Sweechoo in Northumberland

Excellent food. Friendly staff. Ambience slightly spoiled by steady steam of collections and deliveries. Easy parking right outside. Good options veggies.

Ignore the older reviews, this is the best Chinese food in the area. So good, I won’t go anywhere else. Always consistent in quality with quick delivery. Price is also very reasonable for takeaway. I hope they don’t go anywhere!

So welcoming and the music is lovely the food came quick and yummy.the beef is cooked too its best and the chips are uks finest love me done curry sauce with them too.i loved the sweetcorn soup

We know the takeaway food from Sweechoo is always absolutely gorgeous, so decided we would give sitting in a whirl. There was no-one else in except people waiting for takeaway food, and the staff. Pheobe asked if we would like a table and immediately took our drinks order and brought menus. She was very attentive, bringing the food, then checking if there was anything else we needed. The food was amazing, as always. Pheobe was friendly but not "in your face". We will definitely be back. It didn't bother us at all that we were the only people sitting in the restaurant. Only one negative comment, I would have preferred a material table cloth, rather than a plastic one.

Great place to eat or takeaway. You must try the house special udon with XO sauce

Perfect, beautiful food excellent

The service is fantastic. Sat us next to a radiator after coming in from the cold. The host was very attentive and very friendly. The food was a little salty but over all very nice and fresh. Would recommend to anyone.

Food is absolutely lovely, my new go to for a chineese. Good size portions and good service. Was ready for collection at the agreed time. Definitely recommend

Been a few times and always great food, service and atmosphere. The prices are very competitive also.

Absolutely tremendous, by far the best in the area. I went for the Special curry, fried rice and chips takeaway and it was the best I've ever had, left me completely stuffed.

An excellent Chinese restaurant and takeaway , regular user of the takeaway

Lovely little place. Food was great, would highly recommend! 👌

Great food, great service - highly recommend

We got the oriental set menu for two, the food was outstanding and the staff were brilliant we will go here again next time we are up this way

Food was outstanding, service was exceptional. Thank-you

Regularly get food from here, Udon house special with XO sauce is incredible. Tried other dishes but always go back to that one. Great food and great service and always remember me when calling

I travel the UK. Often sampling Chinese food. Ordered this.. the decor is not great. Could do with a re-think.. But the food was absolutely delicious. Easily in the top 10 of all the Chinese I have ever visited. Fabulous.

Normally 5star, get delivery’s to numerous addresses (family & friends) ordered last night to my address Special Fried Rice main meal came with two pieces of chicken, two pieces of beef both small and prawns two tails, normally you get 5/6 prawns and meat in strips within rice!! We got 4 tiny pieces of meat on top of rice for approx £9, disappointed maybe a one off I will order again but if the same defo not Angela

Ordered house special egg fried rice and on 2 occasions, there was absolutely no meat in the meal.. Stick with the panda, this place is an absolute joke!

Ordered house special egg foo jung. No meat in it, rang and informed the restaurant and they said I was lying!!!... I was not looking for a re fund but acknowledgement on what I had received. Would never use this restaurant again.

First time ordering from here today on a ‘highly recommended’ advice. Phoned at 7pm, placed the order to be told delivery would be within the hour, phoned at 8.15pm, to be told they’d said 1.5hrs, & ours was next to be delivered, phoned again at 9pm, to be told they were waiting for the driver coming back, after telling the hubby & son, we cancelled the order & went to Best Bite - never again will I order from here. On reading other reviews, seems to be a regular occurrence

First time using Sweechoo and the food was excellent, I collected within 20 minutes of ringing it through. Would recommend giving it a go. Takeaway only at the moment....

Phoned at 1730 to get order in quickly as possible. To be told order will take 1 hr 15 minutes. After 2 hours rang to be told they’re having issues and would get food out as soon as possible. Sorry - sounds like bad organisational skills. I can’t comment on if the food is any good - cos I’m still waiting. Ok after 2 hours and the food arrived. I’ve changed my score from 2, to 4 star. Cos to be fair, the food was really nice, curry alittle watery but tasted nice. If I could give 3 1/2 stars based on the delivery delay I would, but 4 stars for the taste.

When you call for a delivery at 6.15pm and they say it's 2.30 hours for a delivery ! Don't think your that busy you have been open for 45 minutes. Sort your staff out , no one will wait 2.30 hours ! Would I wait this long to eat in ? No take away is that busy that it takes 2.30 hours to deliver 45 minutes after opening ! .

Best Chinese ever always amazing and always personable on the phone. Never had a bad Chinese from here ever. 10/10 every time

Called for delivery and asked for 8.30pm, was told no guarantees but when I said we would want it by 9pm ish or we wouldn't bother we were told that was reasonable so we placed order. We had family around and the food was obviously part of the night but we were still waiting at 10pm which totally ruined the night as our planned family meal couldn't happen and people were leaving without having eaten. When I chased order I was told that we should have booked earlier. Food okay but could never trust them again. Finally ate at 10.30pm

Ordered a takeaway for delivery tonight and was told it would be up to 1 hour 45 mins however it was two and a half hours ! No point giving hungry customers unrealistic time frames just to take another order when you are obviously too busy its just an insult . Will not be using again

Fantastic food. Non greasy and full of flavour. The prawns are huge! Delivered within 30 minutes. Thank you 😊

Ordered food at 5.30 ,we also ordered pizza which arrived at 6pm, it’s now 9.15 no food has arrived! Will never order food to be delivered again !! Soo disappointed why didn’t they say it wouldn’t be delivered we could have picked it up! Never gonna order again! COVID strikes again !!!!!!!

Absolute disaster ordered at 5 .30 Christmas Eve still waiting for food at 20 past nine. Will never order again!

First time going to this restaurant for a takeaway, food arrived when they said it would, piping hot. Food was excellent!! And great value for money. Will definitely use again!!

We have been a regular weekly customer of Sweechoo since it opened. The food is very fresh and this is the only reason we have stayed loyal and given 2 stars. But a word of warning never believe the wait time you are quoted the food regularly takes 15 minutes over the estimated time with no apology or discount offered. Last night was the worst. I ordered at 6.30pm and was told food would be with me within 2hrs. Knowing their record I double checked and was told definitely by 8.30pm. I waited until 8.50pm and called up as no food had arrived. I was told it would be sent out in not the next lot of deliveries but the one after that. When I stressed that wasn’t good enough I wouldn’t have ordered if I had been told the wait was 3 hours it was suggested that I order earlier! Needless to say I cancelled my order and they have just lost a loyal customer and perhaps many more as family and friends find out about the cheeky young lady who works there.

Best chinese I've ever had. Only one I will go to

Ate in and found that the food was... OK. My meal was nice but my mums wasn’t as good. Haven’t tried take-out but got a local restaurant, I would go elsewhere. NOTE: This was before the Coronavirus Outbreak

Good food but very cold table area.

It is freezing in there. No atmosphere at all, no background music, no welcome,and people coming and going through restaurant all the time picking up takeaways. Definitely more of a takeaway than restaurant. Food lovely, but will just order a takeaway from now on.

Only had take -aways food been consistently good. Not tried the restaurant yet hoping to in the near future.

Always loved this place but tonight went down in my estimations. Food was ordered said it would be 45 minutes. Rang after an hour and a quarter to get told it would be 15 minutes. 20 minutes later rang again to be told the food had not even been cooked yet. Anybody at this stage would be quite frustrated and my mam was told on the phone not to take that attitude with them....needless to say I won't order again from here!

Well worth it. Not very expensive, friendly and fast service and the food is beautiful. Will never go anywhere else

I find myself regularly visiting because of the quality and care in preparing the food . They make their own dumplings and also char Sui.Udon noodles are superb. Takeaway food is thoughtfully packaged for transit to ensure it’s at its best.. The only disappointment is the restaurant doesn’t feel like a restaurant .

Popped in for tea had early bird great food and value. Best meal out we have had in ages! Definitely recommend

Lovely food and good service. Have only had take outs, not yet had a chance to eat in.

Visited for the first time today with my wife and was more than happy with the service and the food. When we first walked in there was no music playing, only a couple of people were dining in there and it felt a bit like an old western as everybody stopped and stared... We thought we would still give it a go though and the music started to play (it must have just been bad timing in between songs). The waitresses were great, always around when you needed them but not pestering while your looking through the menu/eating your food, nice prawn crackers to nibble on whilst ordering too. We ordered the Sweetchoo banquet which came with soup, crispy aromatic duck and chicken and beef fillet dishes. The food was excellent, much more than you need for two people and of a really high standard, the price is about average for a chinese too coming to just over £40 with drinks as well. This restaurant is a real hidden gem and we will definitely be going back, highly reccomended! Oh, and they also do take out!

Excellent food either delivered or when dining in the restaurant. Staff very attentive. Best chinese food in area.

I use this takeaway regularly and the food is always delicious. Eventually we'll get around to visiting the restaurant.

Can't go wrong with this restaurant always gre,at food hot and delicious great service and a efficient totally recommend

the food was lovely and the drinks were reasonable but it was really cold. We didn't leave till around 9pm and it was still cold. I would have thought that you would have the heating come on before you're guests arrive to warm the place up. Saying that we had a great night and would definitely go again.

Fab place. Foods amazing. Lovely young waitress. Cudnt b more helpful.

Decided to have a takeaway having dropped the wife and her friends off in Morpeth. The quality of food is excellent as far too much to eat on my own so some left for the following day!

There were 6 of us here on a works do, was a little worried when we arrived & were the only ones there but left feeling astonished there was no one else dining inside.Firstly the service was first rate, helpful & attentive in the right way.Secondly we selected a wide range of starters and mains, the portions were ample and delicious. Really enjoyed the whole experience and would definitely recommend.

Dined off the early evening menu: 2 courses for £7.95 which I thought was great value. Started with some complimentary prawn crackers, then had a generous serving of chicken and sweet corn soup followed by a flavoursome portion of shredded chicken in peking sauce. Two friendly girls were attentive throughout. Relaxing music added to the calming feel. Good place for a satisfying and cheap meal afterwork.

First class Chinese food IN A LOVELY SETTING WITH GREAT SERVICE. WILL BE USING AGAIN!

Fabulous staff. Dealt with our son really well even though he was having a meltdown. Food was fantastic and we will be going back.

The hot sweet and sour soup I had was a meal in itself, it came in a bowl which was twice the size I had in another Chinese I had visited earlier.

Order two omelettes to takeaway got home and they were full of liquid a egg goo totally rushed and under cooked I think they were more interested in getting back to there own dinner rice and chips were ok shame about the egg mess

Absolutely lovely food. Customer service second to none. Popped in at last minute when they were just about to close and it was no problem to them. My favourite Chinese around.

Beautiful meal would definitely go again

It's nice, reasonably priced and close to home!

Ordered a takeaway and was quoted 1 and half hours rang 2 hours later as still not received order and was told it still had not left restaurant so cancelled order. Would not recommend sweetchoo for a takeaway as this is the 3rd this has happened unless your prepared to wait all night.

Food disgusting could not get fork threw batter on chicken

I have been trying to find a Chinese takeaway that meets my daughters exacting standards when it comes to sweet and sour chicken. After a number of disappointments we finally struck lucky with Sweechoo. Great food. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal.

fab little place food is great and friendly staff, was pleasantly surprised after first looking on trip advisor for somewhere to eat out locally

Food was lovely and plenty of it

First time at Sweechoo we tried take away meal, could not find any fault with the meal, it was very tasty and the portions very generous. We will be returning to sit in to take in the full atmosphere, ........... to have this in BEDLINGTON is unbelievable.

Went for a meal ordered meal and drinks had drinks then the food arrived on table as takeaway err no if we wanted takeaway we would have gone somewhere nearer

This was our first visit but won't be our last. Quiet, but it was midweek...service very good, we had the Oriental Banquet with soup, plate of starters and crispy chicken in cantonese sauce with sizzling steak and egg fried rice. Very tasty, not too much and excellent service. Happy to recommend!

Yet again another first class takeaway and great value for money. Restaurant standard food in the luxury of your own house. Highly recommended

Food lovely as always but disappointingly takeaway delivery service was a let down for a 2nd time running. Had to wait over an hour again then forgot spring rolls. Won't stop us going back but don't use delivery service unless your prepared to wait all night.

As normal excellent quality and flavour by far best the best Chinese food in town. Lots of meat in meals unlike other places which add lots of peppers and onions.

Tasty take out. Generous portions.

Lovely food good value for money will be returning!

The weather was nice and we decided to visit our local Chinese Restaurant which we had been meaning to do so for some time. Good decision!. We chose the Sweechoo Banquet and shared a bottle of reasonably priced and very palatable Sauvignon Blanc wine. The service was good, the food was delicious and we left deciding we would be visiting often in the future. A very enjoyable experience.

Visited as a party of 18 and had an absolutely gorgeous meal! My partner ordered the salt and chilli king prawns to start and said they were the best he's tasted! The sizzling dishes were fantastic too ... you get so much for your money here. The staff are absolutely lovely and ensure you are well looked after! Will definitely be returning and so pleased to hear they have started takeaways too!!

I've only had takeaway from here however I can honestly say it's the best I've had in years. Prepared in a restaurant fashion with flavours FAR superior to your average Chinese takeaway. The tubs containing the food are larger than average too! Excellent.

This is the third time my girlfriend and I have visited Sweechoo and as always, the food is fantastic! The portion sizes are generous and tasty and the service is impeccable. They really look after you! I love coming to this restaurant and can't rate it highly enough! 5 stars!

Tried this with the lads on a Friday night especially as if we want to eat in a Chinese restaurant then we always need to travel out of Bedlington so having somewhere on our doorstep is ideal. We decided on the set menu @£16.90 per head. Either hot and sour soup or chicken and sweetcorn, the bowls were big and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. Oh by the way we had prawn crackers on the house and they kept asking if we wanted more! Then came the crispy duck with plum sauce etc, again there was loads of it and they asked if we wanted more pancakes! Then came the rice and 5 main dishes each being extremely well cooked and they brought us more rice! The drinks were a little pricey @£4 a pint but I guess that's the norm these days. Highly recommended give it a try and support your local restaurants!

Booked for husbands 50th birthday. 20 of us so went for oriental banquet. Excellent service delicious food and good portions . I would highly recommend this restaurant. The price was reasonable both for the food and the drinks. Will definitely use this restaurant again.

This restaurant was a fantastic choice for our family gathering. The quality food was of what can only be described as fantastic and all dishes were extremely tasteful. The staff were extremely polite and welcoming and accommodated all our needs. I would highly recommend this place. Excellent value for money.

Visited with friends shortly after opening. Staff were good and menu intriguing.

First class service. Good choices. Very good portions. A very welcome arrival in Bedlington. Would recommend.

So far I've had 3 meals here and two take Away's but they have all been lovely and I'm going to keep going as the food is lovely and right on my doorstep.

Been several times since it opened. Never failed to give me a gr8 meal. Would recommend this place to everyone. Keep up the excellent work

Visited last night for the first time after seeing that Bedlington finally had a Chinese restaurant! Went a 6.15 on a Wednesday night and the there was nobody in. However I think this is because it is a relatively new place, because the food was delicious! There is an Early Dinner Special Menu served between 5.30 - 6.30 Mon, Wed-Sun and Sunday 12 - 4 also. For 7.90 you get a starter, main and a side. The portions were very big and the food was delicious. Well worth the price and I will definitely be returning. Once word of mouth spreads I am sure it will be busy every night of the week. A top class Chinese restaurant - something Bedlington has been lacking for too long, up until now!
