Shek Wu Take Away in East Northamptonshire

We wanted to try different to our usual place& we were blown away! Definitely will be going here from now on

It was absolutely delicious I had a lovely time the food came quick and was still hot definitely will be coming next time.

I ordered the chicken with mixed vegetables and fried rice. I was kindly given a big bag of prawn crackers too ❤️ The food was fresh and tasted delicious. Thank you so much 😊

We ordered because our usual Chinese was closed but it was absolutely delicious and will be our new usual! We received some freebies too which always make the order feel 10x better. Thank you!

Back in Rushden for a few days and so back to Shek Wu immediately. Only one issue, I forgot they only accept cash, not a big problem as the cash machine next door is free to use. Pictures are roast pork curry, egg fried rice and meat spring rolls.

The best Chinese food around here , and very generous portions . We have tried many but Shek Wu are the best , and the freebies are brilliant ( chicken wings and drinks and prawn crackers)

We ordered from the Shek Wu takeaway in Rushden last night and delivery was quite prompt turning up in about 30 minutes. We ordered the Chinese chicken fried rice with Chicken and Mushrooms and the Chicken curry with chips, there was plenty of it and piping hot too.... We had to leave some there was that much. My curry was very good, sauce a bit thick but a good 8/10 for that. Large portions.... And the bag of chips was enough to fill 3 adults up alone.... They were average. Very good and worth a look. 11th March 2024

Very good food which arrived promptly and still piping hot. Portions were large, the chicken fried rice was full of chicken strips and my curry was full of chicken too. Cannot fault the food or service and definitely one of the best we have tried.

Food was amazing, was cooked very quickly and portion sizes were very generous. No complaints. Would totally recommend if your in the area.

This Chinese takeway has the best cuisines in Rushden with my all time favourite dish. Crispy shredded beef! It is an absoultely wonderful dish for a cheap price. If you have high expectations, Come to Shek Wu chinese takeway today.

Best Chinese I have tried and amazing customer service

Easy to order over the phone, food ready to collect by the time I got there. Nice portions. Found the beef curry very bland and no one in the party liked the dry egg fried rice but this is obviously just our tastes. Had free chicken wings which were delicious and quite unique prawn crackers compared to other local takeaways went down a treat.

Always polite wen gone in to order or ring up for food never have a problem

Great food, decent portion sizes and good prices. Always arrives hot and is delivered quickly. Depending on the order size some extras such as chicken wings or soft drinks will be added too free of charge. One of our favourite family takeaway treats!

By far the best Chinese I’ve ever had!!!! Wasn’t to fond of the satay chicken but everything else was spot on!! Will defo be ordering from here again

Shek Wu is one of the best chinese i have ever had it was hot and the food was amazing would definitely recommend

We had the best food ever from there came early and everything good

Last meal I had wasn't to bad, had a funny day, got home late jus thought I have a takeaway, I wish I could take it back, every thing was so bland, everything taste the same, I enjoy food, but what I don't like is when you spend quite a bit of money on it, and it's poor that's jus not right....If it wasn't for the general public buying there food they'd have no business.......So please get some flavour in your food and win me back

After trying Chinese takeaways nearest to me I was beginning to think we would never find a decent Chinese take away. Thought we would try this one after reading the reviews and im glad we did! Really yummy and much like our old Chinese. Just wish they delivered. It says they do on the menu for an extra £1each mile outside 3mile radius but when I asked they said they don't. :-(

Wouldn’t give it a one star by choice worst takeaway of any kind we ever had,what a complete waste of money beef chow mein was the greasiest I’ve ever had. Beef inedible,rice dark brown and burnt,fried mixed veg tasted like it was boiled,and the chicken with ginger and spring onions was bland,and didn’t taste or resemble chicken at all,this was our one and only visit here,avoid if you like nice food.

The absolute best Chinese in Rushden hands down!

Please stay clear from this tax avoidance take away. Placed an order for collection and on arrival was met by a very rude member of staff and told cash only with no option of card. Can't comment on the food as didn't have it. Let's only support companies paying thier taxes. Will be reported.

Have ordered 4 or 5 takeaways from here now after moving to Rushden last summer. The food and customer service is always spot on. I have had many poor Chinese meals and until ordering from Shek Wu I actually hadn’t eaten Chinese in years having been put off. I am so pleased I can now enjoy it again. Excellent vegetarian options too!

Not much meat in chicken chow mein

Wow ... 1st time trying this establishment and am so impressed, the flavours are outstanding, the crispness has great crunch, the amount of food is huge - we were given a free chicken dish and free drinks - no faults at all - we've found our new Chinese Takeaway for sure

Great service and excellent food as always

Just had a lovely takeaway of Chicken Satay it all arrived hot and promptly and was superb. Will definitely use again and can recommend. Can't wait to try the Fillet Steak dishes.

Great portions...quick friendly service.

Absolutely fab food. Hopefully not to many people read this comment so we don’t miss out and their speedy delivery of lush food 👍👍👍

Everything about the place, food is wonderful 😋

Everything about the take away was perfect. Delivered on time, great portions, amazing flavour, great quality and good temperature. Will definitely be going back!

Live this place , good service and delicious food

Rice box deal is great £6 with a great choice & good value for money. Staff are helpful and friendly. Would like them to take card as makes it easier and convenient.

We have been using this Chinese takeaway for a good number of years now and can’t fault it. The food is always cook magnificently using fresh ingredients and they are always busy with repeat customers. I am more than happy to recommend the Shek Wu as the best Chinese takeaway in Rushden!

Terrible experience and the owners were very very rude to me and my son. They didn’t complete our order and we went to the mandarin house in earls Barton instead. This place was much better and the owner Ken lee was very kind to me would recommend going there instead

I’ve ordered from this place many times and recently they’ve gone down hill a mile. The chow main used to be absolutely scrumptious but now it’s worse than poo. The salt and chilli chips had no flavour not even a pinch of salt. Since this form of bad Chinese takeaway I have gone to fellow takeaway just down the road the Mandarin House in Earls Barton all the food is top notch and the staff are quick frankly impeccable. Highly recommend and whoever is experiencing this down fall at Shek Wu get down to the Mandarin House NOW!!! 👌👌👌

Good food deliver always on time nice staff who answer the phone 😊😊

I went there 17th Feb 22, first time customer. I will be going back. Massive portions, great food and quick service.

Wow . First time after several recommendations . Absolutely 1st class . Portions are huge . So becareful what you wish for ... weight gain ! Highly recommend

We had a terrible experience here - we placed a substantial order (over £70) and threw most of it in the bin. Will not be coming back here and will find an alternative. Soggy 'crispy' beef, undercooked batter on the chicken balls, the two orders of beef chow mien had some sort of jelly consistency on the beef. If this was the first Chinese food I had tried I think it would have put me off for life. Steer clear.

Great service, fast food . Delivered when they said and was hot. Highly recommend

Used this place a lot and always been good..... BUT today very very disappointed. I only need 1 bad meal and will never go back.. quality of food and standard of cooking very bad... goodbye Shek Wu..

Ordered dishes with one chilli showing on the menu. Thought it might have a bit of a hot flavour. Couldn't eat it. It was so hot my lips felt like they were burning. Won't order again .

Best chinese in town and iv been to everyone and that was only because shek wu was on holiday and there the best 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

Very very good, lovely soup and tasty ribs.

Fantastic food and perfect servoce everytime. Portions are fantastic. Have never found a better one locally. Sauces are tasty. Food is fresh and full of flavour. Food is also very consistent due to their chef. Prices all very reasonable too. Can't recommend enough.

After years of not finding a decent Chinese we tried shek wu for the first time this evening, the food was absolutely by far the best we have had.... well done, you have some new customers, we will be returning! Absolutely superb.

Quite simply the best Chinese takeaway in Rushden. Food is always first class and reasonably priced. Been using the Shek Wu for around 10 years now and haven’t found better!

I had a meal for 1. It was superb.

Amazing food, amazing service. Having tried a few chinese restarunts in town, shek wu really is the best in town. Wouldnt go anywhere else.

In an unfamiliar town, I checked Google for ratings of Chinese takeaways and Shek Wu came up with a decent score of 4.5 out of 5. Cash only was the first stumbling block as I had to go and find a cash machine. So much for paying by contactless card during the Covid-19 pandemic. The food was generous in portion, but sadly underwhelming in taste and texture. For one rated so highly, I dread to think what the lesser rated places are like. Next time I'm in Rushden, I'll probably try a different place. Shek Wu just didn't do it for me.

We used shek wu for a long while, changed to another takeaway who were closed on Saturday night for referb. Delivery time hour and a half , so decided to collect, which due to the amount of orders being placed was just as long despite a collection time. Food was not enjoyable, would say they have changed hands , but wont use again

Just one of the best Chinese takeaways you can get. The one thing you can’t fine with most takeaways is consistency, well Shek Wu does this every time without fail. A must for any Chinese food lover 👍

Thank you Shek Wu for a lovely New Year's Eve dinner. Ordered to just before opening to collect a couple of hours later. Despite being run off their feet they managed to provide us with a piping hot, tasty and thoroughly enjoyed meal. Even with free chicken wings and prawn crackers. Thank you

Always great quality food, large portions and nice staff

Very easy to phone through orders. Collection and delivery available. Delicious food, well worth the 10 mile trip to their premises. Definitely recommend.

Great value and very fast service. The staff are not very polite but the food, prices and speed kind of make up for that.

Without question the Best Chinese I have ever had 5 Stars

Thay keep throwing old food wast away in public wast bins. Just like the rest do. Please stop it. You no who you are. 😔😔😔😔

No1 Chinese takeaway , nowhere else comes close .

Ordered on a Monday, lady on phone was polite, 40 mins for food to arrive, delivery driver was polite. Food was absolutely lovely, good portions and piping hot. Cannot fault them, even had some free wings and cokes!!

Worryingly quick. We ordered six different dishes, was advised 20-30 minutes. Was a little concerned when the door knocked 15 minutes later. Rice was barely warm... Other food was reasonably warm on serving but by the time we had served and sat to eat everyone said it was cold. Impressions are maybe it’s Pre-cooked and microwaved. I finished most of mine. My three companions put much of theirs in the bin.

had a amazing curry rice and chips last night from shek wu best I've had.

It was nice food and a friendly service

Had some takeouts over the years but this takeaway is def the best . Will be a regular from now on .portions are big . Food not greasy even egg fried rice shows no grease on the plate. Staff lovely . Shop very clean .

I continue to visit this establishment because of the variety of dishes, the prompt delivery of service and the cleanliness of the front of house. The food is always tasty and plentiful.

One of the best which I even had

Good food, was a busy eveng for them so waited a bit but was worth it!

Best Chinese in Rushden by far! Only place I'll order from now and staff friendly. Don't know about delivery as always go and collect.

A traditional kind of Chinese like they cook at home I would imagine

Decent enough takeaway, but most all Chinese food outlets use the same supplier so it comes down to who keeps their cooking oils fresh.

Always a nice takeaway to visit food is promt and really nice

Having moved to the area recently I was looking for a good chinese takeaway, a work colleague went here recently on the way home and liked it, so figured I would try. I was not disappointed, excellent food. Just remember its cash only and no online ordering

I didn't hate it at all...is only that I've been just once...and it was intriguing enough for me to go again. Generous portions, decent prices, easy parking outside.

Duck is my favorite meat, however this duck was luke-warm, dry and stringey. Basically it felt like eating a clump of old, unwashed hair. Will be going back to China Town instead.

Ordered food for 3 of us, ended up with tons left over as portions are huge Lovely food nicely cooked not oily or greasy and full of flavour Glad couldn't park near our local and usual take away in Higham Ferrers...will definately be using Shek Wu again. Service fantastic staff lovely and waiting area spotlessly clean. Can't rate high enough.

Found the food very garlicky. A couple of rivals near by and I personally find them better.

By Far the best Chinese in Northamptonshire we live 25 miles away and do the 50 mile round trip atleast twice a month to get food because we love it so much

Great food best Chinese in Rushden

Loads of food but tasted bitter. Meat tough. Wouldn’t order again.

The best food around. Friendly and efficient. I'd give 6 stars if I could.

lovely food and great service!!

One of the best Chinese takeaways ever, and best in Rushden. Superb menu, with food expertly and tastily prepared. Highly recommended!

Outstanding quality, we are spoilt for choice locally but i'm confident this is the best Chinese takeaway.

I think this will be our last order here.. fried rice was good but the rest was 'ropey' .. chips were again dry and too chewy on the edges and the chicken isn't really chicken :/ it has a jelly like texture and looks like solid gloop when you break it open ... this really lets it all down , never used to be this way its a shame

Excellent food - sweet and sour king prawn balls to die for

Great food.just moved into the area and it's far the best takeaway we have had for a long time.

lovely! ordered and collected in 30mins on a visibly busy saturday evening. our meals were hot and extremely tasty! thank you so much !

Brilliant food absolutely loved the prawn balls definately recomending them to all.

Amazing food and very friendly staff ! Highly recommend !!!

Lovely food. Good Waiting time .friendly staff

Great food with excellent taste. Mongolian Chicken was fabulous, thoroughly recommend it.
