River Swan Basildon in Basildon

there is no Chinese like it I am new to the area and this is the best Chinese I have ever eaten portion sizes was good delivery time was fast and best of all it tasted AMAZING you have just got yourself a new regular

We decided to try this via food app our delivery was quoted at 18.15 but to our surprise it was delivered 1/2 early plenty of chips with the omelette and lots of rice in rice dish prawns in garlic very tasty will use again

We used to use this place when it was a eat in but it closed because of competition from a large chain. it has now opened as a takeaway and its still great value. The name changed but the food is still very good take away only but good price and quality

I ordered £40 worth of food from River Swan at 7:30pm... it said it was a 90 minute wait... bit lengthy but I understand in the current climate, things take a little longer. It is now 10:20pm and our food still isn’t here. I’ve spoken to the restaurant twice... the first call was a little concerning because the lady that answered was surprised that I ordered directly from their website. After a few seconds, she said it was on its way... this was around 9:05pm. I called again at 9:30pm... told again that it was on its way and they did apologise. We are now at 10:20pm and 56 attempted calls to the restaurant later. It’s an absolute joke!!!

Food normally very good from here but tonight they totally ignored our dietry requests and request for some chips - There were chips listed on their website and Just Eat but when we went to order via Just Eat they suddenly closed and we were unable to order. Asked for PLAIN rice noodles without beansprouts and they came with egg, beansprouts and onion. Received an extra dish which we didn't order - Don't have a clue what it was! Food came via 2 separate delivery drivers as they missed part of our order off. Ordered from them last week too and they cocked our order up then. It's a huge shame as the food itself is spot on.

I love to eat the food from River Swan, because is very tasty and prepared well!!! The delivery is always on time.

Not overly impressed and won’t be using them again. The food took ages and to be honest wasn’t worth the wait money or time took. Go to the one in laindon by station (don’t know name).

we were going to use one of the takeaway apps - cldnt login so called direct- v quick delivery (faster than on line estimate), food amazing! And worked out about £2.50 cheaper!

Food was amazing, like really nice. Ordered a few times now. Food has always arrived quickly with friendly delivery drivers. Open on Monday unlike other chinese that’s how we found them.

Food is fantastic. Don’t usually order from somewhere new as tend to stick to what we know but I’m glad the menu came through the door. I think the standard of taste in the food is on the same par as a fancy restaurant up London. Really nice. Salt and pepper chips wasn’t just salt and pepper like my previous Chinese this had chilli spring onion salt all cooked together. Their bbq sauce is banging Also got free prawn crackers and a handful of fortune cookies. I have used and will use again. In fact I’m finishing this and making an order lol

Have had several takeaways from here, prompt delivery service every time. The Singapore chow mein and rice extra spicy are very tasty would definitely recommend

Ordered from river swan very authentic home style cooked food, fresh ingredients and not too greasy/oily. food was steaming hot when arrived, quick delivery will order from here again, highly recommend
