Got the orders wrong again! We ordered crispy beef but received chicken, ordered house special Szechuan and they decided to send deep fried. Twice in a row we’ve been left disappointed. We will not be using them again.

We ordered food to collect - the food was not ready and told to come back in 30 minutes- I got a call to say that there had been a mix up so they will deliver it - it came cold and nobody ate it - when I phoned to say how poor the food was it was agreed we could have our next food free- it was agreed next order was no charge - tonight I tried to order 2 meals - not more than what was owed and told “no- just one thing free “ I will never use this shop again- disgusted and feel robbed of £30

If you haven't ordered don't bother going in I orderd and told come back in 40 mins thing is I walked there so had no choice but to wait seems telephone orders take priority against walk in customers, so now I go elsewhere 🤔

Overall Simon’s is a really nice place, however it takes forever for food, I understand it’s busy, but other Chinese takeaways are as busy, if not busier and they cope better. Staff always come across a bit abrasive

One of our main meals was missing when I called restaurant all they wanted to do was argue! Said they would send meal in an hour and a half and I would have to pay for their mistake! Thought the customer was alway right, what a joke and very impolite and greedy restaurant!!! Will not be back!!!

I normally like Simon and always got my Chinese there but unfortunately on Saturday night I got the same as always but the beef was inedible, I've never had meat as tough and chewy, even my dog couldn't chew it. 😢

It's obvious changes have been made and their for the worse-Used to be consistent with the quality and the way the meat was cut for the house special chow mein but not now,we couldn't even eat the beef in our meal tonight and we havn't bought their prawn crackers for a long time because now their sweeter and thicker too.

This is the best chinese takeaway we've come across in over 30 years.. And over the years we've tried a few different ones.. But we've always come back to Simons. Their meals are always perfect, generous servings and they will add or omit ingredients for you. We've used their takeaway for years and have missed them since covid-19 lockdown.

First time ordered Chinese from here as heard great reviews.We rang our order in before 6 and asked if we could pick up at 6.30. It was ready when we got there and was still hot when we got home,about 2 mile away.we had special fried rice, chicken chow me in,a very big bag of prawn crackers carton of curry and portion of chips.Meals were full of meat and lovely sauces.Only qualms would be chips could have been less crispy.Not sure how long it would have taken to be delivered was very busy but worth it.Will def be back again.

Better than most Chinese takeaways I've had in the past. Sauce, rice, noodle dishes are satisfactory. Not swimming in oil which is great. Battered options (Chipshop options) Are abit dry but still tasty nonetheless. Portions adequate, but for the price would expect just alittle more compared to other shops that price the same. I only order by delivery. Phone customer service could be abit more cheerie, always seem to be a rush. Overall will order again unless I find somwhere better.

This is a no nonsense non pretentious take away.The food is freshly cooked and hot. Don't know what the complainers are moaning about I've never had food swimming in grease, no more than I'd expect from a take away.You want gourmet, pay gourmet prices. This is honest chinese fare. End of.

Hemos estado usando este para llevar unos cuantos años y, por tanto, habla por sí solo.La selección es muy buena así como las raciones, el precio es un poco por encima de la media, pero esto me parece normal para comida china.Cuando hay mucha gente se puede esperar hasta una hora + así que si tu hambre y en vivo local es aconsejable recogida y son muy rápidos puede pedir y recogida en 20 minutos.Buena relación calidad-precio

Super noodles were better than the chow mein we got tonight... Soggy overcooked tasteless....paid £29.30 for meals that tasted terrible, when I called to complain I was told to return the meals to get a 10% discount off our next take away...I don't think so we won't be returning we would rather order with a take away that cares for their customers...AVOID!!

We have been using this take away for years. I have chicken curry with no onion and boiled rice . My husband likes the king prawn curry with boiled rice . We also have the chow mein. It's all perfect. I also love their prawn crackers, they are not too fishy .love them Would definitely recommend
