Collected a takeaway - King prawn fried rice, curry sauce chips, and salt & pepper spare ribs with curry sauce and chips. The chips were tasteless and like cardboard, the curry sauce had a weird, sweet aniseed taste, and the prawns were few and far between, AND tasteless. More expensive than wed normally pay, too. Won't be returning.

Last night we had a family gathering (all ages) of 9 people. We ordered a delivered takeaway costing under £9 per person, including delivery. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed every morsel. Not one bad comment from anyone and service excellent. Well done the New Delight. It was a delight for us. Tate family

We go here every week the curry sauce is the best i have tasted the onions so crunchy. Hubby always goes for the chow mein which is really tasty. I always have the chicken curry or chicken fried rice and a carton of curry sauce. The portion sizes are good. I can certainly reccomend it.

Can only say that this meal for the two of us was average at best. King Prawn with Fried rice and Sweet and sour sauce. { my wife says was quite nice but not as she was expecting in terms of presentation.} l had Beef curry with egg fried rice. The rice l found to be quite globby and the curry was not to my liking and was like no other beef curry l have had before. It was edible but seemed to have a very strange type of gravy with it. On the plus side, the Prawn Crackers which we did not expect were the best we have ever had. So - quite a mixed review. Will not be rushing back anytime soon. WE have been spoilt in the past { not in the last year} with the quality of Chinese food from The Golden Sun in Mablethorpe, but it changed hands and apparently is not like before.

We were visiting Sutton On Sea and was recommend to this Chinese. We decided to give it a try. We ordered by phone and told it was £1.00 extra for delivery. We spent about £23.00 We did wait an hour but they did say it would take approximately and hour. We were very pleasantly surprised we loved all the flavours and the food was fantastic piping hot. In fact we both said it's the best we've had in ages. We will be having our next when we are in the area again.

Ordered from delights tonight, spent over £20 for 3 of us. Came around an hour later and all looked great! Started eating my noddles and felt something sharp in my mouth, ended up pulling at least 2inches of silver wire out.. absolutely disgusting Rang and told them what I’d found and they offered to give us some more noddles. No way was we eating anything from there. Asked for a full refund as plates were full and after waiting 5 minuets they told us to put all food back and they’d collect and give us money back. Hour later I had to ring again and wait a further 20 mins for someone to come. Not once did anyone apologise and when I tried to show the man the wire he wouldn’t look and just chucked us money back, terrible service and will definitely not be going back, how there open I don’t no

Get a takeaway from New Delight about once a month & over the last year the food has got better & better. Usually order 5 or 6 dishes which does us 2 or 3 meals. Everything cooked just right & very tasty too. Favourites are chicken satay (lovely sauce) beef in black bean & sweet & sour chicken Cantonese style. Can't comment on delivery service, always order by phone & pickup. Only down side is they only take cash.

Usually good food but after waiting an hr for delivery to find items missing I rang to let them know- was told it would be sent out- took another hour to arrive then tried to charge me for it- tried explaining to the driver - same one as before- that it had already been paid for but he was rude and unhelpful- rang new delight to try and resolve but was pointless as he’d already stormed off and they tried to say it hadn’t been paid for before- the price I paid added up to what I ordered, they read the order back confirming everything and they missed the item off the delivery- fail to see y I should wait 2hrs, pay twice for an item and then pay the additional delivery cost too!

We waited under an hour, after being told 20-25 minutes, and left with NO FOOD, a complete waste of an hour. Have you ever known a chef or takeaway staff not know how long their food will take to cook? Of course they know. They just keep taking orders knowing that some people will wait for two hours and only grumble, whereas others haven't got time to stand or sit in a takeaway and will ask for a refund, like I did. Only use New Delight if you're prepared to have your evening wasted. Irresponsible and I'll never, ever waste my time with this takeaway again.

Stuck for choice on a Friday night in March, we checked out the menu in the window and saw a few people waiting. Was this a good sign or just that every where was pretty much closed?Anyway, we chose our dishes that turned out to be piping hot and fresh, despite the 5 minutes of so walk back to our accommodation.All were very tasty and plentiful but I've marked down one star as there was far too much chilli in the Pad Thai to warrant a one chilli rating.plus I asked for chicken only and it was mixed meat and prawn. Unfortunately, I had to leave it and shared my husband's wandering dragon, which was delicious.Other than that, a great takeout

Meal with a local friend, ordered over the phone at 5:15 pm and delivered at 6:30. Started eating immediately but all the meals cold - do they wait until they have enough bulk meals to deliver locally? Food awful, worst we have ever eaten, sauces in small tubs pure chemicals, complimentary chicken wings probably re-cooked, as inedible. I had beef strips which tasted like pork scratchings, so overcooked. Our friend seemed to like it though. Not for us, never again.

We were stood with an hour (couldn't get back to the counter due to the voloume of customers coming into order). Were told it was still being cooked. In the mean time other people in front of us had been waiting an hour and half, people had been given wrong orders and people had been over charged. I understand they were busy but still they carried on taking order for collection and delivery and telling them it was only a half hour wait. I eventually managed to grab a delivery driver to get us our money back. Ended up going to a chinese in Mablethorpe who sorted out order in 20minutes. WHAT A WASTE OF A SATURDAY NIGHT

We visited Sutton for a long weekend, on the Saturday we decided to order a takeaway from here, we called the order in at 19:20 and was told it would be an hour, at 20:30 I called to chase, only to be told it would be another hour, the reason they gave was that they had got busy, we ended up cancelling the order and ordering from somewhere else. The following night we thought that we would place an order with them for collection instead of having it delivered, I did this at 19:05 and was told it would be ready in 20 mins, they never asked for a name. I got there at 19:30, there were 4 other people waiting and the lady kept bringing bags of food out and asking people if it was theirs, after about 15 mins of waiting I was asked if I had ordered and if what??? I told the lady, there was clearly no more takeaways ready for collection so she asked the girl taking the phone orders and my order was still under the telephone, I asked how much longer and she replied, 10 mins. I waited and finally got my food, although the food was quite nice, and hot seen as though they had just cooked it, maybe they should ask for a name when taking telephone orders, that way they will know who ordered what !!!!!! Will not be using them again if I return tonSutton on Sea. Disappointed!!!

It was our last night on holiday when we decided on Chinese take out for our meal. We had been searching high and low for a place that was dog friendly, but couldn't find a place anywhere that allowed dogs and was open at 5/6PM at night. The safest option was to grab a take out and take it back to our tent.The shop was very busy that night, packed with people ordering food all stood or sat around in the tiny space. They had managed the crowd very well and had given out order numbers for everyone to help keep track. We ordered our food and it was a little wait, but it was to be expected. The staff were very polite and friendly and didn't seem stressed at all. I was impressed.When we got back to the tent we unpacked our food and dished it out. I had ordered a chicken chow mein and a separate carton of black bean sauce. I was disappointed when I opened up the sauce to sea chilli in it, one of my pet peeves in black bean sauce! However, I was very pleasantly surprised that it didn't overpower the flavour like most places when they add it. The chicken chow mein had been cooked to perfection with a slight char to the noodles to give it that lovely deep flavour and the chicken was very good quality.My fiance had ordered some chicken balls and I tried one and was transported back to my childhood when we used to order Chinese take out on very rare occasions. A local shop where I live used to do sweet and sour pork balls that had a very distinctive batter flavour and this was identical. It was amazing!I HIGHLY recommend giving the food here a try.

Which in all took us 30 mins went to pick up food but had to wait a extra 20 mins for the food ... so by time we got back to eat are chips for the kids was cold... Please a note to the owner... Please read other comments and do something with the ordering service. Maybe have a word with other local businesses to see if there is away you you can hurry the service up a bit... that would make The New Delight House a fantastic place to eat

While on a recent trip to sutton on sea we decided that we wanted chinese takeaway. As new delight house was one of the menus we had in our caravan we decide to give me a try. I called our order in and we collected it about 25 minutes later, although of course they do you deliver The food was lovely, not too expensive and certainly some of the best chinese food we have had. Particularly their salt and chilli chips. Highly recommended, will definitely go again.

This is our go-to chinese takeaway when we are at our caravan. It normally doesn't disappoint, but our order took ages to be ready this time. They were very busy (Saturday night) and the woman on the phone was recommending a 1hr 30min wait! We were told to pick up our meal at 5.30, but we didn't get it until 6.15. The food was really tasty when we finally got to eat it, but it didn't seem worth the wait. It was a shame because, as I said, they are normally very good.

I've used this take-away a number of times and never had a bad meal, however, as other reviewers have said, your order may take a lot longer to arrive than you expected. I telephoned my order through (it was a busy bank holiday Friday night) and was told my food would be ready to collect at 5:45pm. When I arrived, they had not even begun cooking it. I am used to having a take-away having your order cooked, warm and ready to go at the given time. I had to wait an additional 40 minutes. I placed my order within 15 minutes of the place opening - I imagine as the night progresses the wait gets longer and longer.

Live locally and use this Chinese takeaway regularly. As other reviews have said, the food is brilliant, good sized portions, fantastic variety of dishes and the salt and chilli chips are simply AMAZING. The only down side is the service, you can phone an order through to collect for 7pm and when you get there they just start cooking it so usually waiting an extra 20mins! The staff are friendly and try there best but think some sort of system needs to be put in place.

First time trying this one! Gave my order 7ish told 10 to 15 mins so went for a smoke! after smoke read some newspapers then watched the comings and goings!! 2 customers arrived to be told they couldn't find their order! others who had ordered by phone still there when I eventually left at 8pm!!!! asked if I wanted free wings or prawn crackers? I said wings but got crackers!!! they had no change in the till so if you didn't have the right money you got a handful of coins??? got home and had to reheat my meal cos it was luke warm and I do like hot food HOT!!! overall end result???? FANTASTIC one of the best Chinese take aways I have eaten!!! large portions and really good prices!! If only they can sort themselves out it will be top notch??? but I will go again!!! when Iam not in a hurry!!!

The food here is lovely! It's just a shame you have to wait so long! Many times I've placed an order for delivery and each time the wait has been over and hour! Collection is just as bad they tell you it will be 20 mins, get there and it's another half hour wait, they start cooking it when you arrive! Much prefer the old owners.

We have been visiting the area for many years - and have always been a little sad at the quality of the take away food that is available. We are always looking for something good. Yippee. Found it. Fresh, tasty, quickly prepared and something for everyone. The Thai options are a great break from the norm. Sesame toast is thick with prawn. My girls love the chicken chow mein. Staff were friendly and very helpful.This is my first review on trip adviser ( even though i use is all the time!) - and i was determined to find out how to do it when i saw some people being less than fair about what is a great place. Try if for yourselves.

I placed an order for 20.00pm arrived over 30 mins late, it was cold, dry, tasteless, I asked for NO onion in my chowmein but got it anyway, I asked for pineapple fritters which I didn't get, AND ONLY not even half a tub of curry sauce, and when I rang and enquired about my order, I found him very rude, arrogant , obnoxious and last of all sarcastic:- as I told him the chips was dry, he replied " are they meant to be watery" all I can say is no recommendation for your establishment!

We noticed the poor reviews seemed to be for deliveries, so we drove into town and ordered and collected. It was fine, the staff were friendly, prices good, and the food was great, to be honest. Portion sizes were generous.

Very rude staff that when I rung to see where my order was after id been waiting 2 & half hours he told me that people had been waiting 3 & half hours, he was very rude & put the phone down on me I will NEVER use this place again & would warn others against it too. I couldn't even say if the food was nice or not as the very rude staff canceled my order!!!!! WORST TAKEAWAY EVER!!!!!!!!

Despite a few dodgy comments decided to form my own opinion. Really good tasty food. Large portions, full of flavour, piping hot and served with a smile, what more do you want.

We live in Crabtree Lane, Sutton on Sea, and have never had a bad meal from here, also we know people living 8 miles from here, bypass their local chinese in favour of this chinese. The spring rolls are the best we have ever had,large and full of prawns etc, and we love their special sweet and sour balls. They also send very generous portions with plenty of meat in them and everything we have tried has been very tasty. We do know from the lad that does their deliveries, that some people object to paying £1 for having their meal delivered, and perhaps this is the reason for the bad reviews on here. Come on, if you have a meal in a restaurant you pay more for it and leave a tip, so whats the problem with paying £1 to cover the guys wages and petrol, so you can eat in the comfort of your own home, and get out of cooking for a night.

We live in Sutton on sea, love our Chinese food and had our fair share of bad experiences with takeaways, however we order from here once a week, telephone order and we collect, lady on counters English isn't brilliant but she's always welcomed us with a friendly hello, smile and asks how we all are! The Thai curries creamy, hot! And filled well, I personally love the special curry, gets loads of mixed meat and the prawns are huge, nice thick sauce and good portions, the Szechuan crispy chicken is crammed always, sorry to read the other negative reviews, each to their own likes and dislikes but as a lover of food I've tasted worse, the Chinese in mablethorpe was dire hence why it closed down! We order every time here and have always got our food on time.

To be honest it seems this place keeps going by tourism as there's no competition to kick their axxxx, as with the rest of the takeaways here,that's why it's so dire, buyer beware very inconsistent and poor quality, better to get a cooked chicken from Spar or order from further away until these places start putting customers first.

Been for takeaways before and I understand their English is minimal but they make no apologies for this and come across as rude. Ordered a takeaway for my family for 7.30, arrived at 7.30 to pick it up and had to wait until 7.50 until it was ready! No explanation. Got home to find 2 of the 3 dishes, chicken in lemon sauce and duck in plum sauce were both small portions of meat with huge portions of pineapple stuffed into the container, now I like pineapple but it was a ridiculous cover up for the small amount of meat. Won't use again.

Had food from this take away before. The food certainly was not upto much and staff not helpul whatsoever ? To give them the benefit of the doubt we telephoned for a take away ! After the women had took our full details, I ordered the meal to be delivered ! Only to be told in no uncertain terms I wasnt paying enough and i should be ordering more food ?? Do they want buisness ?? So if you want mediocre food and to be told by ignorant staff (or owners) your not ordering what they want ! We recommend you avoid this place ! They do not deserve your hard earned money ?

Tried The golden Mill as we have a lodge on a nearby caravan park, What more can I say................Absolutely blown away with the quality of the food from this family run restaurant. We Called in, Placed our order and waited, The order phone was ringing none stop, The que for food was out the door. We had to wait 20 mins for our food, was it worth the wait, OMG yes. Best chinese we have had in 3 years. We have been twice now and its been amazing every time. Please be prepared to wait for your order as everything is cooked fresh. They do not do delivery, otherwise they would need 5 delivery drivers !!!. Call in the Bell hotel for a beer while you wait, The family spend all afternoon preparing the food so you know its fresh. Don't rely on my words, Go and try it out!!(but not too often as we will have to wait 25 mins LOL)

First of all we tried the Chinese takeaway 2 doors down and it was so bad that we felt cheated of our 1 night to have Chinese takeaway so a few days later we tried here. Ordered the exact same thing as the other place and It was infinitely better here! The chow mein was amazing, the satay sauce, perfect and the salt and pepper chicken was delicious. The only downside for us is that we were on holiday so it's a bit of a drive from Nottingham unfortunately :( haha.

I've had many takeaways over many years (20+ years) from the Canton House, but recently the quality of food has left me disappointed and on one occasion was nearly inedible. Most recent experiences include..... [35] Spare Ribs in Black Bean Sauce: Only 5 overcooked (Black in places) ribs. Very poor meat content (All bones) with NO black bean sauce. The meat DID fall off the bone but too dry to chew. [92] Vegetable Curry with fried rice: Bright orange, salty, grainy, earthy and 5-spice flavoured runny curry soup with vegetables & chewy bamboo shoots. [37a] King Prawn with Green peppers & Black Bean Sauce: Only 8 or 9 King prawns, green and red peppers, carrots and onions in a cornflour rich & VERY VERY salty runny black bean sauce. [40a] Beef King Do: Very chewy beef with undercooked strips of onion, red & green peppers, carrots and PINEAPPLE CHUNKS??? in a VERY sweet red sauce. Not sure what it's supposed to be. . [14] Pancake Roll: Far TOO GREASY and soggy batter. Covered everything in the bag with oil. Nice crunchy beansprouts, but only 2 little prawns. Furthermore all the main dishes are served in smaller plastic containers (they used to be deeper). Attention to detail with flavour, consistency and food quality, I found lacking on occasions. On the plus side, the service has always been good though. COME ON CANTON HOUSE..... YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THIS.
