Trongs in Ipswich

18.10 wanted to order a take away. The gentleman said it was cash only. I said I call back. 5 minutes later I called back.. spoke to the same gentleman and wanted to place order and he very rudely told me they stop doing take away. That was in a space of 4 minutes

Absolutely the best Chinese I have ever eaten at. Staff are so pleasant and courteous.

Absolutely brilliant Chinese dine-in restaurant, the food is amazing, the staff are great and the prices are as you'd expect. Recommend to all ;-)

We had a lovely meal at Trongs not too long ago. The staff were very attentive and offered up advice on some of the dishes and what to try. Thoroughly recommended and we can’t wait to come back

Outstanding as usual - we keep coming back - food is by far the best Chinese we have had - we try different dishes and they are all amazing. The place is a little cramped but its and old building and if it was bigger it probably would not be so personal and good - the fact that it is very busy just shows what people think of it. Thanks

Very relaxed. Superb food and service.

The best Chinese restaurant around 1st class food and service highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Little bit cramped for space because it is so busy, popular and delicious

5/5 best Chinese restaurant in Ipswich by far!!!! From the rice to mains and sticky banana pudding is a fave ( with my colleague ☺️)

Absolutely fantastic! A bit skeptical ordering here because my family used to ordering Chinese takeaway in other Chinese restaurant, but yesterday they let me do the task of ordering food as we have guests coming in, upon reading good reviews from this restaurant, I thought I would give it go, I'm asian and I'm fussy about asian food. I called, the lady in the other end was really nice. Picked up the food, and was greeted with a nice welcoming vibe, restaurant was lovely and packed! Went home, had dinner and everybody agreed that it was way better than what we usually had in other Chinese takeaway. I don't usually leave comments but I thought, this is my way of thanking Trongs for giving me the closest best asian food I could get near me. Everything was simply divine, food wise, price wise and service wise. Planning to celebrate our special occasion in this restaurant. Will definitely our Chinese takeaway from now on. Highly recommended!!

Had a meal here for the first time for a family celebration, great choice on the menu we had a variety of dishes and they were all delicious, definitely did not disappoint. A great location too as not in the centre of town.Service and staff were excellent.

First time visiting trongs and they did not disappoint, excellent service and food was fantastic. Highly recommended and shall definitely be returning when I’m next visiting Ipswich.

Visit my daughter when she has her Pre registration course at Ipswich Town. Small Town, but it has everything that should be . I found a Michelin recommendation Chinese restaurant and had a great dinner with my daughter ❤️ 😋 . The price of the dishes cheaper than London as it is in a small town.

Wow, not been here for years as didn't think they did gluten free. Best meal I've had in a long time :-) recommend as 5*

Had a superb meal with excellent wine and fabulous service. I don’t think you can better it.

I've never tasted traditional Chinese food so excessively sweet. There is no balance of flavours. 75% of the dishes I ordered were sweeter than actual desserts. I can't understand how this place ranks so well. Never coming back again!

It’s been a while since I last ate here and I must confess I had forgotten how absolutely fabulous the food is. First rate service and Phuc is a wonderfully kind and endearing host. Highly recommended

Need to update opening hours. 2 nights on the trot, no signage saying why they are closed....AGAIN

A wonderful environment to enjoy fantastic cuisine served by very considerate and knowledgeable staff... But..... The mens washroom is very shabby in need of a face lift, very tired looking and not to functional.

Appalling, physically and verbally anbusive, aggressive staff. We had 24 guests and were treated so badly. The manager/ owner lost is self control over some party poppers, which he knew we had! He throw a massive tantrum after we had all paid! (£2500) screaming at guests pushing a friend of mine into a table, he kicked me, pushed me out the door. Utter madness! Never ever have I seen behaviour like this in a restaurant. Iv seen it at work as I’m a nurse. Clearly needs some mental health support. Save your hard earned money from somewhere else!

We had an excellent meal here tonight with impeccable service, even in spite of a large group who caused the owners a lot of hassle tonight. Could not recommend this place enough. Reasonably priced for a brilliant selection of food. Definitely will be coming back.

Lovely restaurant, even better food. Good service. Quite a small place, and gets busy, so probably best booking in advance. I believe they also do takeaway.

Really lovely Chinese food. It was super busy when we went pre football game which was great, but people with hearing difficulties may struggle. Super fast service, good portions.

We had take away tonight and it was very average and bland…. Disappointing. I couldn’t eat the spring roll as it was so tasteless. Is the take away food different to the restaurant as the restaurant seemed so popular?

Divine! Coeliac-friendly gluten-free food, which is so rare to find and so very welcome after 10 years without this kind of food! So good I'm going back twice in one month!

If you are in Ipswich and like Chinese food Trongs is a must Great food, nice surroundings and a really good choice of dishes The set menus are good and really well balanced

Anniversary dinner, great food and service good but evening spoiled when a group ( 90% of restaurant) arrived….so noisy…!maybe it’s an age thing !

Good food, great friendly and attentive staff, and food arrived quickly. We will be back soon!

Had a business meal here with a large group across 3 tables. They served each table individually which had plusses and minuses. We all ate at slightly different times, but I guess each table had the best experience possible with regard to food being hot etc. And the food was first class. I'd say the best chinese meal I've ever had.

Very busy inside,goes to show how popular it is,Food plentyful arrived quick.Staff so friendly,Our 1st visit & will return.

Myself and 4 friends went to Trongs yesterday evening after the football. We had the most fantastic dining experience. The staff were fantastic, the food was incredible!!! Will certainly be going back .....

Amazing food , went for veggie options requested spicy 🥵 And it was fantastic Thank you

Have eaten here many times, definitely the best Chinese we have ever been to, the food is excellent, service second to none and atmosphere great

Great venue, very quick service, you only get a couple of hours if you sit early (it's popular) we were a group of 7. 4 of us had set meal D the others ordered individually. We were all stuffed at the end. Great evening and just shy of £40 a head, including drinks. P.S The duck/pancake dish was superb.

Always a pleasure to see Fu and his team

mine and my boyfriends mouth was watering thinking about it 6 hrs after we ate it. it was the most beautiful thing i’ve ever eaten in my life. we have gamon in the oven and he is still talking about the chicken. We got up the road from trongs and have finished the whole tub

The best oriental food place in Ipswich by a Suffolk mile. Simply the best. The staff are wonderful, the food is great. What can I say.

Always amazing food, the crispy wontons & the lemon sole are incredible, the service is just as amazing to match it. Thank you!

Went for my boyfriend's birthday and it was everything and more! We went for set menu G at £32.50pp. After the appetisers and Mongolian lamb wraps, we were already quite full and so barely touched the mains, but they were more than happy to pack them up for us! We both then had the ice cream to finish on a lighter note. The quality of the food was outstanding, I would highly recommend anything that comes with the black bean sauce, but the thing that shocked us the most was how reasonably priced it all was! Will definitely be going back!

Trongs is my go-to for any takeaway or dine in chinese. I have always felt safe eating there with my coeliacs disease and the food is always delicious and well worth the money.

Not been for a while, but really pleased to say this is still one of - if not the best Chinese restaurant we have visited. The way you are treated by staff is a lesson for many other establishments and the food quality is second to none. Cant fault the place the people of the food. Thanks all for a great night.

A Chinese restaurant which can make a wide range of different dishes gluten free, and with awareness of cross contamination. A rare thing in the UK, super rare in East Anglia.

Good range of fish and of good quality both for starters and main. Clean tasting and really good noodles. Enjoyed a lovelly take away with good service there. Not so good service eating in as had dirty plates. Waiter was not keen to help.

Fabulous food and great service. My fav Chinese.

Great place to eat, staff brilliant.

Starters amazing, customer service was next level. I am sure the rest of the mains would of been out of this world however they messed up the main Cantonese Style Roast duck. It was my 40th bday and I wanted traditional Cantonese style roast duck on the bone. The duck was insanely dry and missing all flavour. They had really messed up the duck badly and to be fair it shouldn't of been added to the bill as it was a disastrous. However everything else was perfect.

Always made welcome, kind staff and having a personal touch. Food is fresh, tasty and delightful. Worth every penny!

Really cosy, much loved restaurant. I was being treated, and the food was tasty enough We had the Veggie set menu which gives you chance to try different food. Service was great. Not as manic as Mister Wings, and chopsticks here are a given (although you can ask for cutlery). All in all a lovely treat.

Lost count years ago of our unstinting 5 star comments NEVER VARIES Lawrence / Cherrill

A great meal, wonderful flavours in the lamb and lemon chicken , so light in texture best chinese ever!!

Early Friday evening this restaurant was buzzing. Soo pleased we booked. Attentive but not intrusive service. Excellent food. Wish we lived locally. Only one very small niggle as it was very busy the noise increased to a very high level was pleased to be seat on the edge of the main eating area.

Fantastic Chinese food. We have visited so many times and it’s superb every single time! Our favourite dishes are the fried salt and pepper squid and kung pao prawns, but everything is amazing!

Absolutely delicious with great service, succulent black beef and delicious sole very reasonable price 5th visit when on business wish they were in kent!

Simply fantastic, have been several times and it’s the best Chinese food I’ve ever had, excellent menu, with an added bonus that the food does not leave you feeling sickly after - wonderful! Service is second to none, so attentive and always topping up your water. You truly feel like a valued customer. The only Chinese we would eat at in Ipswich. Thank you Trongs!

We went here on Thursday night after finding it on line with good recommendations . It did not disappoint it was fabulous . The staff were very attentive , we didn’t wait long for the food to arrive . We do go to a lot of Chinese restaurants as this is the food we love and this was probably the best Chinese we have ever had . 👍🏻

Where can i find menu proces ple3?

Amazing restaurant, very helpful staff! If you like Asian food this is a definite recommendation!

Family run Chinese food with a twist. Quality at every turn

We took friends to our favourite Chinese. It was as good as always. Fabulous food & service. It seems a family run restaurant with a lot of regular customers.

Last night was our first visit to Trongs to celebrate Hubby's birthday and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening. Freshly cooked food served in a lovely restaurant and excellent service by the friendly, welcoming staff. No wonder it was busy for a Monday evening. We will definitely be back!

Third time visiting this fabulous restaurant, never dissapoints, the food is always freshly cooked and hot, the presentation is excellent, the staff are always so helpful and very friendly. I would recomend this littlr gem to anyone

I hate Chinese restuarants, I am always dissapointed. I had my best chinese ever back in 2006 at this place "Trongs" I was invited by a local fertiliser componay and they really looked after us. The meal was fabulous. I have tried to book into this restaurant a few times over the years when we have been near Ipswitch, but always failed because you need to book ahead. Anyway I was in luck last week I rang up and Trong said that they would have rooom as a party had postponed. Alsalutely fabulous food, huge starters and four fabulous main course dishes, we could not finish it, but it was so good. The House Sauvingon Blanc is also fabulous. Thank you Trong for the great service from you an your staff. I've been telling people about our great experience. So I do like Chinese food again now.

I've eaten at trongs a few times, the food is perfect every single time. The service was spot on too

Amazing food , service unreal ,could not fault in any way

Was packed but fit us in, food was amazing and so was the price

Always an amazing experience eating here. The food, wine, and service is always top-notch.

Great food...Great staff...my favorite place in Ipswich to eat out x

We went on a weeknight and were a little apprehensive because of some reviews saying that it wasn't as good as before, but we found it be just as good as ever. The service was excellent and the food was very good (set menus). Some of the sauces and the seaweed are a bit too sweet but lots of others are superb (Tao pan chicken and bean curd in black bean sauce in particular)

Excellent as ever. Often visit. Always good.

Amazing food, asked for a selection for all of us and it was outstanding, thank you

I came to Trongs restaurant on 12th May 2023 at 7pm, It wasn't very busy like it used to be. Not quite sure if they have changed hands or have a new chef as the Kung po and Sweet and sour was too sweet & the meat seemed like not fresh and yesterdays. After spending £180 on our bill for 4 people i don't think i will be back very soon! I don't normally make complains but it wasn't what i expected!

This was our first visit and was for our 43rd wedding anniversary, It was the best chinese meal we have had for 30 years, the food and sevice were second to none. We will be back.

A wonderful birthday meal with fantastic service! Yet again, Trongs surpasses any other restaurant in Ipswich.

Excellent quality of produce and taste . Very attentive by all staff. Comfortable space and room on the table for table of four . Had takeaways in the past but it is my first time back eating out there and it was first class

Absolutely brilliant best chinese ive had for a very long time! Delicious prawns great service came back again the next night it was so good highly recommend handy car park right outside as well!

Good food. I definitely will recommend this place. Staff are very polite and friendly.

Great food, busy atmosphere, friendly service,

We had the chef’s special menu - a spree of surprises - it turned out to be lots of classics covered in thick E-sauces. Shame about the duck, pancakes were cold and prep looked painful. We had two waitresses - one delightful and one who could not master a smile all meal. Sadly she put a real damper to an evening that we found very underwhelming. Will not be coming back.

Best restaurant in Ipswich by far. Keeps you coming back> I can't stay away from the place. Quality food and service!!!

Incredible service and food as always! Highly recommended as always!

Absolutely fabulous food and service second to none. Loved it.

The food here is just amazing!! We enjoyed a lovely evening tonight at Trongs. Service was perfect, food was delicious as always. Thank you!

My daughter and two granddaughters were visiting and I decided to give Trongs a try. The restaurant is quite small. The wait staff are totally unobtrusive. Everything is done quietly and efficiently. Now to the food. We thought it was fabulous. There are a number of set meals starting at around £29 per head. We had several starters, and main dishes plus dessert. Well worth a visit. My girls are still talking about it.

This has been one of my favourite restaurants for years. The quality is exceptional and it is consistently excellent. This latest visit was no exception. The staff are welcoming and engaging. The food is always quick to arrive, no matter what you choose from their extensive menu. I can highly recommend.

Last visited in September and was hoping to visit again before now but wow, food was equally amazing and staff were just fabulous. Such a warm welcome and definitely our favourite Chinese restaurant. If you have not visited before I’d definitely recommend.

Deffinatlt will be going again 100%

Not that warm a welcome really as they seemed like they were expecting a busy night so they we’re in work mode! One exception was a lovely waitress who smiled a lot. Food was average except for the delicious toffee apple with sesame which was highlight of meal yum Too much MSG was used in veggie soup which was thick and tasteless My sizzling fish dish was certainly sizzling but it was a gooey mess of MSG covered prawns & squid - thank goodness I ordered the ginger & spring onion to help the flavour along. Stir fried beef with satay sauce was stir boiled beef!! Overall average food - disappointing overall!

Yesterday was my second visit to Trong's. Though I turned up rather spontaneously and didn't have a dinner reservation, I was given a time that a table would be ready. Upon returning, a table was swiftly granted served with water immediately. I rarely visit the same restaurant twice. The setting and the staff are so welcoming, it made me want to return. I tried the Vietnamese Spring Rolls (fried) and the taste was far beyond my expectations. I truly recommend these: The spring roll melts in the mouth on bite and taste oozes from every bite thereafter. They were so good I tried to ask for the secret from the man I believe to be the manager/owner. He revealed the story of the delicacy... it was his mother's recipe, it was a satisfying to hear such an honest answer with so much history. During my stay in Ipswich and visiting multiple restaurants - Trong's provide the best quantity and quality for the price you are paying. The family nature of the staff truly makes this a comforting experience serving comfort food whilst I am far from home.

Great service, very friendly and helpful. Food was excellent.

Have had take away from here before which has always been amazing! Last night we went for dinner to celebrate an engagement & 10yr anniversary, there was 13 of us in total. Absolutely incredible! Family run business- you can tell they take pride and joy in looking after their customers and making sure you have a pleasant experience. Cannot fault anything. We had the chefs choice which included gorgeous starters, mains and dessert. I am allergic to shellfish so couldnt have the spring rolls, Lucy brought me some vegetable spring rolls out instead so I didnt feel I was missing out. They are constantly filling your glass up, which was another lovely touch... dont think I poured myself a glass of wine at all. Even with a full restaurant you always feel your a priority. Honestly amazing and already planning a return... well done Trongs!! Also what's nice about the takeaway service is if they are busy (which they usually are!!! So make sure you book early) they won't take any more orders as they pride themselves on good food and don't want to risk it being of poor standard because they are busy.... says a lot to me!! 100% you've got to dine in and experience this gorgeous restaurant!!

The Best Chinese I’ve had in years……absolutely unbelievable……We can’t wait to visit again…….Great service! Fresh food! Very Reasonable Prices! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Not quite sure why people rave about this place. Expensive, below average food. There’s a lot better and cheaper alternatives around town.

Amazing food and good vegan options. The sweet and sour tofu is delicious it is far nicer than any standard chinese take away.

Very good friendly service in a nicely presented restaurant. Very tasty mixed starter, good selection of wine.

Just been for a lovely meal here. We stopped off on our way home and were not disappointed. Staff are lovely and service was great. Food tasted fantastic, it’s been a long time since I’ve eaten at a decent Chinese restaurant. Will definitely visit here...

3 coeliacs and a vegetarian and we left it to Foo to sort the dishes. Which he did perfectly. Couldn’t recommend more highly. Thank you

Long time since we visited this lovely restaurant, so we were looking forward to going back, and we weren’t disappointed. Very busy on a Thursday evening but service was quick and our food delivery was quick. Always love the aromatic crispy duck to start. Followed...

Visited Trongs and wow, what an amazing evening. The staff were so friendly and welcoming and Rachael was so helpful letting me know about vegetarian options. I am normally very wary eating Chinese food as I know a lot is classed as vegetarian but still...

Well unfortunately on this occasion we both was very seriously sick after visit on a Monday night 26 September, we was up all night being sick and feeling seriously bad, I have never had a bad experience here ever, I do not know why on this occasion, I have been for over 30 years to this fantastic restaurant, never had any issues, we had pork beef and chicken , was super sweet and all tasted similar, schezwan beef is normally quite spicy, but not like it normally is this time , a real shame for me to have to report this, the owner was his usual fantastic self super lovely self, cau I think he’s name ,I never remember names much. I hope this is just a one off experience
