Viva Garden in South Ayrshire

Hate leaving bad reviews but I still feel absolutely robbed. Sat in and had chicken with black bean sauce and it was tasteless. Dry chicken and no black bean in sight. Just a watery sauce. What left a bitter taste in my mouth though was the bill. £15.50 for the meal and another £3.50 for microwaved clumpy boiled rice. The young girl that served us was really nice on a positive note but that was it.

Went to wetherspoons in ayr it was packed so decided to give it a miss was walking back to van and was passing and it was almost empty upon arrival we where met by a member of staff who seated us straight away menus where quickly given and drink orders taken we opted for the Pre theatre menu soup and main meal plus salt and pepper ribs it all arrived hot and well presented it started to get busier and the take away side was busy as well as there driver restaurant was spotless and all staff where friendly the food was amazing

Great food, carry outs always good.

Had chicken balls and chips which were terrible were like rubber was not nice meal at all

The Chicken curry fried rice was absolutely excellent. The curry is exeptional, good amount of chicken, and the chips stay soft for longer. Much much better than anyplace else ive tried. Highly recommended,, by a fussy eater.

Best Chinese in ayr , just my opinion 😋 great service

Happy New Year to all at Viva Garden you were fantastic for our Hogmanay dinner... absolutely love you guys... food was the best yet again. ❤️X Still in love ❤️ Still the best. ❤️

Reviews need to be deadly honest to get business to realise the room for improvement and this is one of them it’s a Chinese takeaway with a restaurant attached so came in and tried this place was seated and straight away I was already thinking about leaving and going elsewhere when I saw the menu I was hoping it wouldn’t be bad but the food came out within under 6 minutes or possibly around 10 minutes give or take already a cause for concern the food came out and I was shocked the cost for two people was £40 for two mains a side and drinks £40 and the food portions were a joke I’m going to be brutally honest this place is a joke you’d get more from your local Chinese in Ayr for what you did in the so called restaurant which itself was cramped ok decor a weeks gone by since being here and I still feel like I was robbed

Best Chinese about it's a 5 stars from us

Update to the last time I had only quickly visit but a place I wanted to go to, i had my favourite soup which was delicious. I returned tried the seafood sellection crab and sweetcorn soup and squid in sweet chill with egg fried rice. It hit the my taste pallette very nicely. Its a nice little restaurant friendly front of house ladies.

It was a while ago but have been raving how loveĺy the food and staff xxx

I hate leaving bad reviews but I feel the need to. After more than 1 bad experience now. I ordered a delivery, food was here in 20 minutes but drinks were missing. I called back and explain the situation, the reply back was the driver hadn’t left yet. I was not understood. No apology. I was then told my drinks would be sent out. This took half an hour. I tried the salt and chilli satay skewers for the first time, nice flavour but I found them chewy. Very disappointing for the price. Another time I placed an order for delivery I waited hours and called back. They said they didn’t have my order and accused me of calling the wrong shop. Eventually they realised that I had indeed called and my order was “lost”. I gave them another chance because I do enjoy the food but unfortunately this will be my last. I have also sat in the restaurant for a meal. Our waitress was very loud and eccentric. Being inquisitive asking why I had only ate a certain amount also asking why our table booked for 3 only had 2. We explained this at the desk on arrival. No communication between staff. I witnessed a lot of mistakes at different tables too. My family member ordered a combination curry. I think this was around £12 and we were surprised when this came with no rice. The menu did not state you had to order separate nor did the waitress.

Great place for sit in or takeaway . Best Chinese in Prestwick .

£27 for King Prawn curry, noodles & chicken balls, waste of money, complained and no reply, that's me bye with this lot

I came for Chicken & Cashew nuts, and a flavorless bowl of lumpy goop came out… the rest of the family loved theirs though, Teriyaki Filet of Beef, Chicken Fried Rice, Prawn Pad Thai and another one I don’t remember. I would try this again, I think I might have just been unlucky…

Good quality food, tasty, not oily. Nice, Family run place. Pre-theatre menu good choice and value. A la carte is expensive. Small drink selection. Very good service by the younger members of the family, respectful, helpful and well mannered.

Food took 2 hours to come when was told between 45minutes to 1 hour . Was delivered 2 hours later 😠. Food wad not impressive dry noodles and was cold 🤨. Would Definitely not recommend and won't be ordering from them again 😔

brilliant experience, lovely staff and great atmosphere x

I love the Chinese restaurant! The food is delicious and the service is great. The atmosphere is cozy and intimate, perfect for a date night or a family dinner. I highly recommend the dumplings and the Kung Pao chicken. The prices are reasonable and the portions are generous. The staff is friendly and attentive. Overall, a fantastic dining experience that I will definitely be returning to.

Absolutely the best chinese around, the Satay sauce is perfect, Unlike any others.

Worst quality ever had usually great but not impressed was going to return

Rude staff, do not listen to customers, was laughed at when queried bill...will not be giving them my money again

Our go to Chinese restaurant though always takeaway. Fantastic as usual and lovely staff as well.

Favourite Restaurant for Dining in or Takeaway.

Lovely meal great service thanks

Love the food, always a nice welcome. But what's with the paper flowers on the ceiling?? Fire hazard!

What a lovely restaurant. Staff couldn't do enough. Very satisfying to have such a wonderful place to go to that won't break the bank.

Lovely takeaway meal and very friendly staff, the restaurant was full so this speaks volumes Very nice👌🏾

Rude service and slow. No apologies. Food not worth waiting for. Not any different to your local Chinese

Great sauces, food tastes great, reasonably priced.

Just ordered from here,they forgot my drink and said it would be at least an hour before delivery,I said the delivery driver just left send him to the shop,the owner bumping there gums in background,so if it had been chips for main meal would it have been the same outcome probably,utterly appalling customer service,and very small portions for the price we paid,it’s simple they lost our custom over a simple can of coke

Horrible food!Cotted in stuff, prawns not succulent and my partner didn't touch his food,waste of money and would like a refund.Beging Palace is so much better

Tremendous place. Had a great Chinese in here. Pre-theatre minutes is perfect for sitting in. Took a menu away so I can get takeout in future

Nice meal good service albeit got wrong main course but that was quickly rectified.

Delish food and great service..highly recommend!

Got carry out, fantastic meal phoned order in and got phone call back to say it was ready before original time was given brilliant service. Went for sit in meal absolutely brilliant staff more than 1st class very friendly and nothing was a problem to them

In the area for a wee holiday. Seen this place had good reviews so had to nip in. Absolutely amazing was impressed by the started just knew the main meal was going to be good and wasnt dissapointed customer service was 2nd to none perfect wee place

Food was ok, my partner said, but service good

A great chinese restaurant, food is fabulous, reasonable prices and place is spotless. Staff were lovely and chatty, great welcome when we arrived. See you ne time.

Came with friends for dinner as have had carry out before and enjoyed it very much but this was amazing! We had the starter for two which was a fantastic selection AND loads to eat then we all had different mains. Personally my satay chicken was the best I have had in a very long time and everyone enjoyed their choices too!!

Nice little Chinese restaurant, very tasty food well worth a visit. 👍👍

First time trying here. Staff were friendly and both dishes we had were very tasty. A new favourite !

Very tasty and excellent service

I had Cantonese sweet and sour chicken and rice, it was amazing, my husband had ribs which were also amazing but he also had fillet fillet steak with black pepper sauce but fillet was very tough.

Professional Friendly Service, picked up at agreed time slot and food was all present and correct. Only thing was chips was a bit of a let down but was very minor. Been a few times now and loved it

Excellent service,lovely meal, reasonably priced

Just had a takeaway.chips were disgusting,definitely re heats and tasteless,I won’t be revisiting,I used to enjoy this restaurant too.

First time there for a last minute sit down meal, Absolutely fabulous food and the staff were lovely, even though it was extremely busy, everything was great, would definitely be back!

Delivery never came after two hour wait

Good food normally but when they get busy their standards slip with long waiting times and food served not to their normal standards.

Really great food! A wee bit expensive but worth it

Another great meal and excellent service. Never disappointed. Well worth a visit.

Great food and everyone that works there are very friendly

Lovely food and wonderful staff

Highly recommended. Food was lovely, great service and good value. Nothing too much trouble and friendly staff. Thanks

Foods beautiful, service great wat more can u ask for 10 out of 10

This Chinese restaurant have the best food I ever try. Each dish had they unique flavours. And the attention was great definaly is a good place where to go for a family meal.

Good quality Chinese and Thai dishes. A tad expensive but you get good portions

Decent food but how can it take an hour and three quarters to deliver an order half a mile ?

Love the food here. Very tasty and not over priced for the taste and how much they give you. Really nice place to take your partner or for a date.

Always s great meal and bonus lasts us 2 days

One of the best in Ayrshire, special fried rice is perfect.

Excellent meal served by excellent staff. Very reasonable prices. Highly recommended. 🙂

First time having a takeaway from here , food was excellent chicken satay was superb as was the salt and chili chicken will definitely be back

My first time and have to say it would not be my last. Great food also good size portions. Very friendly and attentive staff.

Got a takeaway from Viva Garden last night. Great delivery service to Troon. Food was fantastic. Piping hot. Lovely staff on the phone too. Thank you so much.

Rice portion at £2.40 is tiny! They charged us for chips but didn't deliver them. We phoned back and told them, so they sent another portion of chips over an hour later. Would expect to get a small conciliation for this, but nothing offered, no apology either. Pork dumplings are superb, but everything is overpriced for what you get!

Best Chinese in ayrshire and great staff

The staff handled a large order excellently and when they accidentally double charged me, they were super helpful about returning my money. Food was excellent too.

One of my favourites in prestwick, only ever had takeaway but always been delicious 😋...even after quite a few miles for delivery everything is still fresh, deffo worth a try and the owners see lovley, same with the delivery driver 😀

Great food and service . Well worth trying. Chicken satay lovely

Outstanding food. Will not dissapoint. Won't be going anywhere else from now on for Chinese food.

Food is nice a prefer Indian but if going for a change this is nice

Cash only, no social distancing, food is good.

Beautiful meal, as always. Friendly staff, always made welcome

Love this take away, owner always very pleasant and food very tasty!

Love this restaurant, food is brilliant, staff really friendly, and owner always comes for a quick chat,highly recommend for a night out

This was my 1st dining out since lockdown. Staff were very attentive, tables are well spaced to socially distance and the food was delicious

Best Chinese in prestwick and amazing price and portions side 👌

Lovely place . Food delicious, excellent service staff very friendly highly recommend

Always good food. Reasonably priced.

Always lovely fresh food and friendly staff

This has to be the best Chinese I've tasted in Ayrshire. It was very authentic & lovely fresh flavours. Jo Jo was a nice, friendly lady, made you feel very welcome. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Lockdown and we got a delivery of a fantastic meal. To top it I got a gluten free chicken and mushroom which is a real treat for me as I can never get gluten free. Hubby loved his ribs and beef and cashew. All delicious and lovely and hot. Well done viva garden

Great service, delivered by time they said. Food was amazing & still warm! Will definitely be ordering again.

Very welcoming, food is at an excellent standard

What a lovely place, went on Valentine's day with my husband and son on the way home after a long journey. Was great to be able to get tofu dishes as they're not easy to find around here and the food was tasty. Absolutely lovely staff, very friendly and helpful.

Wrong order. Lukewarm food. Spongy like half cooked chicken. Terrible chips and watery sauce. Worst Chinese I've ever had. Disgraceful.

Best food around and great value pre theatre menu . Blows the competition in the area out the water.

Love Viva Garden, food fantastic and staff are so helpful and friendly would highly recommend.

First time visitors after reading reviews on Tripadvisor.

Quickly delivered, good proportions and great taste! Only issue (if any) is that the food could of came slightly warmer, however, stay great, stay humble.

Pleasant staff, lovely restaurant and great food.

Visited Viva Garden last night with friends. Had never been in before but knew it was there, it came out as no 2 restaurant in Prestwick in Trip Advisor so we booked. What a delicious meal the 4 of us had, from starters of vegetable spring rolls, aromatic duck pancakes and chilli prawns. Mains were chicken curry, Thai green curry, honey chilli chicken and wok satay with beef and chicken. The portions were big and everything was piping hot and cooked to perfection with the beef and chicken melting in your mouth. No bland food here, your tastebuds will explode with happiness at Viva Garden. The service was brilliant too with lots of attention to detail. We have all walked passed this restaurant hundreds of times, so don’t walk past, go in and give your tastebuds a treat.

We were in Prestwick late afternoon and we were looking for somewhere to eat. We pretty much chose this place at random. What a great surprise!

We had a pre Christmas family gathering on the 21st of December. There were 14 of us plus kids. Decided to have a carry out. I placed the order in the morning to be delivered approx 5pm in the evening. Food was delivered on time, was piping hot and excellent. Well done to all involved. We were very impressed and will be using again. Thanks!

We had a Chinese take-away last night from Viva Garden and once again the food was fabulous, massive portions and we struggled to get through them. They provided a first class delivery service and the food was piping hot. The price was very reasonable, we will definitely order from them again in the future. Well done to all concerned.

This is a fantastic chinese restaurant excellent service food great

This was our second visit to Viva Garden. We can thoroughly recommend the mixed starter to share, consisting of prawn toast, ribs, spring rolls and chicken wings. It's served with satay sauce and sweet chilli sauce. The prawn toast is the best ever and I don't know what they put around their chicken wings, but they put KFC to shame!

New favourite restaurant, delicious Chinese and Thai food in a lovely setting. You can sit in or takeaway as they deliver. ordered from the Tapas Menu to sample everything. favourites are salt & chilli prawns, shredded crispy beef, Thai spring rolls and the noodles and spicy chips are my favourite sides. They also do nice Thai options like red Thai curry etc which is also delicious. Everything we've ordered has been fantastic. Lovely decor, friendly staff and large menu to choose from with generous portion sizes. 100% recommend giving Viva Garden a try if you haven't been yet! X
