Ping On Chop Suey House in Gateshead

Been going here about 35 years always lovely food

Beautiful food quick service will definitely be back x

Delivered on time food nice and hot and most importantly hot value for money I would definitely recommend the ping-on chop suey house Gateshead thank you for your very tasty Chinese takeaway

Been using Ping on for 40years now best ever carry on the good work

Ordered tonight food come hot curry was amazing

Fresh cut chips. What more could you want. Every dish is amazing

Best food ever I had for a takeaway. Used them for years and my only problem is that they are not open 7 days a week.

DO NOT EAT HERE. My boyfriend had fried chicken balls from here last night (19/03/24) and has since been severely throwing up every hour since. He is very seriously ill after eating here. He ate nothing else all day, and was feeling perfectly fine before he ate. The chicken was white and looked cooked through - so suggests filthy sanitary and food hygiene standards. Stay away for your own health.

Ping On food is usually good apart from any mushroom dishes, they are disgusting. We had a take away today (3 Feb 2024) and we especially asked if their mushrooms were fresh and white, (not good a couple of times previously!) they assured us they were fresh, white mushrooms. Once again, they were disgusting, old, and sloppy 🤢, we couldn't eat them, this spoiled our meal. This has put us off from ordering again. Take away for most people is a treat and very expensive therefore we need good food!!

Lovely food my local one closed so tried a few before ping on but this is by far the nicest food the gravy is my favourite

- Call in advance and pre-order - they are clear and punctual. - Usually busy, but you can park in the pub car park or the on street outside - The chips are really nice. - Honey chilli crispy beef is sweet but not spicy - Singapore noodles are tasty but again not spicy It’s fine for the price. Not deserving of a lot of the very critical reviews in my opinion. Maybe it could do with a spruce up but I guess it’s got personality.

Very nice and would highly recommend the munchies box of you like the salt and pepper chip and chicken

Nice meals, but chips are the best of any takeaway

Not the best looking place but the food was the important factor. Always had good meals from here over the years but the past two times it has been poor. All meals were very salty and ended up with majority in the bin.

Excellent food at good prices. Very Northern Chinese Old Fashioned Food in Geordie Portions. Open kitchen you can see what’s cooking, where, by whom.

The place is Dirty. I was staying in the area for work. I ordered a special curry. It was absolutely vial. The meat was slimming.and tasted like the meat was off I had one mouth full and put it in the bin. Go at your own risk

Used to be the best in Gateshead went in Saturday night it was terrible wet soggy chicken the whole family complained not sure if we would go back again

One of the oldest Chinese in Gateshead been going here since 1969.

It was nice a great Chinese takeaway

I always get the munchie box and the mini mix, never had anything to complain about. Food is so tasty and service is fast too.

Not my favourite but nice enough. Have used on several occasions over last 20 yrs.

Was pretty greasy the last time we went. Put us off a little bit. May try again but may go somewhere else.

box full to the top of what you ordered

Lovely Chinese food, it’s always nice and tasty full of flavour. Defiantly recommend people to try it.

Love this Chinese takeaway food great fast service easy to order vast menu delivery service great all drivers friendly always delivered within an hour of ordering

This place is a place I've used for over 15 years. Delivery or collection you just will not get better than this, it's the best I've had anywhere and I would not dream of using another unless Ping on is closed. Very well cooked and healthy oils with great chef's. This place is a credit to the community and for some a vital means of eating conveniently. Lovely staff who are always really friendly. China rules and I'm loving your food.

Really cracking local Chinese takeaway. Moved local so thought we'd try it. Had the salt and chili munchy box and it was delicious.

I always love the Chinese chips from here oh my days they are the best. Don't eat meat so I can't comment on that. But what I do get I can not fault. One thing I will say is you can not get traditional Chinese chips from anywhere and this is the only place i know that does do them.

Love this place.freshly made and always hot.

Used to be best Chinese around.. ordered chicken curry . Definitly did not taste like chicken , was to slimy and soft.. definitly not be having anymore Chinese unless I saw what actually went into it

My favourite Chinese ever! They’ve never let me down once. Delicious, hot and always on time or early. Won’t go anywhere else.

Can't fault the food. Hot as always. Flavours just burst into your mouth. Sweet and sour Hong Kong style is the best by far from any other take aways. My only issue is that delivery is always 45mins to an hour. They obviously always busy. Its a good thing. Then you know food is top notch. I'm just too greedy to wait at times

Been going here for years . Lovely food ,quick service . Place is a bit rundown but the food is nice

Best food ever thankyou pingo xxhugo bear

Best Chinese takeaway in Gateshead without a doubt, better than most in Newcastle too even (excluding Stowell Street restaurants obviously) First discovered when I moved into a flat a few doors down 14 years ago with my then Fiancé, who loved their food also, saying their dishes are the most Authentic tasting and closest to true Chinese style of cooking she had ever tasted outside of South East Asia...being Taiwanese and her Grandparents Chinese, she knows better than us! In fact, despite having split up over a decade ago we still talk regularly and she still claims that even now, having lived and travelled the width and breath of Europe over the last 10 years and UK 6yrs prior to that, she has yet to experience anything closer to the flavours she grew up with! Above all, I will highly recommend schezwan chicken (ask for crispy chicken) is the best I've ever tasted.

Hadn't been here in years, but glad to see their food is still top notch.

Honestly how people can rate this place at all is beyond belief, and how environmental health hasn't shut it down is beyond me too. The place is an utter rats Hotel... I was hungry and decided to have something again and it just gets worse and worse, people say the chips from here are the best, where have they ate chips before? In my opinion if I dropped the chips into a ashtray of soggy tab butt's I would find it hard to distinguish the butts and chips apart, terrible as always.

Best around been a customer for over 20 years and still continue to go after moving away from the area but so worthwhile to travel.

Chinese takeaway long established in the Bensham area of Gateshead popular with the locals and offering great traditional fare Delivery service to nearby homes available on request

Best Chinese take away in Gateshead all there food is lovely but by far the best chips not just for Chinese but even better then most chip shop

ordered special chow main and special curry rice and chips. Curry to salty and prawns in the specials were tlny, the smallest ive ever seen. On a positive note the chips were good. Lot of money for chips.

Worst Chinese food I've ever had, every dish ordered looked like it was thrown together from the day before's scraps bin.. This was beyond bad..5 dishes bought and not one of them edible...What Chinese Takeaway can't even get curry sauce right? This place is trading on the strength of a 30 year old reputation that it doesn't live up to..Don't waste your time and money....

I only gave it 5 stars because of the photo they use to attract customers (lol)

Have used this take away over the years but standards have dropped, last night was the Worst meal ever!! Waited an hour and a half for meal to arrive ( not the first time it’s taken this long either) an unappetising tasteless meal !! needless to say will not be going back

Not.the.best, but decent. Consistant decent quality.

great little take away very welcoming staff

Ping on has really went back on service.. last.week waited over 2 hours for delivery.. now tonight waited over 1 hour to only get half of what I ordered!!!

Fab food...👍😏...Just need to empty more drivers....waited 2 hours for delivery....😡

By far the best Chinese food takeaway there is. Love this place.

Best takeaways in Gateshead..food beautiful. Tasty piping hot..never been dissatisfied yet..

Was better before it got taken over

Cracking food, chips are fabulous.

Gone down hill from the last time a had something from here and the delivery time from ordering it’s absolutely shocking

Always great quality, never a bad meal over the last 30 years. Have never found a better Chinese curry anywhere. Thanks for the memories guys (and the extra pounds 😂)

Been using this takeaway since I moved here in 1983 and with the very rare exception the food has always been excellent. The staff are friendly and the food always arrives in good time and piping hot.

My family to include my mam, my grandma myself and my immediate family have all used this Chinese for more than 40 years + I order from here regularly and every time it is outstandingly Delicious food always fills the plate and makes a hungry tummy very happy same owners same delicious food from day one thanks Edmund keep doing what your doing it's FANTASTIC 😀😉

Just witnessed the owner (I think) chewing on something then spit it on the kitchen floor, won’t be going back

I ordered some chips and they were only half cooked it will be a long time before I go back there

I haven't been to this takeaway for several years as I've moved. When I did use it, it was the best Chinese takeaway I have ever come across and I've lived all over the UK in many homes. The staff were very friendly and once they get to know you they put your order up quickly as they remember what you normally order.

Local Bensham Chinese takeaway very long established situated on Bensham bank and Brighton Road friendly staff substantial menu

Fried rice came in a plastic bag like one big bowl of mush. first time I've ever tried the place I don't think I will ever try it again an absolute waste of money even the dog wouldn't eat it.

Rang the order in and less then 15mins later guy was at the door ... Piping hot and very nice...... Great place to order food lovely staff ...

Ordered here many times food always been spot on fast delivery hot tasty just beautiful and good portions never had bad from here ever

DO NOT GO HERE! I wouldn’t feed the meal I had to a dog. New owners with no respect, the place has went massively downhill.

Nice food good size portions well priced

Good Chinese food well cooked and plenty of choice for those wanting english food. No dedicated car park and limited off street parking available. On main bus routes and stops very close to shop.

Good service, canny simple but nice food.

We normally do love the service and good food from here but tonight we ordered the food for delivery at 738pm we received it at 10pm .... with a £2.40 discount for the in convience The food wasnt cooked until 930 pm bit disappointed to say the least ....

Love this place the food from here's always outstanding and prices are reasonable, lovely friendly staff that always give you a smile ☺

Been visiting here for over 20 years, always been good.

Normally on time. Good food. However today it's 54mins late and counting. I'm starving and don't want to put anything in incase it does eventually arrive and I have to waste one of them. I ordered it at 20.40, it is now 22.37. They said it would arrive between 45-60 mins. I've had no calls back reporting any delays or a loss of directions. Edit: food just arrived after I sent this review at 22.44 was given no explanation or a "Sorry I'm late."

Ping On is one of the best Chinese take away in Gateshead. Decent portions and very tasty. Reasonable prices. Recommended!

Always excellent food whatever I order I even travel from Kingston park for it

Food very tasty hot and plenty of it simply the best thanks guys x

If you could give no stars then I would give minus ten one mouth full and I'm choking on a disgusting lump of what must be gravy salts I have never rated this place but for some reason the family being from bensham feel the need to buy food from here and it's simply awful sorry not a negative person but when it comes to ping on well it's Ming on

Terrible order from here tonight!!! Chicken like rubber, very chewy, salt & chilli chicken had no chilli on!!! The Peking sauce was rotten, like jelly could turn it upside down & it would budge!! WORST Chinese I have tasted in my life!!!

Loved this place when I lived on Brighton road...delish 😁

The best take away ever the food is amazing

Brilliant food every time !!!!!

Good quality food good portion sizes

Lovely fresh cooked food and the time to prepare food is excellent done within 15 mins

Lovely food been going here for years and hopefully years to come

One of the best Chinese I have had in the Northeast of England. Nice friendly staff and fast service. Happily recommend and will be using in the future for take out orders.

The food is discusting. How anyone can eat at a place that dosnt rate a 4or 5 star food hygeine. is beyond me the kitchen is filthy

Great food delivered piping hot, the best takeaway in the area. They have an extensive menu at very reasonable prices. Highly Recommended!!

When it comes to wanting delicious Chinese food in the Gateshead area this takeaway is the one to use. I have mine delivered, the food is always piping hot and SO delicious. There's a huge menu to choose from, and you get real value for money. Highly Recommended!

I've been coming now to the Ping On for over 30 years. My mother would treat me occasionally with a beef curry, this was when I was 7 and the memory of this is vivid. Now that I'm 37, the quality of food and service has not changed. I've move up to a mixed meat curry now but it's just as good as ever. I would always recommend for a budget friendly, great tasting authentic meal.

By far the best takeaway. My family and I have been going for years and its consistently excellent.

Can't get any better than this place

Best chinese by far i've moved and still travel to get to it ! awesome

All I have to say is simply the best

food is the best a round never had bad meal from there if ppl say the food is crap they want their heads testing beening going here 4 15+ yrs

Living in the area I would say this is probably the Chinese take away in the area that's why it has lasted for many many years the owners and staff are ver helpful and friendly serving a wide range of dishes which are great value would defiantly recommend this take away

Me encantó en Bensham cuando yo era joven y la mejor pizzería chino era estos chicos así que esta noche mientras conducía volver de Durham estaba soñando con patatas fritas, después bingo mi jogging todos los de memoria! Un cartón de patatas fritas en curry picante chino y tan bueno como siempre!

Always get a good meal from here been going now for over twenty years and had one poor meal .the portions are good and the menu choice is extensive and very reasonably priced .the staff are always very pleasant and helpful.the delivery service is always on time time and the meal kept hot when it arives I would recommend the take away no problem at all hope you enjoy if you try the food

La mayoría de la comida del ping es agradable y es precioso siempre es caliente y fresco. No cumple en whickham lo que es una pena Sin embargo la comida es la pena el viaje.

Nosotros usamos esta llevar su estancia con la familia. Nunca he tenido una mala llevar y tener ordenados desde aquí durante años que es una Política. Si hay un plato que quieras que no está en el menú, que en sí es un duro que...

There's a few reviews on here but they have been mistakenly put on thinking it's the restaurant ....this is takeaway only and situated on bensham bank in Gateshead...I've been going to the ping on for years....lovely staff...top notch food....best things on the menu are special fried rice with chips and curry or the beef in satay sauce...lussssh! 10/10 from me....fantastic!

Excellent Chinese takeaway. Have been several times. Don't take any notice of other reviews. This is one of the best Chinese about.

been going here for over 30 years and in that time I have never found a better mixed-meat curry.
