Moji in Newcastle upon Tyne

This restaurant has a wide variety of Sichuan cuisine. I like the taste here very much and it reminds me of the food I ate when I traveled to China! The food here tastes great, very authentic and the ingredients are very fresh!

Ordered Uber Eats on 11/11/24 The whole meal was disgusting. The salt and chilli prawns were the worst I've ever had. They were rock hard overcooked way too salty to the point where it was bitter and inedible. The seaweed was the same, over-seasoned and inedible. I was unable to place a complaint due to the restaurant being closed by the time I got my order. I ordered only 4 items and I was charged £42 which looking back is absolutely ridiculous. I was unable to eat 90% of the meal. Safe to say I am really really disappointed

A very good dining experience, the food tastes relatively authentic, the portion is large and affordable, I recommend Linyi Fried Chicken. btw There are discounts by cash or WeChat.

Worst Chinese I've ever had. Overpriced, spicy and inedible.

I ordered a vegan meal from this restaurant and the dish was contaminated with real meat. It was the vegan duck and seemingly had beef in it. I suppose that’s what you get from ordering from takeaways but this kind of cross contamination is something I have never experienced before🤮

Absolutely vile, chicken tasted sweaty I’m not joking one bite went in the bin, tasted like sloppy poop, 56 pound down the drain honey chilli chicken tasted like oil. Really smelled 🙈🙈, I’d be shown up sending that absolutely disgusting 🤮

The service was speedy and friendly. The food came so fast. All tasty and fresh. Great portion with reasonable price.

What can I say - service was amazing, staff were attentive and friendly and so helpful. The food was absolutely amazing. The only bad thing is that we live too far away to make it our local!! We were here on holiday but unanimously agreed that the food was so good it was worth coming up for a meal again! The lamb ribs were absolutely to die for - my favourite dish! Servings were plentiful and there was so much we had to leave a lot as were staying in a hotel so couldn't get it boxed up to eat later - gutted! We will be back!!

Very nice food, very tasty and big portions, would definitely come back for more. Very helpful and friendly staff, and a cute, clean restaurant !

delicious! The ground pot chicken and boiled beef are both delicious, and the pot pork buns are also very good.

Ordered chicken fried rice and it was one of the worst I’ve ever had. The chicken is overcooked and dry the rice is sticky and a bit mushy. Thanks for a great last diner in Newcastle….

1 star is one too many, if I could have given 0 I would have!! Ordered food via delivroo, arrived quickly that was the only one positive remark I’m going to comment on. I have allergies so I made sure to add that in the comments box when ordering. Might as well not bothered. The chicken noodles had onions in, which I cannot eat, the prawn crackers were tasteless, prawn toast curled cooked within an inch of its life. Partners egg fried rice was a compressed congealed brown lump. The crispy beef was anything but, he said it was chewy and tasted disgusting. I contacted the restaurant, to complain about the onions and that I couldn’t eat them the man that answered didn’t speak great English, he kept repeating what I was saying.. I ended up putting the phone down on him as I wasn’t going to get our money back.. £40 of disgusting food that ended up in the bin.. If you have allergies avoid this place!

The food is delicious, the food is very clean and the taste is very good!

The taste is great and the environment is also very good. I will come again next time

A very good dinner. The fried chicken and poached fish are both very tasty and reasonably priced. The service is very friendly and will come often.

As a China person, I think the food here is very delicious and authentic. I hope the boss can do better and better.

The boiled fish is very delicious, spicy and fragrant, and the fish meat is very tender! Linyi fried chicken is particularly authentic

I order 3 times and eat in with my friends already , its nice with the food and service!

It’s delicious. I come here often. It has the taste of my hometown. It’s considered a spicy Chinese restaurant.

Pleasant place which is never crowded and always serving great value-for money food! Just tried this delicious Stir-fried Duck with mushroom dish #372 and it was savory. I also love their beef brisket soup. My go-to Chinese restaurant when I'm famished because they have big portions!

It tastes good and the portion is big. I will come again next time.

A very, very, very, very, very, very delicious restaurant. The chicken is super delicious, the fish in sour soup is delicious, the milk tea is delicious, I recommend the little secret of brown sugar and half sugar, and the dry pot series is also good! It’s delicious. I recommend the hot pot bullfrog!

It's a very good Chinese restaurant, and the service is very enthusiastic. The two of us ordered garlic white pork, Maoxuewang and chili fried pork. They were all delicious and the price was right. If you want to eat Sichuan food, come here.

A very delicious Chinese restaurant in Newcastle, especially the big knuckle!

Newcastle No.1! I live next to Moji, so it’s super convenient to take out. The taste is very authentic and super delicious! !

Came here as a work night out, the food was amazing and the karaoke was fun. Not a huge selection of English songs. I believe there is only one waitress who speaks some broken English but enough to do what's needed. Food was relatively cheap for the portion size. Highly recommend the double cooked pork.

Salt & pepper chips were just cold chips with cinnamon and chilli powder on top, curry was mostly oil and the spring rolls made me sad

The menu was amazing, it was the first time I see a huge menu that has picture of every single food, organized and beautiful. Furthermore, I ordered noodles and they tasted soooo good, I’m here on a trip (I’m from Spain) and this is the best food I have tried in UK, 很好吃💗✨

Needless to say, I come to Newcastle from Durham to eat here every week. It’s delicious, cost-effective and full of food. I’m satisfied. The boss is super nice.

Delicious soldering iron is here

Very, very delicious! Linyi Fried Chicken and Xinjiang Chicken Noodles are most recommended. The milk tea made by my aunt is also super delicious!

Very good Chinese restaurant, authentic taste, affordable price, and great service attitude

Moji is really good. I highly recommend their grilled lamb chops. It is no exaggeration to say that they are really charred on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside.

I like eating this noodles very much

The best mapo tofu in Newcastle!

A very good Chinese restaurant in Newcastle. The waiters are very friendly. Students can get a 20% discount when joining a group, which is very affordable. The store's signature Shandong Linyi fried chicken is very good, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, sweet and delicious. The big bones in Northeastern sauce are also very authentic. As a Harbin native, I never expected to be able to eat hometown dishes in the Northeast of England. In addition, his sauerkraut and white meat is also highly recommended, both of which are Northeastern dishes.

Whenever I come to Newcastle I'm sure to order food from here, the vegetarian options are great!! The tofu is insanely good with a perfect level of spice and I always get fried noodles and veggie spring rolls which are 10/10.

First time ordering from here and the food was very much bland. The salt and chilli chicken was awful and it definitely didn’t taste like chicken. The noodles didn’t have any flour to them at all very dry. The chips were ok and so was the curry sauce. I won’t be ordering again. Disappointed overall.

Lovely food. And absolutely brilliant service. Very quiet for our visit. Dog friendly.

Ordered through ubereats. Tom yum seafood soup with no seafood, salt and chilli chicken just covered in chilli powder and rock hard, hardly any chicken, mostly coating and pork suimai- the dipping sauce was like vinegar. Not impressed at all. I'll stick to my usual restaurant from now on

One of the restaurants serving Chinese food that we have had the opportunity to enjoy in the UK. The quality of the food and everything else is at a normal, acceptable level. However, it is also delicious and gives diners a feeling of comfort.

Terrible. Our usual takeaway but was so different to usual! Honey chicken flavourless in a watery sauce. The beef curry was swimming in oil. The salt and peppers chips as others have pointed out is just a lazy seasoning on top. Quite disgusting service, especially considering the current climate, do not spend your money here.

My brother ordered this as we are on a stag/hen weekend,The main celebration starts a dat after so 8 of us decided to get a table, The main issue we had was the person taking the order did not really speak good English so he had to keep coming back to check the order, and this was just the drinks. It was very confusing for us and him and 2 people still never received their drinks. After nearly 1 hour of waiting and still not explaining the set meal properly we gave up and left to go to another Buffet restaurant Anneesa and it was great, I always worry when you are the only people in at between 7 and 8 pm. My brother made the decision to call it a day and to be fair their set menu for two ranges from £20:50 each up to around £45 each. WE called the other restaurant while waiting and they got us straight in. The difference was amazing, the place was fresh and lots of people but that will be in another review. The lady who was going to prepare the food at the Chinese restaurant was mortified and you could see she was genuinely sorry for the issues. My advise is to get front of house staff that actually understand what you are selling as he did not know the menu or how the set menu worked, It maybe be a training need you can work with him on but ultimately that cost you the best part of £300 to £400 pounds when you take into consideration the drinks we planned to have too and as we had been the only custom in an hour things did not look great. I think also you need to raise your 3 star food hygiene rating as this too will put people off. ALSO WE NEVER SAW THE KARAOKE AND THATS WHY WE ORIGINALLY WENT.

Salt and pepper chips had no onions or pepper just a seasoning thrown on top. Honey chilli chicken was so watery and tasteless. Beef curry was swimming in oil as you can see below. Do not spend your money here, so disappointed

Absolutely terribly awful meal. Would have given it no stars but that was not an option. Green curry was inedible looked like green chicken condensed soup x the hot pot looked like congealed brown stuff and the chicken my daughter had was like treacle. Paid 45 pounds and we all walked out feeling sick and hungry. Worst meal we have ever had

I discovered Mo Ji many months ago and have never been let down. I’m not really a fan of the usual Chinese takeaways available as I prefer more authentic to the region cuisine and so many are very westernised, the usual gloopy rubbish. Mo ji is not like that at all, very fresh, lean, not MSGd up the wazoo. My son doesn’t like Chinese food at all usually, this is the only place he will have it from, so that’s us both happy. Don’t be afraid to try something new or crazy sounding, you never know what you might discover.

The worst service, genuinely disgusted by the interaction with Moji tonight. Ordered from Moji tonight - items were missing from our order. When I called the restaurant, they were incredibly dismissive and unhelpful, implying it was our fault. The only suggestion they had was to place another order for the items. Never again! Avoid at all costs

📍Moji @ 158 New Bridge St, Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 2ST Just a stones throw away from Northumbria University is this Chinese Restaurant. Serving regular patrons authentic Chinese food for more than a decade, a friend of mine from Singapore recommended me this place. Don’t let the rustic looking exterior or the dimly lit stairs fool you; it speaks volumes of how long this restaurant has been running, and along with it, it’s consistency and experience in preparing their cuisine. While most people order take-aways, I’d recommend dining in; food is prepared as it’s freshest and you get the full experience. *I notice the bad reviews for this restaurant happen to be from takeaways. That’s why, I personally would recommend dining in. 🍳 Fu Yong Dan (Chinese Style Omelette) Deliciously prepared, this was quite a large helping, in which my wife really enjoyed. It’s one of her favourite dishes. 🫑 Chilli & Pepper Tofu I love how they use Chilli Pepper Corns in this dish. It was sizeable in proportion, and truly a delicious dish. 🍚 Vegetable Fried Rice Hot from the wok, a lovely dish accompanying the condiments. With the price being at an affordable range, this was really worth experiencing. I’ll come again to try different dishes 😄

Extremely disappointed that this place advertises vegetarian and vegan options and then gives meat anyway. The real and fake meats are completely different colours and textures, it's not hard to give someone the right one. Hoping a refund will come through as I wasn't offered a replacement and I can't eat meat.

Very bad experience..received burnt chicken noodles..honey chili chicken was not fresh...

If could leave a Zero or minus I would. Doesn't even deserve a 1 star Ordered takeaway via UberEATS, charged £25 for delivery that was tasteless rubbish. Honey chilli chicken & shredded beef. And bag of prawn crackers Didn't take off discount. So had to complain to Uber after arriving. Did arrive very quick but we'll disappointed. When arrived the 2 plastic boxes that people use for normal delivery was less than half full, did not have any veg or anything mixed in with beef or chicken. The chicken was hard, & 95% batter only I can't even remember any meat. & Was hard & definitely overcooked not hot at all. The beef well okay apart from very very little and still not hot barely warm. We called up to complain about potions & heat & had to confirm order 5times before understood. Then said so what's wrong Even though told numerous times. Then said speak to management & hung up phone. When phoned back to really complain said he didn't speak, didn't do that. So when I asked to speak to manager or anyone else. Said not there, doesn't know when will be, if in. Who will be. Have no manager. When I commented someone better call or I will call back every hour till, they just laughed & hung up again! Was disgusting tasteless rubbish. Barely any food, and terrible service. Worst place ever!

Neither of the staff spoke English, Had to double check my order and brought out the main 3minutes after the starter. Main was tepid rice was overcooked and again tepid, chicken was flavourless but sauce was tasty. Won’t be returning. I’d advise anyone to swerve this place.

Rang up to ask a simple question about the food, because their Deliveroo descriptions are useless (the "vegan chicken" is cooked in a "pork sauce", what?..). The man who answered was not only completely useless, but did not even try to answer simple questions about what the sauce was. Rude and unprofessional - avoid.

I got a Just Eat delivery from here, it arrived on time, well packaged and still hot. I got the Capital Chicken Wings which was 4 wings in a sorta sweet sauce, they were lovely 😁 i also got the Wind and Sand Lamb Ribs, which was Lamb Flank im guessing?.. some meat and some fat which is not to my taste, the actual lamb meat was juicy and tender, just not enough of it tbh too much fat, also the rub flavouring was a bit much , did actually feel like a was eating dry sand at one point. The chips and curry sauce were nice 😁

Very enjoyable takeaway. We've never used this restaurant before, but every dish we ordered was lovely. Highly recommend.

Really lovely food. We ordered a takeaway which arrived really quickly and was delicious. It can be hard to find a decent Chinese takeaway but this is now my favourite. Sweet and sour was lovely. Not too sweet and not gloopy at all. I’m looking forward to going for a night out!

Ordered the vegan duck rice and it gave me severe food poisoning- be careful!

Went tonight, we planned on going but didn't book. The last time we went was a couple of years ago. Staff were very accommodating and friendly. We ordered banquet Shanghai which was £19.90 per person and well worth it. Food all came at the right time after we finished one course the next came a couple of minutes later, you could tell the food was cooked fresh. The dinning experience was quiet and we could talk to each other. We really don't have a bad word to say about it. We even had to take some food home because there was too much.

Not good. Burnt our first order and trying again months later the same dish was still burnt, not just a bit... to ash. Chips were also soggy, undercooked and inedible.

Absolutely terrible customer service. Ordered a curry and no curry sauce was given so was offered the alternatively enjoying it anyway.

Twice (yes i made the same mistake again) i have ordered food from here on uber eats at around 7pm. Arrival time 8ish. Then the arrival times gets later and later until at around half 8, order is cancelled 5 minutes before collection. No explanation. No way of contact over the phone! Mail box full. Very hungry and no food!

The honey chilli crispy prawns were disgusting. The sauce was just like syrup and soggy prawns. Dry egg fried rice and tasteless house noodles that leace a greasy taste with dry meat (barely any meat also). Would not order again

La comida es deliciosa, una buena selección de opciones vegetarianas (¡el pato vegetariano nunca había visto que fueran 4!) Sin embargo, es un poco caro $$$$$, cuando se pide un plato para 9, uno espera que el arroz venga con él en lugar de tener que pedir por separado para hacer el plato en total 12! ! ! ! que es caro

Ordered from here 3 times via Deliveroo, all 3 times I've had a fantastic experience. Delivery is always here either early or acceptably a few moments late (people seem to forget drivers can't magically control traffic!) one time i ordered from here for me and my Girlfriend and someone named Davie hand wrote a note of compliment that was attached to a free bag of prawn crackers! the food itself is outstandingly good and I would highly recommend Moji, I WILL be a returning customer!

Pedí una comida vegana, el menú indicaba claramente que era apto para veganos. Cuando apareció, tenía un huevo visible. Llamaron al restaurante, no querían saberlo. Cuando se les presionó, no tenían idea de lo que era realmente un vegano y sugirieron que los veganos pueden comer pescado. ! Fueron muy groseros en el teléfono. Rechazó cualquier reembolso. No recomiendo

Debido a la realidad de COVID, solo hemos recibido comida Moji, sin embargo, ha sido absolutamente genial. Su Singapore Vermicelli es el mejor que hemos tenido. Y el servicio ha sido increíble, especialmente considerando los problemas con el servicio de entrega de Uber Eats y Just Eat, la gente de Moji ha sido increíblemente útil para solucionar los problemas y conseguirnos la comida adecuada en el momento adecuado. ¡Lo recomiendo absolutamente y probablemente iré allí en persona, siempre que se nos permita hacerlo nuevamente!

Tengo críticas tan variadas aquí, he ordenado dos veces en el pasado y ha sido increíble y terrible.En primer lugar, el arroz frito vegano es delicioso y es encantador ver opciones alternativas para las entregas. ¡El tamaño es excelente para lo que obtienes y el arroz frito especial es encantador!Lamentablemente, dos cosas lo arruinan. En primer lugar, el pollo es asqueroso. Es viscoso y espeso, no es una experiencia agradable para comer. En segundo lugar, las patatas fritas son sólo patatas fritas americanas. No los más espesos y sabrosos estaban acostumbrados a la mayoría de los platos chinos para llevar.¡La entrega siempre ha llegado puntual y caliente!

Ordered via Deliveroo wouldn’t really have chosen this place ordinarily but gave it a go food arrived really promptly we ordered crispy duck pancakes OK vermicelli Singapore noodles crispy shredded beef and Wind and Sand Lamb Ribs. Cost £50 + delivery 🚚 food OK, not great but edible apart from the Lamb Ribs which were really fatty; @ £16.50 way overpriced. Wouldn’t order again.

This was the second worst Chinese meal ive ever had. So disappointed. The chicken was completely inedible. Even the rice was like nothing I’ve ever seen in a Chinese restaurant.

菜不错，前台的老板娘很亲切，ktv里面的小哥哥们都很帅也很给力😆

Had a takeaway..... Just awful. The most bland chicken and sweetcorn soup I've ever had, under seasoned rice, overcooked chicken. The whole meal just left a bad taste in my mouth

Fui con un gran grupo de amigos, las bebidas eran horribles ya que la cerveza era plana. La comida era asquerosa, ya sea fría, coagulada, mal o demasiado hecha. Luego cometió el gran error de subir al karaoke, ¡todo estaba en chino! No recomiendo

Excellent food good staff would recommend it to anyone staff are friendly and helpful nver waiting long for food

So so. 羊肉串又貴又不好吃。羊湯應該是放了人工粉料，太濃，不像真的羊湯。喝完了身體不舒服。

Chicken reminds me of quorn chicken. Dry and not flavoured. Food was too expensive for what it was..

Visited in December with friends, food was good and tasted okay. Service was strange. A few hours after being back home felt under the weather. Next day wasn’t off the toilet and called the doctors. Confirmed food poisoning from food consumed at that restaurant. 5 days of stomach cramps and pain. Avoid.

Friendly enough - from the outside. Waiters couldnt understand us. Food not great. Service severely lacking. Still havent got my vegetables.

The most disgusting meal I've ever had served which luckily I did not finish as those who did eat all had various degrees of what we believed was food poison. To post this I have to give a star rating so please ignore, if possible I would give it a minus

Sinceramente, no soy un gran admirador de la comida china, fui invitado aquí para una fiesta de amigos y honestamente puedo decir que es la mejor comida china que he probado en mi vida. El pescado picante que tuvimos no podría haber sido más agradable, las bolas de gambas con yema de huevo también iban a morir. El servicio fue muy bueno, obtuvimos todo lo que pedimos y el personal fue muy amable al explicar exactamente qué comida contenía. El karaoke fue muy divertido y volveré pronto.

Everything we ate was great and the customer service was excellent. The building is quite atmospheric with dimmed lighting. It even has karaoke rooms! My favourite dish was the sweet and sour fish.

Anoche, mis amigos y yo fuimos por primera vez a Moji. Estamos muy impresionados con las comidas! Eso es muy sabroso. Todos amamos las comidas. Solo un problema es que fuimos a la hora pico para cenar. Eso está esperando un poco más de tiempo para nuestro pedido.

Food served cold. When meals sent back they were put in the microwave. 2 1/2 hours later everyone still wasn’t fed. Majority of meals wrong or things missing. Chicken fried rice containing beef. Service was absolutely diabolical. Highly disappointed.

they said that it's a busy day and only 3tables were occupied. Can't believe it took 20min to order, took another 1 hour to get rice haha....

We've been coming regularly in the past four years and it's still our favourite go-to place for Chinese food. Authentic taste, friendly staff and reasonable prices!

I can’t recommend this place enough. We went for the hotpot and it was the best we have had in Newcastle. Anyone thinking about going here, do it. You will not be disappointed.

It is my friend and mine’s go to place whenever we feel like having chinese. The prices are reasonable and the food is good. Staffs are very welcoming. Usually we come for food and other times we’d go for karaoke after too

Visited this place a few times and the food are delicious with authentic Chinese food and especially the spicy one are the best.

The food is tasty and delicious! The price is very reasonable as the food come with great portion, not too much or less for a group of five person.

Good portion. Worth to come here. Food is delicious. The price is reasonable. The atmosphere is good.

Price is reasonable, atmosphere is good, food is also good. Quick and good service. Big portion of food.

It is really nice . Food hot and taste good. If you are looking at this comment,trust me you need to try it .

Quality food and nice service! The staffs here are very friendly, will recommend it to everyone........

This Chinese is just terrible. Ordered the chilli chicken, which is literally just batter, and there isn't even any chilli flavour coming through from the sauce on it. Even the egg fried rice tasted bland and awful. And it's not exactly cheap. I've barely ate any and I'm still hungry. Don't waste your money or time.

Ordered chilli chicken and chicken chow mein from deliveroo. DISGUSTING. Chilli chicken was just batter (seriously - it was) and the chow mein was similar in quality to super noodles only less honest. I didn't eat more than a taste of it, kicked off with deliveroo and got my money back. Went out to my local takeaway instead. I've eaten at the restaurant and it was fine, I have a feeling they have a different chef and kitchen for delivery. YUCK.

Food is very good ,we ordered a water boiled panga and xinjiang sauté spicy chicken, also a special milk tea.that all very very delicious

Ordered through deliveroo, the chilli chicken and chilli beef contained minimal meat was just the crispy batter

I ordered Spicy Grill Pork Ribs and Dan Dan Noodle via UberEats. The delivery service of UberEats was excellent but Moji gave wrong item. They gave me Fried Fish in sauce instead of Pork Ribs. I made a call to the restaurant. A girl picked up the phone couldn't speak English and didn't understand what I was trying to say. If you are running a restaurant in the UK. You should be better to listen, understand and speak some English. PLEASE!I didn't want to be hard on you but you kept saying 'sorry' and didn't give me any answer I expected. At least, you could pass the phone to anyone could speak English. I had a very disappointed dinner!

Went the first time and the food was alright. The waitress was polite enough despite having a poor command of English and not being able to understand what a customer is trying to say unless they speak Chinese. Went with my friend a few times later and the food was served cold each time. Tried asking and she said it's a cold dish. Who serves cold food? The other tables were served fresh hot food & the same waitress was rude as well. Once is fine, not repeatedly.

I went for my 34th birthday and booked an appropriately priced private karaoke room for after our meal....and I lucked out!The decor is beautiful. The food excellent, authentic and well priced, the staff attentive and professional. There is also huge price discount if you have a group of 10 and spend £100 between you, you get 2hrs karaoke free! And it's the karaoke rooms that are truly amazing! With incredible neon decor in the halls and then a room I can only describe as making me feel like a VIP (and so I should have, it was my birthday) all I can say to you is GO TO MOJI'S!

this place is a real gem very friendly and warming people the food is fresh and very tasty the service is spot on the restaurant has 2 dining areas and you can get up and do a bit of karaoke. great fun well done
