Spring Star in Wellingborough

Excellent traditional Chinese Food ! I have been going to the Spring Star for over 40 years now & tried most of the menu in that time. The food has always been exceptional & has remained the same for over a few decades now so if you prefer traditional style chinese food from back in the day I highly recommend this. It has always been fabulous value too (the best infact!) & has very kind,welcoming & freindly owners there also. It's just such a shame they dont deliver as that would be the icing on the cake. Finally,if you have not tried it already, you must try No.92 (House Special Fried Rice). I have it quite often & it is pure pleasure on a plate (or straight out of the dish of course lol) & it's very satisfying too! 5 stars all the way is a no brainer for me as Spring Star is simply superb. Enjoy ! 👌

Tastes good, however got home with my house special chow mein only to find the container was half empty. Disappointed. Edited: again container was half empty and the duck spring rolls did not quack (no duck). I keep hoping you'll sort out your portions. Let me know when you do.

Lovely business , nice food , always fresh and good price. Amazing service! Highly recommend

Excellent service, very friendly staff.

Overpriced, average food and terrible service. You get left standing waiting to order for an age. No prawn crackers either

Great chinese food.Very friendly staff.In my opinion the best chinese takeaway in Wellingborough .

Disgrace no chicken and sauce like water .. bring back the old crew

Best Chinese food in Wellingborough.

New owner all ways on mobile. Food is sub standard. Asked her if food is same as old owners. She gave me my money back. Food is not the same quality. Owners are useless. Carry on ignoring customers. Phone call is more important. Chef cant cook. Food is what i would not feed to my dog. Rubbish. Rubbish

I also have been going here for takeaway for many years. Ok know for a fact it has changed hands over the last couple of years. The old owner retired. The food is still very good. The pancake rolls are awesome. I will say that the portions are smaller now. The rice used to be rammed in the foil trays. Not anymore. The curry is the best for Chinese in town. However it is not very hot anymore. You have to ask for extra hot. Apart from that excellent.

Fast service, really friendly, lovely little lad serving, food was perfect. Best Chinese we’ve had in a very long time. Shame they don’t deliver but I’d happily drive to them for a guaranteed good meal.

Excellent service great staff recommended to all

Massive chinese menu, a lot of choices, very polite service and a sweet while you're waiting.

Just had the most amazing food from here. Excellent service just wow. Will be using this place much more

If you are vegetarian I strongly recommend to order some of the vegetarian options , especially vegetarian chicken with black bean sauce.. it is just amazing! Also the staff is really nice. Best chinese in Northampton and Wellingborough!

Such a shame, it has been taken over by new folks - so with heavy heart, I must change my review. In fairness the new people are very pleasant BUT the curry sauce instead of being absolutely awesome, now just tastes like the generic "chinese style bulk curry sauce" you get almost everywhere. It has that "browny yellow" almost translucent appearance that is typical of most of the cheap generic curry sauces. Previous owners used to use MASSES of large lump of meat - the meat with the new owners is ok - but only a fraction of what you used to get. Other than Yumeijin, I thought this was the best Chinese in town for the depth of flavour in their sauces. Now it is "average chinese effort" at best. I really wish they had bought the recipes from the previous owner - the difference between old recipe and new recipe is massive. Sadly I will not buy there again - and having spoken to others who have been there, I think they will find that their sales will start to decline. It was a 5/5 score (that was fully justified) down to a 2/5 which is only that high because 1/5 seemed a LITTLE mean as they are so pleasant. Why do restaurants never seem to realise that you need the recipes if you want to retain the old customers?

Even afert 30 years still the same guys making great food

We normally order from Kings next door bit decided to try this one for a change. Awful. Tasteless, bland food that none of us could eat more than a few mouthfuls of as it practically stuck to the roof of our mouths. Will be sticking with Kings from now on!

Excellent food and service, I've been using the Spring Star for 20 years now and never been disappointed.

This take away (alas no eat-in) is one of the best for Chinese food in town, for example if you order chicken curry - you get a LOT of large lumps of chicken in a fairly thick curry sauce. Other places in town has tiddly little bits of chicken swimming in a thin watery sauce - and as much gristle as meat. Spring star really do make the effort to ensure you have a LOT of meat in their dishes - and always meat - not a gristly lump. Not open on Tuesdays any more - but open the other days of the week until 11pm.

This is my favourite takeaway in Wellingborough.

It's ok nothing special, have found the curry sauce very runny before with a strange taste, as with a lot of Chinese takeaways taste different on other days .

This is the worst food ever, everything tastes the same the meat is fake and hard. The mushrooms are from a can. I spent 35pounds and had to re cook the food at home and add more flavour and it didn't help. It's like hospital food but the Chinese version.

Personally I have been going there years, but it seems as the years have gone on, the quality has lessened. One thing though they do the best Chinese curry!

Great Takeaway Food . Its the best especially the Vegetarian Chow Mein Noodles.
