Sun Kee in Maidstone

I have to say, the food (the little we had of it) was very nice, however the portion size was absolutly ridiculous, less than half a tray of each main meal, apart from the rice. It is very expensive for the portions that you get. I have been her a few times to give it the benefit of the doubt, to see if it was a one off but each time they are getting smaller and more expensive. I will not go again. It is a shame as the food is genuinely nice. I often eat chinese but have never paid so much for so little. Very disappointing.

I have eaten from every.chinese around maidstone this one.is the best to Me. food is delicious

Surprised to see all the bad reviews on here. We have used the takeaway for many years and as always has always delivered a great meal, hot and on time. Was able to adapt my order for my kids (they're not keen on chilli) the lady over the phone is always helpful. Yes the price has increased but I guess that's across the board for all takeaways. Sure we will continue to order our usual favorites from here in the future.

Chicken balls hard overall quality poor no taste, very dry with a lack of sauce, special fried rice totally tasteless worst Chinese meal ever would not recommend

I had home delivery, I've bought from here many times and always been very happy, but today, I got sweet and sour chicken balls, which were warmed up, so batter was soggy, not nice at all, not sure if I'll buy from here again, it seems a lot of money for not so good food

Had a great takeaway for 6 people. Everyone loved the food!

Good quality Chinese takeaway. A good menu. A family favourite

Great food and always quick service for collection. Thanks Sun Kee 👍

Decent food quick delivery. Well worth an order. Like an old school Chinese. Place is clean and deliver fast . Moaners are tight.

Been using Sunkee for 13 years and imo is the best Chinese lovely. However in the last year the prices have gotten ridiculous. We used to be regular customers ordering every Saturday night. Now it’s just unaffordable. Ordering for 2 people with prices coming out at £44-50 is just too much. Even if we weren’t in a financial crisis. £3.80 for prawn crackers. £2 delivery charge if you live within 2 miles. More if you’re further. 10p bag charge (what?). £8 for 6 dumplings. I could go on. Crackers used to be free delivery was also free if local. How can you justify almost £4 for crackers? Crackers and delivery adds £6 onto your order. So we went from spending £35-40 every Saturday night to only ordering one a month now and we can’t be the only ones. The demand used to be crazy - 2 to 2-5 hour waits on Saturdays. Now there’s never any wait time I wonder why. Such a shame as the food is great and the women on the counter are lovely. But the greedy bosses are driving it into the ground. Waiting for the 2024 price increase which will make it a once every 6 weeks order instead!

Best Chinese in Maidstone. Long wait but worth it. Only takeaway we use now

Really disappointing. Have used Sunkee for a couple of years now. Very hit & miss but kept with them as they deliver and the drivers know us now. Incidentally we always tip the drivers well. Won’t be using them again after last night when I was going to order. Others have already mentioned the fiasco on their website of cancelling old accounts. Really not the way to treat loyal & regular customers. Ridiculous performance having to open up a new account. Final straw was the new second delivery charge. How utterly unacceptable and greedy. They quote a delivery charge - and then there’s now an additional delivery charge. Just greed. They seriously have no idea of customer care and service. Shocking . Our usual spend for our meal including a tip is around £40 - so not cheap. In these times when things are difficult for many - it’s not the way to operate.

I find it unbelievable that I would be charged two delivery charges, £3 first then another £2 after and to top it all 10p for a plastic bag no mention of the plastic containers the food arrives in. The food is not bad and we have ordered on numerous occasions and been satisfied. These new costs make it not viable to order your takeaway as it cheaper to use a restaurant . I’ve been in business since 1994 and my recommendation is to remove your business manager before you have no business. Good luck

Used this take away for years ...but won't use it again after tonight's meal. The last meal we had from here wasn't great but thought we'd try it again, but won't any more. The chicken curry had barely any chicken-it was more sauce than anything. The sweet and sour vegetables were all watery and didn't taste of much. Even the tub of rice wasn't full- yet was over £5. I guess they are cutting back like everyone else. I'll take my business elsewhere now.

Well I have to say we have just received one of the worst Chinese meals I have ever eaten. We have used sunkee for many years and have always been happy with the food. Tonight when we ordered via the app as normal we struggled to log on as they had blocked all old users which we found strange. I set up another account and instantly noticed a massive difference in price. The delivery was on time but the food was AWFUL. Everything was tasteless over cooked, dry and cold!! One of our dishes was completely wrong and we still don’t know what we got but that also was as disgusting as the rest of the dishes received. Even the prawn crackers tasted weird.

Have used for years , however was a little disappointed tonight. Lemon chicken smelt funny, and the chicken balls were as nice as usual. Shame will have to try somewhere else.

We decided to have a takeaway instead of cooking on Sunday. We had lots of different dishes, chow meins, special fried rice chicken balls spare ribs etc. All the dishes were freshly cooked, lovely and hot and tasted fantastic. We always use Sun Kee as our first choice for Chinese takeaway and would recommend it, we have never had a bad one.

Cancelled order for no reason 6 minutes ago so now too late to order elsewhere. Disgusting service. Sort your rubbish website out and stop messing people around. Ruined evening. Will be making everyone aware of awful service. Used to be a great takeaway but is now an absolute shambles.

The menu was not specific to what it was so ordered the wrong thing and all the dishes were extremely watery. Waste of money to be honest to not recommend. Only good thing was the chicken balls👍

One of our local Chinese takeaways but easily the best one. Friendly service and food is never disappointing. Crispy Shredded Chicken is 🤩!!

Great chinese propa nice grub friendly staff and delivery driver was pukka

Just ordered got to wait 2 hours..but take money in 1 second.really

We have used this take away many times. In the past it has always been reliable, not amazing but OK. Ordered this evening and it was really disappointing. Mushroom rice had a weird taste, satay chicken was awful, watery with no flavour, even the prawn toast, which is normally very good had a strange taste. Will be going elsewhere next time!!

Our local Chinese delivery or takeaway only- hence, no rating for atmosphere, as we've not been in to wait. You can order online, which is really convenient. Always delivered promptly and food hot and delicious!

Always use Sun Kee when we want a special Chinese takeout. Lovely food well cooked and reasonable for pricing too.

Yum spicy dish, fresh crunchy veg, fast delivery

Very nice food and service quite quick. Have no complaints with food and will keep using. The only thing I would say is check your order before leaving. I have had items missing in 3 occasions which is annoying and spoils what is very nice food.

The worst Chinese we have had. Floury noodles, greasy rice, very chewy shredded beef, the driest chicken satay you can imagine, stale seaweed, chewy and tasteless sweet and sour pork. The only good thing was prawn crackers. Second bad meal from you guys now. Will not be back.

What has happened to Sunkee? This used to be a really nice take away but the meal we have just had was awful. The food was very overcooked, even parts of the rice were burnt. The chicken satay was greasy and overcooked, the stay sauce tasted of nothing like satay and even the prawn crackers were powdery and tasteless. The sauces have been watered down since our last visit too. Sunkee used to be the best in the area..... One very dissatisfied customer and we definitely wont be returning again. Sorry.

My daughter and her partner introduced me to sunkee as they live in loose and can't fault it, so I've had a few since then and they have always been hot, tasty and on time. But I have had one tonight which will unfortunately be thrown away as it's almost cold, got a nasty taste, the curry sauce was so thick and salty I had to spoon it into my plate and the sweet and sour sauce was very very sweet and then sour. Also there was bits in my chow mein that I really didn't know what it is, definitely not chicken or any meat recognisable. It's such a shame as I totally couldn't fault them all the other times. Will I be ordering from here again, I'm not sure, but if I do it will be in the far future when I hopefully don't remember this awful meal.

Never had a problem here but tonight it was ment to be a 40 minute wait but was over an hour and turned up cold. No offer of refund so it went In the bin….

Wow. How do you get Chinese food this wrong? What happened to this place, used to be awesome. The sauce is supposed to be sweet & sour to go with the chicken balls, everything else is just so far below expectations. I'm not fussy but this is going in the bin.

Second time using last night. Horrible vinegar taste to batter. Stale prawns which we think has made us feel ill. Chips very stale, most of the food very clearly reheated. Won't use again.

Good quality generous take away set meals standard kfc fare occasionally a little greasy. Duck and pork ribs really good

Great food and customer service. Keep up the good work

Sadly disappointing. Called and ordered, and arranged to collect. I live 5 minutes from the restaurant. Food was ready on time, but wasn’t that hot when I got home. Sesame prawn toast was soggy and rubbery, and the rest of the food was mediocre and quite tasteless and bland. Such a shame.

Only ordered from them twice, and both times items were missing! Only got an apology or asked if I would like my item delivered straight away?! Not really, I wanted to eat my meal at the same time, not wait another hour! Food wasn't great this evening, spring rolls watery and hardly no taste, and as for a large chow mein?! Pffft I wouldn't spend an extra couple pounds just for a few more bits of peppers and mushrooms! Won't be ordering from here again.

Have been using sun key for many years now, alway great food, highly recommend, wouldn’t go any where else

Very helpful and local, delivered on time and worth the money always hot. Have used them a few times.

We hadn't had any Chinese food for ages and tried Sun Kee a week ago, and we were delighted with the taste and quality of their food. They even came to Staplehurst to deliver the order on my doorstep. Thank you!

First time new years eve ,helpful staff ,great food all the family enjoyed it oh very nice,i collected myself covid_19 2m masks all good. yes we would eat from there again

Won't go anywhere else for a Chinese takeaway

5 stars when the shredded beef is crispy - 4 if not!

AVOID - I have regularly used this takeaway and was delighted when they offered delivery. Food is normally very tasty and piping hot. Last night we ordered online 8.10 and had a long wait, only for it to be inedible! Instantly at 9.30 I cooked a dinner as we were all hungry and telephoned @ 9.55 but was closed; so emailed. Was astonished by the response; dire customer service!! I shall in future take my custom elsewhere.

The best Chinese I have found in and around the Maidstone area.

This is the best Chinese takeaway in Maidstone... Well at least that's our opinion... We've been going here (or getting our food delivered) for years... Can't recommend this place enough...

Food arrived early than expected. Sat down to eat and food was luke warm. My sons chicken balls were the hottest part alongside cold chips. My partner microwaved his and I ate mine so quick to at least have a 'warm meal' but chicken overcooked and rubbery, beef slimy and was told maybe it was to do with the temperature outside that the food had cooled down or I'd eaten so quick!! Definitely will not order from here again!!

Usual Chinese (not that great) was not operating during lock down so a neighbour recommended this one. Must say. Very impressed and a great improvement on the usual one. You could tell just opening the containers and the waft of spices hit you. Chose the usual dishes we normally have and although a little pricier, every dish was better. Curry that was not watery but very aromatic and not too much of a kick. Sweet and sour was gloriously thick and not a hint of being watered down by vinigar. Really quick delivery too. I can imagine how busy they are being one of the very few operating at the moment. Whole family agreed, this will now be our new usual takeaway. Looking forward to trying some of the other dishes on their extensive menu, especially the squid which is easy to get completely wrong. Definitely recommend. (unless it starts slowing down the quick delivery)

We started using SunKee 5 weeks ago and have been ordering every week since. The lady on the phone is ever so professional and friendly. The food is constantly excellente, best sweet and sour chicken balls ever, same for the noodles. Salt and pepper squid a little pricey though. Keep the good work. Thank you

Looking for a Chinese restaurant open in this current situation. Rang up Sun Kee easy to order very polite lady on the phone. Turned up under the time frame given which is amazing baring in mind a good 10/15 mins drive away food was pipping hot. The smell was amazing. The actual food good size portion. Taste very fresh and good ingredients. Sorted out our craving of Chinese. Definitely be ordering again soon so far the best Chinese eaten around here and good pricing.

Was ok first couple of times then started to go down hill fast, I was ordering 5 dishes every other Saturday and every time they were saying it would be ready in 10 minutes ? Once received dishes there was no taste and just a reheated sensation, quite suspicious every time they fetched your food from behind the door they were so secretive about it. To be honest I would avoid this Chinese because they are not selling fresh food just reheated food, this Chinese is a con stay away. I have no reason to lie about this restaurant as stated the first couple of times was nice. Regards.

Love this Chinese, always very polite and the food is delicious. They also accommodate for people with a mild preference.

took 1 hour to get the food ready pretty nice though

Fantastic food and very fast delivery thank u

It's ok food alright depends on what u like

Excellent service, delivered within 15 mins and the food was exceptional. Thankyou

Excellent service and food would recommend.

Excellent tasting foods,good choice of menu,large car park at rear,good service we will use this Chinese in future

Ordered a take away to be delivered to Coxheath on Friday night. They were busy, as was asked to hold to place my order. Once placed I couldn’t believe how quick it arrived I looked at my friend and said how did they do that ! The quality was equally good. Still in shock tbh

Placed an order at 7.20pm still no sign of delivery at 21.15pm rang them as they said it would only be 40 minutes. Apparently driver tried calling us several times but no missed calls at all. So now we have no food. Oh and they also said they won’t deliver to our address no more as they can’t get hold of us which is a lie as we have ordered several times before. I don’t think they even placed our order. Awful customer service, rude woman down the phone. Do not order from here.

First time using this takeaway. First class food and very speedy delivery.

The food is adequate. Watch out for mr speedy their delivery driver though, especially if he is driving through the carpark at the back. I reported it to the counter staff, but apparently I was in the wrong!

Good food, nice staff...but watch out for MSG...

Disgusting! Food was dry when it should not have been and the rest of it was totally tasteless, pale in colour and unappetizing. I wouldn't serve that to a dog!

Always brilliant service and great food!

Superb food with fast delivery service. Orders taken over the phone by cheery helpful staff. We keep going back for more

Been eating from this takeaway since 2004 and wouldn't go anywhere else, I've tried them all around Maidstone, Stapleurst, Marden and Coxheath and this is by far the best Chinese for mikes, never had a bad meal and always consistent quality

Been using Sun Kee for over 15 years. Never had a problem. Good service, lovely receptionist. You have to wait sometimes, but that's on busy nights. Other Chinese restaurants just don't compare.

Tasty Chinese takeaway. Not the biggest of portions but well cooked.

Excellent food , very friendly staff and a great manager

Having tried several dishes from here, I can confirm that the food is not very nice, and portion sizes are small. Meat and prawn dishes are overly padded out with al ost raw pieces of peppers.

Nice Chinese. Shame u can't change the mixed áuderves

One of the worst Chinese I’ve ever had! Only getting a one star for the prawn crackers. Disgusting chicken chow main and satay chicken!

Have been going here for ten years now and their food and service is absolutely amazing. I look forward to eating here again as I am a regular, I’d just like to say that they are doing a great job and should keep up the good work.

I must say I agree with the other customers who say what a HUGE disappointment this place is. Yes, I was greeted with an enthusiastic lady taking orders however have to say that she was the best part of my experience. I have seen lots of people coming and going but can only think they haven't tried extending beyond their immediate locality. There are far better takeaways serving superior dishes. Seek and ye shall find.

Been going here 15 years last year has been a joke prices up quality down wrong order again today and forgot the sauce absolute joke. Might want to invest in some customer service too. Lucky this Chinese didn’t go back across the counter. Rude people rubbish food FACT!

Lovely food, good prices. The lady on the till was very helpful in helping us make our choice when we weren't sure what to have. 5* hygiene rating, and extremely quick service. Recommended.

ordered the food form list and ticked off as the female read the order back, prices higher than the website as have the old menu on, legally they have to honour the adverted prices legal principle, offer t the world applies. Food arrives minus a portion of rice, I call and the female advises it is my fault and implies I am both a liar and incompetent. Excellent customer service she admitted it 'could' have been her mistake. She finally agrees to complete the order I advise ruins date meal as can't eat together. I suggested the food to accompany the rice be provided she agreed. She then rang back twice to insist I pay fro her mistake!!!! Dire. The food was greasy and reheated so went in the bin.

We have been using this Chinese take away for years and have never had a bad meal yet. Very friendly and efficient staff and a very quick delivery. Always delicious food and would never dream of going anywhere else.

First time using them so very unhappy to find hairs in our food. Too late to receive replacement food so now going without dinner. Also unhappy as the only way to get a refund is to pack all food away and return to them myself after 6pm tomorrow. Absolute joke! A real shame as the food was lovely.

We've used this takeaway countless times and it is fine - the food is good and their home delivery times pretty accurate, which is more than I can say for many of their rivals in the town! I don't understand why people say it is not good value - it is not cheap, but their prices are competitive when compared to rivals.I have a strong suspicion that some reviews on here have been written by people with vested interests in making derogatory remarks.

My families go to chinese. I'm pretty plain with my order. Sweet and sour chicken balls with seaweed and fried salt and pepper squid. Loved it never changed it. Have a wide variety of dishes. Recommend a try at least.

I have been using Sun Kee for over 20years and have never had a bad meal. One of the best Chinese Take aways in Maidstone. Will continue using it and would recommend it. Staff are brilliant.

Food is always of a good quality

Would recommend if you go to order and collect as delivery sometimes spoils the food... Soggy batter. Food if you order and collect from the shop is brilliant. Recommend the salt and pepper squid.

Just had a meal delivered. It was amazing..loved it..delivery driver was pleasant. Estimated time of delivery was spot on. And it was a sat night..great take out..be ordering again very soon..well done xx

Sun Kee has been a staple for the family for a while. Always delicious and very good delivery times. Spot on. Recommend the chicken satay skewers and the Hong Kong chilli definatly a must have

Best Chinese Takeaway in Maidstone also the staff are really friendly and helpful

No he visitado este Chino por un largo tiempo debido a una mala experiencia anterior pero me dio otra oportunidad en la última noche y me sorprendió gratamente que era mucho mejor. Pedí pato con champiñones con arroz frito con huevo - llegó a 8 libras. 90.

Chinese take away that serves fantastic, good quality food. Delivery is available within a restricted radius then a small charge is levied which makes sense to me. Good level access with free parking to the rear of the parade of shops. Highly recommend, not my most local chinese but its worth the effort of another 5 mins in the car.

Good quality food but waiting times are quite long and portions are very small and highly priced for the amount of food you get. I got deep fried shredded beef and the container was only a 1/4 filled.

La única cosa que estaba buena era costillas y arroz. . Eso era deliciosa, pero fideos hecha y atrapados, cerdo/pelotas de pollo sencillo y seco, así como de limón pollo, pato era simplemente grasa en salsa. Las raciones eran muy pequeñas en comparación con la de otros para llevar chino en Maidstone. Perro gustó!! !

Miércoles 28 de diciembre - China de sol pidió un Kee. . . . . . . Peor decisión.

I'm not one for leaving reviews, but i felt that people should know about this.

Sun Kee have been delivering consistently good food at affordable prices to us for many years now. I would definitely recommend them if you fancy something different.

Whenever we have a chinese, we always use Sun Kee. They are reasonably priced, the food is always good and they deliver (free over a certain amount).

Another place to go and enjoy fantastic meals

Llamé por teléfono a mi pedido, pero llegó más rápido de lo que esperaba (a 5 minutos). Mi pedido me estaba esperando, eso me pareció genial. .. hasta que llegamos a casa. Las patatas fritas eran claramente probado y horas y terrible, el encogimiento y...

Gone downhill...£45 for inadequate food plus didn't bring the whole order,so had to wait for rice ect so by the time that arrived rest of the food was finished...poor quality shredded chilli beef and greasy chicken balls,won't be ordering from there again!

Lovely Chinese won't go anywhere else food is perfect and always hot when delivered. Very friendly can't fault them.
