Staff lovely curry worse than awful All I could taste was flour and gloop the sauce was thick but the any way near flavour was definitely missing. Don’t bother if you want a Chinese curry ☹️

Best chinese food in essex, my partner and I have tried a fair few Chinese takeaways and this one tops the list!!! Kim is great even time you go in, her partner cooks and is always spot on, ask for something added or a diffrent way he works his best to make it happen.

New customer following local recommendation. Very enjoyable takeaway, best value for money in area hands down.

Our local Chinese is consistently good, food is tasty and great value too as well as friendly staff.

If you want your meal on time do yourself a favour and go to Chinese cottage. The foods good but having to sit waiting for half an hour because " we forgot about your order" doesnt do it for me............

We visited twice in September 2018 - we were staying at a Cottage nearby. Went for a Chinese the first night we arrived as we were too tired to cook - very pleased with the quality of the food and the reasonable prices. So we went again in the week - £44 for 6 people, ample.

Food is always fresh, and hot, nothing is ever too much for them, they will go the extra mile to accommodate your needs. I would definitely recommend it.

Obviously my taste buds differ from the positive reviews!. Ordered two distinct Chinese dishes, both with different tastes, flavourings etc. Both came swimming in the same tasting sauce (although different colours), a huge amount of chunky undercooked vegetables, minimal meat and the side order of chips was very greasy. Positively the rice was fine, but then rice should be pretty easy to cook for a Chinese takeaway. Also cash only, so you have to get to the ATM across the road (if it's working) and you don't have enough cash on you. Don't fully understand why cash only?! Won't be going back and prefer to drive and collect from a better takeaway.

I live about 4 miles away. I have never had a bad meal from here the staff are always cheerful would recommend to everyone

Had takeaway just before Xmas was lovely set meal for 2 well worth every penny in fact it was £24.00 for both but had so much food so tasty couldn’t eat it all .

An extensive menu of takeaway items.Friendly service and at a very reasonable price. The fish and chips ,chineese and burgers are all good.

This has been our regular chinese takeaway for a long time and we have usually been very pleased with it, food is fresh and flavoursome

Really rather disappointed by the food- small containers of Chinese food, padded out with loads of vegetables, such as carrots, onions, etc. Taste was bland. Tried it twice but won't bother again. Ok if you aren't especially fussy about Chinese food or it being especially authentic "British Chinese"

To be honest, the place has very good quality ingredients that they put into their dishes. Everything tastes fresh, there are a lot of options, and they do an interesting combination of British and Chinese cuisines. The restaurant is family owned and operated. They are a strong team and very friendly. The restaurant enjoys frequent customers throughout their opening hours. I love Chinese food, this is my favorite Chinese takeout places in Essex.
