Simons Takeaway in South Tyneside

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.

Reliable food and friendly service

Lovely Chinese for the family quiet cheap and amazing staff

The best food around..Although service can be slow most of the time..but tbh..its well worth the wait. Best chow chein and curry. Proper home made chips..which are lovely

Would be good if phone wasn't busy for over 20mins or taken off the huck

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

IF YOU HAVENT ORDERED FROM SIMONS YET .. THEN YOUR MISSING OUT !! BEST CHINESE FOR MILES .. wouldn’t order anywhere else xx proper chippy chips and every dish I’ve ordered is amazing Don’t get me started on the honey chilli chicken and the house special roast duck .. I’m addicted !!

Been coming here since 1989.....even moving house away from nearby didn't stop us getting our usual "Simons" 😁🩵

Best Chinese in shields. Spare ribs in bbq sauce are amazing and so is deep fried chicken in peeking sauce

Absolutely delicious. Got shanghai chow mein for a change. Gorgeous 😍

VERY friendly and helpful staff. Every meal we have had has been "top notch" and we have tried numerous. Definitely worth a try if you haven't already. We wouldn't go anywhere else now.

I never go any ware else for my curry and chow main.......

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!!!

Deffo the best Chinese in south shields

Food is very good, but you never no when they will be open. Sick of going and they are closed. The only day they are surposed to be closed is Tuesday.

Great Chinese quick service and great food always our first takeaway option.

Really quick service exceptionally good food. Second time I used and was well impressed 👏

Amazing food, great portions definitely best Chinese.

Attitude of staff leaves a lot to be desired, rude, no manners taking its customers for granted. I was a regular every week but now take my business to China Cook on Westoe Road.

Salty great slop vile why would any review unless they eat salty slopzzzz I'd never go here again vile stay away

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. 😢

Great local takeaway for scotchy and brockley whins, good value for money and proper chips, unlike most Chinese

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.

One of the best Chinese takeaways in southshields very nice

Good friendly service, food is never a disappointment

Best Chinese meals in the area.

Wouldn't go anywhere else for our Chinese

My debit card was used at this place on 7/5/20, only NOT BY ME, but more surprising it was used at 10.26 AM, are they even open at that time ????

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.

Lovely meals tasty and more than enough

Had to wait ten mins before I got seen to

The food is always lovely from here... and the portions are bigger than some places.they will also modify recipes for you. The quality is always spot on. Compared to a lot of the chinese takeaway places out there i'd have this at the top of the list every time.

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.

best Chinese takeaway for miles without a doubt

Always fresh and always beautiful food from here... Chinese is always lovely and go there at least once a week and on the traditional side they serve the best chips around .

Customer service is brilliant and the food is great, especially the chilli salt and pepper chips!

Great food. Decent portions. Friendly staff

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.

Tried here a couple of times now and haven't enjoyed at all. The chicken in particular is like reconstituted processed cubes. Extremely unpleasant wouldn't return.

Great food sometimes portion size is a bit small

we decided on simons tonight and the food was disgusting!! the chips were all soaked all the way through with grease and the fish was no betta everything was binned!

Use all the time lovely food but getting smaller portions all the time now

Always had a lovely takeaway curry sauce really nice

Best Chinese takeaway in the area

The food was tasty enough when hungry but it was very cold. Needed microwaving. The chicken didn't seem fresh, more like frozen chicken strips. Should of known not to order a Chinese from a place called "Simons"

delivery service bad nearly 2 hrs food stone cold then cheeky delivery guy ask if he can keep the change realy bad

Great choice of food and quick service

Good tasty food but portions are small for the price

Being told it will be 1 hour and it takes 2 bad service on deliverys

Used this takeaway a few times ,tonight's meal tastes nice but portion of chips and fried rice have been cut right back won't be using this take away again

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

Fantastic take away. Would recommend you order by phone, we forgot drove there and ordered in person. Friendly staff

Been coming here for years- wouldn't get my Chinese from anywhere else!! Beautiful tasting and quick if you collect it :)

The best Chinese in south shields 👍

not good at all. expensive with small portions

It's a small take a way but the food is good for the price. I've been going for two and a half years and had no complaints. The black bean sauce is magic

Very small portions of below average food at a high price. The chips are average but im sure they count them.

My fave Chinese takeaway. Good choice of food on the menu. I can recommend the ribs and most of the specials including the Da Da Chicken

Very nice indeed,never had a bad meal from there yet
