Terrible service. We were told when ordering that it would be a 45 to 60 min wait. We waited 1h &30 mins I was trying to call them and no one answered the phone. We live local to the Chinese and when it eventually arrived it was cold we had to reheat the lot not good. Plenty of Chinese restaurants/takeaways in our area will not be using shengs again.

This was quite possibly the worst Chinese meal we've ever had. The only edible parts were the duck Pancakes, prawn crackers, egg fried rice and the chips! The ribs were chewy, the szechuan sauce awful and the crispy beef tasted of grease and was inedible.

Absloutley awful. The whole lot was inedible and I literally wasted £44. I ordered 2 hot and sour soup, chicken balls, prawn toast, crispy wan tun, special fried rice and special szechuan. This is the disaster I was served. It was binned. I tried calling the restaurant 6 times and no answer.

Really enjoy the food apart from the chips! The issue is they seem to be shut often and don't update their opening signs, a sign in a window is no good when you're ringing up! Maybe getting on social media would help?

The portions have got smaller but the price hasn't, FFS. Has the Colonel purchased all chicken in this country or are they avoiding my curry has they tried to top it up with enough onions a French man would get hard the chips were like dead man's fingers and the salt and pepper ribs the ocean wants some of their salt back make sure you have plenty of liquid by your side or have 999 on speed dial.

This is my mother in laws favourite Chinese takeaway, which is why I bought meals for six there on Sunday evening. The girl that answered the phone was very friendly, and the service at the counter was very good, but I'm afraid the food is not up to much. The Szechuan beef was unlike any other Szechuan beef I have had anywhere else, and not in a particularly good way. The sweet and sour chicken my wife had was equally disappointing. The other dishes were okay, according to the rest of the family, but I won't be in a rush to return.

Ordered a beef chow mein, when it arrived I was immediately disappointed to see that the only veg in it was a few halved mushrooms. As soon as I tasted it I honestly felt sick. The noodles had a weird sweet taste that I've never experienced anywhere before. It was truly inedible and I ended up having a bag of crisps for my tea. To add insult to injury it was the most expensive chow mein I have ever ordered. Never again.

The food was average, and it is on the pricey side. I had crispy wan tons which were ok.The chicken and cashewnuts contained plenty of both and had a nice slightly smoky char grilled undertone. The noodles were rubbery, and had a strange slightly sweet, slightly salty brown coating. I wouldn't get them again. It is possible that I would go back if I was nearby, but I wouldn't go out of my way.

I decided to give Shengs a second chance as I was not thrilled with my last takeaway, big mistake.The order for sweet and sour KING PRAWNS turned out to be small prawns in a batter that I could not cut as it was so hard (I do not mean crispy).I had to use my fingers and dip the whole thing into the sauce,even then the batter did not soften.The worse king prawns I have ever had.Soft noodles,how can anything go wrong,they were chewy not quite cooked it seemed.No more chances Shengs.

Had a takeaway tonight and thought we would try a new dish! What a waste of money! King prawn fried rice was literally fried rice with some king prawns. Beige and bland and big that nice! Crispy shredded beef in orange sauce! Shocking! Thin crispy beef that was stuck together and gloopy looking. The sauce was appalling! Looked like see through thin custard and has never had an orange near it. Come on Shenzhen get your act together. Your food isn’t cheap and you could at least add some veg in the dishes to bring flavours and colours. Won’t be back for a long time

This place has gone down hill. Their crispy shredded beef is an embarrassment. Comes separately from the sauce so it’s cold rattling around in the tub. Tasteless, dry and may as well be called crispy shredded gold with the amount of beef that is in it. The chef needs to hang their head in shame to which is quite possibly the worst crispy shredded beef ever made. A total mess and embarrassment of a dish.

We normally use golden lion but opted for a change in this fateful evening. To begin with it cost more...for less food, then it took nearly an hour (presumably the ribs, wan tons and prawn toast were cooking for this entire period).The food:Mixed starters - as above, fried beyond recognition, quite literally zero meat on the ribs and inedible prawn toast.Thai green chicken curry - looked creamy, smelt like nothing, tasted like nothing and the chicken was like rubbery feet. Rice - was clumpy and clearly reheated... Badly. Chow mein - was a really big serving... Which smelt and tasted of watery sewage, bits of old boot and overcooked noodles. Salt and pepper chips - literally just that, cheap chips with table salt and ground black pepper on them, about 4 slices of chili. Prawn crackers were ok, but unfortunately due to the waste of the other food, turned out to be the most expensive prawn crackers known to man. The only thing I'd ever have again were the drinks... Two cans of Fanta.

It has become our weekly ritual on a Friday to order in Chinese food from Sheng's. We are never disappointed. The time we wait for it , 30 - 45 minutes, is quite acceptable. We do sometimes get it a lot quicker. The best time to order, is before 6pm when the rush begins.

We have used this takeaway many times in the past. In fact I have reviewed it before and given it a good review.We decided to get a takeaway last night and in our selection we always have the shengs special fried rice. This has been excellent in the past.We ordered this chips and sweet and sour chicken.none of it was very good and nowhere near what it is usually like. The rice for example usually has 4 large prawns in it this had 2 and they did not taste very nice at that.The sweet and sour was just too sweet and sticky.I left more than half of mine. I really hope this was a blip.

Chinese is not my favourite take away. The reason is that often it can all taste a bit the same.We had relatives come to stay and I suggested a take away.

We used Sheng's after it had been shut for a refurb and hoped it would live up to its local reputation. The chicken dish we ordered had chicken covered in some kind of slime and the crispy won tons were soggy and un edible. The delivery time was good but the standard of the starter and main really let it down. Seaweed was good as we're the prawn crackers but as for everything else we were very disappointed. We will not use again unfortunately.

Yuk! Haven’t used Max for a while but fancied a Chinese and thought we would give it another chance as we had guests, but wish we hadn’t. Arrived barely warm and sweaty, presumably we were last delivery on the run. Chicken spring rolls were small but nice. Chicken balls over cooked, salt and pepper chicken and chips both refried to a point they were like rocks and overloaded with onion. Rice and noodles were ok, but the curry sauce was gritty. Really disappointed and won’t be returning, waste of £50!
