The Amber Court Restaurant in South Lakeland

Great food and excellent service. We all loved it

The restaurant shares its entrance with the sports bar next door, and lacks a little signage but once you find your way inside, the service is friendly, and very quick, and the food is tasty. There is a wide range on the menu, with all the usual traditional dishes, reasonably priced. The restaurant atmosphere was a little flat - felt like a Chinese restaurant from maybe the 1980s, with about 6 tracks of background music continually on a loop. There were very few other seated diners when we were there which also reduced the atmosphere. There were some people collecting take-away orders and they continually came into the seated eating area, which somehow also reduced the atmosphere of calm dining. However, that apart, the whole experience was good and the food enjoyable.

We were charged incorrectly for our meal. When we rang to say we were missing an item, told we hadn't ordered it (but we had been charged for it). Sadly much of the order was tasteless, and £25 for the lamb dish was ridiculously overpriced for what was, in essence, deep fried lamb leftovers. Rude on the phone when we rang to raise issues. Sadly, would not recommend Edit - just been violently sick. Definitely avoid.

Absolutely amazing food and staff so welcoming and polite. Probably one of the best Chinese’s I’ve had, really outstanding. Well done, we’d love to come back again on our next travels.

Lovely meal, really enjoyed the experience just a shame there wasn’t more people eating in the restaurant, plenty of takeout orders though. Would recommend this place.

Owner had no personality, we ate in, ordered 3 dishes, noodle dish was average, duck spring rolls were nice, Sui Mai dim sum was awful. Ended up giving it to our dog who seemed to like it. Waitress was nice. Will never return and will not recommend to anyone.

If you want fried oil then this is the place to be. Horrible food drenched in burnt oil. Would not recommend and will never visit again.

Really nice food, waitress was very attentive and helpful. One of the best Chinese’s I’ve had in a while. Would recommend the salt & pepper ribs and Sizzling steak satay. Very impressed!

Stayed nearby and thought would go somewhere local. Great location - next to a pub! It was quite empty when we arrived, we were sat down and although clean and very friendly is in desperate need of a revamp and upgrade. Chairs and carpet felt a bit grotty worn out and old. Food we thought was average and we felt it was over-priced. Take away would be an option for us if we went back again as was almost half price of dine in, and it wasn't a nice dining area. Sat next to the fish tank - and felt sorry for the one lonely fish.

First time in town and this place is Lovely and friendly service, good environment in side you can get a table inside or takeaway is available. Food was so tasty 🤤 and great value for money. +++

Loved this place. Been a few years ago and twice during a weeks holiday a few days ago. Food best Chinese I have had anywhere. No idea why it is so quiet but suited us. Friendly people and when next in the area we will return.

I am new to town as a free lance chef and I like to try spots out always once atleast. I came today for a table of two and was very disappointed by the quality of the food everything tasted exactly the same was no flavour to any of the food the prawn toast was just burnt over fried bits of bread . The spring rolls didn’t taste anything like duck spring rolls just slime and veg was very weird. The chow mein was very bland and the sauce tasted just like flavourless gravy base and the prawns was like rubber pellets.. So was veryyy disappointed with the food in general and 80% of it was left. I physically couldn’t eat it. I was also shocked because 4 plates of food was made and brought out to the table in less than 8 minutes which was concerning. The beer I had smelled weird and tasted awful I had to order a coke with it to wash down the beer because it was simply disgusting and tasted and looked as if the lines havnt been cleaned in a very long time over all for the food and drinks I wasn’t satisfied what so ever . Not all down and bad though the staff was loverly and friendly and was very welcoming and polite to talk to which is a shame really because the chef really let them down in my eyes I am how ever a believer in trying a place more than once so I will return and try some other dishes and a different drink. Just this time I have to be honest and just say it was probably the worst Chinese I have ever tasted I’m sorry to be that person but that’s how I felt I do hope my next time will be better.

Great food, great staff! :) Defiantly recommended for either eat in or take out!

Stopped on our way back to Cartmel for a takeaway. Food was really nice. Would recommend. It's very expensive and portions are very small. But delicious so can't really complain.

We stopped in for a quick takeaway on a Saturday night. The food is consistently good from here. I prefer this to sitting in as the restaurant looks quite makeshift. They could do a lot more with it to improve the dining in experience as it looks a bit run down and tacky in there.

Takeaway was fine however ribs missing off the order. Service always pleasant but the offer of free prawn crackers wasn't met with a rather substantial order. Probably won't go back.

Had an excellent meal here tonight, We have been Several times before and it's always been fantastic, lovely friendly atmosphere and lovely food as usual. Definitely the best Chinese restaurant in quite a wide area. Recommend • • • • • 10/10. We will return soon. xx

Ordered aromatic lamb(for 2) plus salt and pepper prawns and Singapore vermicelli. So much lamb! One portion would have sufficed. Very impressed.

The best Chinese around here for miles. If you dine in it is a lovely experience, but if you just want takeaway it is also excellent. 10/10!!!

Had a lovely meal here as always. Derek and Jasmin go out of their way to make their customers feel at home. And will bend the menu to suit individual preferences. Alll my favourite vegetarian dishes are served nicest at Amber Court.

Decided to have a change. Ordered our meal and waited. Got home and what I opened was NOT what I ordered!!! And very disappointing.

Great menu, great food, great service. It's a shame this doesn't have more support as it is a lovely restaurant.

Great meal last night, reasonably priced too.

So GOOD,yum yum, long way to go, but when i am back, will I go to have another meal? YES

MYSELF AND MY HUSBAND WERE IN THE AREA FOR A WEEKEND BREAK, WE DECIDED TO GO FOR AN EVENING MEAL AT THE AMBER COURT RESTAURANT. AS WE WALKED IN AT AROUND 8.30PM WE WERE SURPRISED TO FIND WE WERE THE ONLY PEOPLE IN THERE. WE WERE SEATED AND AFTER ORDERING OUR DRINKS AND FOOD IT WAS SERVED WITHIN 5 MINUTES OF ORDERING. IT WAS THE WORST MEAL WE HAVE EVER HAD OBVIOUSLY MICROWAVED. WE ASKED FOR THE BILL ONLY TO BE CHARGE £5 FOR SERVICE FOR WHAT? DEFINITELY WOULD NOT RECOMMEND.

Great place to eat in or take out,we went twice during our stay in grange over sands,lovely tasting food,friendly staff,would recommend a visit here

First time in area and restaurant. Ordered food with ease but didn't have all we normally would have back at home. However, food was hot, very tasty and service was very good. Staff friendly. Will visit again on our next holiday.

Came here for a takeaway, awful service and awful food, very disappointed. We were overcharged, when told he went to change the receipt and came back with it wrong again, told him again it’s still wrong and over charging, he rolled his eyes and huffed at us, he went and changed it, questioned the receipt AGAIN for a 3rd time that it’s still wrong but he said the food is right it’s just the receipt, when we got back the food was wrong, clearly lied to us as he couldn’t be bothered. The food was the worst Chinese Iv ever eaten so wasn’t even worth all the hassle as we couldn’t even eat half of it it was that bad. DO NOT EAT HERE.

Had a lovely meal, and the service was very friendly. We shall definitely come again.

We pre-booked table but only one other table occupied. We had soup for starters, then chicken chow mein, kung po chicken, beansprouts and egg fried rice. Food was tasty, service was good. Premises needs some updating. Service charge is added automatically.

What an amazing hidden little gem, we stayed at the swan hotel and spa in Newby bridge for our anniversary and wanted a Chinese (worth the 15 minute taxi ride out). So glad we found this, food was beautiful and the service was excellent. The lady serving was brilliant and a really lovely person! Thank you and we will be back to when we visit again :)

Asked the man if they did chicken nuggets and chips he said yes I ordered 4 portions when the bill came he had charged me £59 saying they don’t do kids meals and that’s the price for adult meals when I questioned it they just blamed it on the system

My husband and i booked a table for a Saturday night however there was no need- the place was practically empty. The interior looked like it had seen better days and the toilets could have done with a clean. The food was very average- we have had better to be honest. The service was good, however and the waiter-pleasant. The red wine was extortionately priced per glass, for a cheap tasting wine- but I guess that is the cost of things these days. I was quite shocked at the price for the whole meal- only a few months ago we would have paid just over half the amount for a Chinese meal elsewhere- but again, the prices seemed to have shot up almost everywhere. It was okay- but did not impress us much.

Excellent Chinese food with prompt and courteous service - highly recommended. Generous portions, good food at a good price.

Visited this restaurant for a takeaway because it was recommended as good. However, the food was not the best Chinese takeaway. The dishes were lacking in fresh ingredients and what was provided was sparse in numbers. All the dishes came with either a watered down or congealed sauce, also the chow mein had the ingredients placed on top of the noodles, instead of combining the two. Also, had to choose the dishes from the menu outside the restaurant because they said they didn’t have paper menus to choose from in the restaurant!

Food was OK expensive to sit in cheaper take away very dated inside an not one other person in there, Peking ribs was nice like 5 for £9 Meals eat in £10/15 Not very Hot but was hungry ate most. was staying on Haven site so closet Chinese eat in foe miles an attached to a pub. The Guy who Runs it seemed friendly.

Fancied a restaurant meal as opposed to takeaway and this restaurant was closest to where we were staying. Restaurant was quiet but there was a steady stream of takeaway orders being picked up. We found the food very good and would definitely go back and would also use for takeaways too. Sesame prawns with lemon dip was excellent.

Overpriced and not the best Chinese food I've tried!

We were visiting for a couple of days and got a takeaway it was so good we got the same food the next day as well Really really tasty Hot and fresh bursting with flavour.

Fantastic food. Dated interior. Atmosphere not quite there but the food makes up for it.

Last two times I've been chicken has been chewy and chips have been really undercooked or over cooked. Overall bad experience, don't bother going. Much better options nearby.

Sat in for a meal with my children after previously having take aways. Service was prompt restraunt was cluttered with stock not put away came to pay bill was shocked with how expensive it was.

. ....this restaurant. Bemused again by some of the bad reviews of this restaurant which seem over the top in their vitriol, yet some people found them helpful? Maybe it's because the people concerned have put so few reviews on so maybe aren't used to eating out or buying takeaways? Anyway, we were in Grange for four nights and had two takeaways from Amber Court. We had the second because the first was very good and indeed the second one was too. Can't criticise anything we had - we both had king prawn mains and both had a generous amount of large, juicy, meaty king prawns. They certainly didn't skimp. Everything was well cooked and tasty and the servings were generous They were ready when they said they would be and there was no problem with ordering. Given that it was less than £20 each time for two mains and noodles with bean sprouts, we were very pleased. As you'd expect with Chinese, there's lots of vegetarian choices.

Nice place good food friendly staff was doing a roaring trade with takeaway orders. Looked like many of them were repeat customers. Would definitely recommend it and if we ever go back to Grange over Sands we will visit again. Only reason atmosphere got low mark was, there were only 2 couples in while we were there.

We have only ever had takeaways from Amber Court but we've never been disappointed.

AmaZing food, so quick service would 100% recommend

As the local Chinese in Flookburgh can be inconsistent, we ventured a bit further out for our Saturday night takeaway. We ordered Cantonese Spring Rolls, Salt and Pepper Chicken, Chicken Curry, Sweet and Sour Chicken, egg fried rice and noodles. All the food was very good. The sweet and sour meat had a bit of a smoky flavour (strange). Overall it was very good and we will order again.

10 of us were in the Lakes for a break and looking for somewhere to eat. We decided on Chinese and Amber Court was recommended. They were able to accommodate us which was a start and to be fair the staff were friendly and efficient but the set meals we thought were a little expensive but overall we ate well and the quality was good. They do a takeaway sales aswell. Not sure I would go back without seeing what else was available.

Went here for a takeaway the lady at the door was very nice and helpful but the food was a major let down, egg fried rice overcooked or reheated and smelt like sweaty feet, salt and pepper chips were raw, the beef in the curried beef was like stringy jelly no chew to it at all and curry more like salted gravy, definitely would not return!

Lovely Chinese, change from Australia. If you want a dirty Chinese full of MSG go here. Best hangover food ever

Food was really good got plenty of it lonely five minutes away

Food was delicious, staff lovely and chatty, very quiet. Good value for money. Place a little dated but will definitely be back.

Really disappointed in our takeaway last night, left myself and my partner with a bad stomach, Far too salty and rice was overcooked and didn’t taste fresh couldn’t eat it a waste of £33!! It used to be a good Chinese but seriously gone downhill

Carpet threadbare..service charge extortionate..portions mediocre. Very expensive for what you received.sorry but Wouldn't recommend even though the young waiter was very polite and pleasant.

Food was just okay, prices were quite high, service good though. Eat in prices are double the takeaway prices!

Great food and wonderful staff, we tried many dishes to test the quality of the food, although the portions was very small, the food was great, just could of done with more on the plate for the cost.

After being impressed with the vast variety on the menu, we ordered takeaway. 1 dish wrong, duck dry, the Dim sum was miniscule portion. replaced wrong dish FOC after some debating that it was their fault. Wont go there again, do not recommend at all.

Lovely friendly staff & food was really nice. Also very reasonably priced. Worth a visit if in the area.

Don't usually do this but I was extremely disappointed in the food here. Had a special curry which was very bland with precious little meat and even less veg or onions, just mainly a very basic curry sauce. We also had salt and pepper chicken and a portion of satay sauce which was also very bland. Maybe we are spoilt with our local Chinese (MAXs) in heysham but I think Amber Court need to up their game.

Fantastic little gem of a place x will be back next time we visit

Food is excellent, this restaurant does the best duck in plum sauce in the world. Staff are polite and the food is always piping hot.

Good food. Nice people. Chinese atmosphere we were looking for.

The worst Chinese food I’ve ever had honestly, by a mile. If I could rate 0 stars I would, pork dumplings raw, chicken hard and over cooked, generally flavourless and quite expensive. Would rather starve than ever eat at this place again.

Very fast and friendly service on take-away and appropriately priced. Unfortunately nothing about this meal was nice, one of the dishes was wrong and the rest seemed to be very watery and lacking authentic Chinese taste. Would not recommend and won’t be returning

BEWARE: the dine-in menu is the same as the take-away menu - but is 50% TO 100% MORE EXPENSIVE per item - an inconvenient truth that is somewhat conveniently not mentioned at all on their website. The Chicken Chowmein is GBP 5.90 on their menu, but almost GBP 11 when you order it at the venue. The Seafood Supreme Sizzler is GBP 9.10 on the menu but GBP 16+ when you land up in person. When asked why, an unconvincing answer referring to Covid was mentioned. As far as the food goes, it was okay. Worth the take-away menu prices - not the vastly-inflated eat-in menu prices.

....contrary to some previous reviews. I've felt very let down by TA lately, going to restaurants which - according to reviews - appear to be the best in the world only to get there and find their mates must have written them, to restaurants with...

Horrible over priced food had it tonight and my food beef I'm. My cow main was stone cold will not go agian food was like it was cooked from frozen

Good service from friendly staff. Unfortunately the food we ordered was not good. As a family of four we each ordered different things, and most dishes were pretty much tasteless. The mixed vegetables were tasteless and watery, and the duck spring rolls were soggy and...

Got a carry out from here while on holiday in the area. I had a quarter crispy duck, it was a very generous portion, tasted lovely. Only complaint was that there could have been more pancakes. Others had chicken chow mien and sweet & sour...

Very nice food, great service. Pleasant surprise.

Arrived just as the restaurant was about close, they welcomed us and served us at the table, was not rushing us, a lovely woman named jasmine served us, the service was excellent as well as the food too, would highly recommend the Amber Court restaurant,...

We have been to the Amber Court several times to eat and really enjoyed it. My daughter says it is her favourite Chinese restaurant ever. The food is delicious and we like the friendly atmosphere. Many thanks for the great meals and we will certainly...

Excellent Chinese food. I have been visiting this restaurant to both eat in and take out for twenty years. Really don’t understand its low TA ranking.

Outstanding food abs we loved everything we tried! Our fav was chicken chowmein, king prawn in salt & pepper sauce. Next best meal after China town in London and highly recommend this place!

My chow mein was very bland but I could tell the vegetables were all fresh at least.

Food is decent but the restaurant and service is poor

The food is nice don't get me wrong, which is the main thing but the prices are high for what you get. £9.50 for a portion of special rice and it wasn't big. Place is a litte dated. But service was good and food tasty. Just be aware

I required Chinese on this fine night and I did not get it. I would have found more pleasure in looking at the rear of a donkey. At the first sight of my fork the noodles (if that is what they can be called even...

As owners at the near by haven site we have been looking for a decent take away. This is not it, £55 spent and non of it edible, the rice was off and smelt like diry wet dog, the scampi was over cooked and really...

Self-catering nearby and ordered a takeaway for our final meal. Wide choice of dishes and fast service.

Typical Chinese type restaurant, oldy furnishings, flies here and there which is annoying...friendly staff though

Left before Main Meals but told Prawns not available after Bowls sat in front of us for 20 plus minutes. It appears Prawns were Off apart from King Prawns. Would you take the risk!! Lady serving said not her fault she is only part time...

Ordered our meal, two starters , 2nd course (duck) and mains. Ribs battered and extremely fatty, duck and siu mai ok. Bowls given for mains. Then the waitress came up and said prawns were no longer on menu as they were "smelly". I suppose its...

Excellent service. And food was great as well. Also got a free Birthday pudding lol

No faults from me, fast service, and price similar to anywhere else in a uk resort town. Food was piping hot, and tasty. Too many on here complaining, not enough complimenting.

Really good food and hospitality,been many Chinese restaurants in London and it is disappointing,never expected such a nice and friendly service in a combria. 5 star well deserved

Went for a meal Wednesday 19th May with friends. We all ordered starters - our friends both had soup followed by ribs. My husband and I shared the lettuce parcels which were delicious. Main courses comprised of Noodles, Special Fried Rice, Curry Sauce and Chicken...

This is the last time we will order a Chinese from amber court. It’s hit and miss the food but yesterday it was awful. The fried rice was stodgy and soft and the chow mien noodles over cooked. Sweet and sour balls were like chicken nuggets and my prawns were tough. Such a shame.

Tiene un aspecto bastante lamentable, y lo entendería si te desanimara.Es muy desaliñado y necesita urgentemente una reforma.Si puede dejar eso atrás, disfrutará de una comida excelente.No hay mucho más que decir en realidad.Volvería a ir. . . No hay problema.

We Ordered the Imperial banquet take away and were very impressed! It was absolutely delicious! The portions were a good size. Chicken & sweetcorn soup was piping hot and tasty. Mixed Hors D'oeuvres included seaweed, rolls, ribs, wun tun, etc. Steamed dumpling were succulent! Aromatic Crispy 1/4 duck pancakes 6 pancakes shared between 2. The mains were very generous deep fried king prawn and chicken. I Can highly recommend!

Enjoyed a lovely Chinese meal on our last evening, very nicely cooked, staff were very friendly and polite 10/10, will go again next time we visit the Lake District

Nos estábamos quedando en Grange y fuimos aquí para conseguir comida una noche que no queríamos cocinar. El restaurante estaba limpio y con buen distanciamiento social. Teníamos una fuente de d'oeuvres y estaba muy sabroso los platos principales. El personal fue muy amable y nos permitió llevar el resto en una caja de comida para llevar.

Nice food and really lovely staff.

Amazing food and great service. Staff was lovely and couldn't help you enough. One of the best chinese restaraunts we have been. Geat value for money.

Esta noche cené para 3 y tengo que decir que todos quedamos muy decepcionados. Llamamos al orden y preguntamos si el pescado en salsa picante era dulce, ya que no queríamos nada dulce. La señora nos aseguró que no y dijo que lo haría con salsa de ají y ajo, pero cuando llegó era un plato muy dulce. Entrantes ordenados de samosas picantes, costillas de sal y pimienta y chips de sal y pimienta. Había alrededor de 3 samosas y 4 costillas pequeñas. ¿Chips de sal y pimienta tan secos con lechuga añadida? ! Chow de pollo principal casi ningún pollo. Pedí un pollo desmenuzado en miel y salsa picante que, sin importarme lo dulce, era lo único que estaba bien.Por 37 y ni siquiera arrojó una bolsa de galletas de gambas, era muy caro. Realmente lo estábamos esperando, pero no lo recomendaremos aquí en absoluto.

The service was exceptional, and the food was worth every penny. After a long drive from Bristol, this was the best place we could have chosen. Lovely evening and the portions are very generous indeed. Highly recommended!!

Afortunadamente, ignoramos algunas de las críticas insignificantes y tuvimos una comida realmente agradable aquí. Debido al distanciamiento social, solo la mitad de las mesas estaban en uso. El servicio fue rápido y el personal muy educado y atento. Nuestras tostadas de gambas y entrantes de costillas a la barbacoa eran geniales, al igual que las gambas con ajo y chile y Char Sui con verduras de temporada. El único aspecto negativo fue la cerveza de barril Sun Lik, que era horrible, así que quédate con la cerveza embotellada. Un buen restaurante chino sólido.

Estábamos de vacaciones en Grange Over Sands y reservamos el restaurante para 8. La señora que sirvió fue muy irrespetuosa con nosotros y muy pasiva - agresiva. vendieron una Coca-Cola multipack y un sprite que no deberían haberse vendido por separado por 3 libras 70 cada uno, que era el precio de la pinta, creo. y allí j 2 o eran solo bebidas mezcladas baratas juntas, ya que no nos dieron la botella y sabemos que nos dieron alrededor de 400 ml en una taza grande, pero una botella es de 275 ml. pero la comida era normal en comparación con otros lugares debido a que todos los platos tenían un sabor similar. No recomendaría este lugar a nadie.

we were on holiday to grange over sands and we booked the restaurant for 8. The lady who served was very disrespectful to us and very passive-aggressive. they sold a multipack coke and sprite which shouldn't have been sold separately for 3 pounds 70 each. and their j2o was just cheap mixed drinks put together as they didn't give us the bottle with it and we know as they gave us about 400ml in a big mug but a bottle is 275ml. but the food was average compared to other places due to the dishes all tasting similar. i would not recommend this place to anyone.
