Good food and service OK but the sour faced little Chinese man was just rude, no greeting, just "yeah" rushed us through our ordering and after waiting some time to pay the bill, went to the bar where he was serving and after several minutes he turned to us and said "what, I said to pay the bill, he then took card and did not say another word not even a thank you or goodbye, rude obnoxious little man. Needless to say we will not be visiting again. Would have given zero stars if review was solely about him.

Owner was absolutely horrible and arrogant and made us feel like a burden. I am not sure if it is because we are young but both of the staff working on the 25/7/24 was disgusting the way we was treated. However when the staff was talking to other people they seemed to be nice to them. Never ever give them business the food you get is the same anywhere else and at least you aren’t greeted with an attitude!!

If you want delicious Chinese food this is the place to be. Everything is cooked to perfection, no dripping fat on the deep fried food and the black bean sauce is just something else 👌

Food was great, owner was a frantic mess, disorganised, and clueless. Food came 10 mins apart, asked owner for the bill 4 times, and waited 20 mins for bill, felt stuck. Go elsewhere.

Our group meet up regularly a decided on Stanley’s as it is a local restaurant. We were met by a very unpleasant man, who couldn’t have cared less! It was like going to one of those restaurants that insult you throughout, except he never spoke. All we got were raised eyebrows and tuts a the odd grunt. What a miserable man! Totally spoilt the atmosphere. The young waitress was on her own. Unfortunately, she started clearing our table before everyone had finished their meals! The food was tasty though, anthe prices reflected this. We bought 3 x drinks which cost £33.00, the same drinks in the pub opposite were £18.00, very overpriced! Would we go back - absolutely NOT. 👎

Bitter sweet review - gorgeous, yummy food, yet absolutely appalling customer service; presumably from the manager. Upon arrival, our party were the only people in the restaurant. We weren’t greeted, given a smile or anything. We ordered our drinks and whilst waiting for a couple more people to arrive we were directed to wait in the seating area, which was communicated with a point - no words necessary. We felt rushed to order our food from the menu, sighs were evident from the manager as we caused a delay in deciding. He still, at the point, had not smiled, given eye contact, nor displayed any positive expressions. He was extremely rude to the young waitress, who unbelievably had been working there longer than a year - absolutely credit to her for putting up with his arrogant, rude and condescending attitude. She was consistently ordered around by him and spoke to her in a condescending and humiliating manner. We genuinely felt we were a hindrance as opposed to customers in his restaurant. It is safe to say I will never visit this restaurant again. We should have gone to the very popular Chinese restaurant in Cottingham - as we usually do. I am still so shock by the whole experience and cannot believe people actually choose to dine here.

The place is filthy , the Owner/ Manager is one of the rudest people I have ever come across and totally not suitable to the Hospitality industry, his staff are not very friendly or helpful , not surprising with a boss like that. The food was ok nothing special but two of our party of eight were suffering with sickness and diarrhoea the following morning . But that’s not surprising if the kitchens are as disgusting as the rest of the property, I never noticed a scores on the doors and can’t imagine it would be good. Needless to say I will never go there again. And defiantly could not recommend it .

Absolutely filthy restaurant. Food average. Service bad. Owner rude. Some of the party (8 adults) ill the following day with upset tummy. Will be informing the environmental health. This place needs closing down. (My parents had a restaurant and club and my husband had fish and chip shops in the past so I feel we have a good understanding of hygiene. I also worked on the events committee for my local church and have had to take food hygiene courses). Will not be recommending and will never go there again. Please go somewhere else.

Dirty dirty restaurant This place is in need if a full renovation. The outside looks awful, enter inside the place is no better a fish tank that is full of black dirty water. MANAGER VERY RUDE, we was a large party of 10, he did not give one of us eye contact nore a hello or thank you. Just told constantly stared at our children if they made a murmur. He treats his staff like something on the bottom of his shoe, shows no respect to staff or customers. Food was just ok nothing fantastic, definitely not worth the price you pay. Definitely will not he returning, neither will any of my family members. The manager needs to learn some basic customer service skills. AND CLEAN THAT FILTHY FISH TANK

Visited this restaurant for the first time a couple of months ago, thought the food was delicious but who I presume was the owner was a very rude, ignorant man. I felt sorry for the waitress as the way he spoke to her was awful, if it hadn't been for her who was such a lovely friendly girl I don't think we would have bothered to go back. Have just been again tonight, unfortunately the waitress who was there previously was not working so had the same rude man serving us. He really needs to go on a customer service course I think. It seems that the only time he is nice to people is if they are regulars. Me and my friends will certainly not be spending our money in his restaurant again that's for sure which is a shame as the food is nice.

Visited this restaurant with some friends from work last week. Upon entering we felt very unwelcome the staff were miserable and the manager very rude it was like pulling teeth out to get a response from him I can't understand why they bother to run a restaurant when they don't appreciate having customers in to spend their money. They are lucky to be busy nowadays. The food was OK but they don't go overboard with it. My friend asked the manager if he could pass her coat as he was right next to the coat stand and all she got was NO!! I'm beginning to wonder if he can speak English as it was the only word he could say maybe I should excuse him... but I won't be going back

Went here for a my birthday, starter was really good. Sweet and sour was very good. We had chicken in this gravy sauce dish which was awful and slimy, and the chicken curry was terrible. No coffee or deserts and no one even asked. Seemed a rush to get up out . The owner never even spoke. Won’t be returning or recommending average food at expensive price.

The staff are rude and unwelcoming. Didn’t even get a hello. Told they cannot cater for Nut Allergy, even though it’s the law to display the known allergens. Obviously no restaurant can guarantee Nut free food and it is consumed at your own risk which I agree with. However it’s fairly easy to prep a fried rice and duck with no nut oil. I manage to eat it every week from my local takeaway. Completely unhelpful and dismissive. So many people told me to avoid this place but I thought I’d give it a go. They were not wrong!!

Have had takeaway lots of times and always enjoyed it. Took my family to the restaurant over Christmas period, our first time there and will definitely be our last.. The food was good but that’s where the good stuff ends. The service was slow as hardly any staff (tho the two women, which then reduced to one, serving were nice). The man, who I assume was the owner, was just rude. Didn’t acknowledge us when we arrived nor when we left (we don’t expect the earth, a simple ‘hello’ or ‘goodbye’ would suffice). During the meal we asked if it would be possible to get some milk for the baby and were just bluntly told that no - they don’t have milk (bit odd for a restaurant). After the meal whilst waiting for the bill, we asked whether they had any fortune cookies and again was bluntly told no. (Same answer at the start when we asked for prawn crackers). Whilst leaving, I noticed the fish-tank and I actually felt sorry for the fish. The tank was filthy, looked like it hadn’t been cleaned for a year! So in summary, yes the food is nice (not great, but nice) but if you want a restaurant which makes you feel welcome and that your custom is valued, avoid this one. We certainly won’t ever be going back…

Very disappointing! Ordered 2 VEGETARIAN vermicelli which said "slightly spicy ". After a few mouthfuls we discovered strips of pork and shrimps. Obviously not vegetarian. Communication error between chef and waitress. Imagine having a severe nut allergy and eating a meal containing nuts! The vegetarian vermicelli came 5 mins later but was extremely spicy. Far too much tongue burning chilli despite it saying "slightly" spicy. I guess the chef just quickly threw anything in to rectify the original mistake. We were past caring at this stage. No chance of a good meal and experience. So quite a disaster all round. Wasn't offered anything by way of compensation. Stanley's had been on my list to eat in for as long as I've lived in Hessle. Apart from the ambience which was OK I cannot recommend this restaurant whatsoever.

Normally set meals seem to be made up of stuff that doesn't sell to well, here is definitely not like that! The food is outstanding without the overwhelming hit of MSG that goes with some Chinese restaurants. The staff and service at this place are excellent and the food comes out exactly on time. Stanley restaurant is a higher end establishment with an excellent atmosphere. The menu is quite contemporary and the food is very well presented. A person would not be disappointed by a visit here

Visited here with friends on Saturday evening & was greeted by a very sour faced gentleman (I assume he was the owner) who looked us all up & down & then grunted “yeah?” at us!! ( No hello or good evening ladies) My friend told him we’d booked a table & with no acknowledgement from him whatsoever he walked away. At that point one of the waitresses appeared where she was told by him what table we were on. We were quickly ushered through to the restaurant area to be seated. We did mention to one of the waitresses later that we felt he’d been quite rude to us on our arrival. Apparently this is the norm for him. The food was amazing, the waiting staff were so friendly, nothing was too much trouble for them & so helpful with us in making our food choices. These girls are an absolute credit to the owner who in his capacity as the ‘manager/owner’ should definitely take a leaf out of their book & practice far better customer service. Even on leaving that night he happened to be stood outside having a chat & a smoke with some people I assume had eaten there that evening. He turned to see us walking out & again didn’t acknowledge us or say goodbye or even a polite thank you for visiting !! You would think that considering we’d spent quite a bit of money in his restaurant that he would have at least been polite with us. He may well have been having a bad day but that shouldn’t reflect on how he treats his customers. I would love to have given 5 stars for this place but I’m afraid we won’t be visiting again to put money in his pocket after the way we felt we’d been treated! Shame on you Stanley!!!

Ignore recent reviews!! We live in Hessle and have visited Stanley's a couple of times now. On both occasions the food has been outstanding, great value and brilliant portion size and flavour. The owner is friendly as long as you're friendly to him which isn't too hard to do. It seems other reviewers seem to have taken things a bit personally as anyone who knows Chinese food will know this place is the real deal. Look forward to visiting again, keep up the great work!

We last came here in February of 2022. A spur of the moment choice which we were very thankful for. We came this time, on a Sunday evening for a friend's birthday. I'd booked a table weeks ago, but, thankfully, the restaurant was very quiet. It had been a very warm summers day and we were all very grateful for the air con! We'd already decided to have the mixed platter of starters, so we all had just one item of each. This was priced at £8.50 per head. In hindsight, we'd order differently next time. We all agreed that the star of the platter was the prawn toast. Thick bread topped with very meaty prawns, and very thickly covered unlike a lot of places. We all agreed that was the best starter. We all ordered different mains, I had the sweet and sour king prawns, others had shredded beef, honey and garlic chicken, sweet and sour chicken and char sui pork (I think). We also ordered sides of plain noodles (with onion and bean sprouts) and egg fried rice. The portions were very fresh, plentiful, and arrived quickly. There were left overs (non of us like food waste), so these were boxed up for us to take home. The service, well, what a character Stanley is! Lovely chap, affable and charming. We were served by his daughter too. Very polite and charming, not invasive, just right. It was a perfect evening at Stanley's. The only off putting thing is the buckets of cigarette ends at the door from the car park. That area just needs a bit of a tidy up. The interior of the restaurant is lovely but that's the only thing that lets this fantastic Chinese down.

Stanley himself took my order did not make any eye contact when taking our order was more interested in anything else. He was rude to his staff barking orders and shouting at them who I felt sorry for as ironically they were more welcoming than him . Atmosphere felt cold and unwelcoming... Didn't get my order right gave me lemon chicken rather than orange, took it back into the kitchen and fobbed me off by just pouring orange sauce on the lemon chicken lol... Told them to do the whole dish. Starters were good that's it

Quite possibly the worst restaurant I have ever visited, the owner is horrific with service and does not care about his customers.

Go to a more local authentic place where they actually want your money.

Went for meal last night. On arrival, the manager/owner ignored us then abruptly and quite rudely marched us to a table and slapped menus on the table. We waited a good 20 minutes to order food or drink, bear in mind there were only 3 tables other than ours at this stage. We ordered one of the banquet menus and waited another half hour for the starters to arrive. In the meantime we had a heat tray and a dish of dipping sauce delivered but nothing to dip in it. Eventually starters arrived and we asked for prawn crackers to dip in the sauce which the other diners had all had. The starters were very nice. We then waited half an hour for the next course. Again it was nice. The mains eventually came but the beef was slimy and chewy in one of the dishes. By now with dreadful service, rude staff and having been there nearly 3 hours because of slow service, we paid the bill. Before leaving we paid a visit to the bathroom and we’re disgusted by the state of all 3 toilets. Clearly someone was very unwell and had used all the loos without cleaning up after themselves. We were almost sick at this sight. There were dead bugs on the floor too. All in all we will never go back.

The food here is always good. We have been on many occasions over the years. I rang the restaurant to book and to explain it was my mother in laws 85th birthday and that she would be in a mobility scooter. I asked if they could accommodate and they said yes. We were greeted by Stanley himself who took the booking, he was rude and abrupt with us, saying that he was busy and the table he booked for us was in the far cornerand the chair wouldn't get through ! The restaurant is great, Caroline is fab with customers as is his staff, but Stanley made us feel unwelcome and uncomfortable.

We booked a table of 14 for ours Mum/Grans 80th, we had read all the reviews about lovely food but not great service but still decided to try Stanley’s. Once the table was booked I emailed to explain my young Son is unable to eat diary/lactose/soy, which I appreciate is tricky to cater for - so I asked for their options and said if they could not do anything would it be ok if I brought him a pack up. I was told no, they could not cater for him as Saturdays are too busy and no he could not bring a pack up. After my reply email asking why was ignored, my Dad called to speak to them. He was told it is their policy ‘no external food’ is to be brought into the restaurant. He once again explained its not just someone brining food in, it is a child who has serious allergies and wants to be part of his Great Grans 80th celebrations, he also pointed out we have asked for you to provide the food and you refused. They had absolutely no interest in wavering so he could attend, they had to sympathy for his issues which we all wish we did not have to think about when going out - but unfortunately we do. So naturally, I have called the next Chinese around (Wok So Ever in Cottingham) and their lovely Manager is more than happy for us to bring our own allergies safe food in and welcomed our party of 14 with a accommodating and understanding attitude. Stanley’s you should be ashamed of your pure ignorance to some peoples situations and do not deserve our custom.

I went here with my family for my bday celebrations after reading all the positive reviews and wished I’d never went. The owner, Stanley was arrogant and just seemed plain rude from the moment we walked in. We went there with our young children, oldest was 12 and the youngest was 3 and as soon as he saw us, his face just turned sour. My children throughout the night were very well behaved but it did seem like we were walking around egg shells every time my 3 year old started talking in case it upset the owner. The atmosphere was unpleasant and I felt awful just being there and even at one point saying to my husband we should just walk out after the starters. Overall the food was nice but the atmosphere and welcome we received was awful. Never had this experience in a restaurant before.

Telephone earlier in the day to make a reservation same day , male answered and abruptly ended the call stated could not her me. I called back , booked a table , male was abruptly questioned tonight ? As if they were full . We arrived at the restaurant on time , it was completely empty, male eventually met us in the corridor didn’t ask for our name or give us eye contact, took us straight to a table in the window. Throw down two menu and left .. yes throw down . At this point we were considering leaving , the restaurant smelt , I can not explain , restaurant looked clean but smelt “drainy “ . The male who I now know is the owner , came back asking “ want drink” we asked for a few minutes more he left in such a manner we both felt uncomfortable. We decided to leave then . He did even ask us why we was leaving just let us go . We felt really saddened, the restaurant has been in Hessle a long time was really looking forward to eating there . I can not comment on the food , service and atmosphere was horrible. The fish tank in the corridor was so dirty I felt sore for the fish , they look neglected. Regarding the male who was working that night . I really hope he ok , he need a big hug . We will never try Stanley’s again negative atmosphere.

Ran in after 10pm hoping for a late minute meal and was offered a takeaway and a drink. Really accommodating because the kitchen was closing. Absolutely lovely food. Can’t wait to go back a little earlier and dine in. Thanks very much!

Excellent food, you wont be dissapointed. Always hot and fresh. We use it more for takeaways. Unfortunately the manager/owner is such a grump. We where sat talking to a couple who was saying the same to us about him and how they had just witnessed...

We would have given this five stars - the food is truly wonderful, Chinese cuisine at its best (try the salt and pepper fillet steak with mushrooms) and Peroni beer on tap - what's not to like? But the owner is moody and it spoils...

Chinese food has never been my favourite - always find it greasy and very heavy afterwards - therefore I was sceptical about an evening at the Stanley Restaurant. How wrong I was! Whilst it's not much to look at from outside, inside the decor is...

First time we have been here. From the front the restaurant looks nice but from the car park it looks terrible. Rubbish strewn and back of the building grotty which gives a bad impression. Inside was nice. The atmosphere was lacking - dreadful loud nightclub...

One of the best Chinese meals we’ve had! The restaurant was professionally laid up with crisp white linen & polished glassware. The menu had lots of variety and was reasonably priced. We chose a mixed shared starter, all of which were delicious and the main...

A group of 9 of us dined at Stanley's, from the first moment to the last, it was exceptional. Stanley even gave me a personal look/taste of his whiskey collection. 10,10.

Great food. Carpark at the back could do with a tidy up. It probably isnt their responsibility but isn't great for their customers on an evening.

Friendly owner and a lovely atmosphere. Easy to get to with parking to the rear. A lovely range of food is on offer, from the classics to some fancier dishes. There's some nicely thought out banquets with a good variety of meals and the owner is always accommodating. It's a nice place for a quiet date or a work night out!

I'm impressed by how Stamford House Chinese-York, United Kingdom, handled my previous negative experience. After my disappointing first visit, I decided to give them another chance based on their sincere apology and commitment to improve. I'm glad I did! Despite my review, I wrote the company directly expressing my disappointing service received, and the truth is that I least expected that the management would care or even bother to respond to my complaint but I was surprised to receive an email the next business day expressing their desire to recover the service. This was least expected, and as a result, it got my attention and respect for the management's interest in ensuring that every customer who walked in was satisfied with the service received, as well as their interest in the customer experience. As a customer experience professional, this one act was impressive! So, I chose to give the company another opportunity to recover the service and impress me by using part of the voucher that was offered to order their ‘Roast Duck with Black Peppercorn Sauce.' From the moment I walked in, it was clear they had taken my feedback seriously. The hostess greeted me warmly and seemed genuinely happy to see me return. The server was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu, offering great recommendations. The sauce quality was much better and at least met the expectations compared to my first visit. The sauce was flavourful and had the perfect balance of spice and tenderness. Stamford House Chinese has completely turned around my opinion. They've shown that they truly value customer feedback and are willing to put in the work to make things right. This level of service recovery is commendable, and I'm now looking forward to becoming a regular customer. If you had a less-than-stellar experience here before, I'd encourage you to give them another shot—you might be pleasantly surprised like I was!

In Hull to visit Hull Fair and we changed our minds as it was just to busy and to cold on the last night. So my wife and I decided to have a Chinese takeaway and sit and eat it down on Hessle Foreshore. Randomly we choose Happy House in Hessle. Wow what a fabulous meal we both had. Lovely staff and probably one of the best Chinese meals I’ve ever had. Many thanks Happy House.
