Dried ribs were nice. Egg fried rice was hard but edible however chicken chow main I didn't even touch it the view and smell put me off. Chicken looked slimmy and smell disgusting. I will never here again

My vegetable chow mein consisted a whole tub of noodles with two small broccoli florets and one snap pea, and half a tub of salt 😡 the other half of this portion is in the tub and is just noodles. Disgusted.

Absolutely disgusting food. Chicken Chow Mein was Chicken over soggy noodles. Special Fried Rice was meat on rice. Nothing mixed in to make it a proper dish. Lazy Chef! Front of house wasn't appealing either. The person at the counter was perished with the cold. Never getting my custom again. I've seen better food given to dogs... It's a shame really because I used this place years ago and the food was excellent. I could do better with a stir fry pan and an air fryer. Close this place down ASAP...

This was my first time using this takeaway and I was blown away with high standards of cuisine. It reminded me of the Chinese food of 70's and 80's takeaways. I loved the chicken curry and the prawn crackers were wafer thin not thick as you get a most takeaways these days. Well done to the owner/chef. My only disappointment is that this takeaway is closed on a Monday.

Very dissapointing, Chicken Chow Mien was tasteless. As per other recent review I suspect that it may have contained a lot of MSG as I was very thirsty afterwards.

The food is amazing, But customer service really needs help. When asking for Tofu it was a big deal to call it ' Beancurb' instead (Everywhere else in the world calls it just Tofu). We stoped eventually going there as we felt mistread and corrected by the lady behind the counter, even ignored at some points as she seemed more ocupied chatting some other customer.

This used to be one of the best Chinese Takeaways in the area and I have been using it for the last ten years. Sadly the service, quality and value for money has fallen recently. Twice in the last week I have been given the wrong meal however the young lady serving refused to replace it. They have also started to use much smaller containers for their food which significantly impacts on value for money. Unfortunately I will not be returning again and will use the Aroma restaurant next door instead.

The Chinese Food Centre offers very tasty dishes at reasonable prices. I asked for my favourite Cantonese dish, 'salt and pepper tofu' and they were happy to make it even though it was not on the menu. Served with slivers of onion, it was almost better than in Hong Kong! Also recommended: the Singapore fried noodles. Service was fast and helpful. We will be back for more!

Been visiting for 20+ years. All the best Chinese restaurants dont deliver, to get the best you have to collect. Big portions and unlike some you can tell the difference between pork and chicken in the dishes as it's not unidentifiable. Very rarely slow service, but I always ring before I collect.

My partner and I normally get our chinese take out else where but thought having recently moved 2 mins away from the Chinese Food Centre we would grab some food on the way back from a long day. Safe to say we wont be doing this again. The chow mein had some sort of residue and the chicken was just chucked on top, the residue felt almost like vaseline it was the most bizzare texture I have had in Chinese food. The egg friend rice was very dry and the sweet and sour chicken hong kong style was very chewy and the sauce was very bitter it was as though you had just poured a bottle of vinegar all over the dish. We ordered some extra crispy chilli beef, this was the first thing i opened, the smell was revolting it was burnt to crisp and just smelt of over cooked egg. The prawn crackers were the best part of the take out so if your after some decent prawn crackers then this is the place but other than that it was aweful to the point my partner and I were feeling nauseous for the rest of the evening and into the following day.

Placed a £20+ order and went to collect. The food was bland and tasteless and was very disappointed so rang to say I would be bringing it back. Got there and explained my reasons, sadly never got offered any sort of refund so had to spend more money on food from elsewhere. You've had my 20 quid for nothing so you won't be getting my custom again.

We have been using this takeaway for over 30 years. After tonight, never again. The food is dry, with no sauces. As for healthy(yeah, I know it's a takeaway), forget about finding any mushroom, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, cucumber, peas, etc. Previously, all the meat was nicely sliced and you could see and taste nice quality had been used. Now, it was all chopped up small, presumably to make it look like it contained more than was actually there, and it included all the gristle and bone. We have never had a problem before, and always recommended it. Never again. Disgusted.

Always a long wait for delivery. However this time it was an hour late. Called up and they said it was just being prepared which is honest and these things happen. However when it arrived the least I would have expected was free prawn crackers especially when the order was over £50. This is and has always been for over 10 years our go to Chinese but with prices the way they are then I will go elsewhere if my loyal business is taken for granted and not acknowledged when they are at fault.
