Absolutely terrible. Honestly don’t have the enough words to describe how dire this was. Ordered a takeaway via U for the family. Several dishes missing and rest was poor with very low quality meat / prawns and very few of them. Called up to complain about the missing dishes and had the lady who answered call me a liar then literally laugh at me and tell me tough. Worst experience in years. I have submitted a complaint with U and told them frankly if the bill isn’t fully refunded I’ll be deleting their app. Also have a very large family in the local area and have advised them all of the service and we have unanimously blacklisted them. What more can I say. Worst food in years, worst service in decades and now several locals will never use them again. Disgusting in every sense of the word.

We visited on a Saturday evening, I phoned and booked a table for two a couple of hours beforehand, good we did as the restaurant was very busy. The staff were very prompt but not pushy, they were obviously working on two sittings system, nothing wrong with that it seemed to work well. We had a quarter of aromatic duck to start, and four main dishes, the food was very good, served hot and plentiful.. I even took a doggie bag home. Only complaint I have was the price of the wine, we like a Rosè with Chinese food, we had a choice of two, a Zinfandel at £21.00 or a bog standard French at £26.00. Well over priced in my opinion, apart from that, we really enjoyed our visit, the food and service was very good.

Having not been to this restaurant for a few years and remembering many visits over the years I was looking forward to visiting with my family. This used to be an absolutely excellent restautant but this is sadly no longer the case. From reading here I now see that it changed hands a few years ago and the family that had this restaurant for many many years took a well deserved retirement. Unfortunately, it really has gone down hill. The service is not at all friendly and is incredibly slow. The restaurant lacks any kind of ambience and it is now like sitting in a plain box of a room. The food was quite bland, the soups were ok, as was the duck but everything else was lacking in flavour and presentation was unappetising. Soft shell crab is usually my favourite dish but for me it had a really unpleasant taste this time. When it came to brushing any crumbs from the table between courses they brushed them into a bowl that already had crumbs in from other tables - come on at least empty the bowl between visiting different tables! On the whole the restaurant just had an unclean feel. They were slow to clean empty glasses from the table and just not on the ball service wise overall. On a side note - they desperately need lazy susan's for their big round tables to make dishing up and sharing food easier. It was a really disappointing visit as I was really hoping my nostaligic memories of many visits while growing up would be maintained! I won't be in any hurry to return there are much better restaurants to spend you money in.

This food is spectacular, we have struggled to find a nice Chinese takeaway for such a long time! When I first arrived to collect my food, I was stunned at the beautiful restaurant too. Food tastes fresh unlike any other Chinese I’ve had. It’s a shame they don’t deliver to my house as it’s too far but it’s definitely worth the 15 minute drive for this good food! Staff are very friendly too :)

We have been a regular here for a few years, dining in as a group we have always had good food, even if a little pricey. The last two takeaways - Jan/Feb 23 have been really disappointing, Singapore Rice Noodles were charred on one occasion and when they were not, they were bland. It’s a shame as we rate this venue.. definitely good for a meal in, not so for takeaway.

Pre booked a few hours previous to going. The restaurant is on the high street. On arrival, We were sat in the main walk way of the restaurant, but asked to be moved as I didn’t want staff constantly walking past. We ordered the vegetarian mixed starter the green beans were delicious. The restaurant was very busy at 8 o’clock For main we had 4 dishes to share ( 2 of us) and it was plenty. The boch Choi I ordered in garlic was a bit disappointing as I’m sure there was no garlic just oyster sauce. The place is spotlessly clean. The staff wore masks too. Who were all very friendly. A Chineese restaurant I recommend you try.

I picked the Welcome Inn for a meal before visiting the Queens Theatre Hornchurch and it didn't disappoint. The food was excellent, good portions, nice flavours and great value for money. I also felt the service was very good as well, we were running a bit late and they turned the dishes around quick even though it was full in there, this meant we got to the theatre in good time. I would definitely recommend and will be going back again.

When my daughter booked this they asked if it was an occasion and she said it was for her birthday. When we arrived they had put a 'happy birthday' banner on the wall by our table! What a lovely thing to do. When ordering we explained my husband has a fish and seafood allergy. The waitress could not be more helpful informing my husband which dishes he was unable to have. Which was a big improvement on other chinese restaurants we have been to where they would only allow my husband to eat vegetable dishes. We ate a mixture of hors d'oeuvres crispy duck, chicken lettuce wraps, salt and spicy chicken which were all extremely tasteful and plentiful. Then we had soups, I had chicken and sweetcorn which was delicious. Then we had a mixture of egg fried rice, kung po chicken, triple pork, beef in black bean and chicken with cashew nuts. Again all very tasty. We were too full up for dessert but next thing the waiter appears singing 'happy birthday' with a candle in a chocolate cake, which was scrumptious. The waiter then took a photo of us with his phone and gave my daughter a printed copy and whatsapped the three photos he had take to her!!!! My daughter was so happy as they had given her a wonderful birthday meal. As if that was not enough the waiter asked if we would all like a drink on the house for her birthday. So we finished a perfect evening with a bailey's. Thank you so much Welcome Inn!!!!!!

It's a while since we visited and I think ownership has changed. Not quite so busy as it used to be on a saturday night, but we felt that the food was of the same high quality. Personally, I wouldn't eat at any other Chinese restaurant in the area - it's always good. We had duck with pancake roles to start and three dishes to share and all were freshly cooked with good flavour. Served with a smile!

We have been to this restaurant on numerous occasions and always enjoyed the food and the staff have been very good, unfortunately, this time was a bad experience. We had our starters, tasty as usual, but that’s when it changed. The main courses arrived and as you do, we all stuck in. I was about to eat some of the sweet & sour dish, and found a screw in my dinner, all be it, a gold one! We told one waitress, who did apologise and said she would get us another one. Then another waitress came up with the dish and again apologised, but said “these things happen”! We then decided that we no longer wanted to eat there and said we would pay for our drinks and would be leaving. Her face and attitude towards us was appalling, then said that the whole meal, which we had, mixed starters, duck and drinks were on the house. As we were walking out, she smiled, clapped and said “you got a free meal, well done”! We was willing to pay for the drinks and was not looking or free drinks, but the gesture was appreciated, but unfortunately she spoilt the whole thing. This restaurant has been one of our favourites, but unfortunately will not be going back. The staff need to change.

We have been enjoying the Welcome Inn for 25 years. It has long been our favourite Chinese. The new owners were friendly, the atmosphere good and the service excellent. The food is not the same, some dishes better others not so good. We shall try it a few more times as it’s early days with the new owners. If I was a first time diner and not a long standing customer I would say do try this restaurant, the food is great. We had the set dinners with a few changes and we certainly had generous portions.

This is by far my FAVOURITE Chinese Restaurant- this delightful clean “Family owned” restaurant is staffed by the Family who have ran the business literally for generations. personally I’ve been coming here for 20 plus years as an Adult and 22 more with my parents so 42 years for me, the food is always freshly cooked, delightfully flavoured, and ythoroughly en joyed, there is a vast menu if you take your time to peruse the menu you will see what a vast choice you have - they do have Set menu’s - at a set price, but enjoy my own choices - the Scallops are to die for. I recommend you book a table as this is a very popular Restaurant with the best Sezchen dishes. You will always have a warm greeting, great efficient table service - the family that own and run this delightful restaurant, go above and beyond great friendly service, great for a romantic meal for two, a Birthday and caters for any group size, they do ‘Take Aways too’ but then you will miss the lovely staff and ambience of this delightful restaurant.

I have been coming to The Welcome Inn since I was a child with my parents, now in my fifties my husband and I are regular visitors to this fabulous restaurant along with our family. A small intimate restaurant with Mrs Poon and her family running the business. Attentive friendly staff who really do get to know their customers. They come and have a chat but are not intrusive. The food is amazing and we always go for set menu B. I know that sounds boring but we have tried lots on the menu over the years but that is our favourite. We don’t even have to order now as Ga, just knows what we want - it’s wonderful. Cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough. At the end of the meal you get gummy bears (the little chewy teddy bears with a chocolate mint) which is lovely.

We finally ordered we waited no time at all. Food was delicious.. adding more dishes during our meal. Great service. Exceptional food!

Been going here for years, and like many chinese restaurants are probably stuck a little in the past regards to their food choices and style. One only has to go to London to see the vast difference, yet we are only an hour away from some amazing chinese restaurants.However this is our local, and locals become favourites for family. We know what we want to order its the same mostly every time, and they really give us what we expect. The service is always excellent, and these are genuinely nice owners here. Try the prawn noodles and the aromatic duck . Always a winner. Reasonable prices.Fab

Went to the restaurant before going to the theatre with family food came which was not good the chowmein was almost inedible the mixed meat curry was tasteless and the special fried rice was not very special. but the service was good. We all got a big shock when the bill came, this place is way too expensive for the quality of the food, there are much better restaurants in Hornchurch and cheaper avoid this place if you don't want to be ripped off and disappointed with the food.

Sat in the restaurant with three others. Ordered one small beer. This was served along with a dish containing about SIX prawn crackers. We then studied the menu and realised that everything was really expensive. We decided to leave but offered to pay for the beer. Up comes the bill.... the small beer was £4 and the VERY SMALL dish of prawn crackers were priced at £2.40!! We paid and left with the opinion that we would not be frequenting there again.

The food and the atmosphere in here was like lovely. Was saying we will come back here.Just one problem when asking for the bill it came with added drinks we had not had. I E one extra pint of larger two glasses of wine and an extra soft drink. This meant we was over charged £25 which we found an absolute disgrace. If you go here remember to check you bills as they add on drinks which you don't have.We won't be returning here and will always check our bills.

We used to come here a lot and everything was always excellent. Circumstances meant that we couldn't come for a while so when we went back recently we were a bit worried whether it would be as good as before. It wasn't, it was even better! Food still great, friendly staff and very good value for money - we'll definitely be back.

We usually order take out from this restaurant. Order placed over the phone and we go to collect. The restaurant is always busy inside and the atmosphere seems nice. The food is lovely however it is a bit pricey compared to other local Chinese places.

We come here for family birthdays and special occasions and the team never disappoint. The food is delicious with generous portions: we usually order one of the set menus: great duck and mixed starters. The service couldn't be more pleasant. They always do something special for a birthday: a cake, some birthday drinks, a photo of the family they print out and present to us. Really, the hospitality is great. Best Chinese in the area: a family run restaurant at its best.

Arrived in a Wednesday about 8.15pm and had a warm welcome for our first ever visit!Staff (Gar) could not have been more attentive without being intrusive! We asked for a number of dishes that were versions of the menu and they accommodated every one of them to perfection!Thoroughly recommend this place and reasonably priced also!Try it Guys!

If you are ever find yourself in Hornchurch and want a decent Chinese, look no further. My local town has about a dozen Chinese, Thai and Vietnamese restaurants but I keep heading for the Welcome Inn, time and time again.It might be that I have a tried and tested food order that rarely disappoints. It is..Hot and Sour SoupSalt and Chili SquidDeep fried double cooked pork bellySingapore noodlesShrimp curryBeef in Oyster sauce.SimpleWorks every time.Service always with a smile and a comp night cap to see you on the way with a smile.

My partner and I ate here recently. The menu was very good and varied.Our only downside was the fact that we weren't provided with hot plates so the meal turned cold very quickly.Not the cheapest night out, but well worth it for the quality of the food.

The best Chinese restaurant for miles. Food and service is excellent with a great atmosphere. It's not overpriced, you simply get what you pay for.

For the price, you'd like to think its the best you'd get... but we've been going to Kim Ton takeaway for years and the food there we think is better... better portions and better prepared. Ok, for a takeaway you don't get a sizzling skillet or scallops, but for nearly double the cost??

Excellent tasty, straightforward, uncomplicated Chinese cuisine, served by the friendly helpful staff. Reasonably priced, probably just lacks a bit of atmosphere. Recommend the mixed starter, beef with ginger & spring onion.

We have been here a number of time for different occassions and what always gets me is how get the staff are - they fantastic. The food is really good I have tried a wide range from it and I have never been disappointed. If you go for a Birthday they step it up a notch and make the person who's Birthday it is feel special. Well done on every front. See you soon

This is a family owned restaurant and the staff are charming and give excellent service . The first course was very tasty with a mixture of small starters . However the main courses were a little bland . Just not flavourful enough for us .

Not much to say about our experience at Welcome Inn, we are unlikely to be returning. Food was nice enough but overpriced and nothing special. The service wasn't great, staff weren't helpful in describing dishes in any detail and we didnt feel particularly relaxed. We have had better experiences at other Chinese restaurants in the area.

After spending an afternoon shopping and pretty hungover, we were starving and decided we needed a Chinese. So we ended up here and I'm so glad we did! Food is first class! Always tastes fresh and not too salty, superb!

Went again last night, having not been there for about three months. Still up to standard! The staff are always friendly and welcoming and the pace of service is just right. We see many regulars each time we go, and this is a good recommendation in itself. They will also tailor dishes to your specific requirements, i.e. adding or taking out ingredients. This is possible as everything is freshly cooked.
