few times until last night , I had 2 chicken dishes that were not good to eat , the chicken was tough and the food was not even hot , I took the dishes back tonight and I thought the lady was going to be sympathetic, instead she snatched the food out of my hand and had a very angry look on her face , I was going to except her giving me fresh dishes but instead she slammed the money on the counter , I was not impressed with this , what she should of done she should of treated me nicely as she would of got me back , I will not be returning again with that sort of treatment !

Lovely food every time and fast delivery

Always excellent food and friendly service

Ordered at 20:50 and still not here by 22:30. I tried to ring them countless times but no answer, they're an absolute joke. Try Magic Magic if I was you...
