There are so many things wrong here asides the good food. 1. No card payment. I had to walk all the way back to Salford Shopping Center to use the ATM to pay for my meal. 2. Ladies at the reception are so rude and condescending, I was just going to walk away bar my hunger 3. Twice the prices have been inflated despite the prize listing. Maybe this is my fault but update your price list 4. No cutlery is added to takeaway meals (twice now)..Imagine buying your meal on the go. Either pack some cutleries or eat with your hand. Food was great so clearly the cooks know their onions but the experience isn't worth it all.

I bought a chicken fried rice and ended up with food poisoning that lasted for more than a week. I have never in my life been this ill from food before... The food itself tasted okay, but no food is worth making you ill.

The food is 5 stars. The only reason I gave 3 stars is their customer service, in particular the person that answers the call for deliveries. That woman is as rude as they come and needs to get another job! Multiple people have complained about her and dont order just cause of her attitude.

Don't listen to the negative reviews for Slow Boat, the food is delicious and the people serving are the friendliest ever and the portion sizes are very generous too. Try the salt and pepper ribs, best in the North West, we regularly eat here and are never disappointed.

So odd to see so many 1 star reviews. I’ve used Slow Boat for THIRTY years. Always great food, great value and clean. The best hot & sour soup. Rice is included with main meals, no extra charge. I’ve never had an issue with any of the staff,

I decided to place an order, however, the food was bland and was not as good as the one I had previously. I called to let them know politely but the lady on the phone had a very lackadaisical attitude. She couldn’t care less and had zero customer support empathy. Don't know about you but a bad customer service is a great recipe for distaste and a poor appetite

Please do not use Slow Boat. Extremely rude with no interest in their customers. Rang to place an order and spoke to a very rude abrupt woman who clearly need to find another job. Immediately cancelled the order after been spoken to in such a disrespectful way. I would advise anyone to think before using Slow Boat they do not deserve your money. Which is a shame as it used to be a great place. I hope the rude person finds some happiness as they are clearly very sad.

Staff who takes the order over the phone is VERY VERY rude! Customer service is absolutely shocking! Rude on the phone.

Very aggressive and rude staff. They clearly don't like their jobs and don't care about customers. The lady on the phone couldn't tell me what ingredients are in a dish. She snapped at me when I ask questions. It's not clear on the menu. Then the delivery driver god she has an attitude too. She was at the wrong building (I gave clear instructions btw the post code does get straight to the door) I walked over to another street to find her and she made me feel it was my fault and said wasted her time. I've never had any problems with delivery drivers finding my place. I would not recommend this place who are disrespectful towards customers. I'm going to the Golden Star instead much friendlier and normal.

Most rude lady taking orders. Disgusting customer service and worst and most bland Chinese food I’ve ever had. I wanted to swap my boiled rice with egg fried rice and she rushed me saying she can’t swap it because my order is ready and rushed me out of the shop. Of course when I got home, she forgot my MAIN course (my order was obviously not ready when she said it was). The option are very limited as well. Worst Chinese to date for sure!

Been going here for 30 yrs and tonight I was disgusted by the way one of the girls spoke to me. She was extremely aggressive and would definitely be sacked in a regular resturant. She was so rude and upset me so much that I made a mistake with the order and when I returned to correct it she was aggressive again and said “everyone in here is aggressive not just me”. Then a male appeared from the kitchen and I felt threatened. Disgusting behaviour from a load of youngsters working in a chippy that used to be a nice family business.

Rang up to place an order - extremely rude from the get go rushing my order - asked for a potion of “chicken spring rolls” as when I placed my order last time with them I asked for my usual duck spring roll - the gentlemen I spoke to explained they only do “chicken spring rolls” she practically shouted when she tried to stated they’re not on the menu- I explained this is what I was told I would have to order the other day and she said well that wasn’t me speaking - her attitude was an absolute disvheace I called back to ask for management - she stated she was management - I asked for her name and she ended the call - I am absolutely appalled at the way I have been spoken to, I have heard about this particular woman before but never experienced the disgusting rudeness until today - will never be ordering again - be careful if you order and give a slight wrong product off the menu down the phone - she may spit in your food as she was definitely frothing at the mouth the way she spoke to me

Been using Jade Garden for years ordered chicken fried rice, chips and curry sauce last night and this morning have been constantly in and out of the toilet without going in to too much detail exploding, not used them for a while and don't know if it's changed owners or not but won't be using again now....I'm hoping it's a 24 hour thing but I can't be too far from the toilet at the moment. Chicken was very bland as well they have definitely gone downhill!!

I have loved the food from this venue and told many people about it. I used to live in the city centre and could accept the waiting time. I have just been sat waiting for delivery for what is now hitting far over an hour. The delivery time also changed last minute for yet another half an hour - i tried contacting and it is "closed" so i assume I am receiving a "staff on the way home in their own time" delivery now. I placed the order well in advance so it wasn't trouble at the end of the night for anyone to make and I am very easy going. This is not acceptable for the time I have waited, the cost which I could have gotten cheaper from somewhere else, and also now I don't have food or the money to get an alternative. I have just finished a 16 hour shift and am not happy at all. I will not be using this company again and am very disappointed in this service. One night off work finally and I'm left without food for the night and no driver etc to be able to contact. Just a "closed" phone line.

I used to go here when I was a kid with my parents. I've recently been back to see if it's still as good as it was. Verdict; No, it's even better! It's so good I feel like proposing to the cheff! Always has been the best Chinese takeaway! Very highly recommended.
