Peking Gardens in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

I rang up to make a order for delivery and I gave my address and the lady said with a disgusting attitude oh we just delivery up there so I had to explain there is more then one flat up in the area and then she said oh and said we had to wait till gone to 10:30 for our food and me and my partner made the phone call around 8:30. They need to get some one with better attitude and someone who is good with customer service. This is rude. I am very unhappy with this. I would recommend checking with your neighbours in the area to see if they have ordered from here first as don't want this to happen to you.

A fairly small Chinese restaurant up quite a few stairs but well worth the visit, The food we ordered was cooked to perfection and tasted absolutely delicious. The staff were very welcoming and friendly, Thoroughly recommended. The best Chinese food I've had for many a decade

We thought we'd try this Chinese restaurant, having passed it earlier in the holiday and reading reviews on here. The waitress was friendly and took our orders. Drinks came, and we awaited our starters. Only my daughter and I were having a starter. My wife didn't want one. My daughter's starters of crispy seaweed and chicken satay skewers came out. I had ordered won ton soup. My daughter had nearly finished hers by the time mine came out. The waiter apologised for the wait. Having had to wait for the soup, I have to say it was delicious. My daughter enjoyed her starters as well. When the mains came out, they came out in dribs and drabs, not all together. The rice came out, then a minute or 2 later, my daughter's main of crispy duck in plum sauce came out. A minute or so later, my wife's beef curry came out. I was still waiting for my sizzling seafood in oyster sauce! It came out a couple of minutes later. All of the dishes were really nice, but the waiters should really have waited until all the food was ready and brought it out altogether. Overall, nice food, slightly pricey and disorganised service.

We grabbed a take away on way home from pub. We had eaten here last year, so were optimistic about the standard of food. We were not dissapointed. Rice, Chow Mein, sweet and sour chicken, salt and pepper chicken, curry. All generous and delicious. Would highly recommend

Ordered a delivery whilst on holiday in Looe. Easy order on-line and rang to check delivery info and very friendly customer service. Thoroughly recommend the beef chow mein, lots of veg and tender beef pieces. Thank you for an efficient delivery service too

This takeout and restaurant doesn't promote itself from the outside but the food speaks for itself. The staff were a young boy and girl who couldn't have been more attentive and friendly and I wish I had been staying long enough to try the buffet night but the food we had was the best I've tasted in years. I honestly wish I lived nearer. Please try this place :)

Absolutely disgusting. Ordered £54 worth of food and the only thing worth eating was the free prawn crackers. Chicken chowmein had about 5 noodles and was draped with barely cooked chicken and sloppy veg. Crispy chilli beef was pale not brown and near enough sauceless tasted like eating empty batter with no sauce or flavour at all. Even the rice was undercooked and the Salt and Pepper combo was pathetic - handful of chips and the most tasteless chicken and ribs. What an absolute rip off I’m so shocked and angry. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!

Food was awful, home delivery. Curry sauce congealed and spilt all over food. Dirty fries box was overcooked and tasted like it had been cooked in dirty oil. Nothing tasted good. Menus was 43 pounds but charged 55.. 12 delivery charge is awful for such quality of food

We ordered from here using the website and it was delivered straight to our caravan at Looe Bay Holiday Park. Unfortunately I had requested it to be delivered at 6:30 and it arrived an hour early. It was a good job we were back. The food was ok, an average Chinese. We ordered a dry chow mein and it definitely wasn’t dry, but it was plentiful and piping hot when it arrived

We had a delicious meal here at the beginning of February. The service was excellent and the food was freshly cooked and very tasty. We’ll definitely be back!

Best Chinese take away ive ever had,and have alot!! Since moving to Polperro ive had several take aways from here and never been more than happy.The food is fresh and the meat wether beef,pork or chicken is butter soft.The chow mein is seasoned to perfection and the capital ribs are amazing,the sauce is out of this world! Yesterday i tried the pork,ginger and spring onions.The ginger tasted so fresh but didnt over power the dish,amazing.Ive found the staff amazing and smiling and on the ball even in busy times.Its an alround 10 out of 10 for me.

Food- lovely, hot and enjoyable. Staff- attentive and friendly in their big jumpers and joggers, nice and warm. Will not return as it was soooo cold- heating not on, sat in my coat . Tinsel falling off the walls as the sellotape wasn’t strong enough to hold it up and clutter and mess everywhere. Shame.

Fab service they delivered to our caravan, the driver was friendly and on time :) the food was the best chinese we've had for along time so tasty, and a good price I highly recommend, thankyou

We both found the staff absolutely lovely, accommodating and efficient. The food was delicious, served up very quickly and steaming hot. We had no complaints at all but I would personally suggest that they offer a Tai Sweet Sauce with the Prawn Crackers (NOT a criticism but a suggestion). We will certainly return when we come again and would highly recommend this lovely restaurant.

Thank you so much guys for the amazing takeaway you delivered to looe bay tonight an your amazing delivery driver thank you an see you nxt year

Absolutely awful! Waited over 3 hours for the food to be delivered and when it finally came, it was below standard. After 2 hours of waiting, we called to find out where it was, to be met with a bit of confusion about our location, as if they didn’t realise they had a delivery scheduled there, and then told that the driver was “very slow” and he would get it here as soon as possible. He also said “don’t worry, it will still be warm, I’m just going to start cooking it”. Finally arrived over an hour after that conversation. Will never use again.

Ordered various dishes and every single one was lovely. Pleasant staff, reasonably priced and the food arrived quickly. A+ recommend highly

We ate in the restaurant which had a good feel. Service was excellent and food was very good. Overall a very good experience, would recommend when in Looe.

Oh dear. I am settling my stomach having just eaten a takeaway from the Peking Gardens in Looe. I began with the hot and sour soup and my wife had the chefs platter. My soup was the watered down sweet and sour soup with the ingredients from the hot and sour soup, strange indeed. This was followed by sweet and sour battered mystery food, broccoli and fried rice. This was interesting to say the least. My wife had the chicken chowmein which again wasn't how she ordered it but never mind. The food overall was deep-fried with the rice very chewy. The battered balls were cooked extremely thoroughly. My wife gave up on her mains and I gave it a sporting chance. Unfortunately, It was not the best. As holiday visitors this was the only choice which delivered. In all honesty , you would be better served going elsewhere.

We attempted to order online prior to collection. We were unable, this has happenned at most places in Looe. But as most things in Looe are a short, flat walk it was easy and convenient to go in and order. Took about 15/20 mins and had area to sit and have a drink whilst waiting. All the dishes were delicious and piping hot. Sweet and sour chicken balls and egg fried rice were really good. Favourite dishes were the salt n pepper chicken and the satay chicken. Would definitely use again.

As birthday treat my grandson took me to this restaurant for the all you can eat buffet. Although the decor is a bit dated, the food was absolutely delicious. Freshly prepared and it all tasted so good. Excellent value for money. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. We hadn't booked a table but we went early so no problem at all. We will go back.

Group of 11 went for all you can eat. Waiter took all are order but half the dishes we ordered didn’t come out. When asking for the bill. we notice he added an extra child. We then looked though the bill, over charge us for a glass of wine for a bottle of wine and charged us for our deserts that was part of the all you can eat. Of course he blamed his manager (we never seen her once and only dealt with the man. If we didn’t go though the receipt they would have got away with it! Check your bill before paying.

Girlfriend loves a Chinese! So whilst on holiday we decided to make and order. Ordered online and went to collect 45mins later. Got the food back and it was really good! One of the better Chinese’s I’ve had! Really enjoyed it. Would defo go again

Had a lovely meal delivered tonight. Just telephoned the order through, it was delivered on time, to our caravan at Polperro park. We were able to pay the friendly delivery driver cash (this included a very reasonable delivery charge of £4) and we all enjoyed a really lovely, tasty Chinese meal. Would be happy to recommend this Chinese restaurant to anyone thinking of ordering from them. It was delicious and very good value for money.

Delivery was over 90 minutes, but said that when ordered, so not fast but aware of time. Friendly driver, all good warm and tasty. Seem to have improved!

Food was nice enough and hot. The service was pleasant but only 2 ladies working so we had long waits. Plates weren’t cleared between courses so we had a stack on the end of the table by the end of the evening. We were charged for 2 rounds of drinks (we only had 1) and they charged us adult price for our 11 year old (adult is apparently over 10????, not where I’m from!!) The restaurant and toilets and very shabby, wouldn’t return.

Had a great take away on Thursday, really hot, delivery was on time and the phone service was second to none, thank you.

It has always been scruffy but is definitely getting worse. Owners kids friends freely wandering around being rude and noisy while you eat. Two main dishes came out and had to wait five minutes for rice and noodles. Waiter looked scruffy and never took his...

Can't fault the service here, we made a mistake on our order (adding an extra dish), so we called them, and they said we could have a free dish next time. Fast forward to 'next time', and we placed an order online only to receive...

1 of the curry dishes we have had courtesy call call sayin food woz late but my word well worth the wait can't thank u enough

Had two takeaways delivered in a weeks holiday. First was friendly and quick and the food was still hot. The second delivery took two hours and the food needed microwaving on arrival. The driver was not particularly friendly. The food it’s self is below average....

This is a conventional Licenced eat-in Restaurant which provides Takeaways, plus Delivery service also. The Menu has what you might expect of a Chinese Restaurant, a good variety of dishes, including our favourite Starter, the Crispy Duck. Food and Drink order was taken promptly, our...

We are staying here on holiday in a cottage just outside Looe, after a long day, rather than go out for our evening meal, we decided to get a takeaway delivered, the driver found us even though it’s very remote and the food was excellent!...

We had a takeaway from here back in June as we couldn't find anywhere else to have a quick early dinner. The food was good, but nothing special.

Beware if you are vegetarian or vegan because even though this restaurant offers vegetable and tofu dishes, everything is cooked in the same oil. The trouble is that they don't tell you this unless you ask. We asked and did not eat here as a...

Took two friends visiting from London. I was a bit wary in view of the many negative reviews, but didn't have much choice as every other restaurant in Looe was fully booked. This place was about one third full, which tells you something, for a...

Good food and service, meals and drinks brought to table quickly. Limited soft drinks selection. Tables sticky and dirty greasy cardboard boxes stacked in a corner. Didn't need to pre-book a table. Not many sat inside, all seating is upstairs. Plenty of take away orders...

A poor restaurant, overpriced, added vegetables to make it look like you have a good amount Don’t go here Shameful place

20 minute drive to this from where we were staying, payed to park to walk to this place another 20 minute drive back to deer park only to find that several items payed for were missing. YOU GOT US GUYS.

This was our first time visiting the restaurant we were all very impressed, best Chinese we've had eating in a chinese in a long time!!! The portion sizes were more than ample and they also provided us with a dish of chicken Cantonese style on...

Staying at a caravan park up the road we decided on a Chinese takeaway one night and was recommended this place. We went in and ordered and waited, didn't take long and home we went. The food was absolutely stunning, we are fussy with our...

Had two takeaways while on holiday at Looe Bay Holiday Park. They delivered direct to the Caravan for only £3. Tasty hot food, would recommend.

Horrible food! Never ever will I visit the place again. Age old trick restaurants use on tourists as they never return..

We ordered chicken curry, egg fried rice and pork chow mein to takeaway. To say we were disappointed with the food was an understatement. I have never experienced chinese food before where the food had no smell or taste (no I don't have Covid). The...

Nice food but we where hoping for an all you could eat but was told when seated that it was only in winter?

Shame we didn't look at these reviews before placing the order - our experience was terrible. The crispy duck was nice but everything else was not edible. We literally put most of it straight in the bin after opening.

£58 for total rubbish and filled our bin. We revived all we ordered but what absolutely trash . 6 of us all abandoned our meals with disgust at the incompetence of there chef's ability to put a simple meal together.

We were visiting Looe with family and had a meal for four delivered to our holiday flat. Excellent meal thank you - )

We ordered a delivery with a 2 hour wait. I wasn't happy about having to wait 2 hours to get a delivery from Looe to Polperro but hey, this is Cornwall and things happen slowly here. I phoned at the 2 hour mark and was...

Just had a meal there, the portions were tiny!! We are of side plates (maybe that was to disguise how tiny the portions are) Part of our order didn’t arrive and Food very overpriced.

Ordered and paid online Picked up our order the chap was very friendly, the food was delicious just perfect and thanks for the prawn crackers!!

Staff were unsure of dishes. Told us to use google for answers as they and the kitchen staff couldn’t communicate. Beware if you have allergies!

Oh dear- we have visited this take away before about 18 months ago and it was ok. We ordered it and went to pick up (would have changed my mind at that point). 3 hours later my daughter was vomiting. I would avoid and will...

We ordered on line so was able to pay by card. Expected delivery time was 6.30pm , but delivered to our caravan site half an hour earlier, so that was a bonus! A great chinese which provides hot and tasty food, we have used this...

Late night takeaway hit the spot. Tasty food and quick service. Only downside was cash only? Strange In current circumstances.

Fantastic food in a small restaurant, the best Chinese food we have ever had. All tasted very fresh, will be coming back.

Having read some of the reviews I was a bit nervous booking a table here, but everywhere else was fully booked. However, the food was very good and the portion sizes were huge. The hot appetiser sharing starter was too much really for two people...

In the past 5 years of living here I have had no issues up until this year. But the last 2 times I have ordered there has been a very long delay. I understand they may be busy and I accept that, but the least...

Oh dear, must have been one of those nights. Have used this restaurant before, over the years and have never had an issue, but tonight was different. Ordered a takeaway and was more than concerned, when the guy in front of us said that he...

Let’s start with the food (because that’s what we went in for and we were hungry after a 5 hour drive and we hadn’t booked anywhere so were in the lap of the gods really) it was really tasty and certainly hit the spot. It was priced OK but the service was nothing special, friendly enough but the waiter stank of fags and we felt there was only a nod towards being Covid-safe (ie they wore masks and had bottles of sanitizer on the tables). The whole place was old and tired and sort of somewhere you’d go on the way home from the pub rather than mmmm let’s go there for our dinner; if you get my drift - a real shame because it’s on the main thoroughfare and could offer a really great experience. They do take-out and deliveries and both were very busy.

We were too tired to sit and eat in so ordered a takeaway, all very nice and tasty, the service was quick too.

We ate here on our recent visit to Looe, we had eaten here a couple of years ago also and we were not disappointed! It was a Sunday eve and we were the only ones in the restaurant. The food and service were amazing, we also had a take away later on in the week which was just as lovely! We will definitely return on our next trip

We live in Looe and all our delivered food was cold. The prawn toast was so over fried it was inedible. Chips were dark brown and really greasy. The chicken satay was dry ..... really disappointed. I feel robbed

Probably the worst Chinese food I’ve ever eaten. Ordered with these guys quite late in the evening for collection, the food was on time and lady who served me was really friendly. However the food was absolutely awful. It looked old and was all congealed together. It was cold and In general just tasted awful. All 3 people who I brought this take away for couldn’t eat the meal. Such a shame because not a fan of leaving terrible reviews but it was shocking. The prices for the potions you get is also not great. I’d like to say this could be a one off but I’ve eaten from here before and it’s not the best.. however I did find that if you eat in the restaurant the food seems to have abit more effort put into it! I would attach pictures but this was around a week ago and to be honest it went straight in the bin! If your getting a chinese in Looe order from Ocean Dragon the food is 100X better you get a lot more for your money!

We ordered takeaway and it was ready when expected. Food was lovely, nothing special but perfectly adequate for a Chinese takeaway. Not sure I’d be as satisfied eating in

This was a home delivery meal due to Coronavirus restrictions. Have to say it was OUR BEST CHINESE since we came to Cornwall 30 years ago! We used to dine at some very fine London Chinese and thus home delivery equalled them! Cannot wait to eat there once the current restrictions are (eventually) lifted. Their website is one of the best and easiest for online ordering!!

Wish I had read reviews first !! Since moving to Looe havent found a decent chinese so had to go to Peking Garden again. Last time we had take away my hubby wasnt well but put it down to him ! Tried again and food was watery the duck tasted of soap and poor hubby in bathroom all night . Last chance for peking garden avoid unless you want to lose weight !! Sadly no more chinese first us .

We had a takeaway from this restaurant on the recommendation of a local shop owner, and we were not disappointed. We ordered on the website (no Just Eat available) and were worried they wouldn't find the holiday apartment we were staying in, but we needn't have worried. The food arrived hot and on time, and was delivered by a very nice delivery man.It did say cash only on the restaurant when we walked into town earlier, but you can pay by card on the website or Cash on Delivery.Unfortunately I forgot to take pics of it but we had the set menu for 3 and it was plentiful and delicious.

Most desugusting meal I've had ,crispy duck was definitely crispy all skin no meat.And as for the crispy chicken it was pure salt. Live and learn stick to liskeard next time.

We booked a table for two the night before New Year’s Eve. When we turned up we were the only two in the restaurant, although the takeaway trade was obviously doing well. Not long after, a party of five arrived and were seated. There was one girl on her own serving us in the restaurant, answering the phone and sorting the takeaway orders. In between everything else going on she came and took our order for a set meal, although we asked her to swap one of the meals, which she said she could do. She carried on juggling taking the orders of the five, their drinks, answering the phone etc. Stress levels were getting high when a party of eight turned up, followed by a party of four and another party of four. We eventually got our food (two portions of what we had swapped it no charge!) while the party of eight wrote their own orders to help out. Eventually help arrived for the waitress. All that said, the food was delicious and plenty of it. We were in no rush so it wasn’t a problem. We would certainly return to this restaurant.

We phoned at 6pm for a set dinner to be delivered. Were informed that it would be 7.30 before they could deliver, this seemed a long time to wait on a mid week evening in November, but we went ahead and ordered anyway. The meal arrived on time, and was hot. Unfortunately It was however without doubt the worst Chinese meal I have ever eaten!! Nothing in the mix of dishes included tasted remotely Chinese!! and the bulk of it had to be binned. Very disappointing experience.

We fancied a takeaway whilst on holiday and searched for a restaurant that would deliver in the middle of nowhere. We came up trumps with THE NEW PEKING GARDENS. Not only did they deliver quite a distance but the food was delivered a lot faster than expected (much faster than my local down the road) but the food was fresh and hot as well as being plentiful and delicious. I will definitely use them again if I go that way in the future.

First time we have tried this takeaway. Had it delivered to our holiday Lodge. Food was hot and good. Will return next year.

Delivery was prompt. Food was really nice. The only negative point I have is this is a cash only buisiness which is inconvenient if you have to find a cash point first. Otherwise it would have been a 5.

Ate in and wished hadn’t. Staff were rude - snatching menus away and meals didn’t all arrive at the same time so some members of our group hadn’t finished eating before others food arrived. Service poor as had to ask numerous times for drinks (restaurant less than a quarter full so no excuse). On going to the toilets noticed peeling wallpaper with mould on the walls going upstairs (unfortunately too late to leave at this stage as had already eaten). Food was edible but mediocre at best especially as wasn’t cheap. Shame we had no internet signal as usually check hygiene ratings before eating, checking afterwards found out was only a 1/5 and not surprising in hindsight. Please avoid!

Had a look at the menu outside and decided that we would give it a try. was given a table and we waited about 15 minutes before a very sleepy? waitress asked us if we wanted a drink. She handed us a menu, however it was different from the one outside which we found out was for takeaways only. Since the food we fancied was only on the takeaway menu, we ordered from this and waited for the takeaway meal. 45 minutes later I asked where the food was and is had been left on a table near the kitchen for over 20 minutes. Very inexperienced staff and when I said that the food had gone cold I was told that I would have to re-heat it any way.

Ordered a meal for 7 for delivery. Order was on time, correct, food was hot and we all said how tasty it was. We all had different things and we all pleased. Will be back again.

Read some reviews on this place and tried to find somewhere else to get food but as it was so late we didn’t have much choice. I have to say my take away was actually really nice. The rice was fresh! The staff didn’t seem to know whether they were coming or going and the restaurant itself looked a bit dirty, we were apprehensive but starving. Special fried rice was really nice and the bbq sauce was perfect. The ribs however were fatty and not much meat. Not expensive, usual price for Chinese restaurants.

Last day of a get away we decided to have a takeaway and we are glad we did.

I called in for a takeaway: Ribs in Capital Sauce & Duck Chow Mein (udon noodles). Going up the stairs, the carpet had seen better days and I wondered if it was a good idea ordering food from there.

Cash only establishment; confirmed on ordering - continued with the order as the New Peking Gardens came recommended. It’s 2019 - loads of reasonable card merchants around now, shame not to have this option as this meant collecting as I needed to get cash to pay.

Visited a week ago. Should have known food would be disappointing, as no-one in the restaurant! I had crispy duck, which was tasteless as no meat as such just overcooked crispy bits. It was also Luke warm. My wife had a fish dish which was also bland. The waitress was pleasant enough, but not very communicative or friendly. When we came to leave, no-one bothered to say goodbye! No ambience to the place whatsoever. Will not be returning, although we live locally.

my family an I were looking forward to a nice Chineese takeaway after a long drive from bristol after ringing up 3 times to make an order and each time being told in a very rude way "you call back later "and hang up we eventually did get to make an order and were made to feel like we really inconvenienced them

Ordered a couple of take out from here. They delivered to our caravan on time,hot food and delivery guy was great.Highly reccomended.

Very poor experience. Ordered takeaway and was told 45 minutes wait for delivery. 1.5 hours later food arrived, claiming busy night. Restaurant s should be honest when giving out timings. Food was average at best. The egg fried rice tasted burnt and the mixed vegetable sweet and sour tasted of shampoo, awful! However, crispy duck was good, but will never eat or order from there again

Nice chow mein well seasoned and tasted good, quick service as-well for take away orders, was in there less than 5 minutes, small waiting time for fresh food was good.

We got here about 15 minutes after we specified to collect our order, so you would have expected the order to be ready. When we got to the desk we were told by the idiot at the desk that the order hadn't gone through because the iPad was not downstairs. Then when she asked what was on the order she miraculously found a receipt with our order on. She then told us that we had to pay £27 and whatever pence, even though we had already paid online. She should have know we had paid online, also anyone could claim to have paid online even if they hadn't because she didn't even bother to check that we actually had.
