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) .

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.

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+

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!

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.

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!

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.

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

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.

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!
