Xing Fu in Eastbourne

Fantastic food, really enjoyed my lunch. There is a set menu that is super reasonable. I will definitely come back!

Tasty meal here, we had one of the sharing menus and really enjoyed it. Friendly staff too.

Quite good for a British Chinese but as others have said, it's ruined a bit by them not knowing how to balance dine-in business with takeaway. At some point you have to take a long hard think about whether you're a serious restaurant or not.

A really good experience from beginning to end. Service was first class and very friendly. Food was of the highest standard - best I've had in a long time.

The food was very good when we eventually got it. The restaurant is very nice and staff very friendly but the service was very slow. We were in the restaurant for over 2 hours before getting our main course and being with a little one this wasn't great. The main problem we could see is that the restaurant was understaffed and the amount of takeaways that was going out really slowed the service down. This also made the the dining experience within the restaurant unpleasant as the people were just waiting within the restaurant for their food making it very congested and busy

Thoroughly enjoyed our experience eating in this excellent authentic Chinese restaurant (Thursday 1st August 7 pm). The food was fabulous as well as the excellent service. Two of us went for the Taste of Hong Kong tasting menu. I had the two glasses of house red wine while my wife ordered a bottle of Pinot Grigio. Afterwards 3 of us went for the Chinese tea which thoroughly rounded off a delightful evening and what a charming helpful waitress. Thank you. The whole meal for 4 came to about £129 or just over £30 each which was very reasonable. Will definitely come here again and fully recommend this restaurant. A real find.

first time we visited and wow food was great and good value to will defo be returning

Lovely food and charming staff but service Sooooo slow. Booked for 7:30 received first course about 8:30 and mains at 9:45. Didn’t stay to see how long desert and coffee might take. Left at 10:15. So disappointed

This is a great Chinese restaurant in a beautiful area just outside Eastbourne centre. The staff are so friendly and welcoming The menu is really interesting with lots of different dishes, too many to choose from. The portions are very generous and all of our food was delicious. The scallops with asparagus were wonderful. Not expensive with a good wine list. We will definitely be back and we certainly recommend this restaurant.

Lovely food and service friendly but far too long to get served. Booked for 7:30 starters arrived 8:30 and mains 9:45. Didn’t stay for desert or coffee. So disappointed after previous good experiences

Amazing Chinese hidden out in meads. A must for any Chinese food lover. Repeated expeditions up to meeds have all provided the quality of food and service are second to none. And the all to frequent takeaways are just as good. If you've not tried, do!

Perfect place to celebrate dad's 93rd birthday. Delicious food and excellent service

We went here because of the rating ie 4.6 Can't understand how it achieved this. The atmosphere was nice. All appeared clean.... but food was bland. Sauces watery Portions small Honestly not great as would expect from a nice looking restaurant in the Meads with a good rating also Will not recommend or return. Maybe they should concentrate more on getting flavour into their food than advertising their 2m apart Rule as advertised at the door entrance!

Most enjoyable lunch. Food and service superb.

Definitely one of the best Mandarin restaurants in Eastbourne.

Excellent service delicious food

Best vegetarian menu choices I've seen in ages and excellent value

This was my first chinese takeaway since being coeliac and it did not disappoint, 10000% recommend!!! I had smoked shredded chilly chicken, special fried rice, stir fried beef with capital sauce, crispy seaweed and prawn crackers 😍 the service was really friendly and they had our order ready to collect within 20 mins

Best Chinese restaurant in Eastbourne by far. Super friendly owner and staff, food is always fresh! My favourites are the dumplings and the mao pork but there is so much great choise that its worth many repeat visits. Will be back!

Went last Saturday evening. Only been once before for lunch. Totally different atmosphere. Food was lovely & nicely presented , staff were attentive . Will definitely go again. I'd advise booking as all tables seemed to be reserved.

Tasteful decor with an authentic Asian feel. Food was good, especially crispy duck pancakes, and Cantonese sweet and sour king prawns. Although the braised aubergine was way too spicy. They were happy to provide a doggy bag as we had over ordered.

Very welcoming and friendly staff was the first thing to jump out at us as we entered the restaurant. The interior is very well done and feels very genuine and classy. Both our dishes were tasty and well presented. Crispy duck particularly good. Not your average Chinese but still low prices. What a great find!

Wonderful family atmosphere. Welcoming staff. Beautiful decor. 😊

Good food, attentive service (there was a new person being trained and we were asked specifically if we minded her being there)

Best Chinese restaurant in Eastbourne by a long way. Food is excellent; well cooked from fresh ingredients. All served by extremely friendly staff. Not the cheapest night out but worth every penny. Recommend trying the lunch menu. Extensive choice and cooked to the same standards. Give it a go, you won't regret it.

Delicious beautifully presented food and excellent service.

Delicious food and excellent service.

Best Chinese on the south east coast

I’ve been a long time customer of Xing Fu and every time I visit/order, they’re always so lovely and helpful. The food is wonderful and the portions are great. The Char Siu Pork Buns are sooo good I tell everyone about them haha! Deffo worth a visit if you’re in the area xx

If you are anywhere near this restaurant I recommend that you eat here

sophisticatedly decorated interrior meets authentic Chinese cuisine, a perfect spot to dine, talk, drink and enjoy at, strongly recommended!:)

Muy limpio el lugar y la comida excelente, quizás diría que el arroz un poco seco, pero lo resto hace que este a su punto se sabor. Merece la pena probar por ello.

Wonderful Chinese cuisine mainly north China with some southern or central dishes with a modern twist

Absolutely love this place must be the best Chinese in the area

Simply the best Chinese food in Eastbourne!

Amazing food every time we go. Attentive service without being suffocating and don't feel rushed. Try the Salt and Chilli Pork Spare Ribs!

Excellent food delivered to our door. Good portions and very tasty

Good food presentation and great service. Staffs were friendly. Ordered Crispy duck, steamed sea bass, mixed vegetables and braised tofu. Taste is authentic. Price were reasonable. Highly recommended place.

Très bon accueil. Un personnel super serviable. Et nous avons super bien mangé. Je le recommande.

This is the best Chinese restaurant and takeaway in Eastbourne. The friendliest staff and the food is always fresh and delicious, not greasy/heavy in the slightest.

Anyone looking to eat out in Eastbourne, you could do a lot worse than 'Xing Fu' in Eastbourne. Really first rate (food, service, presentation and price) !

Absolutely amazing food. Lovely friendly staff. Highly recommended

Lovely friendly restaurant, with excellent service and food xx

Superb quality. I could eat here every night. The service is excellent and you feel very comfortable inside. Portion size seems to improved. Going to try their lunch deal soon!

Great best Chinese restaurant for miles

Lovely plentiful food,, the curry lacked enough sauce,,, but very good portion size,,, rest of order,, spot on,, will def order again,, thank you

2nd visit in a month, really enjoyed the food again. Dishes are well presented and tasty, good service, will keep coming back

What a perfect meal to celebrate my husband's 85th birthday. We enjoyed duck pancakes, sizzling beef and prawns, plus special fried rice. It was all beautifully served and enjoyed with relish. Thank you

Booked for Midday on Saturday for my Dads 80th Birthday for 7 people. Service was warm and welcoming and waitress answered all our questions. Food was quick to arrive and very fresh. Duck is awesome. All our party enjoyed the Food and service. Look forward to coming back.

Dined in very disappointed, staff were very friendly but the menu was very miss leading, the set menu's were set down as the price for one Pearson but my daughter was told you have a minimum of two, so why set it out as that when you can't get it, when ordering my daughter said to the waitress that she only wanted it if that was the price it was going to be I think the price was something like £ 26 which then became 54 pounds something and so many pence, we ordered off the main menu and the take away one. There were ten of us it was for my grandsons 18th birthday the food was very salty and the staff keep asking if we wanted any more drinks they did bring us jugs of water as we did not want to order any more fizzy drinks for the adults the young ones did have some more fizzy drinks when we received the bill my daughter found out that they were then charging double the amount on the set menu, we were all sharing, which she had stipulated too the waitress we only wanted it if the price was the same as that in the menu for one pearson and then they gave us two of things we had ordered dispite saying we only wanted what was on the main menu and at that price, we found it all very confusing and did not expect a bill of 320 pounds for the food we had revived, please make sure you see the price and remember the price they print in it is not what you are ordering,, as like I said why have a meal marked up as a price for one Pearson when you can't order it as it has to be a minimum of two people.

Had an early evening dinner here. Service was excellent and so was the food. I highly recommend it.

Shocking. Arrived cold. Chicken satay was cooked from frozen. Proper grim. Won't be going back there ever again.

Had an amazing evening here at Xing Fu ,friendly and helpful staff,very clean and nice relaxed atmosphere, great menu options and fantastic dumplings 😋 😀

Always brilliant service and superb food! Their smoked shredded chilli chicken is to die for! They accommodate Gluten free really well and we’ve always been happy! Highly recommend!!

Best Chinese in Eastbourne. Authentic sort of flavours. Price is okay since the quality is better than others. Good manners from staff make it a good experience too.

Try their light lunch special which is good value. Excellent food and service.

Lovely food. I fully recommend the sea bass. Friendly and helpful staff.

Had a takeaway from here New Year’s Eve spent £53 on various items all very clean presentable tasted ok could of done with a bit more flavour to everything a little bland and the chicken in the curry & chicken mushrooms seemed to be the little bits knotty ends rather than nice cut pieces but not bad

Not enough servers for the number of diners/ tables. Tinned mushrooms & cold prawn crackers are a no no.

Poor quality food. Ordered crispy duck and had 6 pancakes but not enough duck. The duck arrived all chopped up and not shredded fresh off the bone. Definitely wasn't a quarter of duck! Not good value for money and won't be returning. Sorry.

Been twice with our family our teenage grandchildren love it and they are very fond of the food in China town in london lucky to have this restaurant in meads

Went there for mother in law's 99 th birthday meal . Very good service and a free birthday drink thrown in 👍🙏🙏

I was introduced to this restaurant by a friend and since then I know that I have found the place to go for my stir fries and other Chinese cuisine dishes. The food is well prepared, the taste is amazing and the service is great too. I really recommend it.

Authentic Thai Restaurant that delivered a high standard of food and service. This will certainly be a regular for us.

Absolutely superb. Great hosts that are extremely welcoming and friendly. The food once you have managed to decide from the extensive menu is probably the best I have had in a long time. As a party of four we all tried each others and all came to the same conclusion. Excellent. We look forward to returning and trying some of the other dishes.

Squeezed us in when they had no bookings available online and we were so pleased they did! Food was very very tasty and fresh. Service was friendly and efficient. Would recommend to anyone in the area

We have recently moved to Meads and we are enjoying being able to eat locally and within walking distance. We had a fantastic meal Saturday night. Our friends that joined us said it was one of the best Chinese meals they had had in a long while and we agree. Lobster soup, crispy duck and chicken noodles were all tasty and the toffee banana was amazing. Luckily we had to walk home after ! Much needed after a lovely meal.

It's a great Chinese restaurant. It's delicious.

What a lovely find! We visited on a Tuesday evening and were welcomed with a happy smiling face. The lady (owner) who served us was lovely throughout our time at Xing Fu and was attentive without being overbearing. The food was served in good time, not too quickly where it could have been prepared but not so long that you were wondering where your order had got to. The food was lovely and well presented to the table. The final bill was also reasonable and all in all I would be very happy to visit again or recommend to a friend.

In my opinion, this is the best Chinese restaurant in Eastbourne. The food at Xing Fu has never disappointed me or my wife, who is Chinese

What a fantastic evening, the food and the service was exceptional. The staff were so welcoming and I would definitely recommend this restaurant to everyone.

Ordered last weekend, must say very disappointed every dish was bland very little flavour 70% of it went in the bin total waste of just over £50

Best Chinese food I have ever eaten, and I mean the best ever, when I visited Eastbourne over the weekend. Lovely staff. Now I need them to open a place up in Fife ;-)

Fantastic food. Great service. Best Chinese meal we’ve had in a long time

Food is amazing. Service was wonderful.. Best Chinese I've ever visited. I'll definitely return when I next visit Eastbourne.

Thank you so much for your help for the birthday party in May. We felt so welcomed and the food is so delicious. I highly recommend, the service is fantastic,the food is wonderful and most of all a superb welcome from the owner.

Excellent food, charming service and a convivial ambience. Highly recommended.

Pretty good, tasted fresh, came quick, food was hot. Veggies had a nice crunch, nice big prawns. Could have done with a bit more sauce for the chicken balls and the chowmein/food as a whole was a little bland. Could have done with some spice.

Delicious food with a nice service. Lovely atmosphere too. Thoroughly enjoyed our dinner.

At last, a Chinese restaurant that I enjoy going to! We've been going to Thai restaurants as they seem to be much better than the local Chinese. Every dish was unique and beautifully presented. The staff efficient but friendly. It gets very busy, so book in advance.

Gluten Freeeeeeeeeeee! Great chinese

It was lovely, food perfect.staff lovely.

Lovely food, excellent service but just a bit pricey

Highly recommend this place. We came here for dinner and the food exceeded our expectations. There was a delay between courses but we put this down to being NYE and the lovely staff were apologetic and provided us with complimentary drinks. We will be back again. Thanks so much for a lovely evening!

Had a wonderful family and friends get together. First for a long time and well overdue! The food was really nice and the atmosphere was great.

I had to go home and cook myself afterwards. I do appreciate that it’s a bit less food for lunch but for 9 pounds lunch in a Chinese restaurant for one main, I did not think I would get such an incredible small portion?! Even my baby eats more than what I received as a portion on my plate. I was very lucky that I got some free prawn crackers before! Even when the waitress asked me if everything is ok, I said: ‘ no, this is probably the smallest portion I have ever seen’, she only exclaimed: 'Bless!' Why ask then if they don’t care about costumer satisfaction anyway?! I am gutted that I did not take a picture as the portion was probably as big as my fist and I have a fist size xs. I contemplated about leaving this review but I really hope this is not going to happen in future with other customers as I had to go home afterwards to cook myself which I did not even had to do in Michelin starred restaurants I visited in the past.

There are not many places left where you can still get great value for money, but this is one of them. Comfortable and good service. If you're not too hungry, why not try the set lunch?

Stopped here for lunch, the food was delicious and fresh. Service very friendly and helpful. A real gem in the heart of Meads!

Absolutely superb. The food we had as a takeaway was the freshest we have had in years. The staff were lovely and so accommodating. We shall return when next in Eastbourne.

Lovely local Chinese in Eastbourne me and my husband came across whilst visiting the area. Highly recommend. We had a lovely platter with the best sea weed I've tasted. Ever. The waitress was clearly very busy but it did not take away from the great customer service. Very attentive. Drinks were prompt and the food was delicious. Me and my husband both left very satisfied and full tummies. Thank you Xing Fu, we will be visiting again one day. Best Chinese we have ever had. 5 star 🌟

The best Chinese restaurant in Eastbourne. Amazingly delicious food and lovely customer service. Highly recommended!

We have tried lots of Chinese takeaways. For us this is by far the best. The ingredients are fresh and of a good quality. It may cost a little more than some takeaways but the difference is noticeable when you taste the food. Exceptional.

It is always busy for a reason! Best Chinese food I have eaten - delicious and cannot wait to go back! The lady serving us was a genuinely warm, welcoming and lovely person and the young lad who seemed like he was in training was doing a brilliant job! This restaurant has a wonderful ambience and the most delectable, fresh tasting food I have ever tasted from a Chinese restaurant. I hope they continue to be successful and stay in the Meads in their super restaurant for a long time to come!

Had a take out from this place today was really good they cooked it quick and was very reasonably priced.

Nice foods and very friendly services. If you want to eat in, better book your table before as very busy there.

Really really good food, beautifully cooked, beautifully presented, the manageress was absolutely lovely, made a right fuss over our baby, we took mum and dad for dads birthday and he said it was one of the best chinese restaurants hes eaten in, and trust me that man has scoffed chinese around the globe. Very pleased daddy x

Delicious food and excellent service

Foods are absolutely delicious. They are very pleasant and friendly. Will comeback again soon.

Very tasteless no heat for chilli dishes, especially chilli beef and everything else was cooked fine but as bland as hell. Won't be ordering again.

Racist said didnt have a table 5 empty tables
