Amazing chicken balls and egg fried rice. Stevo and Susan loved the food One downside is the children answering the phone but they do a good job and the food distracts me from the downsides

Okay we have used these for 6 years and until this year they were ok ish. Now for some reason they have 2 small boys serving and on the telephone. Not only should they not be serving customers but they are the nudist children I have ever spoken to. 😡😡😡

Went to order a take away, small child came to take our order, must have been bout 10years or less. Place served alcohol, So should t have been serving. Food came, tasteless, prawn in satay sauce. Was more like onions in stay sauce. There was few prawns but so many thick cut raw onions, Didn’t enjoy at all, There were tables for eating outside, but needs a good clean, wouldn’t have wanted to eat on them.

Delicious, lovely food made to a high standard in minutes. The downside is that you can only take away on that moment. However, when you take a bite of this food in your mouth, you forget about the downsides. The prices are really very low.

Having been a champion of this takeaway since it was opened, I was so disappointed to be refused delivery today( Saturday 7 th August). They said it was busy and they couldn’t fit us in. We have been having takeaways at weekends for many years and this had never happened before. It seems the holiday makers are keeping the one driver they have very busy. It would make sense in peak holiday times to increase your drivers in order to meet demand. That way you would be looking after your regulars, not just the holiday makers. Very disappointed that our custom appears to have no value. Let’s hope they have a long quiet winter. Ps. The food is great! The very loud , argumentative woman answering the phone is appalling. Tonight we went for a takeaway again but it was a big let down. 1/4 duck over done and dry/burnt like it had been left in a deep fat fryer. The prawn toast was burnt, the ribs overdone but chewy, not falling off the bone. It’s like they too had been in a deep fryer till hard. Not enough seafood in the seafood main dish . Very disappointing. That’s it now. We go won’t use them again. I suggest they get a new chef and buck their ideas up. There’s plenty of competition. £46.85 spent poorly.

Disgusted with their service this evening. Food ordered at 17.49 and was told delivery would be 18.45. Gave it a while as I expected they might be busy. Phoned at 19.10 to ask when my order was being delivered. No apology given I was just asked if I could collect! Would I have asked for delivery if I could collect? I have used this Chinese for years, not just for me but also my clients. Food was eventually delivered at 19.43! The delivery guy was lovely and couldn't be more sorry for the delay. I will no longer be using or recommending Tian Tian Xian for myself or my clients. There are other take aways that deliver on time!!

Nice delicious food, although prices have gone up. So has become more expensive. Unfortunately. This Chinese is spoilt by a. Very inquisitive. English lady who takes orders. She. Wants to know where you live. What street. Your life history. All I want to do is go in say Hi and bye. And enjoy. Our food, not get Spanish inquisition. This lady wasn't there in winter months. Chinese. Are very capable. Of taking the orders and their young son. It's getting to stage where we may have to find a alternative. Chinese as don't like questioning. It's very rude, shame as food is nice. PLEASE MR TIAN FIND. A DECENT PERSON TO DO ORDERS PLEASE. I AM SURE YOU'LL GET MORE BUSINESS

Absolutely disgusting attitude....after the stupid woman obviously made a mistake by telling us the wrong amount over the phone and 4 of us heard her she had the nerve to accuse me of ordering and not paying the full amount after always paying over the amount other times and even thinking I was giving them a tip...and the driver said I drove off before he counted the money but in reality I waited till he got in his car and then drove off before my dinner went cold....never again will I order from them again and I know many others that won't be ordering again....ruined our night with friends

The woman behind the counter really needs to attend a course in customer service. Her tone and attitude was completely unacceptable with no manners whatsoever and for no reason, We hadn't even opened our mouth to speak. So shocked by her rudeness we told her not to worry about ordering and left. Looking at the food hygiene rating of 1 requiring major improvements afterwards she possibly did us a favour. Certainly will not be returning.

Difficult inspection this one as the food received is very good and price acceptable but when spending £80 on an order for collection customers should receive what they ask for order taker polite when accepting 5 sweet sauces changed for curry sauces when opened back at base sweet and sour to all 5 and a missing extra curry which was charged for TianTian food is good but ordering and communication for collation of the order requires work

Went to take away on 17.7.2020. Put a order in at 1045 thinking chinese closed at 11.30 took order said closing at 110, then hung up thought bit rude. Friend went in to collect and pay. Came back said no change. So i went back inside to say short on change. A very rude english woman blonde hair with black roots there. Insistant gave correct change. Went asked friend not true. So went back this woman had a lift waiting outside. Abruptly she said closed. Si i tried door she then followed said to a chinese man give her change. Then started lsughing like im being petit. No customer service why chinese have employed such a rude unfriendly person to serve i do not know. Her body lanuage appaulling attitude. Nit sure if changed management since last season. If woman had of been honest said ran out of change or come back tomorrow and collect or knock of order next time would of understood. But lieing messing customers around not good. Spoke to someone about this and apparently lady has funny attitude with others and nasty to her delivery driver. Think chinese will loose business putting a worker like her on. Please get rid of her and put someone polite friendly on. Food i had was very nice nithing wrong with it. Just hastle and abuse before getting it. So no customer service even if chinese speak no English cant be worse than this english women who served us

Placed an phone order whilst walking home with the kids, called in and collected it every thing seemed pleasent. Got home order was wrong, This type of thing is usually easily rectified in a takeaway and I was willing to pop back down to the shop to change the order but instead i was accused of lying, i asked to speak to a manager told there was none working and then the phone hung up. Walked down had an slight altication with said member of staff, again asked for the owner with the same response (was not in and couldn't speak English) . Two minutes later strangely the owner appeared from the kitchen and I finally got a refund. I am new to the area and ordered multiple times the same order within this week. Food is usually not bad but the lack of customer service will not see me back again.

Fancied our first Chinese since moving here 3 months ago. Tried 3 takeaways who said they didn't deliver, so rang Tian Tian Xiang unsure as to whether they did takeaway or not. They did and also delivered at a cost of £6 which we wouldn't usually have paid but as we both had a drink earlier in the afternoon couldn't risk driving to collect. Well what can I say about the food. Absolutely delicious, best Chinese takeaway I've ever had. Can't wait to visit the restaurant itself for the real deal. Both of us were delighted we'd had a drink and couldn't drive or else we'd have travelled elsewhere to collect and missed this golden opportunity!!

Ordered a Chinese here, was told on the phone it would be about 45 minutes. 1 hour and 15 minutes later it still had not arrived so I called and asked how much longer it would be. I was told it would be one minute they’re just sending it out now with their delivery driver. 45 minutes later I saw the delivery driver pull up outside the house across the road from me and take the food to their house. But by this point I’d given up and was already on the phone to cancel my order because 2 hours wait is ridiculous. We understand that it may be busier because of the peak season but as locals who are the ones who keep their business open all year round we don’t expect to wait 2 hours for our food!!!

I chose a chicken curry with fried rice but found the chicken to be not so meaty as if it had been impregnated with water to bulk it up. They offered me 2 sizes of rice. The small was sufficient for me. I've had better Chinese curries.

dont normally review but visited here and expected a half decent meal. The place needs a good refurbishment and general updating. The drink stock was limited (we asked for 3 different drinks and they did not have) we ordered the food and it took ages and was cold when it arrived, plus we did not all get served at the same time. Price was to high for the meal, on the plus side the one member of staff we saw was pleasant.

Felt slightly peckish so ordered more than usual (9 things off menu + prawn crackers) It is Chinese year of the pig isn't it?Actually it's year of the monkey, my mistake.All dishes were well cooked, hot & tasty as usual. There was really enough for four people & suffice to say there was some left for the next day. I see they've painted over the grubby bits but only on one side of restaurant though, the paint brush never made it to the other side.Think TA should add another circle as rating jumps from 'average' to 'very good'. Should be able to rate 'good' as I am in this case.

Restaurant looks in need of some TLC and not particularly inviting. However we were advised that the food was good from here and well worth trying as a take away.

Went to Tian Tian for a take out meal but as I waiting couldn't help noticing the filth in the restaurant area. Started to get quite concerned whether the kitchen was as bad as what I could see? Took my meal home & to be honest it was nice, did cost £28.40 for two but had a fair bit left to eat the following day.I contacted the council's food hygiene agency who informed me that Tian Tian only have two stars for hygiene! Didn't know this as their certificate is not displayed as most other food outlets do by the entrance. But the agency officer did assure me the kitchen is ok & there is nothing to worry about. I'm amazed that hygiene standards are not carried through to the restaurant area which is used as the owners living/dining room! I do like the food here though so will probably continue ordering my take out from here maybe with some caution.

Decor in restaurant was old and outdated and it had more like the feel of a transport cafe then a Chinese restaurant. 3 of us went and all ordered starters... plus 1/2 crispy aromatic duck with accompaniments plus some main meal dishes. I knew we were in trouble when the waitress brought up the crispy duck with said accompaniments and proudly announced "hot and spicy" soup which surprised us as my wife was supposedly already eating it....and her soup was neither hot or spicy.. when we queried with the waitress she disappeared straight back to the kitchen and then came back 5 mins later to announce it was not hot and spicy soup but plum sauce for the crispy duck!! In her defence she did say it was her first night on the job, but notwithstanding her faux pas the food was absolutely tasteless and dry.... none of us finished our meals, the crispy duck was dry and we left most of it, none of us completed starters or mains.Needless to say if we are ever in the area again we will not be paying this place a visit.I have to say that whilst we were there the phone never stopped ringing and takeaway and delivery orders were taken non stop. Make of that what you can.

Peking spare ribs were mainly bone & not cooked properly. Noodles fried in old oil you could even taste it, possibly refried. I rang up and they denied there food could possibly be this bad, it was only when I turned up with the food in a rubbish bag did he finally start taking notice. They refused at first to give us a refund on to our card at first for our order until the other customers what we're not from round here started to rethink about dining here. We eventually got our refund however not on the card but cash.DO NOT EAT HERE AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

We visit Mablethorpe every year or so and usually get a Chinese takeaway on the high street. Last week we found this one, which is a little out of town, but the quality of the food is exceptional and the prices no more expensive. We had spare ribs, foo yung and chow mein, and all three dishes were the best we have ever tasted. They do deliver (for a charge) but we just ordered over the counter and only had to wait five minutes. Not the most attractive area or decor, but the food is superb. Won't be going anywhere else in future!

We ordered a take away from here and went and collected. The food was fine but what I'm not sure about is the place as a restaurant. Really wish we'd had delivered. Scruffy looking and feeling, in desperate needs of a coat of paint. Doesn't help that the room was being used as a kids play area with toys and bikes all over. Furniture was dated and not set out for eating. If we'd gone for a meal would of turned straight around and left. Would suggest it sticks to being a take away and forgets the restaurant part.

As we were driving round Mablethorpe we thought we would pop into Tian Tian Xian for our tea. Never again. We decided to eat in which is possibly the worst decision. The room is dirty and unclean, from the very start I knew the experience was not going to go well. When we got asked what drinks we would like from the menu they then told us they didn't even have what any of us requested so settling for second best we continued looking at what we would like to eat. When the drinks arrived I had a white substance down the side of my glass, quite clearly I was not prepared to drink it. Whilst two of us decided we didn't want food one of us ordered two different options from the menu. One of the orders was incorrect and the other had a hair on. Totally unacceptable not to mention the fact the price was high for what we had actually ordered. I cannot comment on the take away options but I would stay away from eating in.

We celebrated the (Chinese) New Year with a fabulous takeaway from Tian Tian Xian. The food was delivered early, beating the estimated 35 minutes by 10 minutes, but we are very local to the premises. It arrived piping hot and in very generous portions. Five people were full to bursting after sharing 3 starters, 4 mains and 2 noodles, with leftovers! Every single dish was delicious but the kung po chicken was outstanding. We'd recommend this restaurant to anyone who enjoys good takeaway.

Ordered a takeaway on Mon evening, as always ring order through then pickup.As always in my experience anyway, yet another nice meal, didn't have much this time just sweet & sour chicken, chicken chowmein, special fried rice, pancake roll & banana fritter.All very tastey as usual. The only criticism is the state of the place, why anyone would eat there is beyond me. At least three of the tables were covered in stuff, paperwork & the delivery bags they use. Their little boy was running around & ran straight into me. I do wonder what the kitchens like when the so called restaurant is such a mess & in need of decoration? But I will still get my takeaway from here, ignorance is bliss!

Have been using this take-a-way since it opened & all ways found it Ok for what you pay. I suspect that all the pe-cooked food is microwaved to order, I could be wrong but doubt it.What I wouldn't do is eat in as the menu appears to be the same as take out just a bit dearer. The main reason for not eating in is because it is so shabby & tired looking, the restaurant area is used as the owners living area/dining room. Often seen are the owners or staff eating at the table at the back, sometimes table covered in paperwork but worse is their kids eating or playing in the restaurant. They've even got a fridge inbetween the tables. Don't think they are expecting anyone to eat in. Obviously don't know how to present the restaurant to the public.

Ok so we had takeaways and eat out alot while we have been stopping at golden sands so we have visited alot of food establushments in mablethorpe. To but it bluntly it just was not very nice and it wasnt busy so couldnt see any excuses. delivery took 55mins when told 25-30minsFunny thing i noticed on here too is the 4 star review 2 below mine dated 13/10/14 is actualy suppose to be for China Rose as there resturant is upstairs and this one is ground level. Wouldnt come again to this place

OK first I don.t normally complain to the www about bad restaurants - however for this establishment the exception is needed.... firstly only hot tea was available and a limited amount of cold drinks, I admit the starters whilst perhaps not as advertised were OK, then came the main course (four in the party) 2 came out then a wait of about 5mins came the 3rd some 10mins after the first the four came. Was it worth waiting for 'hell no' it was supposed to be beef chow mien - more like noodles with greasy end bits of beef. The duck fried rice on meal 1 was or seemed/tasted micro waved, the lemon chicken in fairness was OK albeit very thin and not over proportioned. The only saving grace however was not ironically Chinese but an English dish that was the 1/2 chicken -that was indeed cooked very nice.....

Fantastic Chinese cuisine with friendly staff. You may miss this place walking past as it is upstairs but please make the effort to go as you will not be dissapointed.

We had a thoroughly enjoyable meal from start to finish.This isn't a posh establishment......but it is somewhere where you will be made to feel welcome, be served with a smile, and most importantly be served very decent food with generous portions at reasonable prices.We will defiantly be returning, and on leaving took a takeaway menu, as felt the food was far better quality than our local one.I can highly recommend the wonton soup and seafood special in oyster sauce which even contained a scallop, and the squid was not rubbery either.....always a sign of a good chef......I have eaten in many so called posh resteraunts in the past that didn't get it this right.......so well done to all *******A special mention too, to the lovely young man whom took our order, served us with a smile, and was both attentive and accommodating, despite it being a Saturday night and he was very busy with takeaway orders......(always a good sign).....we felt he multi tasked well********

Utterly Dissapointed. we had a chinese in the other chinese resturant in mablethorpe that was exceptional but this week there waiting time was too long for an order so we thought we would try here. We both said afterwards we eished we waited the 2 hours because this place was discusting and thats being polite. food was salty and overly seasoned and just tasted awfull we had chicken black bean and sweet and sour chicken and we had never had such a bad chinese before. i wouldnt go here again even if it was for free. OVOID

This chinese was recommended to us by a local and it didn't disappoint. It was reasonable priced too. I would recommend the chicken and sweetcorn soup!

We ordered a takeaway to be delivered on the 12th august we put in quite a large order as there was 6 adults. We ordered 2 chicken chow mein, 2 large egg fried rice, 1 chicken balls with sweet and sour sauce, 1 pork balls with sweet and sour sauce, 1 crispy shredded beef, 2 salt and pepper chicken prawn crackers and chips. The chow meins tasted burnt they had been cooked far to long and I would say there was only a few strips of chicken in there. The chicken balls were not nice at all they tasted like they had been warmed up in the microwave and were like rubber. The batter wasnt crispy that was like rubber too. The pork balls were the same and only two of them were pork. These come with one small pot of sweet and sour there should have been two as these are two seperate dishes and the tub was very small not like other chinese takeaways where you get large tubs. The egg fried rices that were sent were small portions and hardly no egg in them. The prawn crackers were the smallest bag I have ever known a chinese to sell. Salt and pepper chicken and shredded beef were only average. When you are paying 46 pound and even give a 5 pound tip for delivery this is not acceptable. Is this even a chinese restaurant that is ran and food cooked authenically? We called the restaurant and said we would bag all the food up as we left this and were dissapointed and would like a refund which they gave us. When we visit mablethorpe again we will not be ordering from this restaurant.

We have had plenty of take aways from here and every single one of them had been utterly gorgeous. Although through busy time the waiting period can be a little too long the food is brilliant. As well as being quite reasonably priced.

We had a rather disappointing time here, but I'd like to balance that by saying we didn't go in till around 9.30 on a Saturday evening, when there was only one member of staff and all the takeaway orders were coming in, so we understood that they were busy.The place obviously does very well as a takeaway as the phone never stopped ringing and the food we ordered was very tasty, but I think they could probably focus on being a restaurant OR a takeaway, as they seemed a little understaffed to do both. Our sit down meal suffered due to the demands of the takeaway orders coming in.We didn't want to complain to the waiter who served us, as he was literally the only one there doing any serving. When we first walked in two of the tables were already occupied by paperwork and delivery bags, and the remaining ones to be seated at were covered with dirty dishes and napkins and hadn't been wiped off. It was a bit of a state, but there was nowhere else near to eat so we sat down and waited, and the staff were very apologetic.Looking at the menu we could see all kinds of confusion. In the one I had the set meals were marked as one price, and in my boyfriend's they had been scribbled out and marked as another (in the final bill, it was even more expensive). There were several things crossed out in mine that were not in his, and little notations all over the drinks menu which we could hardly make out. I would advise asking when you order!We waited rather a long time for our starters, and the table was still a bit sticky with a pushchair shoved up in one corner. The waiter forgot our drinks as he was so busy answering the phone, and then he brought my boyfriend's over and I had to wait another 15 minutes for mine. The food, when it came, was excellent. We had a set meal with soup, duck pancakes and two main meat dishes with special fried rice and it was all very tasty. We had to wait a long time between courses, however, and when we ordered more drinks they were also forgotten until we had finished the meal. There was no music playing, the phone rang constantly, the one lady was yelling into the kitchen constantly, and another sat at the back table doing the accounts loudly and slamming down receipts and clacking on the calculator. The décor was very shabby and outdated. I felt rather bad for the one man who had to take care of everything himself, and was very forthcoming with apologies for the service. All in all, we had a rather lousy time here, even if the food was good, so I would recommend this place as a takeaway only. Or perhaps (as there are also very favourable reviews for this place) we came on a night they were short-staffed.

Went to china rose initially and having waited an hour and a quarter to have our order taken after booking a table we walked out and came here! Service and food all good no complaints, however I think the outside view and decor probably puts people off as we were only people in the resturant! Whilst there, phone did not stop rining for takeout which must be a good sign!! Definitely in need of decorating but can not fault the food!! Would defo recommend.

Don't let the external view put you off eating here. We had the set meal for two which was delicious and great value for money. The young man serving was friendly, polite and helpful. Highly recommended.

We popped into this small restaurant / takeaway to order take out. The building is very tired and in bad need of decoration however the food was very good. Would use again for take out only.

Can't fault the food at all but the premises are tired and dated. Use for the occasional take away and have always been well satisfied with the quality and service.

First of all we tried the Chinese takeaway 2 doors down and it was so bad that we felt cheated of our 1 night to have Chinese takeaway so a few days later we tried here. Ordered the exact same thing as the other place and It was infinitely better here! The chow mein was amazing, the satay sauce, perfect and the salt and pepper chicken was delicious. The only downside for us is that we were on holiday so it's a bit of a drive from Nottingham unfortunately :( haha.

Tried The golden Mill as we have a lodge on a nearby caravan park, What more can I say................Absolutely blown away with the quality of the food from this family run restaurant. We Called in, Placed our order and waited, The order phone was ringing none stop, The que for food was out the door. We had to wait 20 mins for our food, was it worth the wait, OMG yes. Best chinese we have had in 3 years. We have been twice now and its been amazing every time. Please be prepared to wait for your order as everything is cooked fresh. They do not do delivery, otherwise they would need 5 delivery drivers !!!. Call in the Bell hotel for a beer while you wait, The family spend all afternoon preparing the food so you know its fresh. Don't rely on my words, Go and try it out!!(but not too often as we will have to wait 25 mins LOL)

Collected a takeaway - King prawn fried rice, curry sauce chips, and salt & pepper spare ribs with curry sauce and chips. The chips were tasteless and like cardboard, the curry sauce had a weird, sweet aniseed taste, and the prawns were few and far between, AND tasteless. More expensive than wed normally pay, too. Won't be returning.

I've had many takeaways over many years (20+ years) from the Canton House, but recently the quality of food has left me disappointed and on one occasion was nearly inedible. Most recent experiences include..... [35] Spare Ribs in Black Bean Sauce: Only 5 overcooked (Black in places) ribs. Very poor meat content (All bones) with NO black bean sauce. The meat DID fall off the bone but too dry to chew. [92] Vegetable Curry with fried rice: Bright orange, salty, grainy, earthy and 5-spice flavoured runny curry soup with vegetables & chewy bamboo shoots. [37a] King Prawn with Green peppers & Black Bean Sauce: Only 8 or 9 King prawns, green and red peppers, carrots and onions in a cornflour rich & VERY VERY salty runny black bean sauce. [40a] Beef King Do: Very chewy beef with undercooked strips of onion, red & green peppers, carrots and PINEAPPLE CHUNKS??? in a VERY sweet red sauce. Not sure what it's supposed to be. . [14] Pancake Roll: Far TOO GREASY and soggy batter. Covered everything in the bag with oil. Nice crunchy beansprouts, but only 2 little prawns. Furthermore all the main dishes are served in smaller plastic containers (they used to be deeper). Attention to detail with flavour, consistency and food quality, I found lacking on occasions. On the plus side, the service has always been good though. COME ON CANTON HOUSE..... YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THIS.
