The Welcome Chinese in Tendring

Great takeaway, used for many years always great food and portions

Excellent food and plentiful portions at reasonable prices.

Rice was good, however crispy chilli beef was horrible with watery sauce and no chilli, don't even get me started on the sweet and sour sauce, I was sour after paying £2.50 for a pot of flavourless orange water. This is the first and last time I will go.

Full of salt especially curry sauce

I have used this take away for many years and delivery has been good, but my last order was inedible due to the vast a mount of salt in the prawn chow mein, so today I thought that I would give them another chance, I explained my situation and asked that they do easy on the salt, why bother? they don't give a dam, my lips are still dry with the excessive amount used, is this salt masking a problem with the freshness of the dish?

Absolutely the best Chinese takeaway we have ever had so pleased the one we was recommended was closed and glad it was

Very impressive used twice now after first time was so good

Plz don’t go to this Chinsea the dinner turned up late also the meal was very salte the chicken balls like rubber knowing I have not been to them for years thought they would have got better but nop still the same food is still bad

Great food and free delivery over £15

Just to let you know from the beginning, I start buying from them My, most of the order. I always order salt and pepper prawn and last 6 or 5 times give me a dirty prawn doesn’t clean it. Just when you start eating, you can see the dirty inside prawn

Super friendly with fast service and excellent quality and value.

Best one around bar far, food has always been excellent hot and very quick delivery always looks fresh. Every time we phone lovely staff willing to help. Well done to cooks counter staff and delivery people Thank you

Great takeaway never had a conplaint food and portion size good too.

Chefs obviously smoking out back but person taking orders tried to blame it on someone stubbing a cigarette out the front. We’re not stupid. Revolting sounds of someone with a hacking productive cough also emanating from the kitchen really put us off. We both only took a couple of mouthfuls & found the food wasn’t the best so we ended up giving it to the dog. Positives were that the person taking the order spoke perfect English & they accept cards.

This is good for a Friday night Chinese. Its not high end but its OK.

Amazing we’re staying at high field grange Ordered food the Resturant / takeaway deliver to the gate and was on time food hot and very tasty Will store the number on my phone as we are regular at the park which is 5 star also Thanks guys and girls Food is 10/10

Excellent 7,5,2023 the lovely lady who served me got exactly what I wanted

Not bad been 3 times because favourite one was closed but food too salty batter soggy spring rolls too plain no taste

Nice polite service. Food not as good as it used to be and now quite expensive. Parking can be problem.

very aggresive rude woman have been a customer for a couple of years hung up on me twice said i was distrepesctfull because food was not what i ordered avoid this shop they wont be getting my money again

Smashing food five star rating from me keep up the good cooking

Have been ordering delivery for years from Welcome. Last night I placed an order, told the amount, queried price as so much more than the web, they said they aren’t on the web but they’ll send a new price list. They then hung up. I was charged £15.40, yet prices on the new price list came to £12.70 - £2.70 overcharged. Chicken Chow Mein was minus the chicken. They are on the web, it even shows a picture of the place. Hence I could post this review. Disgusted.

Food come fast and hot special chowmein was some good the prawns was big aswell . Chicken balls are amazing . How ever the chicken curry was lacking flavor so only a 4 **** but will be ordering again

First time ordering tonight ,very impressed, lovely tasty food,very reasonable price,arrived on time by friendly delivery driver. Will definitely be ordering from here again

Gone down hill,just ordered our normal Chinese for home delivery,when arrived,missing two items from order,(chips and sweet an sour sauce)called took another 20mins to get them redelivered,no chicken in our chicken chow mein,larger pancake rolls was uneatable as bitter,so I say bean sprouts are off! Recalled them told them I've sent pancakes bk for chef to eat,lady said I'll take them off your next order,told her I won't be ordering again!!!

Had meal delivered. Was nice and hot but Chicken Balls were very stodgy and chicken a bit hard. BBQ sauce very watery. Lumps of fat in rice.

Very tasty and good food. Reasonable price. Fast service

Lovely food just avoid the duck spring rolls !

To expensive £260 for sweet and sour sauce omg went down the road only £120 ripp off beware

Fantastic food staff are very helpful nice price

I have just been to this restaurant where my phone was out of battery and the two girls working there could not have done any more for me genuine people just beiinng thereself not worried about reviews thank you 💯💯

I have not been for little while and when I ordered my meal over the phone and they told me the price it was 10p more expensive which I know things go up anyway when I got there I did a quick look at the price and picked up a new menu only to find out the prices on my menu were correct.I asked why I was paying 10p more and was told it was for the bag. I know about saving the planet etc but if I was told in the first place we have to pay for there little white plastic bag I would have brought my own as I do everywhere else or for warned me I just like to be asked or mentioned about this not just put on the bill . The service was not great and I will not be going there again

Tried this Chinese for the first time tonight, was delicious and portions more than enough!

Really nice food at a modest price. Parking is easy.

Stayed at Highfield Grange holiday park and nearby is this Chinese takeaway, had chicken chow mein, capital spare ribs, sweet and sour chicken hong Kong style and egg fried rice with beef curry. It was really nice and the staff were very friendly. Highly recommend.

Always super fast delivery and A* food

Ordered Chinese tonight It was absolutely lovely spare ribs are amazing in capital sauce cow mein was lovely welcome is the only place i get a Takeaway from...👌👌

Usual very nice food but last night awful. Sesame prawn toast full of grease, curry extremly hot too hot to eat, syrup from pineapple fritter over everything. I know someone else had taken my order by Mistake but they should have cooked my order fresh not given it to me. Wont be using again.

Great Chinese, we are staying at a local holiday park and it was simple, quick and easy to order and collect. The Chinese was super tasty and we were all very full after eating it.

I considered getting a Chinese meal tonight from somewhere else. However, I bottled it, and went with my usual takeaway. Welcome Chinese never disappoints, and I've been going there for decades. I'm now sitting here drooling all over my handset, in anticipation of a delicious meal. Go with what you know and like, and you will never be disappointed. Nuff said!

Last year had a really nice meal..ordered twice this year, found the food to be salty and different taste to what we usually have..

I have used this take away for years then a few weeks ago my meal was too salty. I told them about it. Yesterday I ordered again and it was far too salty again. I won't be going back. There are plenty of other Chinese takeaways in Clacton.

Food bland .Not worth a visit.

Love this take away. Delivery guys are friendly and respectful. Food is delish and always very clean. They are are very knowledge as I have allergies and they are specific and aware and I highly recommend. I use this take away at least 3-4 times a month. Really good all round 😊👍🏼

Great value and great tasting Chinese takeaway/delivery this evening; rice portions were a good size and the food was not greasy - thankyou “welcome staff”

We have had take out from here quite a few times. It has always been delivered within the time span given. Always been hot and always very tasty. Friends and family that we have introduced to The Welcome Chinese also have said how amazing it is. Best Takeaway ever.

Leaves a lot to be desired, under cooked chicken balls , never returned, beef tough really not nice , never returned

Got order wrong food was not very hot have had better

Really good n large portions. Would never use another.

Best in clacton for me, 5 stars 👍🌟

Really nice Chinese. Had food delivered and it arrived quickly and hot.

Brilliant food at a great price, fast & friendly delivery service, highly recommend

Picked up take away for myself and my husband on the way home from work. We thought the food was tasty, hot and reasonably priced. Will return very soon and recommend

We have take away good quick and great value for money, food is always hot and what more can you ask for, if I had anything to say the chicken balls are great

Lovely chinese and staff were friendly.

Lovely, the first time I have ordered food and it was wonderful will use it again 100%

ordered takeaway while staying in park nearby highfield. food was hot quality and best I had for years .will use again definitely.tasty hot and wasn't salty or full.of msg. so nice chow main best ever chicken balls were really big fresh breast meat..the best I had in years..recommended

Very lovely food well worth the money excellant

Ok it has changed hands and is much better in terms of speed and cost and quality. Also they ask more questions so indeed I would say the staff are very good at customer Service.

Had a set meal arrived warm not hot, paid £28.50 for it , starters very poor , really small portions really bad value phoned up to complain girl on phone not interested so avoid at all costs , other places better value and better customer service

Food was ok but noodles were very dry. Ok for what it was but not the best Chinese in Clacton. The chicken balls were nice. I will try again as it may of just been a bad day.

Lovely big plate full of Chow Mien, the House Special, completely delicious, £4.95. Quality at a very reasonable cost.

Great food fast delivery still the best in clacton

Just would like to say a big thank you to all the staff at the Welcome for providing us with our extremely large food order last Saturday night. All was delivered on time, at the same time and all 13 or so orders were bagged up and named correctly, everyone's order was as per requested and special requests for extra chilli's and such like all remembered. The food was excellent, all arrived on a cold and blustery evening piping hot! Thank you for taking on our request for such a large party of people.

sinking ship, I Gave them a chance New staff, smaller size food, another chinese soon its a shame

Gone downhill since change of ownership.

If I had reviewed this place 6 months ago I would have given 5 stars. Unfortunately it's gone downhill recently. First the menu was changed with less choice on the set meals and no longer am option of set meals for 4. Worse though the food is now quite bland and the meat (beef and chicken) is slimy. The mixed starters were greasy and lukewarm. The vegetables were ok and you certainly can't complain about the portion sizes. Apparently there's been a change of ownership in that time. Sorry but we won't be back.

Popped in Thursday evening for a takeaway...The young girl behind the counter was very friendly and accommodating as we had a couple of special requests which was no problem.. food came quickly and we enjoyed what we had.. will use again sometime soon.

Ordered a lunchtime takeaway, waited a while for my order, but the wait was worthwhile as it was freshly cooked, free home deliveries are offered for evenings, prices are on par with similar takeaways, and the menu is vast with something for everyone, this restuarant is badly in need of a refurb as it is very antiquated. .

Food here was always really good, but new owners now. We ordered a meal on Friday 9th November. when it arrived it was luke warm, the sweet and sour sauce was insipid and the chicken was so overcooked it was stringy and tough! Having been loyal, regular customers for years we will not be eating here again. We also complained and were offered a meal but when my husband went in to order it he was refused.

Delicious food and very friendly service.

The Welcome chinese always was good but it has got much better. The food is superb & they deliver locally to holiday parks which is how I use them. They deliver without fuss & meet you at the gate with a smile. The food is delicious & If you want a perfect dish try the Sechzwan chicken. Quite stunning.

Very fine food. Staff friendly and helpful..

Food tasted fresh and cooked nicely. Not long to wait for food. Will revisit very soon. One of the better Chinese take away sin Clacton

Lovely food. Staff always pleasant. Food tasty. Never wait to long for my order, free prawn crackers and little tasters free.

Was the best in Clacton what a shame after 12 years using it . Now got to find another , changed everything terrible meal and more expensive. Bring back previous owners !

Food was Fantastic, delivered on time by friendly driver & assistant and was piping hot. Really enjoyed the food and they delivered to the caravan site we were staying at for a time we had arranged. They even ran to say they were on there way. Great service for a Saturday night. Thank you!

Excellent food with very friendly service. Take cash though, no cards here.

Not bad food, easy to park good fast service, lovely people, worth a visit in my opinion , give it a go

Unfortunately I never got to try food for here as they do not accept payment by debit card and I do not carry cash around any more. Need to get into the 21st century!

Excellent Food great value for money really recommend it

Great food fast and friendly service. Highly recommended

La comida llega rápido y caliente.

Una vez en la calle bienvenido.

He recogido el pedido de 4 comidas que teléfono estaban listos a tiempo.

Ate from here last night. It wasn't terrible but it wasn't great. The food was pretty bland and tasteless to be honest Although it's the nearest to me it's not a Chinese I will visit again

No podemos creer que este lugar está justo bajando la calle de nosotros y nunca hemos pedido nada! ¡Es increíble! Llamó para preguntar si hicieron todo lo vegano como parece restaurantes chinos en Clacton no. El hombre en el teléfono era muy servicial y complaciente. Él nos ayudó a escoger entre 2 platos de tofu, un chow mien y un plato de arroz. Absolutamente encantador y el tofu estaba fuera de este mundo! Incluso mi suegro comer carne estaba impresionado! Fueron muy serviciales y sin duda pedir de ellos!

As we were on holiday with our dog, it was difficult to find any eatery, we found this takeaway, staff seemed happy and polite, delivered to our site within 30 mins, food was hot and tasted fresh.

Nicely cooked food, quick delivery and piping hot!! Nice person delivered it too, will always use this take a way.

service excellent delivered on time hot and tasty fresh produce quantity ample as they catered for 10 0f us they added extra free to.

Los probamos todos en Clacton. bienvenida es uno de los mejores. comida caliente y sabrosa. No salados como pueden ser. siempre van a ellos ahora. Yum Yum

Always had an enjoyable takeaway meal from here, which is a lot more than I can say for most meals I buy, enjoyable being the operative word, sometimes very enjoyable indeed. Big 5***** thank you. I am 84 years old and been coming here for at least 25 years, nowadays mainly by home delivery, but occasionally I 'pop' in.

I will not go anywhere else for Chinese food. It is delicious, the staff are friendly always. I particularly recommend the beef chow mien with some curry sauce. Yumm.

I had previously ordered from here with friends the other week and was so impressed with the high standard of food and service that I HAD to order again. So we ordered for a family of 8, of various ages and everyone LOVED it. With having a large order, we was recommended to preorder it, which we did. We asked for it to come at 7 and it didn't come a minute late. Fantastic service from the lady taking the order, to the delivery driver... And of course the chefs! (and everyone in between) Food was superb. Came really hot, fast and packed with flavour. Highly recommend the smoked chicken, special chow mein and the roasted pork in Chinese sauce (which was a random pick) sooo impressed with that dish. Thank you for a gorgeous, family meal. Can't wait to order again.

Quick delivery, great flavour, good prices. This is a take away Chinese that does delivery. A reat service and a great meal. Highly recomended

Very swift food delivery and collection. You get the personal touch, if you phone an order they refer to you by name

We LOVE our WELCOME CHINESE Takeaway. This is in fact the ONLY Chinese Takeaway we use in Clacton. The food is lovely, a little pricey - a lot dearer than a chippy/chicken take out, but you won't be disappointed. It isn't full of slimey, thick gloop that you find in other Chinese takeaways.The chicken balls are lovely and you usually get a small bag of prawn crackers with your order....Thanks WELCOME for being so gorgeous (don't put your prices up anymore, as we will struggle to afford to buy from you if the prices go up anymore.....plus, you'll get more customers if you don't keep putting your prices up!)

Have used this local a few times and it's a nice meal. Fast service and free drink when you spend £30 I think. Would prefer to see a little more authentic Chinese food on menu and some dumplings

I must admit it's been a few years since we ordered a Take-Away from here - can't remember why; but we ordered tonight and it was Lovely. We called at about 6:15pm and The lady on the phone said that it will be delivered in about half an hour, so we turned on the TV to catch up with Big Brother......within 10/15mins the door bell rang and it was here - I think that's the quickest a delivery in Clacton has ever taken. We ordered Egg Fried Rice, Chicken Chinese style, Chicken Hong Kong Style, Chips and a Pancake roll. They even threw in a small bag of prawn crackers - All for under £15.00 - a perfect amount for 2 people....which could stretch to 3 if you had smaller portions. We'll be ordering from here again in the future.

Ordered a takeaway which they said would take an hour to be delivered. Phoned up 1 hour and a half later to see where it was - it will be another 20 minutes. Ridiculous. 1st and last time I order from this Chinese restaurant.
