Can only assume the great reviews are family or friends. 2 mains and spring rolls, well over £20. Chips were soggy, very little chicken in the chicken fried rice and the sweet and sour just not very good. Would have been as well getting a supermarket equivalent.

We ordered lemon chicken on 4th March. When it arrived, the chicken was stone cold and dried up! Disgusting. I called the restaurant immediately, as we have had bother before and were giving them the benefit of the doubt. I was spoken to in a most unacceptable rude manner . My husband returned the food and asked her " would you eat that" he asked twice , she replied "no". I phoned again to say how I felt about her attitude and ahe did apologise and said she knew she had been rude , so fair enough. We will never use River Village again, we have had a history of sayinf that but go back Noth this time. Dreadful. Sad to say.

Despite having had a few bad experiences, we decided last week to order from New River Village. We ordered sweet and sour village for our nephew. We literally couldn't get the sauce to pour out..a gloopy disgusting mess. Nephew refused it. We did not even phone to complain as it's been consistently awful. Shame as it was our 'go to' Chinese. We most definitely wont return.

The New River Village is always my first choice when it comes to a Chinese takeaway. The restaurant is clean and the staff are always friendly. I recently tried the salt and chilli beef which is the first time I have been disappointed since going here. There wasn’t much beef and a lot of batter which is something that can be easily rectified, but considering this is the first time I have had a bad experience in years I would say that that is pretty good going. Keep up the good work!

When this was River Village the previous owner/chef used to microwave the chicken and it was not a nice experience but since the new owners took over a few years ago the place has been completely transformed.

My family and I get a takeaway roughly once a week usually amounting to over £30. Although the food is good, the orders keep arriving with items missing. One week was a whole mail meal and this week, our cans of irn bru. Highly inconvenient when you've got a heavy comedown and irn bru is one of the only things that can cure you.

If the prices were not 'city centre' we would probably use it more. The food itself can't be faulted and is some of the best chinese food I've ever had. However the prices could do with being looked at. It's not cheap but the food is fresh,beautifully presented and delicious.

Very pleasant staff. Food was all pretty good. However, I failed to pick up on the price of the 2 course menu for my children. £14.50 per child. Excessive for young children not least if they had chosen soup and ice cream. Portions could have been reduced and in doing so cost. Children didn't make a dent in their main portion but a significant dent in bill.

Today was my birthday and it all went wrong. I ended up in hospital for an x-ray and then had to go in the opposite direction as my grandson had forgotten his p.e. kit. The plan had been a lunch out. We ended up in a different place and had lunch in the New River Village. Fate had obviously intervened as we had a lovely lunch with good food and service. We had not been in this restaurant since the new owners took over and we will certainly be back.

Food was well presented and hot. only critisism is that the atmosphere is a bit lacking but to be honest when the food is good and you have good company you kinda make your own atmosphere.

Have had several takeaways from here and have never been disappointed so decided to go for a sit-in. Dishes seemed a wee bit pricey for a local restaurant but plenty of choice. For starters, my daughter and I chose the meat sharing platter and hubby the hot n sour soup, both were lovely - especially the chicken and prawn roll. Mains were equally tasty and portions were large. My twice cooked beef dish (which I only managed to eat half of) was 'melt in the mouth" and delicious as were the other mains. We finished off with banana fritters and ice cream which was beautifully presented. This is a lovely restaurant with well presented tasty food and despite my initial impression is goid value. One wee complaint though....dim those bright lights and maybe a wee bit of background music.

My husband and I went here yesterday evening while our kids were at a party nearby. It was a lovely little restaurant and we both had the Emperors 3 course meals. We both started with the chicken satay and these were delicious, so was the satay sauce. For our mains I had the Hong Kong style sweet and sour chicken with noodles and my husband had Kung Po chicken with fried rice. I was very impressed with the amount of cashews in the Kung Po as many places tend to skimp on these! There was around 2-3 cashews for each mouthful. My Hong Kong chicken was perfect, the sauce was gorgeous and the chicken had just the right crispness to the batter.For desserts I had the banana fritters and my other half had the pineapple fritter, again the presentation was lovely and the flavours and textures were amazing.The presentation on all of the food was fantastic, the decor and ambiance was lovely and peaceful and the staff were attentive but not overly so (I had read a few previous reviews of customers feeling bothered by the staff, this was not the case at all on our visit) we were both very impressed.The one and only complaint would be that the knives were a little difficult to grip.If we are in Erskine again we will definitely be visiting New River Village again, thank you for a lovely meal.Polly.

On a drive back from England we thought we'd grab a quick bite before heading home. We had our two year old with us. We chose it as it was the best rated near our home in Bowling. Having lived in the city centre for years, we are frequently disappointed by restaurants near us but this was a really pleasant surprise.We ordered salt and pepper prawns which were beautifully crunchy and nicely chilli. Our second main was mandarin beef which was fresh and sweet with lots of lovely onions. The fine soft noodles were really top class too. We'll definitely enjoy coming here more now we have found it.

Visited this restaurant several times between mid November 2014 and early January 2015. On every occasion I have to say that the service was excellent and this excellence was matched by the quality of the food. Good sized portions are served and I would find it hard to believe anyone going home hungry. No complaints from any one in our various parties and this is not always easy.

We went to The New River Village between Christmas and New Year for dinner. I often find that small Chinese restaurants just have take-away food served on plates for a pound or two per meal more than take away prices, but this place was genuinely nice - the decor is bright, food was great quality and the presentation of the dishes was really nice too - the owners have clearly put a bit of thought into their restaurant and it sets it apart from similar places in nearby Renfrew or Paisley.We had squid, beef in black bean sauce, prawns in rice paper, prawns with ginger and garlic, vegetable soup and mixed curry. We had fried rice with the mains. The prawns in rice paper were the best starter, and the beef in black bean sauce was very good as a main. The veg soup wasn't special, but was OK. All the main courses came on square plates with individual bowls of fried rice, and we were brought complimentary prawn crackers to begin and fortune cookies at the end.I like Chinese food, but it's difficult to find somewhere that is reasonably priced and pleasant to visit. It's worth coming to Erskine to go here for dinner, and we'll likely go back soon!

Well we have not been here for around 5 years for sit in or cary out, I really fancied a sit down meal and thought we would go back and try it out. We had not stopped becasue of any reason just go to Bishopton more often.Good news the food was awsome, place is a bit bright lit and you have to fight your way through the cary out customers, place was empty for sit ins, I think more people prefer take away here and it is pricey to sit in, we had no drinks, the best bit is that if we go carry out we would ahve shared a main but you dont feel you can do this in a reatsurant so end up having to much, we will be abck for cary outs again! The service was okay again cary outs comes first!

Despite now offering set menu in the evening (when they didn't do previously) they don't bother to hand out menu's for that and we only discovered this after the event. Add to that, when ordering a takeaway a few weeks ago they refused to do a children's portion (as part of a much larger order).Short sighted approach because it will take a lot to get me back there, when with a little more customer care I would have been a regular.Not many people in (I wonder why) and no atmosphere or character to speak of.

This is the 2nd review I have written for this restaurant, the 1st was way back when it first opened, since then this is still our first choice for Chinese.I would mention though, on Saturday night, earlyish, 3 of us went into the Restaurant, we were the only people sitting in although takeaway seemed busy. The staff and Manager were polite however made no effort to engage in conversation or ask if we had enjoyed the nice weather and as fairly regular customers no sign of any recognition at all. The other thing was we asked for a bottle of house white and were given a choice of two and we chose the Pinot Grigio, nice enough but at £16.95 per bottle very expensive for a local restaurant, I would expect to pay £16.95 in a city centre restaurant for a house white not in the local restaurant.My point is, the food cannot be faulted, however would be nice if there were more people sitting in to give a nice atmosphere, I think the Management should make more of an effort to make this Restaurant a "friendly" local Restaurant by engaging with the Customer more, even if you do not recognize them every Customer should be treated as though a visitor to your home, and have a house wine at around £10:95 per bottle, other restaurants, even City Centre Restaurants can offer £9.95 house wine, it could bring in more Customers therefore hitting the mark with giving the place an atmosphere.Food is still great though.

This was my second visit to The New River Village and won't be my last.... I can't wait to go back.We started with a meat shared platter which has 2 ribs, 2 chicken wings, 2 paper chicken, 2 chicken parcels and crispy seaweed.... 2 dips supplied and I have to say a wonderful mix of tastes needs to be tried... For mains we had king prawn shezuan and a crispy shredded chicken with fried rice. Beautiful and not a bit left.The desserts we always choose the ice cream it is from Thorntonhall Farm and is amazing we have tried the coconut and also the Scottish tablet flavour.... highly recommended!!!Then there was the glass of green tea you need to see it in action as the flower blooms in front of your eyes.... and a lovely flavour to follow. All in all it cost £51.00 ish and worth every penny...

Tried this place for the first time today with me boyfriend, ordered from the set lunch menu (2 courses and a drink for 8.50) I had the spring rolls to start which were ok, bit too much pepper inside them to for me personally, had the chicken satay and fried rice for main (80p supplement) that was really good. My boyfriend had the chicken noodle soup and beer curry which he really enjoyed. Will definitely be back, place is spotless..was very quiet was only us and an older couple in, service was very quick and the staff were lovely. Can't beat the price!

Delicious food at a reasonable price. The staff are very welcoming and the restaurant has a nice atmosphere. Also use the takeaway and the standard of food is no different to that when sitting in. I would highly recommend the salt and chilli chicken and the chicken chow mein. Easily the best restaurant in Erskine and one of the nicest Chinese restaurants I have eaten from.

Pretty tasteless takeaway and not cheap. Tried on 3 occasions to give it a fair chance but it never improved.

I have visited this restaurant a few times over the past months and not once have I been disappointed. The staff are attentive, the atmosphere is calm and pleasant and the food is well presented and delicious! The coconut ice cream is a must to try, they have many different flavours to offer and I intend to work my way through them! I have highly recommended this restaurant to friends family and colleagues and they have not been disappointed. It is good to have good quality restaurant on your doorstep.........

Visited here with friends and can I say this is one of the best meals we have had. From the starters to the ice cream everything was delicious.The choices on the menu was good and there should be something to suit everyone's tastes, including a great selection of ice cream including Scottish tablet which according to 2 members of our party was really good and even had bits of tablet in it. Great if you have a sweet tooth.Portion size and presentation of the food was good and taste wise it was wonderful and I am not just speaking for myself, Everyone enjoyed their meal immensely. One of our party had the prawn toast and he said it was perfect and not greasy at all. Even the coffee was really smooth and enjoyable.Staff were really friendly and polite.Look forward to another visit soon.

Have had curries and Siam chicken the last two weekends. Honestly it is safe to say the curry from here is the best I've had in a long time. Siam chicken is superb. Keep it up guys. Nice to have such a good local restaurant / takeaway in the town.

Use this regularly but as a take way service. It can, at times, be a bit hit and miss - forgetting to add the extras that you have requested. However, the last two meals have been great and quick service from order to pick up.

Unusually for me, this review is after my second visit to this restaurant, so I will divide my review into two reflecting each visit.The first time I went to this restaurant was with a couple of colleagues who were staying in the same hotel and The New River village was within walking distance. We were welcomed and seated upon arrival and ordered drinks to get started.My starter was Spare Ribs with Peking Sauce. The sauce was good and the pork ribs were well cooked so they pulled apart when bitten into as you would expect.My main course was, as anyone who has read my other reviews of Chinese restaurants will expect, Sweet and Sour Pork, Hong Kong Style. Whilst reasonable, I found the lack of a sour bite disappointing.On my second visit, I was in a bit of a rush and pointed this out to the waiter. On that basis he helped me to choose my selections from the menu to ensure I wasn’t late for my upcoming appointment.I chose Chicken Satay as my starter. As on my previous visit, I found the sauce to be a little disappointing and there was no real peanut taste.For my main course I chose Crispy Beef with Fried Rice. This was a good choice and tasted nice and flavoursome. I was a bit concerned with the colour of the dish. It seemed very red and artificial. I’ve attached a photograph with this review; I’d be interested in knowing what readers think of this.The Staff have been very good on both my visits. They are helpful and polite and enhance the dining experience.

Was tempted back after years of trying other Chinese in erskine/bishopton... So glad we did.. This is now our regular takeaway. Also visited for a lunchtime meal and instead if the usual small not up to evening meal standards the food was excellent.. I hope the restaurant goes from strength to strength? Just one request from staff... A small smile might help, you could be a bit more welcoming, both at takeaway and sit in.. Good luck

Have eaten hear with colleagues many times now, staff are friendly and helpful. Food is well priced, great portions, great quality and very fresh. The environment is very nice and time has been taken to make it stand out. This place has to be the best Chinese restaurant in Scotland, would happily recommend to anyone

Been coming to The Canton for almost 40 years both to sit in and for takeaway. Despite moving out of the Johnstone area I still frequently travel in order to get a takeaway from here as it’s the bet local Chinese restaurant around by a mile.
