Phone A Meal in Sefton

Depending which chef is working (there are at least 2) the food is either 5 star or 3. On this occasion I was lucky. It's a shame one isn't so good as it puts me off going.

Delicious, hot, proper chippy and Chinese inspired food. Perfect for a Friday night, or any other night!

Fast delivery but food was awful regular customer and never had a problem but spring rolls cold in middle cheap tasting meat in chicken main not sure if different chef but won’t be returning takeaway expensive and most went in the bin

Chips were undercooked. Pie and sausage diner looked horrendous

Honey Ribs were hard?? Savoury cake was also hard. BBQ sauce was msg gel. 🤷‍♂️

Delicious - best Chinese Chippy in Formby

food is normally good but unfortunately the chipped weren't cooked and the ribs where cremated

usually pretty decent meal but the burgers tonight were terrible. very over cooked and pretty much inedible, they ended up in the bin after a couple of bites. Very disappointed as we've had food from here a fair few times

the delivery lady was brilliant

Been poor last few orders, this time round was a bit tasteless, not what you expect from a curry.

Second time used this food outlet within a month, and what a difference and have to agree with trip advisor reviews ....do not use, definitely not recommended. Food luke warm, beef green pepper black bean sauce 6/10 poor quality meat and as for chicken pineapple, disgustingly gloomy, and tasteless 0/10. Egg fried rice x2 fair.

Ordered via JE app having had a good meal and on time a few week ago. Hit very lucky obviously as tonight's delivery was 15 mins late and luke warm. Beef green pepper black bean sauce average to poor and chicken pineapple was so gloopy, disgusting to point worst Chinese ever had, it's already in the bin. If we'd took notice of previous TA comments, we'd have never have used this outlet.

Disgraceful once again came back from holiday today ordered food at 7.10pm it’s now 8.50 pm no food been promised it 20 mins ago and once again they don’t answer the phone this late what a bloody awful service don’t promise what you can’t deliver you should be ashamed of yourselves again I love your food but the service is shocking beyond belief I am so angry 😡

had to phone about my order but the food was 10/10 so worth the wait

First time used the JE app and chose food from best rating review on Chinese. Right on cue timewise and tast food. Will use this takeaway again for sure.

Delicious, arrived on time…always a good order from here! Thx guys 🤩

Pre ordered food for party of 11 through Just Eat which sadly arrived late. Overall the quality of the food that arrived was disappointing. The hot & sour soup was neither hot nor sour, a bland bright red liquid with minimal ingredients. Chicken & sweetcorn soup just bland gloop. Spring rolls squashed flat lacking filling. Main courses not very flavoursome and the king prawns were dry and tough. All food temperature was just tepid. Will not use this takeaway again which is disappointing as it was once our favourite. An expensive waste of money.

just moved to the area and this is our favourite takeaway 😋

Food very high standard. Girls work so hard. Great service

Ordered crispy duck was inedible so overcooked and dry

Chinese with a banter. The staff here are very friendly, dog friendly and makes up for the chinese cuisine. The fish and chips would be a great alternative.

Missing item which was disappointing unable to contact restaurant

Delivery was ridiculously quick, however the food bang average unfortunately

Cant go wrong with this place. Duck was fantastic cooked to my liking as asked. Only thing could do with more than 6 pancakes but for price anyway is fantastic. Hot n sour soup was amazing full of meat aswell. Portion of prawn crackers was massive. Salt n pepper chicken fab too. Honestly couldn't fault a thing. Was guttered when I tried to order again few nights after but must have been night it's closed. Defo recommend this place and it's defo my go to now.

There was a reason we ordered for 6.25pm so 40 minutes late really caused a problem.

absolutely love the food from here, very tasty , always hot , not to salty like other Chinese food outlets. Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants good tasty Chinese food.👍🏻

Thursday delivery drivers - most friendly and always delivery early 👍

Our meals arrived lovely and hot and they tasted great.

Not the tastiest Chinese takeaway 😕

Really disappointed with this as the standard is usually great. Rice was saturated and I had to bin it. Meal was also bland

Early delivery was great ...we were hungry so it was a bonus. Delivery driver was lovely

always good food and great service.

Great food, 2nd order from this place and plenty more to follow

1st time ordered from here, very impressed with the food, very tasty. Will be back for sure👍🏻

Very good Fish, Chips & Curry. Singapore Vermicelli spot on aswell.

Food was brilliant. Beef curry absolutely fab. Thank you! X

Myself and family have used phone a meal for a long time. Ordered delivery a few months ago for pie and chips...the pies were grey, rubbery and obviously old. The chips were also old, when they go hard and chewy. Tonight I decided to give them another chance on the english menu. The chop suey roll was thin batter and looked like it was left over from lunch time. The chips? Well..let the photo speak for itself. Totally inedible (I put part of it on plate to show). Saturday night, I at least expected quick turn around of food..so it would all be fresh. Not so. Maybe more people are realising the quality has nose dived. Will be moving on to other places now

fantastic speedy delivery, and fab food as always

Well, after us ordering for many years, tonight was the final straw. Foo Yung has always been great but tonight it was undercooked scrambled egg. The fried rice was room temp (not safe). Not good enough. No more orders from us.

Quarter crispy duck barely made three pancakes I was also cold.

Food was freezing cold, late and half the meal was missing. Tried calling them for 45mins and constantly engaged, obvs took the phone off the hook. Poor.

Nice food, I’m not very mobile and delivery girl is always very helpful

This Chinese take away plays on the fact it’s the only local outlet available. It’s really not worth the wait, I have given it too many chances! No more from me!

Waited tonight for our delivery. Fri night. 🙄But did not dissapoint. Extra hungry. Delish as always.

Terrible, food was stone cold and soggy and I didn’t know Sui mai had bones? Nearly lost the missus on Valentine’s Day. Chicken was tough as old boots and was nearly 2 hours late. Never going to order from this place again

Lovely food I order each Friday and always look forward to it!

REALLY FED UP OF THE INCONSISTENCY IN QUALITY. Either all of the food is good or all of the food is awful. Must have something to do with the cooking staff but it becomes a waste of money when it's like tonights. Horrible chips, chewy with a nasty taste, like reheated old ones. Cod nothing like Cod, tasteless and full of grey fish. Batter very greasy and hard- yuk. Whoever manages the place needs to deal with this issue.

My order was delivered very quickly, earlier than expected time. The food was delicious and hot.

Lovely food. Yet again. Just need crispy seaweed back on the menu. Been unavailable for a few weeks now. But good and tasty. ❤️

food was cold as they were waiting for a driver

Delivery girl is always helpful and pleasant

Always amazing food, we love the Garlic and Chilli chicken, always has to be on our lists!

Never had a bad meal from here. It's take out only

Food was cold and chips and fish swimming in oil. Soup was watery and all three of us couldn’t eat it

Driver didn’t follow very clear delivery instructions

Was nice arrived on time hot and lots of sauce all good

chips were forgotten but they instantly sent someone out apart from that food was excellent and still warm

Not sure if Just Eat is slow to update, but meals are always a bit earlier than it says, but that's no problem. Food hot on arrival and super tasty.

Absolute disgrace. Took money via justeat, but didn't deliver order. When I called, they pushed me back onto justeat, who also wouldn't refund. I asked phoneameal if they could just do the order again, but wouldn't.

Not as good as normal. Probably a busy night. Still decent enough though.

Only found phone a meal during COVID lockdowns after living in Formby for years. The price is amazing, the food is delicious and the delivery is prompt and also very friendly. Highly recommend

never received food I want a refund

Excellent value. Friendly delivery

Food was lovely again and I understand that the weather played apart in the delay, but missing the prawn crackers this time :(

Food was Luke warm needed to microwave

Always great food and gigantic portion sizes. Excellent value for money.

Cold squashed and had pork in egg fried rice!! Not nice

Food was cold , no chicken and only one piece of beef in the curry

Always to a high standard- fantastic salt and pepper ribs

I rang and ordered Singapore chow mien and salt and pepper chicken wings and was told to collect in 20 minutes. I arrived at the shop 20 minutes later and was still stood there 25 minutes after that until a customer came into the shop to return his meal as it was the wrong one, yep, it was my meal he had taken home and brought back again. The Singapore chow mien was very bland tasting and the salt and pepper chicken wings are the worst I've had. I've lived in Formby just under a year and I have tried all the chippes (some more than once) and there are sadly no decent Chinese chippies in Formby other than the restaurant. I will start driving into Crosby from now on.

The food here is always great. It was late today but that's the first time they've ever missed their time.

Arrived 45 minutes late, cold on arrival.

Absolutely 💯 lovely and very tasteful, was missing the large chips but was able to make it work.

I can't fault any of the food I have had from this Chinese chippy. It's cheaper than any other chippy in Ainsdale and the food arrives hot, although it does take a while at times. In all a great chippy and good value for money.

The chips are much better now, fresh whole chips instead of rock hard scraps, makes a big difference. The ribs were lovely and very filling and mushroom fried rice was super tasty. We'll definitely order again.

Since when did a portion of chips cost £3.50! Chips have gone down the pan too. Poor

No flavour. More onion than meal. Disappointed with the chow mein

a bit late but can be expected because of fireworks night food always good

As every another delightful meal, if you haven't tried these before pretty much everything I have had from here has been spot on 5* from me

From delivery to food absolutely fantastic

Lovely! The best chicken in black bean sauce I’ve had in a long time. Good quality pieces of chicken. Can’t believe I haven’t tried their Chinese meals before.

Deliciously hot food, arrived early

Very hot and very tasty.Delivered early

Very hit and miss. No continuity at all.

I’ve never had a problem with phone a meal when I’ve had it at other peoples houses, we’ve actually always really liked it. I’m a single parent of 2, and my daughter who has additional needs and who is underweight and struggles with eating, begged me to order from phone a meal. So as I can hardly get her to eat anything I decided to order tea for her, myself and my 2 year old. We wanted an early tea and early night ready for back to school tomorrow, so the fact we had to wait for 50 minutes for it to arrive really caused a massive issue for me. My daughter was stood at the window for the whole 50 minutes begging me to get her her food, so it was heartbreaking that I couldn’t do it for her. In the end I had to feed my son something different as it was far too late for him to be eating. I rang up phone a meal twice and the girl was so, so helpful and really apologetic. I completely understand that they’re busy, but it had such a negative impact on my whole evening. When the food eventually arrived my daughter didn’t want it because it was cold and all stuck together like it had been sat in the bag for the whole 50 minutes. I completely understand these things happen, but I’m really saddened by the fact I can’t afford takeaways often with being a single parent, and the one time I treat my children, it ended up being completely ruined.

Fantastic as always. Gorgeous food. The best around.

Fabulous food ,always delivered on time ,piping hot ,just amazing !

fourth time ordering and definitely the last chips cold an tasteless, spring rolls shrivelled up as if they had been sitting hours chow mein plain no sauce added not even a bit of soy to take the dryness away appalling food

Absolutely gorgeous food hot I loved it amazing taste see you tomorrow

The food was cold when it came , the delivery was late and when I contacted phone a meal they wasn’t very helpful

While the food was late, it was also cold. The pie is over cooked. Ordered a large chips and basically got a small delivered. Very disappointed

Singapore vermicelli was tasty and generous portion size.

This time the chips were fresh and tasted good with full chips and no tiny bits. The ribs were lovely, meat falling apart. Foo Yung was yummy. All food was hot. If they can make food this good, why isn't it like this all the time?

Fantastic food, highly recommended

Order was bland and nothing like usual

Always good, huge portions, great quality and good value for money.

Food dry, over cooked and not good at all

Cold, 20 minutes late, food quality was atrocious, used to be a superb Place this, but it’s gone downhill

Was late, freezing cold and didn’t even taste like it usually does, there was no veg in sauce and no taste of garlic or chilli was like a completely different meal than the one I always get and it’s in the bin!

Absolutely gorgeous the bbq ribs were amazing and just fell off the bone 😋
