Ordered from here and the rice was cold. They told me to send all of the food that I ordered back with the delivery driver so they can replace it all. When the fresh food arrived. There was no chicken curry and chicken and lemon sauce. Just rice. I rang them up and they were very rude. Women on the phone even had the audacity to laugh at the situation and I was refused a refund. Usually the food is really nice from here. They do tend to be late on deliveries quite often though. Absolutely disgusting customer service. Me we again will I be ordering from here.

I ordered a Chinese takeaway was very nice and different to ordinary Chinese but gave a nice new twist. They forgot the chips but we came back a few days after and we got the chips for free (This was for 3 people very good price everything else was perfect

Just placed an order was told 20 to 30 minutes, 45 minutes later was told another 15 minutes so got a refund. Don't usually give bad reviews, and realise it was very busy, but simply not good enough.

On a positive the portions were generous. Crispy beef in garlic sauce was tasteless and watery. Prawns in ginger and spring onions also was unless you bit into a slice of ginger. The best thing about the mixed combo was the spicy chicken sauce.

Can only agree with the review further down as looks like we ordered a similar meal. How this establishment gets away with serving such poor quality food is disgraceful. The roast duck had been deep fried, it was in batter and served on a bed of pineapple, it was supposed to be served with a plum sauce, I can’t actually work out what the accompaniment was in a separate pot, it did have some tomato in there though! The prawn toast was equally poor as was the rice dish we ordered and the chow mein, how you can possibly get a chow mein, absolutely staggering. A thoroughly unpleasant experience, the majority of the food went in the bin, disgusting.

Having read some unfavourable reviews I decided to give this takeaway a try. The staff are friendly, the food was really nice, portions were decent. I have no complaints at all. Some of the moaners should think twice about posting bad reviews which can affect good hardworking establishments. If there is a wait it's because they are busy freshly cooking meals.

Where to start... Duck was a confit of shoe leather on a bed of boiled and cooled pineapple (I think) Plum sauce was presented as anemic veg floating in a bile reduction. Spring rolls cleverly veiled a gelatinous soupson of something-or-other around a thread of carrot. Battered twigs masqueraded as deep fried crispy beef. Deepfried sesame toast sandwich with a prawn flavoured simulated chicken slice was an interesting twist to remind us the underlying attempt at Chinese themed cuisine. They cooked us chips as the highlight. I'd say this was "utterly gobsmacking", but I'd be worried someone would construe that as a pleasurable oral sensation. Instead, think about this like the culinary equivalent of Tai Chi's Fa Jin. It rendered me speechless, dry heaving, took me 24hrs to recover and left me wishing I'd never been such a stupid and unwitting victim. Amble, I will be back, but not for the Taste of China I'm afraid.

We sampled the Chinese takeaway from Taste ofChina whist on a short break in Amble We had the two meats curry ,fried rice,battered lemon chicken along with two chop suey rolls.Along with this we were given complimentary spring rolls and prawn crackers. The beef and chicken were really tender,the prawnsfresh and large.The chop suey rolls were large and well filled. The staff were really pleasant and the doors into the kitchen were open so you could watch the food preparation if you wanted. Value for money, would recommend.

If I didn't know better, id have said it was stuffed in a polystyrene tray and microwaved (for far too long). Got my money back and lost my appetite!

We often order from here when staying at our caravan. Duck pancakes are delicious and a plentiful portion. Chicken Batter balls always tasty, well crisped batter. Peking sauce has an almighty kick, we love it. Only negative is the gravy is a far too salty for our liking, but thats a small thing when everything else has always been so good 👍

After working hard all day I was really in need of a treat. Luckily Taste of China deliver for £1:50. I ordered the set meal for 1 at £12. Included were 2 mini spring rolls, 2 mini samosas, 2 chicken balls with a small tub of sweet and sour sauce. A good sized pot of chicken and sweetcorn soup and a bag of prawn Crackers. I could choose any main from a really good selection, so I chose crispy shredded beef with sweet and sour sauce. The set meal also included a good portion of egg fried rice. The soup was piping hot and very nice. It was slightly sweeter than I'm used to, but still tasty. The starters were all lovely and crispy, although they were quite tepid. Very tasty though. The curry put mentioned in the menu is the samosa 😁 The main was lovely too. Nice crispy beef that was not greasy at all. A good sweet and sour sauce that contained onions, tomato, pineapple, carrot and peppers. Plenty of sauce too. The prawn Crackers were crispy and fresh. The only problem I experienced was trying to find the menu online. I found a photo on their Facebook page but it was out of date. Luckily it was only the prices that differed I think. Delivery was 15 minutes earlier than expected which was a bonus. I'll definitely order from Taste of China again.

Rained in on Amble links caravan park we rang for a delivery which was prompt and efficient. They rang us back as soon as the meal was leaving the shop and I met them at the entrance to the site as they could not enter due to the security barriers.The order only took 30-35 minutes and the food was delicious, huge chunks of chicken in the house special fried rice. We enjoyed it so much we used the same service again 2 nights later. There are 2 Chinese takeaways in Amble and we haven't tried the other one as yet but will definitely use Taste of China again on our next visit.

Often use taste of China for my meals but the last couple of times it hasn’t been up to the usual standards. Crispy shredded duck was moist and microwaved , certainly not crispy! The crispy shredded chicken was not crispy . It was like a deep fried twiglet. Rock hard and very little meat. Might use the Chinese at the harbour instead

I try to be constructive but nothing about our meal was nice. The noodles were over cooked and soggy, the sweet and sour chicken tasted like it has been reheated a couple of times and was really hard, the duck was fatty....but they did supply plenty of pancakes for the crispy duck which was good. Perhaps out tastes are different but none of the 4 of us liked it!

Have just had worst takeway meal ever. We ordered the wrong food I suppose crispy sweet and sour pork. This came with the equivalent of a whole tin of pineapple and not the best. the meat looked like mushrooms in batter. The crispy duck was ugh could have been any grey meat and tasted as though it had been cooked ages ago. Both the sweet and sour and plum sauce tasted and looked the same with a chunk of raw tomato several large pieces of raw onion, pepper and carrot. The plum sauce i dont think ever saw a plum. They gave us complimentary prawn crackers ( cant bear them) and some crispy rolls and samosa type things. Dont want freebies just want honest good food. At least the chow mein was an honest representation. But no sign of egg in the fried rice. I cook stir fries frequently and can do a much better tastier job than this and I'm not chinese. Well it will be a cheese sandwich now. Sorry Taste of China

Four of use had takeaways from there twice as the first one was so good. We where staying in Amble on holiday in August and choose this one as recommended by the lady in the video rental store (yes, they still have one). Two of use had dishes with black bean sauce and it was voted the best black been source we could remember having. All the dishes we bought were good and the service was great. The menu has a section that allows you to choose what meat or vegetables you want in your chow mein and then what sauce you want it in. This worked really well and I had a lovely large vegetable chow mein in black bean source.
