Sweet & Zen in Lancaster

Fantastic food and staff and prices are brilliant compared to others in area

I don’t ever comment on bad service. However I felt it was necessary to put my annoyance across. We placed an order for collection , sadly when we got home we realised the order was wrong , we’d ordered a crispy beef which the girl on the phone double checked they did, and confirmed (not all negative as she was very pleasant ) we even double checked after she confirmed that it was crispy. (We just got plain beef). When we called to say the order was wrong we were asked if it was an inconvenience to collect again , which it was as everyone else’s food would have gone cold in the meantime. They offered to deliver , however indicated there would be a delivery charge (surely not if this is their error!!!!!) the girl on the phone was lovely , and clearly only taking instructions from the owners/kitchen staff. But I can’t help but feel that the service was utterly shocking given the fact that this was their fault (a gesture of good will would have been to have delivered free of charge). I’m deeply disappointed given the fact this was my first time placing an order here upon good recommendations . I appreciate human error…. But the way they dealt with it was not acceptable! Note to all…. Check your food before you leave (not that you should have to) .

Great food cooked quickly and a freebie with every order. Seems to be cash only

Great takeaway lovely staff, price's are very reasonable and food is always fresh. Highly recommended 👌

Never tried them before we were stuck as our usual place was shut. Excellent 👌🏻

First time ever.... So freindly and talkative.

Not bad Chinese takeaway good food thank you

We don’t get a Chinese often but when we do we have always gone to sweet zen unfortunately tonight the food wasn’t to normal standards took hour and half to come when they said 40 minutes the chicken curry was really bland the sweet and sour sauce was really vinegary and the food came cold we ended up eating a little of it due to waiting a while but the rest went in the bin which is a shame as there was plenty of it.

First time I had been there tonight. I had the meal for 2 and a mixed starter. Food was excellent,fresh and very tasty,nice lady in the shop served,very pleasant. There’s enough for 2 days meals for 2,which is why we do it this way. It’s a 10 out of ten from me 🙂🙂

Lovely service, food and prices. Will return.

what a treat this place is ,yummy shrimp fried rice curry and the homemade chips to die for our new take away,nice and friendly people realy enjoyed our meal,thank you

Absolutely fantastic food and service. Looks like a traditional old chip shop building from the outside. We went here due to the good reviews on google maps and were not disappointed. Decent portions and what we got from 3 meals could easily have fed 4 or 5 people. The beef noodle box with oyster sauce was amazing. Very happy to leave positive feedback and recommend to others. We will be back later in week before we go back home after our break. A+

Brilliant value for money, fast delivery lovely staff highly recommend 👌

Fantastic food I was very happy with my crispy chilli beef

Got order wrong sent salt and pepper chips rather than chicken

Used it a couple of times now food really good well worth a try staff are lovely 🙂

Great food, staff helpful. Really good quality ingredients. Thank you. Back again was aa good as ever.

Absolutely fantastic takeaway try them dry Noodlebox you will regret it if you don’t

Lovely food, best Chinese we have had in a long time. Very quick with orders and delivery. Highly recommended.

First time going but I will definitely be back again. Food was fresh and delicious, also reasonably priced. Staff were very polite and helpful.

Really good food. Can sometimes be a little disappointing. Friendly staff and good service. Love the Noodles and beef in black bean.

As a tourist I must say I am not impressed. Small portion, small fish crispy as prawn crackers for quite high price.

Sweet Zen , absolutely great food ! Great delivery service aswell !!

Half rice half chips with Chinese style BBQ sauce, 11/10

Great Chinese. Extremely helpful staff always go out of their way to give good service . Food is always prepared and ready extremely quickly .

Really tasty food every time. I get the Thai chicken wings every time, but impressed with the whole menu so far. No card machine though, so remember cash.

Ribs were not Salt and pepper like barbacue

Best chinese takeaway in Morecambe by far, was told it was, now I've tried it I totally agree. Thankyou for a wonderful meal

Always a good takeaway been a customer over 20 years

Good prices. Lovely food. Quick service. Staff are lovely. Best Chinese going around here 👍😋

Great value, great choice. Not had a Chinese meal for a long time and I dont remember it tasting like this one. I am from out of the area and the locals seem to rate it. I did order alot and I must say that I had most if it cold the following morning and that was delicious. Maybe there's a business idea!! And to add a free dish was also a nice touch!

Lovely food, piping hot, friendly service and very large portions.

Lovely friendly staff. Food is excellent . Fast efficient delivery service. Always my 1st choice

The BEST Chinese takeaway ever. Brilliant food and good value prices. Lovely staff and clean shop.

Above average experience Food tasty

Always fantastic service & great tasting food. Staff are always friendly.

Lovely family run business, great value with a wide choice of menu and delivery cost isn't ridiculous like some places. Always first place on the list for Chinese food

Food delicious and on time, it’s always great quality from sweet zen

My favourite takeaway in Morecambe. Food always perfect and very tasty. Delivery is quick and hot when it arrives. Can't fault it and highly recommend. 🍜

One of the best takeaways around. Sometimes get our order wrong but we always enjoy what turns up :O) 10/10

Went late via order phone call 10.45,i live 2 mins away. What annoyed me is how they smiled when i paid and picked my order up,only a small order. But it smelled nice,i got home and the salt n pepper chicken had been re heated,to hard crunchy and chicken had no flavour,hard burnt. You expect fresh food if pay full price. Spoiled my night,had to leave this review. Should not re cook food just becouse its late and its a small order,i paid same price for fresh food. Wont be coming again.

Great food always! Although tonight, the chillies in salt n pepper dishes are absolutely scorching you can't eat it!! Quite funny though🤤🥵

Got from here once and didn't like the food

Absolutely top notch Chinese meal Hot and tasty with loads of flavour and proper English chippy chips! Well done,you’ve beaten all the rest of the takeaways by far Keep it up!

Has the sweet zen closed down? Look online and it says closed - I don’t live in morecambe now but coming back for a few days and this was my favourite takeaway when I left 25 years ago.

Cheap n cheerful good enough food

Ordered off the back of several recommendations. Really disappointed, all very bland. Crispy duck came with no onion or sauce and was totally flavourless. Egg fried rice has never seen an egg (when I rang and complained I was told that it’s just fried rice with minimal egg - that to me is not egg fried rice). Salt and pepper chips and chicken weren’t bad to be fair. I was offered a discount on my next order but It’s unlikely that I’ll order again. Girl on the phone was as helpful as she could have been. Must have just been a bad day!

Great takeaway at a good price. The only place that I go on a regular basis. Recommended.

Great food at a reasonable price.

My favourite Chinese take away! We travel 10 miles for a take away from here. Well recommend

Always good and quick delivery best salt and pepper chicken wings ever

Great Chinese, never had a bad meal yet, excellent service, friendly and always helpful

Amazing!! Never go anywhere else!!!

The staff very pleasant and smiling And the food is to die for love it

Excellent service, amazing food and very polite staff highly recommended

Very dissapointing food very rude staff rock hard chips after taste in the sweet and sour chichen no meat in the sausages and was cold how does this happen no concern about my complaint was told by the very rude guy on phone he just ate one and it was fine when I was asked what they could do I said I should have a refund I was told this is never going to happen by the rude delivery driver who spoke over me in a very angry manner would never use this takeaway or recommend it to anyone

I absolutely love this Chinese. It is the best in the area and I cannot recommend it enough. It is family run and every person working in the shop is lovely.

always very nice food very good always hot place is nice and clean they are work very hard always get something free.

Incredible. Best duck and pancakes I've had from a takeaway! Salt and pepper wings are great too. Delivery was about 50 mins on a Saturday night. Non of the dishes disappointed and will always order from them.

Been using Sweet Zen for many years, not been disappointed yet....

Good quality food .reasonable price.best chicken curry in the morecambe!!

It's an alright Chinese takeaway, the sweet and sour is a little bit too much on the sour side for me though, can taste the vinegar a lot more than you should be able to

Fish freshly cooked chips nice chicken chow mein cooked 2 ways lovely will travel from Torrisholme/Barr as the 3 Chinese’s cannot cook a decent tasting meal between them

Never had a bad meal from here salt n pepper chicken and the king prawns are gorgeous only thing is they charge £1 for delivery

I had ordered takeaway from this chinese twice before and everything was good. I ordered chinese again around a month ago, I ordered sweet and sour, my boyfriend chicken curry... sides... cost us £24 When my boyfriend started eating his curry he showed me a a piece of chicken which looked like jelly and slightly pink, like processed meat. I called the chinese and a lady answered and told her we were concerned about the meat in his curry to which I got a reply 'yes the chicken is not good, we get the old stuff back next week'... After asking her to refund us or do something and her being very rude I hung up. Won't be eating here again and I've told a handful of people since..

Use this takeaway business around once per month and have never felt let down.The woman taking the order is very friendly and very efficient even in busy periods.Usual waiting time is around 10 to 15 minutes.The food is good and the portions are of a reasonable size.The only downside is the tiny waiting area which at times fails to accomodate adequately those awaiting their meals.

ordered a takeaway on sat ,arrived on time as usual don't know whats going on but it had hardly any meat in our dishes about 3 pieces,it was full of onions and veg instead ,not good

Always order from here but I got told my food would be 30-45 minutes it turned up 1hr and 20 minutes later food was cold didn't enjoy it at all when I rang the shop up they said that it was on its way and took ages to come ..... will have to find some were else to order from !!!!

Staff are always friendly food is always consistently good definitely worth a visit

Best Chinese takeaway in the area especially the salt and pepper chips yummy food and the staff are lovely 😄

Definitely my take away of choice, can't fault it in any way and the staff are lovely and helpful and always deliver great customer service! Delivery is also very prompt and salt and pepper chips are to die for!

Best Chinese take away in Morecambe first class food wont disappoint !!! Friendly staff tooo wont go anywhere else

We love this takeaway, and the prompt delivery service. Try the ribs. They're amazing. It seems to have changed hands a few times, but is invariably very good.

Our favourite on any day of the week. Lovely staff, fast service and good priced food. Try the Singapore dry noodles and curry sauce.

we use this chinese every week and the food is always delivered on time lovely and hot,there is plenty of meat in the dishes no skimping here what ever you order there is plenty of it ,it tastes amazing and we love the ribs yum yum ,the staff are very nice and polite would recc highly

Consistent delicious food. Service is always exceptional, friendly and caring. Definitely recommend for you to try, you will soon be hooked. Always number 1 on our list!

I always use sweet zen as there food is amazing up until today and my experience with them and a mistake on my order. I had it delivered and upon arrival I noticed they had made a mistake I'd ordered chicken and mushroom soup and was sent just chicken and mushroom in a tub I understand mistakes happen but when I phoned to express my disappointment I was made to feel like I was a liar the lady told me I didn't order soup when I clearly did as the lady even read back my order to me but she kept demanding I was wrong I just put the phone down on her and will not be ordering again because I was outraged at the way I was spoken to not because my order was wrong

The best Chinese takeaway in Morecambe.

Great food Thank you will definitely order from you again.

Very delicious dry noodles in the box.5*****

The best blackbean sauce beef in UK。Went last week and had beef in blackbean sauce ，fantastic！

We ordered a takeaway / delivery whilst staying at friends and were very pleasantly surprised by the service and value. The only problem with this Chinese is we will now be disappointed with our regular Chinese in Manchester. The portions were really large we ordered half duck and I can only assume Morecambe has very large ducks it was huge with little fat and lots of extras. The delivery man did forget our rice but a quick phone call to a very pleasant and apologetic lady and we had it before we had finished the starters. Excellent takeaway.

I am wary of places that do more than one type of take away cuisine... This is a Chip Shop / Chinese take away. I often find this type of place to be providing two types of mediocre foods rather than concentrating on one type and getting it right! Anyway, I had a Szechuan Special Mix which had a decent moderately tastly base sauce but it needed more of a kick.The menu says that comes in a 'large container' but it was served in the same size plastic tub that all the other food going out was put in. I also had some salt and pepper beef which was tasty but not quite cooked long enough. a bit more crunch on the coating would be great. There was a stream of telephone orders coming through whilst i waited, and a delivery guy took out a few bulging bags too. I guess it must be popular locally. The appearance was very clean, every surface was spotless. The staff were polite. A little more effort on the food and it would be a solid 4 out of 5. as it stands it is a middling 3 out of 5. Not great, but if i am hungry and nearby, i would go back and give it another try.

We had a family take away, delivered for free and with extra food because of what we had spent. Quality of the food was excellent and we will definitely use this again

Ive been really dissapointed by Sweet zen since the new owners took over, Its never been as nice but today was the last time we will be going, firstly I felt really uncomfortable in there, The 2 guys behind the till stood looking at me whilst talking in chinese and laughing, Then packed someones food up which I thought was mine and he held it out n then pulled it away n said no and started laughing to then place it on the side, When i eventually got my food and got it home my bread bun was rock hard and another thing that put me off was the asda cooking sauce jars on the side, thought it would of all been made fresh, chinese style! Wont be going again!

We have tried many Chinese takeaways in the lancaster and morecambe area and we believe this place is by far the best! Not only is the food delicious it is always delivered promptly and still piping hot (which is really important to me!) the staff are always friendly and I would definitely recommend sweet zen to anyone wanting a descent Chinese meal.

Went here on New Years day as we drove past and have to say the food was gorg, the staff behind the counter even though busy were really friendly and didn't have to wait too long. Been again already!!!
