Waterside Cafe and Bar in Braintree

Big portions and great service from the two ladies. Really good value for money and the best quality Chinese in the area in my opinion.

Second visit here for lunch,very pleasant and welcoming upon arrival,choice of seating which was nice as we enjoy comfortable booth seating,service was spot on and timely,and food was hot and fresh,had garlic bread with caramelised onion and cheese and calamari for starter followed by Bolognese with beef Ragu and ribeye steak and fries with garlic butter,for me beef Ragu was tasty but tasted too strong of celery and veg and not enough wine and beef stock flavour, desserts although not homemade were very good,lemon custard tart was yummy and sticky toffee pudding was satisfying with good custard,overall lovely lunch ,service was great, well worth another visit

Disappointing. This place used to be so much better. Cold food and chow mein was quite bland. Ridiculously small portion of crispy seaweed was also cold, tasteless and a complete waste of money. Shame as this takeaway is local to us but will definitely not be going back.

Paid £49 for the smallest portions you’ve ever seen wouldnt get a takeaway from this place again if you were paying! Honestly who do they think they are??? Attaching photographs so you can see how ridiculous barely any meat just sauce what absolute scumbags!

Covid safe and clean. Was a pleasant day so could sit on their outside patio area. Had a bacon sandwich, friends had cake. Bread was dry and I wish places would use proper butter, not some spread. Even with bacon you could still taste it... Service very friendly and pleasant.
