The Kingfisher in Waveney

The only Chinese we order is from the Kingfisher, they always get it right and the portions are very generous.

Should have stayed shut after covid. Absolutely appalling! Waited nearly two hours for my Chinese to be delivered! When I decided to call and chase it up I got hung up on! waited 15 minutes and decided to go down and there were people getting food that had just walked in! I was then offered my £1.50 delivery back and a drink which the whole point in me ordering for delivery was so that I didn’t have to go out. I get on a Saturday night it’s busy but I was quoted 45 minutes. Spring rolls tasted awful too. Definitely wouldn’t order again go to evergreen!

Usually very good but this time I was not happy with the majority of the dishes, sauce on the barbecue ribs was burnt, batter on sweet and sour chicken balls was thick and stodgy, crispy beef was far from Crispy, phoned to complain but didn’t receive any satisfactory response

First time we've ordered from here and we were both impressed. Delivery was quicker than expected. Food was hot and delicious. Portions were generous too - enough to enjoy again tomorrow. 😃👍

OMG, snape drive needed some competition, and this place don’t disappoint. Everything I’ve had from this place has been perfect, skip the made up bad reviews 🫡

This was the worst Chinese I’ve ever had and was absolutely disgusting to the point most of it wasn’t even edible. See photos attached of some watery yellow “sauce” which was meant to be duck with plum sauce. The duck itself was extremely dry and chewy. Photos of prawn toast which was just complete slimey mush through the middle. Both the duck in plum sauce and the pork with vegetables had ridiculous amounts of mushy cucumber in it - who puts cucumber in Chinese? The flavour from that was just vile. The chicken balls, also inedible were cooked in old / stale fat you could smell as soon as the bag was opened. The gravy which came with the chicken balls was a solid this lump of gelatinous brown goo, again not a great taste either. The sweet and sour sauce looked spot on but the flavour again, can’t put my finger on it but it just wasn’t right. The roast pork was brown, dry and chewy, Chinese pork should have the red around the outside and usually paler in the middle, visually the pork was unidentifiable, just sliced up brown meat of some variety. The “crispy” chicken in honey and chilli sauce was far from crispy, it was soggy big strips, the sauce was tomatoey, almost the flavour of tomato soup, there was a vague hint of chilli but certainly no honey. The rice and chow mein were both ok that’s the only vaguely positive comment I can muster. All in all, over £40 spent with the majority all going in the bin.

Best Chinese in town period! Brilliant customer service too. Always helpful and friendly and do their best to please their customers. Have a family member who has allergies and they're always helpful on what to recommend. Their chicken curry and house specials are awesome! The satay isn't watery and actually is rich and actually contains fresh ingredients as it should be! Food is always spot on!

The BEST beef curry! Always delicious food & our go to chinese. ❤️👌

My family has just had the most amazing meals from kingfisher, My daughter had sweet and sour chicken balls, young chow fried rice and prawn crackers, my husband had burger and chips and i had young chow fried rice, Peking king prawns, seaweed and prawn crackers, such large portions, ill be having Chinese for breakfast too.

Best Chinese in Lowestoft! Closed down during covid and missed it so much. Finally had it tonight and wow what can I say. Was worth the wait all them years 🥰 thank you for the amazing food

Sesame prawn toast is the best i‘ve had in a long time with more topping than anywhere else. House Chow mein, was spot on, how i remember it tasting when it first became a favourite years ago. My friend had the chips and curry sauce and said they were very tasty. Prawn crackers came in a resealable bag, great idea as we always have left overs the next day. My second order since i was recommended, and certainly now my go to after a lot of disappointing dishes from other Chinese restaurants in the area the last 6 months.

Food is absolutely amazing. Presentation amazing. Staff fabulous

All lovely. Takeaway was great as usual

The kingfisher Chinese is by far the best Chinese in lowestoft. Food is amazing fresh and well cooked, always consistent in quality. Staff are always polite and never get orders wrong. 5⭐

Beautiful food, presented like you’d expect and with better value than other places in Lowestoft - wont be going anywhere else

Ordered a meal for one, was loads of food, easily enough for 2, also ordered onion rings, they were the best onion rings I've ever had. Delivery was super fast, absolutely excellent food and service. Thank you.

Just had our first delivery from The Kingfisher in Snape Drive Lowestoft, all the dishes we ordered were hot, fresh and tasty. Salt and pepper 🌶 crispy chicken was to die for. Dead on time for delivery. You have definitely got 2 new customers

Kingfisher, or evergreens Chinese next door!? Had both, kingfisher is the best food by far. No complaints after 4 takeaways. Food always fresh, hot and delicious

I’m so disappointed with my order from here, especially considering how many positive reviews I read before I ordered. My curry was very thick and not saucy. Same for curry sauce with chicken balls. Crispy seaweed was too thick. Beef satay is revolting, looks like cat sick and tastes of nothing but peanut. £35 completely wasted as 3/4 of the order has gone in the bin.

Food always amazing and service always good. Thankyou guys

You can't go wrong. It's our go to take away. Always friendly.

First Chinese from here, big portions, hot, fresh and delicious! Will be using again!

Fantastic food, very welcoming staff with quick and efficient service. Highly recommended to anyone in the Lowestoft area who are looking for a great meal!

Without the best Chinese takeaway in Lowestoft. Perfectly cooked, very fresh & tasty & delivery time spot on.

Great food, Great service and highly recommend!

By far the best Chinese in Suffolk. Fantastic family, food is amazing and always consistent. Portion size is more than adequate for the cost versus other takeaways. Glad to see you back after so long.

It has been along time waiting for the family to come back, but god it was well worth the wait. The food tonight was amazing and brought back memories from 3 years ago, you will not find a more beautiful, tasteful and an amazing customer service Chinese than kingfisher in Suffolk .

Best chinese in town, hope they open again soon, been too long!

Never had any complaints None greasey Always a good portion Hope they reopen soon

This place has never failed us, good portion sizes whether it's Chinese food or fish and chips. Really friendly staff. Just a shame Covid has had it closed for so long

If this is the best chippy in Lowestoft, god help Lowestoft. Just thrown away my fish and chips. Chips greasy, small and soggy. Fish tasteless, dry and over battered, had to break the batter off as overfried. If I thought I'd get my money back I'd be in my car now.

Twice now they have forgotten food on our order. Spent 15 minutes trying to ring them. Finally got through and was told my son will have to wait over an hour for his tea. Nice one. Last time we order from there. Would have given zero stars but didn’t have the option. Disgusting

Tasty, tasty food and lovely staff

The best place for fish and chips/Chinese. Always so friendly and chat all the time. Portion sizes are very good I'm always so stuffed after. 🤙

We always get our food from here! As well as amazing customer service it's the best fish and chips around Lowestoft and the BBQ ribs are to die for! Well done.

Lovely food, service very good, friendly staff, delivery driver cheerful and polite, fast delivery, lamb in honey chilli sauce is amazing, lamb so soft, fish and chips great! Would not go anywhere else, 5 stars plus more deserved.

I had some cheesy chips and they were to die for 😍 always friendly and so lovely!!

The best fish and chips I have tasted for years. Big portions too and very reasonably priced

Honestly the best Chinese in Lowestoft ! The salt and pepper chicken is the best I’ve ever had! The staff are friendly and welcoming and the food is always cooked to perfection! Highly recommend! 10/10

Just had a meal of 2 pieces of chicken,2 ribs very meaty no fat on and a portion of chips absolutely lovely

Only tried takeaway once but their Chinese chips are truly awful, food is VASTLY OVERATED but fairly priced but won't be using it again.

Wonderful food very tasty, just a tad too cool for my liking, I like hot food not tepid.

Nice polite staff,cooked to order

Chips are dry but service is good

Great Chinese, helpful and cheerful staff.

A real delight hidden away. Does the usual, Fish & Chip shop fare,plus their own comprehensive Chinese menu, delivery is available. Highly recommended.

Best CHINESE in lowestoft by a country mile! Helpful, Friendly staff, great food would Give it more than five stars if I could

Went there for the first time tonight - I was extremely impressed with the cleanliness. Staff have a great understanding of what I was able to eat (I have to eat gluten free) and recommended a dish - the sweet n sour sauce was specially made for me too. Excellent. We shall make this a regular place to eat from.

My first time all I can say very clean and friendly

This evening I really fancied garlicky prawns veg and beansprouts as on a diet but couldn’t find anything on the menu I rang up and they said they can do something for me, thank you so much it’s exactly what I wanted and full of the flavours I was after will have this again 👍🏻

Thought I would try this takeaway after looking at the reviews. Unfortunately, was not impressed. The dishes were not fresh and the chicken was very chewy. When I emptied the cartons on plates, it just came out in one congealed lump, which suggested that they had been in the carton for quite a while. Hardly any sauce and not very tasty. Would not bother to come here again.

Been using Kingfisher for about two years or so , my self and wife have tried a good selection from their menu both Chinese and English food which has mostly been excellent , we love their ' English ' chips and the staff there have always been helpful , even when asked to change the menu to suit us .

Very friendly staff and food is excellent.

Best Chinese in Lowestoft! Polite staff and always happy to have a chat whilst you wait. Love their chicken curry and salt and chilli chips 😊

Bad attitude from staff , food was terrible , we phoned to tell them expecting kingfisher to apologize, but we got a mouthful , we spent,£33 and got very upset as they didn't even offer to give some money back , or of our next order or a free dish next time, they just didn't care , !! :(

Chilli beef was fried in old fat the rest of the dishes were just not up to decent standard sorry but one of our group was also very ill.

Very good service and good size portions lovely big rbs and BBQ sauce the same as gourmet's.all round best in Lowestoft,in my opinion.

Ive always have there food and its superb top marks

Best Chinese in the town, same owners as gourmet paradise so you know it's good. Proper chips cooked in beef dripping in the chippy and fantastic Chinese food that's resterant quality. Try the spare ribs or honey chilly dishes.

Easily the best Chinese in the area, you can tell everything is homemade unlike a lot of Chinese takeaways!! Every order has always been perfect and very enjoyable, and the staff are nice and friendly. Wouldn't consider ordering from anywhere else

My favourite chinese! Brilliant food and great service. Highly recommended.

Used several times now both for Chinese food and fish and chips. Always tasty and cooked very well price is reasonable as well
