Southwold & Reydon Chinese Take Away in Waveney

Found out a Fantastic Chinese Takeaway when I came here for holidays , great foods and lovely service here, I recommended this place

Absolutely shocking, food was inedible! 2nd visit food worse than 1st.We visited this Chinese on Friday, the 13th of August, now I appreciate Friday the 13th can be an unlucky day, however, I had no idea it was going to be this unlucky!We ordered sweet-and-sour chicken balls, chicken curry, boiled rice and mini vegetarian spring rolls, The chicken balls were pale in colour soggy huge lumps of batter with tiny pieces of chicken inside them, definitely not value for money.The boiled rice was clumped together I appreciate this often happens with takeaway rice and the chicken curry was awful, It tasted as though it had 4 ounces of sugar just in my own curry portion, it had very little curry flavour and was heavily over powered by Chinese five spice, The most pleasant part of the meal were the mini vegetable spring rolls, hard to do anything wrong with those given they come in frozen!We actually enjoyed the pancake rolls but the rest of the food cooked by this Chinese was utterly vile, I wouldn’t recommend anyone purchase food from here it is not good quality and it’s certainly not good value for money.We used to purchase from this takeaway regularly a few years ago when it was owned by the previous people James Qian and his lovely wife Jenny, in four years of them running it I only ever had to mention an issue with the food once, it was sorted instantly!…….I usually drive over to them in Oulton broad to buy my takeaway as their food is unbeatable, but the traffic was simply too busy today so we decided to go here instead.Never again!!!!!!I wish I could review with zero stars but unfortunately that’s not possible so I’ve begrudgingly given them one star, which I feel is being exceedingly generous!!!!Date of visit: 13th August 2021

We had been recommended this takeaway by the landlord of our B&B in Wangford where we’re staying, over the one in Wrentham. Ironic that last night’s meal from Wrentham gained full marks and this a pathetic zero. The king prawn chop suey consisted of a bunch of prawns in a very watery sweet and sour sauce filled with nothing but bean sprouts. Where was the noodles and the other veg, guys? Just half a dish?The House special fried rice was more like a wet curry, hardly qualifying for the term fried, and it took us some considerable time to work out exactly what it was, leading us to almost reach for the phone claiming the wrong dish had been sent. The Chinese Style chicken was again, just skivers of chicken in a nondescript sauce with nothing else. While being visitors to the area warrants nothing to actually make us bother to report our lousy meal to the restaurant itself, as we are not in danger of being repeat customers, I hope this review will make future customers stop and take note.

Since moving here 1 year ago i can't fault it for value and the dishes i've had, too close to home i using it too much now....:-)

Been coming to Southwold on holiday for many years and we didn't realise that this takeaway existed , never had any info left in any of the cottages we stayed in.Found it when we drove on to the industrial estate, not the sort of place you would think to look , not much to look at from the outside but the food is delicious, some of the best we have had.Well worth finding.

We bought a meal here on a Saturday night in October. Finding the place was fairly difficult as it isn't really signposted in the industrial estate, but being at night it was lit up so stood out when we finally saw it.The organisation of the food orders was in total disarray and the Covid safeness was very low in the building.It was very busy so it took a long time for our order to be ready, which felt even longer as we'd ordered in person and waited outside.We had beef in black bean sauce and sweet & sour chicken balls which were nice.

Looking for a chinese takeaway for our family trip to Southwold led me here.Finding a menu isnt the easiest, but have a dig around on Facebook and you'll find it, then finding the takeaway can be equally as challenging on an industrial estate but fear not, working on both is well worth it.We had the mini spring rolls, a couple of chow mein dishes, 1/2 crispy duck, S&S chicken balls, a couple of rice dishes and a thai red chicken curry. All were really really nice and everyone enjoyed the food.Value-wise it was good too.I'd happily return to this takeaway and recommend it to others.

We order from here about every six weeks and it’s still the best chinese take away we have had anywhere. Gets very busy on wet cold nights when everyone is staying in and sometimes their timings are off but it’s still worth the wait.

Having read some of the reviews, I was slightly nervous. We ordered for 14. It was very good indeed. It was delivered on the dot of the time we requested. It has to be five stars from us as that is no more than they deserved.

We had takeaway from here as a holiday treat. The duck pancakes came without plum sauce or cucumber and spring onion, just duck and pancakes so very dry. The chicken skewers in the mixed starter had no satay sauce. The beef dish i thought i had ordered was actually chicken when we served up. The kids enjoyed it but myself amd husband were not impressed.

Decided to use them while staying at a Reydon holiday cottage. Very impressed! Easy to order by phone,helpful friendly staff,and arrived promptly. Meal was superb! Will definitely use them next time we are in the Southwold area. Highly recommended.

Ordered twice from the Southwold and Reydon Chinese takeaway whilst staying in a holiday cottage in Southwold with the usual less than adequate cooking facilities. Ordering easy, delivery quick and food, in my opinion, excellent. Being based on an industrial estate this is admittedly quite a bit different from ones usual idea of a takeaway but it works and the true test is in the eating. Gone forever are the days it seems when Southwold had its own Chinese takeaway (and an Indian for that matter) being replaced by the trendy branded clothes shops!

We holidayed in a lovely cottage in Reydon last week and due to the current situation with social distancing and restrictions in restaurants and pubs used them twice. Once was a telephone order for collection and once was a telephone order we had delivered, both were dealt with highly efficiently.Excellent food, good value for money and a great service. I would highly recommend.

We ordered over the phone and asked for delivery to our holiday cottage. Both the lady on the phone and the delivery driver were incredibly helpful and it was delivered to our door within 20 minutes. And it was delicious! Would thoroughly recommend.

Having spent £115 we tested much of the menu and where very happy about the quality. The delivery was also made ten minutes before the 45 mins suggested so we where happy all round

Informed by the site that they would deliver, I was still uncertain whether we would need to meet at the gate, but in fact they delivered to the lodge. Food was good and still very hot. We will be ordering again later in the week.

After our BBQ took too long to warm up we decided to cut our loses and order a takeaway. We ordered off the menu put thru our door and after an hour I called to ask how long. 20 mins later and after some apologies it turned up. The food came with clear plastic lids so u see what's in each tub. As we were eating we were all quiet until someone said "this is the best chinese takeaway I've ever had"We all agreed, clean, tasty, colourful, non greasy, delicious food, well presented and worth the wait. It was so good that I called them after and told them so. Just hope it continues because we will definitely order again.

Last Friday we ordered home delivery. Advised would be 30to45min. Which isn't a problem. After and 1hr 20min contacted to ask where the food is? Without an apology was straight up accused of giving the incorrect delivery address...."well actually you told me my address as it is linked to my phone number"from when I have ordered in the past. The manager kept me on the line for a good ten minutes, for me to hear in the background that my order 'must have been when you turned the thing off', me assuming the ticket machine. I asked for my order to be delivered and due to being extremely late a refund also. The manager added to the insult saying will offer free prawn crackers only, not anything off the meal...Now an hour and a half after I ordered I reiterated this issue wasn't my fault, payment from my card was taken and no food was delivered. After shouts from the kitchen the manager just agreed (which I took it as) and hung the phone up. My partner also phoned to follow the complaint up, once again was hung up on....Almost 2hrs after the original order a delivery driver turned up with no food, just the refund. This is now 920pm no where else is open! So if you would like your evening destroyed due no food and a rude unapologetic manager,then by all means order from Southwold & Reydon chinese!

We ordered a selection of dishes for 6 of us to share, there was plenty of different dishes to chose from and the food was delivered fresh to our door

My husband and I were staying in Southwold and decided to order a meal from here and have it delivered. The food was beautiful and it only took around 25 mins from ordering to delivery, we will be having another one before going home.

Great variety on the menu, some unusual dishes and Thai options. Delivery was quick and food tasty. .

Had curry which was a bit powdery and not best tasting but was okay. Chicken balls were generous but not crispy. Overpriced compared to others in the area. Recommend using the one in Wrentham down the road instead as cheaper and much nicer.

We come to southwold on holiday every year and throughly look forward to getting a Chinese from here, it gets delivered within 15 mins of ordering and the food is the best I’ve had!

We got a Chinese for 6 of us to take away. The food was very good and the menu extensive. Don’t be put off by its location.

Very good friendly service,delivered on time and good quality,generous portions.Delivered to campsite no problem.Highly recommended.

Extremely generous portions, tasty, easy ordering and fast delivery! A lot of other takeaways could learn from these people. Highly recommend!

We used their delivery service, they quoted 30 minutes and delivered in 20 mins. Food was well cooked and very tasty. It was the equal of our favourite Chinese at home.

Me and a friend ordered food on separate orders, both orders were served quickly and efficiently and were lovely and hot. Food was fresh and couldn't complain about the taste or quality. Staff that were taking orders and serving were very happy and polite and the place had a real Chinese feel about it. Well worth a visit as it isn't far from the sea front and is a reasonably priced alternative to the usual fish and chips!

Just spent an enjoyable long weekend in Southwold and the takeaway was recommended. Ordered a wide range of dishes including sweet and sour prawn balls, Szechuan chicken, crispy beef, spring rolls and a range of rices. The order was delivered on time, excellent value and reasonably priced.

This is such a hand addition to the eateries in Southwold. It offers a cheap (ish) alternative to eating out. Food is good, and the service is next to none!

We pre-ordered for 20 people, Food was delivered bang on time, helpings were generous and the food was fantastic. HIghly recommended!

Food is always quick and yummy and staff are always polite when delivering. Prices are fair but I wish they did more choice for desserts as fitters don't do it for many people I don't think.

A very reasonable and varied menu, prices not at all bad, and delivered to your door for free. Portion sizes good and the food delivered hot and at the time stated. The food was very nice and to the same quality as you would expect in a restaurant. Worth trying and will use it again.

Had a take away after a theatre visit. Strange to find this takeaway in an industrial unit! However pleasantly surprised, the service was pretty quick despite it being quite busy. (7.30pm). The food was good, tasty, hot and average price for Chinese takeaway. We had special fried rice and sweet and sour chicken balls- the meat was very tender and we really enjoyed it. Took it to the sea front at Southwold to eat it, lovely end to the evening.

Struggled to find a decent Chinese take out since our local one fell under new management and had some serious health and hygiene problems. We have to drive to get it as they don't deliver as we are a little out of the way. Staff are always very friendly. Quick to cook, usually in and out in 15mins. Fantastic selection of dishes. Highly recommend the smoked chicken.

First time I had visited here under the new management.

Since the new management took over, we have used this take-away regularly. It is greatly improved with fresh vegetables, good quality meat, fish, herbs and spices. The staff are friendly and happy to accommodate individual tastes and dietary requirements. There can be a bit of a wait at their busy times, Fri/Sat nights. Order earlier. We'll be back.

We only have a Chinese take-away about two to three times a year and tonight was one of the those nights. We had our old favourites and we found it very good. There is a new menu and it is nice to see some Thai items on there, Chicken Satay for example. Main course dishes are reasonably priced and if you order over £18 worth you can choose one from four free dishes - a nice touch. There is now the added convenience of paying by credit card for a small fee.

Very impressed, this was my first order. They were very helpful and helped to get my order to free delivery status. Delivery was quick and friendly. Food was hot and tasty. I will be using again. Well done.

Tasty , good quality takeaway with friendly service. Phoned order through before and took just 10mins to be ready. Enjoyed the green Thai curry and and crispy shredded beef . Lovely fresh ingredients.

This takeaway used to be amazing, unfortunately as of Wednesday 7th September 2016 it changed hands and quite frankly it's bloody awful! I was a regular customer, but I shall not be returning again! My usual £18 bill turned out to be over £30 so it's almost doubled in price for the same thing! And the food was bland, cold and inedible! So disappointed! Think they will lose a lot of customers! Such a shame!

Friday evening and been busy all day. 7 o'clock comes around and that question - what shall we have for dinner. Decided it was about time to have some Chinese. The Sweet and Sour King Prawn Cantonese was delicious, just a think coating of batter. The Crispy Beef was also delicious as was the Sesame Toast, Deep Fried Seaweed, the Egg Fried Rice and the Prawn with Bamboo Shoots. We collected but they do deliver. Excellent, highly recommend.
