Paddyfields in York

The most expensive Chinese takeaway I’ve had. One person recommended it and many said give it a miss as the food is expensive and mediocre . The pork fried rice greasy and unappetising,, chicken balls dry with tasteless batter,,salt and pepper chicken wings left uneaten. Disappointing and I would not recommend. I would not return.

We visited this restaurant after seeing some good reviews. My daughter had good GCSE’s results and we wanted to celebrate. Well we was not disappointed it was the best Chinese food that we have had it was amazing. We couldn’t eat it all as the portions were very generous so we took a doggy bag home. The customer was excellent aswell. We will definitely be back.

A lovely restaurant in the middle of the village, from walking in you felt looked after, the lovely gentleman ( I think the owner) was so happy and helpful we were getting take out because we were getting one of the late buses back to our hotel on Wigginton Road opposite the hospital, he went above and beyond to make sure we had what we needed to be able to eat it when we got back because there was no plates or forks to use he provided us with wooden forks spoons and knives, and we were able to eat out of the foil containers, he gave us hand wipes and he knew we were getting the bus and the order didn't take long to arrive and presented to us by the lovely man, we lived in Haxby many years ago and was visiting family, it's our new go to when visiting

Food is always amazing and fresh and not filled with salt like other places

This is a hidden gem. The food was amazing and the ribs were the nicest I’ve ever eaten in a long time. Good value for fantastic food. The staff were really attentive, friendly and polite. I would certainly eat here again and would recommend you try it if you are after a nice meal out

I love you Paddyfields 🥰 How are you so gorgeous? Please never change!

Love this place. A family run business and the folks are so friendly and attentive. The food is delicious with very generous portions....but dont worry you can take home what you don't eat. Try the Bobo chicken, or crispy chilli beef, or the kung po, or, or..............go on give a go you won't be disappointed.

Take out food was delicious. Quite expensive but worth it, plus portion sizes were really big.

delicious food. cute and cosy little restaurant. best service ive had at a restaurant in york

Tasty fresh food with great service from the staff !!!!

Visited this restaurant for a take away meal whilst visiting York. I was a bit apprehensive as I can be quite fussy, however there was no need. The staff were lovely and helpful, the food was wonderful!! It was cooked to order and we did not mind waiting. The portions were large, and a chowmein could easily feed 2 people. The only reason we had left overs was because of how big the portion sizes were. I will definitely be going back next time I’m in York.

Called in on spec and managed to get a table for two. Very wide ranging menu. Staff very helpful and friendly. Food nicely cooked and presented.

I’ve visited Paddyfields with friends and family multiple times over the last couple of years and always felt I should leave some positive feedback. The restaurant and its staff are lovely and very kind to families with children. The food is excellent and of consistently high quality. My only advice is to take their ‘spice’ rating seriously. If you choose something marked very spicy, you get exactly what you should expect! Highly recommended.

Once more treated ourselves to a meal at this wonderful restaurant. Best Cantonese food ever. Service as excellent as is usual. Many thanks to Elaine, Jimmy, Patrick and the kitchen staff.

Delicious food as always, and excellent service.

Absolutely incredible Chinese in Haxby, York. Not heard a bad word about this restaurant so we knew we had to visit asap! We visited with some friends yesterday and ordered a feast, we’re already wanting to go back asap! Not only were the portion sizes HUGGGGEEE but the food was top tier too! 👌 We shared - 🧂 Salt n’ Pepper Ribs 🥜 Satay Chicken ⭐️ 🦐 Prawn Crackers 🥩 Crispy Chilli Beef 🐔 Bobo Chicken ⭐️ 🐷 Char Sui Pork 🧂 Salt n’ Pepper Chips 🍜 Egg Noodles 🍚 Egg Fried Rice We don’t really have a bad thing to say about any of the dishes, but the stand out dishes had to be the satay chicken and the Bobo chicken. They both had so so much flavour and a nice kick! It was unreal 😍

We have dined here twice now and been treated to excellent friendly service, delicious piping-hot food and generous portions with enough to take home in a doggy-bag on both occasions. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend, especially set menu C. We particularly enjoy the pekkng hot & sour soup, and the fact that the banquet allows you to choose your own mains, which allows for greater options to enjoy on the menu!

THE best service, The best chinese restaurant for miles!

Absolutely amazing! Best Chinese we have ever had! The food is fresh, hot, and massive portions, so much so it has done us for two meals (we are big eaters), lol. Spent the weekend in York centre, and this was just a 5 mile drive to haxby. Ordered in advance on the phone (which is quite a busy line. Keep trying as it's worth it) and was not too long wait, even though it was a Saturday night, a week before Christmas. Thank you, Merry Christmas.

Visited Haxby for the weekend and decided to try Paddyfields after a recommendation… so glad we did. It was a very busy Saturday evening but we had booked a table. On arrival the table wasn’t quite ready as the previous occupants were just finishing. We were given a menu and asked to wait 5 mins. My friend has mobility issues so I asked for a chair for her… the staff were brilliant and fetched a stool for her as every seat was taken. Within a few mins we were shown to our table and our order taken. The staff kept checking in with us and were so polite and cheerful. The food was something else…. Huge portions and absolutely delicious. My salt and pepper squid starter would have fed 3 people…. I had to admit defeat and asked for it to be boxed up for me to take away. We had a great evening with superb food and service. Would thoroughly recommend

We are staying in Haxby with friends for a long weekend and earlier ordered from Paddy Fields of Haxby. We collected a take away order of various different meals for 6 tonight and every meal was excellent and more than enough in size to suit all of us. We cannot recommend them enough as we were so surprised how polite and pleasant they were too.

We do a 70 mile round trip to visit Paddyfields on a regular basis, it is the best around by far, food amazing, very generous portions, staff are so friendly.

Excellent food preparation and service of very high standards

Amazing food, service and value. Visited on a Sunday evening and the restaurant was pretty much full - which is usually a sign of a great place to eat. The restaurant is small but not crowded. Extensive menu with good variety of choices. Will definitely go back and highly recommend for a really good Chinese meal.

Amazing customer service, staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Food was amazing and portions were so big we took the rest home. Highly recommend.

Great food and huge portions. If you are looking for better quality Chinese food then this could be your spot. Special fried rice is the best I've had by far and you can split it between 3 people

Restaurant is very small so make sure you book. The staff were very polite and attentive. The food was amazing and for the money the portion sizes were fantastic. I was recommended to go here by friends and family and I will definitely go here again.

Honestly, everything was perfect. Large generous portion that tasted fresh and delicious. And the customer service was nothing short of fantastic. Such polite and lovely staff. Thank you.

The best Chinese meal we have eaten for a long time. We travelled 45 miles for a re-visit to celebrate a birthday.

Superb food, very good value, you will not be disappointed. Not the biggest of Chinese restaurants but certainly one of the best outside Hong Kong I have visited.

Visiting York on holiday and came for a meal with family. Wonderful place. The food is so fresh and tasty, very generous portions but not at the expense of outstanding quality. Service is warm and friendly. The restaurant is decorated simply and comfortably. If even back in the area we will ensure that we return.

Thankyou so much for our wonderful meal and excellent service tonight for our Grandson's 16th birthday. The food was fantastic everything tasted superb and it was the best we have ever had at Paddyfields,Haxby.5stars well earned a credit to the chefs and service staff.

Back at the Paddyfields for the first time since we moved south 4 years ago. This was our favourite restaurant then and was as amazing as I remembered it. The staff, service and food were all excellent. Thank you Elaine and staff for looking after us so well. Graham very jealous he could not be there. We miss you lots.

100% best Chinese in York as other reviews say. Have all the nice touches: mint choc after dinner, wipes between courses, clean your table between courses, serve rice onto your plate before you start, constantly tip up drinks etc. They are so kind to our family every time. Always recognise us and are so friendly. The atmosphere and interior is lovely (very comfy seats!) The food is genuinely incredible. So fresh, tasty and heart. The duck is better than any other I’ve ever had. Genuinely couldn’t recommend enough.

Amazing, attentive service and quality food to remember. The best sweet and sour chicken ever, and the Satay beef is to die for.

Best Chinese restaurant in york! Food is good for value, I love their salt and pepper chicken options. Curry sauce is fab. Cant wait to come back :)

Fantastic food and friendly service - what more can you want

Fantastic food and excellent customer service - highly Recommend Book as quite a small restaurant - does takeaway

Everything is top notch here , when evryou go.

We had a table for 7 and the food, service and value for money was spot on as we all had different and 2 courses. Will definitely return.

This is by far the absolute best Chinese in York! Since moving to York 5 years ago I have been searching for a great Chinese and after trying so many of them I was at a loss with none hitting the mark that is until Paddyfields. Every aspect of Paddyfields is Absolutely AMAZING!! Food quality- Check Flavour- Check Portion Size- Check Friendly Staff- Check Atmosphere- Check If you want a brilliant Chinese restaurant or take away there is no place better than here, I guarantee you won’t be disappointed. No where else in York even comes close, and I for one won’t even bother trying anywhere else, you have a customer for life !

Lovely staff, very polite and friendly.

Thank you for the lovely meal service. This place is definitely worth a visit. Food is absolutely beautiful 😍

Beautiful restaurant, with fabulous food. The portion size for each dish was large. The quality was exceptional. The lady & gentleman front of house delivered the best customer service, both hard working & looked after every customer in the room. It's an eat in or takeaway. What every your preference, you won't be disappointed. This restaurant has everything a customer deserves, fantastic service, quality food in a lovely setting.

Visited here after many recommendations from people who have visited. Very welcoming and friendly staff. Prices fair and food quality fantastic. Very fresh and tasty. Chicken curry was the best I’ve had and I’ve been to many chineses. Salt and pepper chips were tasty, egg fried rice and prawn toast. All very good and would highly recommend. Will be back again.

went for my 70th birthday 18 may party of 18 i cannot fault this place the staff were excellent took really good care of us the food was excellant and all 18 of us were served together really big portions thank you elaine and all your staff highly highly recommend this restuarant pity they dont do delivery but do take out has really put me off local chinese take away as paddyfields serve the real authentic chinese my favorite chinese ever

First time eating hear and first impressions count but unfortunately that's where it ends. Ordered the special chowmein and was at first impressed with the portions but for the price that was paid I didn't expect 4 large pieces of fat. It was disgusting to see. Won't go back again.

Fantastic portion size!!! Great food. But a bit noisy

The food is lovely and the staff are so friendly, we have been coming here for years and not a bad meal yet, love the Malaysian Satay and salt n pepper chips

So friendly and food just gets better. So fresh

Had our 1st meal here tonight. It won't be the last. Will definitely be coming next time we are in the area. We ordered the set meal for 2, wow the portions were amazing with a taste to match. Best meal for a long time.

Really impressed with the food, one of the better Chinese restaurants I've been to.

Lovely little (and I do mean little) Chinese restaurant, some really unusual dishes on the menu. Been a few times and it's been great to try different things to my usual goto meals. Everything has been super tasty, can't recommend enough. Due to the size I would certainly book a table in advance. We will definitely be returning again (and again)

One of the best Chinese restaurants I've ever been to really tasty and flavoursome. It's quite exspensive but portion sizes are very large.

was recommended by a friend 19 booked for birthday meal small place but the quality of the food was outstanding the best chinese cuisine we have ever tasted all 19 of us said we would definatley visit again none of us had been before the food was hot delicious and all 19 dishes brought out at the same time plenty left over so most of us took a doggy bag home the staff were excellent, efficient and very proffesional and gave each group a seperate bill i would give this little gem restuarant 20/20 rating and everyone said they would return thank you from oxberry family

Easy booking,fast friendly service,literally the best Chinese we’ve ever had the food was fresh not greasy everything was gorgeous!thankyou!!

Lovely food, fantastic ambience, wonderful service ........ but above all my date for the night was amazing ❤

Having been twice before to Paddy Fields Cantonese Restaurant in Haxby, it was time to treat my friends on my Birthday. I'm so glad we went there. I'd pre booked so they were ready for the 17 of us. We were warmly welcomed as before,...

We were so keen to go we had to take a 9pm table booking as its always booked up. We were invited in earlier than 9pm as the table became available early. We received a warm welcome and were seated immediately. Service was fast, friendly...

Never had a bad meal from here. The meat is plentiful in the curry & you can tell it is not processed. The sauces are delicious, without giving you a kickback for being to hot. Big portions of rice to complete your meal

Lovely food, good sized portions and helpful and friendly staff. Great service. Everything is absolutely spotlessly clean.

Last night we visited Paddyfields for my daughters 16th birthday. It was our first time visiting the restaurant and I would without doubt say it’s the best Chinese restaurant we have ever visited. The service was exceptional, the staff are kind, warm, friendly and helpful....

Best Chinese food in York, that's all that needs to be said

Best Chinese food ever! And we mean that too. A hidden gem with super friendly staff. Made a wonderful end to a fabulous day.

Thoroughly impressed and will be back! The chicken satay is the best I’ve had, udon noodles were amazing along with everything else. Highly recommend!

Absolutely Brilliant! We were greeted with a warm welcome from all the staff. The staff were very attentive and helpful with suggestions from their knowledge of the food. The food and we ordered a lot!!! arrived freshly cooked delicious and hot. Every dish was extremely...

Beautiful food with generous portions and attentive staff.

Excellent quality and tasty food. You would not go away hungry from here The staff also made it a pleasing inviroment to enjoy the meal Will be going back

Visited with family last night and had another outstanding meal. Notable recommendations crispy duck for starter, house chicken satay (best I’ve ever had and I’ve lived in Asia for 6 years) and chicken curry. Amazing service from Elaine, Jimmy and Patrick too. Will be back...

Our second visit this evening. Service, and food above excellent. Tonight I had Special Chow Mein. It was huge, with plenty on King prawn and Meats. My Wife has salt n pepper Crispy Chilli Chicken. Great to see this place doing so well. Everything a Cantonese should be

Food was amazing and the staff so friendly, only gone here as we’re are at the glamming site but in my top 3 Chinese restaurants of all time.. wow!!

We Went Early Sunday Evening. The food was exceptional old Style Cantonese Food . We went for a set meal for three and I can say that we couldn't eat it all and had to get the rest for takeaway which fed three the next day. The service was also wonderful . I highly recommend PaddyFields you will not be disappointed .

Four of us ate in the restaurant on a Saturday evening and were all extremely impressed with the quality of the food and the friendly, efficient service. We will definitely visit again.

Really nice takeaway. Ginger and spring onion king prawns were very fresh and tasty. Exceptional prawn toast too! Highly recommend

Absolutely amazing food and one of the best customer services ever.

Not the cheapest but worth every penny. Crispy chilli beef the best bar none.

nice meal but, and I must say but, very expensive for what you get, service was exceptional and very friendly and helpful, will go again

Very nice food and they are not small portions bit expensive but worth it

We had a lovely evening celebrating my daughters birthday. The staff are so friendly & even brought a birthday dessert out & staff sang happy birthday

We visited and dined in for our friends birthdays. The service was really good. The food was amazing and really good value between the 5 of us. £20 each invluding prosecco.

Always spot on, eating in or takeaway. Best Chinese in York - Peking beef and salt and pepper chips are awesome!

This is a superb takeaway. The food quality is exceptional and the service impeccable. We have a takeaway meal every three or four weeks and have tasted many of the dishes. Standouts are the vermicelli and the crispy beef.

Had a couple of takeaways from Paddyfields recently and they have been excellent. Best Chinese takeaway we have ever had. Service very friendly and efficient. Great set up for collection. Food is very tasty and certainly plenty of it. Both the veggie and meat dishes...

Top quality. Great food. Always a friendly smile from the staff.. Always a pleasure when collecting the beat chinese takeaway in the area..

Just enjoyed another fabulous takeaway from Paddyfields in Haxby. Can't wait until we can eat in again Chinese food at home at its best Mabes and David Embleton

What a delicious meal. Our first takeaway after lockdown. Very tasty, hot and lots of it. Lovely welcome when I arrived. Thank you very much!

Just been on Valentine's night for the most fantastic meal. We are regulars and we have never had a bad meal. Tonight was no exception, the best Chinese in York bar none with outstanding service. Try it and you won't be disappointed!

This was my first visit and I must say it was some of the best Chinese food I have ever tasted. Every single dish was full of flavour, very well presented and the service was also excellent.

Preordered on a busy Friday evening after just arriving in York for the weekend. Black pepper chicken with extra chilli and beef with mushroom. One of the nicest chinese takeaway meals we have had. Cannot comment on the restaurant other than it looked quite small,...

We had taken our caravan up to York and on Saturday evening decided to try Haxby for a pub meal. That was a mistake as I couldn’t recommend any of them. We spotted this small Chinese restaurant, thinking initially...it’ll do I suppose, but what a...

So this is apparently the best chinese in York. Was really looking forward to trying it for the first time but was really disappointed. Ordered the salt and pepper platter for 2, was ok but had better elsewhere. Main dish ordered was beef with black...

When we first tried this place we were not keen at all....fast forward a couple of years and we’re so glad to have a local Chinese! We have takeaways and have sat in a couple of times and have never had an issue.

We are visiting my sister in Sutton-on-the-Forest and ordered a take away. Without a doubt it was the best take away we have ever had. Splendid food. Wish they were near my home!

My wife and I had another excellent meal. The service was quiet, very friendly and efficient. We had a set meal which was very tasty as well as some red wine and wonderful Chinese tea .

Excellent food, always piping hot. Staff very attentive and helpful throughout meal. Best Chinese in York. Can't count how many times I've been.

We ate here last Friday night had a set menu Really great chicken sweetcorn soup Very good beef satay Lots left over for take away

Booked in here for a 70th birthday meal as its our local, the fod is absolutely fantastic, big portions and vert tasty indeed. The staff are beyond excellent, very friendly and attentative, its a great takeaway also, very highly recommended.

6 of us ordered the set meal for my partner's birthday. First plus is the discount you get on takeaway... Saved us £20! Second plus is the specific collection time I was given and that each time I've been there the order was sat (nice and hot) waiting for me! Third plus is how gorgeous the food is!! There's a very fussy eater in our group, and even he said it was the best Chinese he had ever had ! The portions were huge (we've got a fridge full this morning!) And the meat was delicious. Cannot recommend this place enough!

Visited Paddyfields last night with my wife and 85yr old Mother.Was a bit apprehensive, because my Mother is unused to Chinese food, and I know she doesn't like anything spicy.However, I need not have worried, as the meal was excellent and she really enjoyed it.The staff were attentive, polite and seemed to constantly on the move dealing with seated guests and visitors for take-away orders.The set meals (which we choose) also gave us the option of choosing our own main courses so that helped in ensuring my mother was happy.The food was plentiful, hot when served, and delicious.I have no hesitation in recommending this Chinese to anyone Will look forward to visiting again soon.

Found this accidentally when we were stopping in Sheriff Hutton. The portions were really large, collection service was quick and efficient. Food was lovely.
