Mr Ping Restaurant in Southend-on-Sea

Ordere online via Just Eat, food arrived in super quick time. We ordered vegan salt + chilli beef, vegan kung po chicken, vegan mixed veg fried rice and vegan salt + chilli chicken. All food was very tasty, this place offers an excellent range of meat-free options.

Ordered off just eat , big tasty hot portions - came when it should and can reccomend. The singapore noodles where absolutely amazing.

hot , big portions - friendly driver

Great but forgot sweet and sour sauce

When we do order Chinese, we always order from u guys ... It's always great .. don't go anywhere else..

The food is good and delivery fast

Went to Mr Pings for All you can eat Sunday buffet.Plenty of choice, freshly cooked and very tasty. I like the idea that the food is brought to the table, and the service was great. There were five in my group and we all had a great time. My only criticism is that the decor needs an upgrade.

Delicious soup and prawn vegetables just very tasty. Thank you

Really low quality think the salt and pepper chips were reheated from day before, very expensive for quite basic items

Chip's were dry. Ribs were fatty. Noodles were ok but a bit greasy.

Excellent food, excellent service, one of the best Chinese takeaways in Southend!

First time on all you can eat and I have to say I was impressed food was really nice especially the veg soup my son had two. The food was hot and quick to be served. I would say the duck was nice but the portion was light. It's not cheap with drinks but a good night out for a treat.

Amazing food great quality highly recommended

This is my regular Chinese takeaway restaurant but last two meals not so good. Took a gamble and glad to say Mr Ping is much improved and the meal was great. Rice not clumped together, good portion sizes, delivered hot and within the time line.

Glad you are open early compared to other takeaways we could have dinner earlier and we are very satisfied now thank you

Delicious as always and perfect service. We love Mr Ping x

Said I qualified for free prawn crackers that didn’t turn up - rice noodles bland

Food was great, piping hot and really tasty. Great selection on their menu too

I didn't get the free prawn crackers promised in the promotion of spending £30 or it would have been 5*

Never again worst Chinese Iv ever had do not eat here!!! Rude lady won’t resolve the food issue either.

Despite just eat's terrible website giving the restaurant the wrong address. The food was on time and well worth the wait!

But it was delivered to my back gate and not my front door. if we come back then please find our front door!

Amazing food and service. Great vegan selection.

We would have liked to have sat at a bigger table .. we asked for a bigger table on arrival at 5pm only to he told they are fully booked...just as we finished our meal a family of 4 came in .. just a bit disappointed that they couldn't have moved us. Food was lovely as always and staff friendly and kind.

Delicious Vegan Chinese August 2024 My son in law just treated me and my wife to a Chinese takeaway from Mr Pings, we were a little unsure as it's generally hard to find good vegan alternatives. I was initially impressed with the amount of dishes they have listed on their menu! We asked for one dish not on their vegan list, and they advised that they couldn't 100% say that it was vegan (respect the honesty). We had vegan chicken balls with sweat & sour sauce, vegan chilli beef, rice, and rice noodles (made for us as they advised their normal noodles are made with egg) with veg. All in all, the food was amazing, very tasty, and we really appreciate their transparency. We will be back and are so happy that we've finally found a Chinese that does really good Vegan food, thank you Mr Pings! ✌️🌱💚🙏

Absolutely disgusting - nothing fresh , rice was slimey. 1 star is to much for this vile restaurant. Seaweed refried I would say days old - Avoid at all costs. !!!! Ordered and arrived in 11 mins!!!!

The delivery instructions weren’t followed

We hadn't been to Mr Pings in over 25 years! It had been a family favourite but we moved slightly out of the area and stopped visiting. I'm so glad we returned. The food is as excellent as we remembered, all the favourites plus some new dishes we were keen to try, such as chicken dumplings. Delicious. We had the £25 a head menu, as much as you can eat. Small dishes, but obviously you can reorder and reorder, all the food is hot and fresh. Drinks and desserts can soon add up, 4 of us, I had 2 half shandys, the bill was £200. Nice people run this restaurant and work there. The place is spotlessly clean. We had a lovely evening and came home happy and very full!

Lovely food, good size portions. Will order from here again next time we're in Southend.

We had this as a takeaway; The vegan prawn is really good, actually in the shape of prawn,with the pattern,as was the vegam chicken,in fact they have quite the range of vegan options, the sauce with them was good too. Affordable,too. Staff were friendly and accommodating

So much choice on their vegan menu! I had the sweet and sour “chicken” and the shredded chilli “beef” was so good! So nice to see proper vegan options on a Chinese menu! Looking forward to trying more!

Fantastic! As per usual all the time....

The only saving grace was the food. We got warm Dr pepper and no free prawn crackers as advertised. It was tasty but very expensive as well. Only a starter and main each and drinks at £15 per head plus service and delivery charge... Not terrible but not the best either.

Delivery driver was late, didn't call us, nothing, when I called they said they delivered to the wrong address, said they wouldn't refund but sent food out again, there's only one travelodge in the area! Driver made excuses it wasn't him, bs, food was bland, not worth the near two hour wait.

The shredded beef was dry and mainly batter - I detected no meat at all, and the chilli and salt were undetectable. The egg fried rice was plain, old, clumpy boiled rice with bits of egg in it. Both were tasteless, cold, dry and I couldn’t eat it.

The best sweet and sour chicken balls very nice

Spent a lot of money and no free items as advertised. Everything was cold. Chicken chow mien bland and greasy. Curry sauce lumpy and bland. Katsu taste like frozen and defrosted / was thick lumpy no flavour, barely any sauce too. Dreadful.

I have used Mr Pings before and eaten on their restaurant on numerous occasions, however, if this was my first time using them probably wouldn't return. Some of the meal was lovely and warm. Other parts were bland and cold.

Food was ok, was only warm on arrival. A lot of money for average food. Or just maybe not my cup of tea?!

The food is fantastic, lots of choices for vegetarians and vegans and the delivery is super fast. Will be using Mr Ping from now on.

Had takeaway. food was good but the chill crispy beef was just half a portion. Looked like someone had eaten half the dish.

LOVE the food, always order from here and it’s always amazing. Vegan options are superior and food tastes delish. Thank you mr ping!

never disappointed with this place

I was sent chicken not vegetarian tofu. I ate one piece I'm really upset

Lovely food as always! Missed one item from my order, phoned the restaurant and it was delivered quickly, well done Mr Pings!

Not only was it late, but the app said it was delivered at 20:05 when it wasn’t. Then when i submitted a claim for help, the delivery time changed to 20:50. And didn’t turn up until 21:00, and was like warm/ some items were cold

It was a lovely restaurant, we had takeaway and the food was amazing as it was freshly cooked when we ordered as if we were dining in the restaurant , top marks would recommend , best Chinese in Southchurch area 10/10

Very rude women on the phone when we didn't receive our full order. How they keep trading, I will never know. Avoid this restaurant Always been a fan up till. Now.

Great food and nice people A+++++

First time ordering from you and believe me when I say it will be the last. Ended up with a horrific case of food poisoning. Your establishment needs to be shut down.

I know we’re in a cost of living crisis but the cut backs from this place are crazy. We had hardly any meat in any of our dishes and 0 seasoning: flavourless . Really underwhelming. The spring rolls say meat but there wasn’t any in them.

Great food. Super quick delivery from the restaurants own delivery person. Only issue was chips were missing from order.

We had a family birthday at Mr. Pings, it was a lovely evening, the staff were very friendly and helpful, will definitely be going back.

The blandest chinese ive ever eaten!

I order from here almost weekly and today the food just wasn’t what it normally is, most of the order went in the bin, it was dry, tasteless and just not up to the usual standard, sad that this is another restaurant potentially going down the pan

I attended the restaurant for a surprise 60th for 22 people,they allowed us to come in and decorate in the afternoon, which was great. The whole dining experience was fantastic , the food was amazing and the vegan and veggie choice for a couple of our party was lovely. We had such an amazing night and all the staff were so welcoming. Thankyou

One of the best chow mein I’ve ever had, delicious!!

Delicious food delivered on time

The most disgusting Chinese Iv ever had in my life, AVOID AT ALL COSTS! The meat tastes not like meat everything was either really greasy or tasted weird it looked like I poured a glass of oil on everything. Only thing that was edible was prawn crackers so basically paid £60 for a bag of crackers as everything wasn’t edible lucky me.

Ribs was disgusting and noddles greasy prawns were rubber and very expensive 63 pounds

Will never order from here again - absolutely worst Chinese we’ve ever tasted. Chicken chow mien tasted only of salt. Chicken rice was bland no flavour, the chicken was also questionable? Chips cold soggy / undercooked. The prawn balls hard and over cooked. The spring rolls were “ok”. Prawn crackers all broken. Sweet & sour sauce had a strange taste. Curry sauce was “ok”. Very expensive order - big waste of money.

Delicious food as always. The food came out warm and quickly. Friendly service. The portion sizes are just the right amount.

chicken chow mein tasted like sweat.

Great service as always, thank you

There was a slight issue with the order but they couldn’t have been quicker to rectify it. The food was amazing.

We order from this Chinese every week the food is always amazing however tonight my mum got chicken balls instead of prawn she did not tell me until I got in 2 hrs later she does not eat meat so she left them called restaurant told me the chief said he put prawn balls in I told them that's not the case it had p on bag but chicken inside they offered new but expected me to go pick up so my mum has just got curry sauce and noodles they have said I can have a credit for next time 😢not great

Pretty bland, salt and pepper chips were just heavily salted chips

Order was very late, some kind of error. When it finally arrived, it wasn’t really tasty, salt and chilli chips were cold and plain. Kung-po chicken also very bland, won’t be bothering again.

Great food, but got the wrong drink. ask for diet coke, got original which I couldn't drink as I'm diabetic, I gave it away

Ordered the veggie/vegan options loads before and was really tasty, ordered the same dishes this evening and they’ve changed the meat alternatives, it was extremely bland and chewy and dry, I couldn’t even finish it. Very disappointed

Despite the long wait it was a Saturday night, the food was still hot & good quality. The food wasn’t greasy at all which it can be from some other places. Will order again!

Brilliant driver came in the estimated time and very delicious food 😋😋😋

Good but they forgot the prawn crackers

There was no beef in the chilli beef. Not nice

It's Saturday night so I understand they are busy. Food was super tasty as always. Will absolutely recommend and definitely be ordering again in the future

Food was all really nice, hot on arrival, free prawn crackers over £30 a bit much though. Not ideal if ordering for yourself, but perfect for family orders

estimated deliver was 35 minutes and it arrived 2 hours after ordering. No tracking available and when I phoned they were not helpful, no apology and just kept saying will be there soon. Food arrived luke warm verging on cold. Not happy!

very poor oderd at half 7 pm didn't get my food till 9pm not good at all

The time kept changing and it took ages

Wasn't particularly hot and there were no prawn crackers!!!

Food was late and arrived cold

Items missing. Phoned restaurant. Told me to look again in the bag. Checked with chefs who said it was in the bag. It wasn’t. I insisted and they delivered 20 minutes later. Food wasn’t great. Will not be ordering again.

Very nice I do brownies with 17 girls we order this for the Chinese new year very lovely and quick delivery

Awful. 9 quid for 7 teriyaki prawns. tasteless Noodles with anemic looking duck. Won't order from her ever again

Stir fried plain udon(just udon with bean sprouts and onion) was only filling up 3/4 or less of the take away container despite charging £7. Felt a bit cheated.

Food wasn’t even what we ordered , was so dry too . Would never use them again

Always good quality, great portions and hot. They’ve never been late or missed any items in the order. :) definitely recommend.

Mr Pings is my absolute favourite Chinese! I’ve introduced new people and they have left their previous Chinese and now use here as their regular! I always opt for the veggie / vegan versions and Pings absolutely smashed it for me, cannot get a better menu. Their stir fried broccoli and garlic is always spot on and I love feeling a slither of health when indulging in a Chinese haha! This is not a rubbish , bog standard Chinese. Their food has always been good quality.

Very quick delivery, clearly everything cooked to order this time. If I had to be really picky then beef chow mein was a little light on the beef aspect. Best in a long while from here. 9/10 today

I have ordered a delivery from here many times now, and the food is always very good.

Fast delivery and amazing food

Some of the food was ok but sizzling steak Was not nice very chewy 10% service charge for 4 people was ridiculous when we spent so much money and we was not aware of this charge before we sat down to eat. Staff were quite rude when we brought this up. I would never eat here again

Poor customer service. Very unhelpful. Paid for an order to return and collect. Had an issue and called to ask if they would deliver. House would the road behind the restaurant. Tuesday evening so not a busy night and staff refused. Very poor efforts. Food isn’t great but only one open

Best Chinese in Southend, and their Singapore rice noodles are lovely a spicy . Very fresh all of it . Wish they shredded the duck though

Quality food but lacked a bit of kick, Where were the prawn crackers, free over £30????

Delivery was quick, Food was nice but meat dishes were small portions. Bigger issue was I ordered a a chicken chow mein and had no chicken so was left with plain noodles.

Good food, do not rely on the restaurant saying its out for delivery as our food arrived before it even said being prepared.

Duck was all fat no meat put it straight in the bin.

We went for the all you can eat option which was £25 each BUT we were told if we left any food we would be charged £5 each so that limited what we ordered and I like Chinese food so much as I like the variety so this limited that and we felt limited in what we could order as we were so worried about waste! The food itself was very nice and we accompanied it with two glasses of Diet Coke each which was as flat as flat can be, rather warm and was clearly out of a large bottle but didn’t say anything about I wish I had as when we got the bill it was £75!!!!! OUT DRINKS WERE £4.50 EACH!!!! And then 20% service charge making them £4.95 each for a flat, out of a 1.5 litre bottle warm Diet Coke! Well I was so shocked I nearly fell of my chair!! It’s a shame as the food was nice but I felt mugged of by the drinks prices and it left a nasty taste in my mouth!

Food was greasy. Vegetable spring rolls, chicken balls & chowmein didn’t taste very nice at all. £60 for no one to eat any of it !!!
