Noodle King in Chelmsford

Food took an hour and a half to arrive. We’ve ordered from here many times previously but now the food has changed. Not sure if it’s a new chef but the flavours are different. Very bland and lacking ingredients in regularly ordered dishes. Might have to find a new Chinese!

AVOID!!! MOULDY CHICKEN!!! Ordered takeaway which was delivered with mouldy cooked chicken, how this even got past any quality control is beyond me!!!

The food was particularly great tonight. We all really enjoyed our meal. It was delivered in a timely fashion also. Thank you very much!

The food was 20 minutes late and was cold. Due to hungry children I heated it up which impairs the quality of the food. The beef in black bean sauce had hardly any beef in. I would like this resolved.

Food was very late, called restaurant after almost 2 hours, to find out it had delivered else where, so had to wait another hour for replacement food, By which time my guests had left. extremely Disappointed

my order was delivered early and hot although the sauce for the spare ribs was a too salty for my liking, but iwill definitely order again.

Lovely food delivered on time.

We’ve ordered from Noodle King in the past and always found the food to be nice however, our most recent order has put us off all together, the food was inedible, it was incredibly salty to the point we couldn’t eat the food, only one out of the 4 meals turned up correct the others were given some random meals with one of them containing whole nuts (thankfully no one has a nut allergy!) very very dissatisfied and won’t be eating here again

ordered chicken foo yung....got some sort of prawn and mushroom curry. food was late so was almost cold.

Spare ribs missing on delivery

the food arrived late, without the option of live tracking and when we phoned up AFTER the delivery time section had passed they had only just left the restaurant, the food was bland and my sweet chilli squid, the batter was undercooked. The only things that were warm when arrived was the food in the middle of the bag that held in heat.

last time I ordered I ended with a refund on the chicken. tried again today and rice wasn't edible, satay sauce was a jelly block. was really disappointed and it was the final nail in the coffin. won't be ordering again.

We’ve ordered from Noodle king before and never had a problem, it’s always been a really great Chinese however, this time we are very dissatisfied the food was salty and I mean inedibly salty! One out of the 4 meals we ordered was correct with one containing nuts when it never has before! (Thankfully no one in the house has a nut allergy) the chickens had a great breakfast the next day, very disappointed and am likely not to order from here again unfortunately !

Missing my drink and wrong item sent

Delivered within the time, everything g hot and what we had is all tasty - will use again

All food was cold duck was not edible at all was rock Hard and cold, CRISPY chilli beef was SOGGY rice cold all cold. After seibg the du j and trying others threw away, resturaunt did not answer phone.

90 minutes late is unacceptable…

Fantastic food, service and delivery. Many thanks

Originally on time the food wasn’t right and took over an hour and 20 to re deliver one meal. The food was really poor I would not order again. Also when I was chasing them to see how long and where is the delivery the staff lied multiple times.

Unfortunately we had missing dishes so we called restaurant who said delivery driver was on his way back. He arrived with still the wrong dishes and by now the food we had got was getting cold. We were told by the delivery driver to call restaurant again for a refund on the missing dishes which we did and we are still waiting for a refund! Won’t be using this restaurant/take away again, very poor service with no apology 🥲

Where is the Chinese what I have ordered.

Took money, order confirmed. Called as app said delivered they hung up!!!! Still waiting….

Over priced due to greedy owner

Ordered food with just eat and paid cash and tipped the driver. 2 dishes were wrong, I called them, they said they’d re-deliver incorrect items but it would be a while, and I suggested they could just give me the cash back and I’d return the items, and they agreed. They did NOT return my money OR replace my food, and they don’t answer my multiple phone calls I made both last night and today. Second time I’ve ordered from them and second time they’ve got half of it wrong. Terrible service. Don’t waste your money. Food isn’t that good.

Ordered from this restaurant through Deliveroo at 8:30 pm and it said estimated time of arrival at 9:15 pm. (Restaurant using their own drivers) It turned 9:45 and I contacted Deliveroo live chat and they told me they called the restaurant and it’ll be another 20 mins. Waited 30 mins and spoke to them again and they said another 5 mins. 10 mins later we called the restaurant ourselves and they said it’s on the way. It finally arrived at around 11:15 pm and the food was cold and not very nice. Deliveroo only refunded us £9.85 and we had paid £30 plus for this order. Won’t order from here again.

The first delivery was 30 mins late, I had to re order as it was wrong order, then the next order took hour and half, had phone call from driver who couldnt find address, eventually arrived and was just warm. Over all experience took over 4 hours from placing my order. Dreadful!!

Delivery driver said he was on his own and no one else to deliver. Hence he was so late .Called restaurant several times and kept being told it’s ‘on the way’. Food was sweaty and not good quality when the last time we ordered it was superb. So disappointed. The problem with this app is they get your money no matter what. Won’t be ordering again I’m afraid. £81 worth of disappointment. Poor.

Arrived over a hour late after being told many times by the restaurant it was on its way which it clearly wasn't they didn't txt me bk or phone me bk took 12 calls and food Arrived cold not eatable rubbish

The food is now 45 minutes late - I don’t want it now - it will be cold anyway - please refund my payment

Truly awful. Nearly an hour late, missing items a d cold. Avoid these clowns.

the food I am sorry to say was not to your normal standard. the chilli crispy beef was very chewy the chicken balls didn't taste right it was almost like eating sub standard chicken. the omelette was over cooked. then you forgot our drinks. got them delivered about 20mins later. such a shame normally enjoy your food

the satay chicken didn’t come with the satay sauce

I ordered Tom yum soup and got hot and sour and the chunks of large chicken still had the skin on

food was excellent thanks guys!.

Everything over cooked. Chicken looked and tasted reheated and chewy. Half the duck was no good as burnt.

The Salt and Pepper Spare Ribs could have been better and more than just a few small ones!

Honestly the worst Chinese iv ever eaten, the sweet and sour chicken tasted like vinegar. Just horrible first and last order from here

Tofu was so deep fried it was like rock and inedible, satay sauce was a tasteless cold lumpy gravy. Black bean sauce was like water. Would not order again.

Driver did not read my instructions about my location and he got lost. After calling, he still couldn't find me so I had to come out the house to look for him. PLEASE READ MY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION GIVEN.

Food (3 dishes) was hot but bland and tasteless. I used a lot of soy sauce to try and liven it up. Disappointed

Good food would defo order again spice was on point aswell

Arrived piping hot and cooked well. . . . Apart from the pepper of the dish which was not cooked as the pieces were too big to cook along with the other food, black bean sauce was really nice and would be even nicer hotter , but the food was delicious

IT HASN'T ACTUALLY ARRIVED YET SO......AS OF 17.57PM

Horrible food chicken curry was like jelly chicken satay was pink,soggy chips, prawn crackers was the only thing worth eating will not be ordering again

Food was terrible tonight. Crispy shredded beef was soggy, the ribs had no meat on them, the prawn balls were also soggy and the chips were like cardboard like they’d been sitting there for days

Gorgeous food. Arrived hot and on time

Food was cold, a load of variety of foods chucked into a pizza box and what looked like had been in a car crash

Not great to be honest, curry was runny and bland but more annoyingly they ignored instructions of no veg in the sweet & sour.

Food has not arrived at 20:54 but timed for 20:35 ! Says enjoy your food ! What food ??? Hasnt arrived

Really good food! Delivered hot and by a lovely guy! 10/10

Great grub. Nice and hot, and delivery was bang on time!

Ordered food via Uber. First time user. Food was ordered with a 40 minute lead time estimated delivery at 19:10… no sign of food… called 3 times to be told food was 10 minutes away… 1 hour 40 minutes… no sign of food. Called and was told 10 minutes away… cancelled order… this is now at 2 hours… 10 Minutes later they called to be told order was cancelled… our food is on its way… how long “if I’m honest 10-15 minutes” THEY HAD NOT BEEN HONEST FOR OVER 1 HOUR! At least they had the decency to call back and say order was cancelled… still waiting for refund.

Expensive food is poor no value for money

Food was late and cold when arrived, disappointed.

Delicious food. Great delivery time

Popcorn chicken was like a leather boot. Salt chips had no salt too much pepper and a load of carrot? They were also soggy. Chicken wings were overly yellow it was concerning. Followed by two massive boxes of rice which didn’t go with anything we ate. All the vegetables were not fresh. The chicken was inedible

First time ordering here after our normal place closed. Our order was delivered in the time given and lovely and hot. Food was really tasty and better than our old place.

Delivery was 25 mins late and two of the dishes were quite gloppy.

Food very nice and very warm/hot when delivered.

The food was cold and order was late everything we ordered was tasteless and bland is this a real Chinese takeaway or a unit on industrial estate ? Never again sorry the worst Chinese we have ever had

Very tasty food. A fresh change from the usual commercial standard Chinese restaurants. Was freshly cooked and the starter meat came separate from the sauce - I pleasant surprise, as usually it comes drowning in sauce and you can’t tell if the meat is good quality inside. This was cooked to perfection!

Order confirmed straight away but I could see it wasn’t going to be delivered on time as the status of the order didn’t change for ages. 2 mins before delivery time the order was pushed back by 15 mins but it was still delivered over 40 mins late. I would build in some delay time when you order as the quality of food was really very good. Everything was hot and the 1/4 of duck was already shredded ready for the pancakes, which was a nice touch.

Food come cold food was bland very poor experience

Ordered a takeaway through just eat, everything was yummy & hot & arrived on time

Food was pretty rubbish. Ribs completely burnt and rice over cooked. Prawns taste like rubber not good

This is Shangai house trying to start fresh!! Don’t get me wrong the food is MUCH better BUT I’ve waited a hour for my food for stuff to be missing I now have to wit another half hour+ for missing items which is annoying because I’m starving and don’t want to have half a meal!!! :(

Great Chinese, on time and very friendly delivery driver Thankyou

Food was hot, tasty and arrived early.

Arrived hot and was delicious. Will order again.

Really good food, nice and hot, and order came on time

It was our first order from Noodle King. Happy with delivery time but spring rolls and complimentary prawn crackers were really stale. Duck chow mein…the duck was undercooked. On the plus side chicken chow mein was ok and chicken balls were good.

Food was great small mistake with the order….they sent chicken balls instead of prawn balls

This was a nice surprise - I’ve never ordered from Noodle King before but it was lovely. Will be ordering again soon.

Malaysian rice noodles was actually just plain chow mein. Malaysian rice has a strange flavour. The chips were over-done and dried out.

That's not even Kung Paow chicken. Idk what kind of chicken dish is that but certainly the worse chinese food I've ever ate. I'm Very sorry but this is total disappointment. Corn soup has too much sesame oil. Idk why you even out sesame oil on that. Broccoli is okay.

Disappointed. Not that hot. Not much taste to chow mein

Squid wasn’t even chewable was rank

Food was nice, delivery bit late but they send us their apologies with a free pepsi can. A very appreciated initiative. It was good. Definitely we'll order again.

Food was outstanding … very tasty …nice and hot . Good size portions … worth the money … Will use again

Rang the number, no answer, delivery driver confirmed the business was not in control...

Really good food, reasonably priced, good sized portions.

No food got delivered ....be careful you will be disappointed... took order .. accepted order and didnt deliver but got charged !!!

Everything was delicious and well packaged.

Arrived cold and an hour late …food by then tasted chewy , like day old left overs. Squid was extremely chewy! Just very disappointed!!

Really nice quality food. As an asian, I approved!

Absolutely fantastic, was starving so really grateful food came so quick, food was amazing, delivery driver really pleasant and polite.

Good portions. Duck and pork rice was nice (meant not served on top and no sauce though) Singapore rice noodles were pretty yellow but nice flavour. Salt and pepper chicken wings were not crispy, and extremely salty and oily. Would try other dishes another time.

The food was good, especially the duck chow mein. The boiled rice could do with a bit of salt but that could just be a personal preference. Would recommend!

I’m missing a dish, which I’m not happy about at all

Food was amazing, it was 20 mins later than the estimated delivery but not down to the restaurant as they explained, Just Eat puts down their estimated delivery which doesnt actually link up with the restaurants time scale but they had very good customer service and dealt with our concern correctly.

delivery was missing rice, contacted noodle king and was advised it would be sent straight out 1hr 45 mins later rice turned up all food was stone cold and inedible contacted just eat only offered £9.50 back from £45 order poor service all round. we contacted the restaurant and they hung up twice

Curry sauce was forgotten but phoned up and they delivered it within 5 minutes ! Best costumer service!

Blimey! Absolutely delicious 🤤! Udon chicken noodles are fabulous, juicy and tasty! Crispy squid (30 seconds less cooking would be perfect) was so tasty. Unfortunately the sauce tub leaked but everything was piping hot and I really can’t complain as it was sooooo good! The driver was also friendly, polite and found us first time!!!! 🥰😊
