Visiting from overseas. Four of us had 4 different mains and egg fried rice. Absolutely delicious, fresh and tasty. Good sized portions and fair price.

Never had a bad meal from here, always cooked fresh, always hot good portion sizes, Staff are friendly and waiting times arent that bad (Saturday evening can be busy, I'd recommend ordering by telephone ) the only draw backs are it's a cash only establishment & not on JE, UE or any other delvery platforms.

Great food, whether Chinese or traditional English 'chippy' style (the best gravy!) A very clean and long established take away. Edited 12/5/23: Was very disappointed to have been ignored and forgotten in the queue, and then waited in an empty shop while they chatted amongst each other, only for them to pay attention to serve the next person who walked in. Service and atmosphere stars reduced accordingly.

Peanut satay skewers was more like chicken in gravy and were cold. Rice was dry but salt and pepper chips were ok. No free prawn crackers after spending £20+. Better Chinese’ around the area

I haven't been for a while, it used to be great when the old owner had it. Disgrace now. Singapore vermicelli should be spicey, it was bland and tasteless. Stir fried Beef and vegetables with frozen carrots and the beef had been boiled in the juice. Very very poor, so my custom is lost to this place. What a waste of money.

Terrible food, first time I've had food from here, threw it away. The fat used to cook my food was rancid. Don't know how long they have been using it. The chips were hard. Fish cake for my grandson was brown inside. Don't know what the hygiene rating is but this place needs investigating by hygiene inspector's. If you work there, how would you not know that you were serving bad food, cooked in old oil. Why would you sell brown fishcakes, when fish is white 🤔

I had food there and couldn’t believe my eyes. The food was food. Absolutely shocking that the food was good. Couldn’t bare to have another mouthful of that beautiful cuisine. Been going here for 14 years and it was awful. So good it made me throw it. Brings a tear to my eyes. Never stepping a foot in that shop again. The people weren’t nice but opened up eventually. Showing their true colours. They had a dog. Would recommend ordering from here.

Food was ok not the best but I was waiting for my delivery for 3 hours and I understand the current situation with the virus. However, we were told 8:30pm (we ordered at 8:00). Then it got to 20:45 and we were told 21:25 then it came to 21:45 and there was no sign of the delivery and we could call the place either. Food finally arrived at 22:00

Ok this used to be THE best Chinese around, talking 10 years ago or more though. Really sad it’s gone downhill. Tastes pretty good but first of all: cash only? Really? Secondly: portions are WAY too small. Thirdly: no complementary prawn crackers, oh no you didn’t! Prob won’t go here again.

I've been going here for years and never had a bad meal yet, but recently when my wife got a takeaway and had a meal for herself and when she got home her meal was nothing like what she'd ordered so as we live a couple of miles away i suggested taking a photo of it and when we next go to explain with the help from the photo what they'd done, but when she went back all she got was a lot of shouting and told she got what she ordered and thats that! Not the best customer service!!! Some training required i think! You keep this attitude up and you will be loosing more customers other than us! Pathetic!

When Bob ran this place it was spot on. But as it changed hands the people have changed a lot of the dishes I liked for example the satay which now blows your mouth off. So no longer enjoyable. Normally I would be using this place 2 times a week but don't go as often now. It's mainly for the chippy part and not the Chinese part. It's a shame. I haven't managed to find another place to use. So Chinese is out for a bit.

The fact that everyone is polite and extremely knowledgeable about the food they cook. If you want something special they will try their hardest to make it for you. Hot n sour soup is what we like when feeling ill. It's not on their menu but if you ask nicely they will cook it for you. Well done everyone.

We have been visiting new taste house in Langley mill for 20+ years and this place as always been fantastic, we've never had one complaint and we have visited regularly until we called this evening 30th July, first of all they messed our order up then what a disappointment the food was, it wasn't to its normal high standard so I rang them back to ask it had gone under new management and the lady said yes but no signs were up to say so, I'm afraid we won't be visiting again in a hurry, it's such a shame after all those years of brilliant food and service.. Sorry to see you go Bob 😀

I have been using this take away for many years and I think it's the very best Chinese food in the Midlands if not the county. I have tried others but this is number one, the food and service is always top notch and if you are in the area you must give it a try.

We like our Chinese to have a bit of Spice rather than being bland. Singapore vermicelli noodles and Szechuan chicken are our favourites. Just over 8 pounds for the two and large portions

I have eaten at River Gardens for many years. We still enjoy a delivered meal. But to eat in- it was an awful experience this time. Tatty, curled noticed on the doors and barrier glass up at the bar makes it feel rather unwelcoming. The decor is rather tired, but also tatty and dirty in places. I understand paying up front - but it is not usual and it is not undertaken smoothly - the waiting staff seen rather uncomfortable. The warming plate arrived, stacked with plates and cutlery. And left like that. No one set out the table. Similarly, when the duck arrived with its trimmings, they were left stacked in the plate too. Most of the food was ok - but the crispy duck was rather dry, tough and did not seem hot or fresh. Served as chunks rather than shreds. Finally - when asking for the top up bill, I would expect a bill, to check, then pay. But no - just a card machine and this is how much it is. And to be honest, the cost completely outweighed the experience. The waiting staff seemed inexperienced, did not interact well and did not perform what I consider the most basic of service tasks. I will stick to a delivery order next time. Please sort things out River Gardens- I want to come back and enjoy the evening.
