Tuk Tuk In in Stockton-on-Tees

By far the best Chinese buffet in the area all cooked to order. Served fantastic 100% would recommend. Definitely our go to.

Such a fall from grace. Was once a great Chinese, but has taken a nosedive in quality. The chilli and honey chicken I ordered was incredibly watery. Would slosh and run off the plate. Literally red water with some spice and not the thick sticky studd you would exoect. Barely any chicken - rammed full of veg and fruit to fill the watery container. Suspect the rice was microwaved. It was dry, thin ling grain and like sand - not fluffy and sticky like you'd expect if it was made in a rice cooker. I'm not sure if new owners, chefs, or cost of living hit them so hard they have to use the lowest quality ingredients now. Sort it our great wall. You're just "wall" now.

Always good food and helpful staff

We were really looking forward to trying this restaurant as we've heard such good things, and we were left incredibly disappointed, and hungry. We booked a table for 7pm with the expectation of being done by around 8:30 ready for a performance at the forum theatre at 9. We noticed that larger tables who had been seated after us were having their food orders taken before us, when our order was finally taken around 7:30, we were assured it was being placed to the front. We had ordered a set meal for 2, and the starter (basic, takeaway style chicken and sweetcorn soup) did not arrive until 8:10, we mentioned to the server that we were anxious of the time, and she assured us they were working as quickly as they could, and mentioned that there were other tables also heading to the same show. When the time got close to 8:30 we decided, reluctantly, to pay for what we had received, and left. Other tables in the same position were doing the same. The server was apologetic, and really I felt sorry for her, it obviously wasn't her fault. I'm disappointed to say the least, especially when walk-in orders for takeaway were being taken and passed out within half an hour. We definitely won't be returning.

Just had takeaway from happy valley. Chips were like cardboard absolutely crap. Chicken chow mein was ok no spice at all. Chicken curry was ok. Total dissapointment. Cant seem to find a decent chinese takeaway after dave retired from chung ying.
