Absolutely the best Chinese I've ever ordered from. Have been using Sun Wah for the last 15+ years and having their food again this week when I visited home was a delightful break from the relatively terrible local restaurants we have. Their Sweet & Sour sauce is the best of any UK Chinese I have tried and they still sell Pork Balls (which are superior to Chicken Balls, fight me) where others have stopped.

Asked prior to ordering the wait time for a bag of chips. Sunday night means no chip shop open and as the son wanted some nice chunky chips from a takeaway as a birthday treat. I had to oblige! I was told 10 minutes. Was like great. Il hang around. 10 minutes went by, and another 10, and another.... (its now half hour later) asked how long the wait is...they said 5 minutes, won't be long.. 10 minutes pass. I asked again, won't be long... A total of 75 minutes passed before I got the chips. That's all I wanted. I could have gone to tesco, brought a fryer and oil, turned it on, turned it off again, gone for a shower, shave my legs, permed my hair, come back to the fryer, turned on, then put some chips in and been home quicker. The things you do for your child... Shame he was asleep by the time I got home... Would have muchly preferred to be told its an hour wait and had the option to go elsewhere... I mean there's an Indian around the corner (sagor) that would have been swift... Hindsight is a fine thing, never again. Not even to try the Chinese food.

From start to finish a bit of a disaster. Food collected on time. When serving up we realised some of the order was missing. Rang in, had to go and collect. Beef in Black bean sauce, when served was in fact Duck, Fried Rice had had Curry Sauce added when Curry Sauce was additional order, not to be put on Rice. Chips cold and greasy. Won’t be ordering again from here.

Every single good review for this place is fake. The food is disgusting. The chicken chow mein we ordered smelt like fish, it was also grey and gooey. The chicken balls had an inch of batter surrounding a disgusting, gristly excuse for a bit of chicken. It’s horrifically overpriced and the service is shocking. The woman behind the desk had a raging cold whilst coughing and spluttering with snotty tissue up her sleeve. 100% sure this place has a bent health and safety officer as it’s an appealing establishment. Loads of Chinese places in town to use… PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don’t use this one. Even if you had to walk 2 or 3 hours away to get a Chinese, that would be a better option that using this hell hole. All they need to do is sack everyone that works there, get a new owner and burn the building down and start again. Leaving 1 star was actually hard as that’s a huge compliment to give it even 1. AVOID

Really good Chinese takeaway and staff really friendly. A food and good portion size. Cash only but Bank cash points very near. Saturday night is really busy, even when you order in advance can still end up waiting 30 minutes plus. Great place but if possible avoid a Saturday or be prepared to wait. Have used the Sun Wah for number of years and never had course for complaint. The menu is extensive and great value for money. In my opinion they are better than most of the takeaways found in my nearby Cities of Exeter and Plymouth. Good food, good prices and goog service.

My husband and I stayed in Scottsdale overnight. After reading previous good reports on Sun Wah, we decided to try it. We were not disappointed. The roast pork with plum sauce is the best we've tasted, as were the honey prawns. The proprietor is a lovely lady. Just be a bit patient if they are busy, it's well worth the wait.

Ordered food from this place based on good reviews, I ignored the 1 and 2 star reviews.Ordered a variety of dishes (beef,chicken, veggies, chow mein, fried rice and white rice). Veggies were fine, noodles in chow mein were fine, the rest of the food (including the white rice!!!!) was poor,with the chicken dish and the chicken in the chow mein particularly awful. Honestly, the 1 and 2 star reviews more accurately describe my experience.I strongly suggest that you give this place a wide berth.

This was the only takeaway that my family ever went to when I was a child, but things have gone down hill and perhaps it is a victim of its own success.Admittedly we have tried this place during peak times, but we've found it rather chaotic - the staff run off their feet, the orders getting behind, and last time there were people complaining. The same time the food wasn't up to scratch - the meat was dry and chewy and it was all a bit of a disappointment. Nothing disgusting, but you expect better when you pay for a takeaway. I'm afraid I've switched sides to a Chinese takeaway around the corner which seems friendlier, and the food is more consistent. For quieter times, and for your basic Chinese takeaway perhaps this place would be OK, but it's lost my vote for the time being.
