New World in Basildon

First time I’ve ordered from here as my other Chinese takeaway was close and unfortunately probably will be the last, I don’t like giving bad reviews, but I can honestly say it was the most flavourless plate of Chinese food I’ve had in a long while, Need to up your game and add some flavour

Great food always. Can get busy at weekends food is always fresh phone early and get your food delivered at a time that suits. Don't forget to tip the drivers as they do the tippers first 😉

Don't order as soon as they open for delivery straight away as always find prawn balls are soft and crispy chilli beef is chewy asif its from the night before.order later and foods quite nice but portions are terrible all fall of sauce and veg and little meat.

Rude on the phone when trying to order home delivery. Decided not to order.

No better and no worse than any other similar place in the Wickford area

Good food. Getting through on the phone is very difficult espically on a Friday night and if you want delivery then it is normally over a hour wait. The lady who takes the orders is an awful person who is rude and has a horrible attitude. If there was anither Chinese in Wickford that was nearly as good as New World I. Would never use the place again because of her.

Very rude lady on the phone. Gave us the wrong order and blamed it on us.

We ordered some kin do spare ribs only to find that we had been given bbq spare ribs instead! We contacted them straight away and explained what had happened, they said not to worry that the next time we ordered they would give us the kin do ribs free of charge, my partner has gone in there to order food today only to be told that they would not honour their offer of free of charge and that we are lying!!!! They clearly don’t care about their customers and to accuse us of lying is absolutely disgusting behaviour! Make sure you check your food people as they care about their customers who spend their hard earned money!

We've had good and bad. Wouldn't be first choice. Edit - just saw this pop up on my history, how times have changed. Simply the best Chinese in town (in quite a few towns I would wager). Proper diced chicken used in dishes as opposed bought in pre-processed rubbish you get everywhere else. It can be difficult to get through on the phone sometimes but that's evidence of the quality and popularity of the place.

Our meal was ok but nothing special

Ordered our food and took over 2 hours to arrive!!

Terrible. Ordered ov6e £80 of food. Three separate orders. Tried to charge a £6 delivery charge as one order was "under threshold". Avoid. Scamming con merchants. Rude staff as well.

Great food and service. Meal for one extremely generous and well priced

I’m actually not a great lover of Chinese takeaway food probably due to all the really bad ones in Wickford but having said that the New World is easily the best one out there Unless it’s from there my wife won’t have one

Ordered food from new world yesterday and the lady on the phone was very rude, but because they are extremely busy they don't care! They have enough custom so they don't need to be polite, Food was ok but the ladies attitude made this a bed evening. I hope people read this and avoid this venue.

The staff was very rude..extremely rude. Will not be ordering from here again.

Waited 1 hour 45 minutes ( after being told 50 mins when i called to order ) to receive re warmed yet still cold chips, veg pancake roll under cooked and stone cold, cold chow main, over cooked egg fried rice with no egg, sweet and sour sauce with no taste at all and bbq sauce that was unedable looked like jelly. I would stear clear of thos take away not worth ted wait or the money or the rude delivey person

I realy enjoy food over here. Never had a bad meal. Recommended

Very. Nice. Place. To. Have. Some. Food.

restaurant is very rude. only thing i enjoyed was their black bean sauce but even that was too sweet. gave me the wrong things so i asked for a refund and they said okay but still have not received that refund two weeks later. called them and they said it has gone through when it actually hasn’t since i still do not have it. very unhappy

Tried for 30 minutes but they never answer there phone, pizza for me now

Love this Chinese, food is always spot on, it does take ages to get through to place your order and deliveries lately take about 2 hours to arrive so factor this in when ordering.

Very bad don't get your meal on time waited over an hour for delivery that's not good at all. Never answer the phone and wait to long for call back. Will get a meal else wear next time not good enough

This Chinese is the BEST in the area!! The food is spot on every time, it’s always hot, I’ve had most things off the menu and I’ve loved everything, the 2hr wait is sooo worth it, some say they can never get through, I ring one after the other about 20 times and I get through and WOW is it worth it, the salt and chilli prawns are soo nice and the chicken version, Singapore noodles omg I could go on. Honestly best chines ever!!

Food excellent, women serving miserable

Nice food but service is slow and can never get through on the phone. Trick is to turn up in person and ask for it to be delivered

Ordered my first take away from there tonight, was happy with it, defo order from there again

Beautiful food very nice people

Best Chinese in Wickford. Top class!!

Had food from here last night and it was excellent piping hot excellent pancake rolls best in Wickford Thank you New World for your good service.

Nice food never been disappointed but order early as it gets very busy

On the phone I ordered chop sticks. When collected we paid and realised that the chopsticks were not in the bag. I asked and she said she wanted to show them to me. Which I thought was weird. I chose the £1 wooden ones. She then refused to charge me £1 on my card as I didn't have cash. It was her mistake and she wouldn't give them for free. So we left without chop sticks and we will NOT be returning. She couldn't give us cheap chopsticks for free?? How ridiculous!!!

Good food and reasonably priced.

Been using new world for several years now, always ring and preorder so you know you’re almost guaranteed the time you would like. Never had a bad dish - crispy shredded chilli beef is a favourite in our house and has been spot on every time!

Been coming here for about 17 years now. Love it. Wouldn't go anywhere else for a Chinese food takeaway. Difficult to say favourite but always have salt n chilli chicken, kung po chicken and s&s king prawn balls...delicious!!

Very very good value for money.. Don't get me wrong it's nothing to shout from the roofs about.. But for what you pay its a very good Chinese takeaway

We are not great Chinese food eaters preferring Indian but every now and again it makes a nice change. All our friends have been singing the praises of New World, a takeaway that's been in Wickford as long as I have! so we decided to give it a try. They do deliver so that's a bonus but I couldn't find a website with a menu so we had to guess the standard fare. It took over 1 hour to arrive from a 6 o'clock order time but the food was hot and tasty and not at all 'gloopy'. so ok with us.

Always great food. You have to wait between 40-60 minutes but it’s worth the wait, freshly cooked food delivered to your door brilliant!

Good value for money and food isn’t bad. But .. The lady who took my order was rude. I was told it would take 1 and a half hours to 1 hour 45 mins to come, which is fine but it was over 2 hours late. It wasn’t hot at all when I got to eat it and my order was wrong.

We have been customers of this takeaway since it was Lucky house, many many years ago. The pancake rolls are the best ever. The food good and no complaints. However trying to get sonebody to answer the phone to order a delivery on a Saturday evening is something the owner needs to look into. Waiting nearly 2 hours just for somebody to answer the phone is unsatisfactory. The young girl works very hard and spends many hours answering the phone for deliveries but there needs to be a second phone number and another Person answering the phone. Now the Lon Wah opposite is a takeaway only (Who have two phone numbers) and more staff, there will be much competition.

The food is very good, they were very busy but didnt have to wait too long.

Probably the best sauce in Wickford for a Chinese and also good value. Waiting times can be long depending when you go / order and I would like to see a larger portion size, particularly on the meat / sauce portion vs. the rice. Not the best in Wickford overall, but certainly one I would return to.

Best Chinese take away in Wickford, never had a bad meal.

Exelant place to get a takaway

food was ok delivery was very fast though and food was hot when it came hot and sour soup was the best thing in the order.

Best Chinese in wickford never had a dish

Been eating takeaway's from the New World since 2001. It has steadily gone down. Last Saturday I had to throw £22.10 worth of bad, tasteless food in the bin. I will never go there again.

The food is always good, the service very fast and the prices are reasonable. You can be expected to wait from 5 to 10 minutes on a normal day or up to 40 on an extremely busy day.

We have used this take a way for years, and we have never had a bad or disappointed meal. It is also responsible, gets very busy on most night so is advisable to phone, and order first.

best place in wickford to get your chinesse

Never had a bad meal yet. Been using it for 3years.

Ist time we’ve used this takeaway won’t be the last! The food arrived 20 mins from ordering food was piping hot and delicious! To be honest I’ve driven past the shop many times and hadn’t even realised it was a Chinese ! would imagine a lot of people have done the same so I would change the sign definitely although with food like that I would imagine they’re doing very well.

Lovely food.Never had a bad meal.👍👍👍

Awesome food, with good prices. Would recommend

Order from them last wk and food was ok if you want to pay premium prices for average food. Wickford as far Chinese takeaway is concerned good luck

Our favourite Chinese takeaway. Great menu, excellent prices and best delivery drivers. Food always hot when it arrives.

Terrible, probably one of the worst meals I've had in a long time. Massively over priced for the quality of food, go to a restaurant instead! Crispy shredded beef burnt, well over cooked dry and bitter. Every dish ordered was just not nice at all, topped with the price a very bitter taste left in my mouth.

I have tried all the chinese takeaways in Wickford new world by far is the best would recommend food always hot and tasty

For years we have had our Chinese Take Away from New World, and we have always been 100% Happy with our Meal, I Recommend New World to everyone and I'm sure you will all be very Happy 😃

Been using this Chinese take away for years, just had meal delivered and I can honestly say worse food ever. I asked for prawn balls and got chicken, so we thought oh well we will try the chicken balls, well the chicken had a vile sour taste. Then the special fried rice was terrible, dry and no tastes. Ribs in sauce, the sauce tasted sour and very weird. All in all a really bad meal

RIDICULOUS!!!! Took my order and then phoned back 10 minutes later and told me they wouldn't deliver as I live 3.1 miles away. They only deliver within 3 miles! Literally gave away my business...... Also lady answering the phone was not very good at taking the order or even the post code - it took 5 attempts before she got the correct road, frustrating!! VERY disappointed with the service can't comment on food as they would not deliver. Ordered from their competitor and they delivered no problems and was lovely!!!

Nice food good price shame about shutting on Monday's Nice Chinese food Really worth the money, adapts to dietary needs

Quick, clean and tasty Chinese Takeaway! Never had a problem with them and always warn you if there's a long wait and are never rude!

Wickford high street has an abundance of Chinese places, from very expensive sit down places, to all you can eat, and two take aways.
