I made the mistake of ignoring the bad reviews, thinking “how bad can they be?” Cue two hours of them saying that either the food had been delivered or that it was on its way, when neither was true. It never came and they were horrible on the phone when I tried to complain. For your own sake, avoid at all costs

Had been ordering loyally from here for over 10 years, but in the past few years the quality has drastically reduced; orders are always wrong or late and food is now watery and nothing like it used to be. I think maybe it had new owners who didn't maintain the previous quality and complaints seem to make no difference so I stopped going after giving them several chances to improve. Very disappointing

I ordered from there website late evening, food never arrived, they dont answer phone, and i never got my money back. Everytime i call they say we will speak to the manager and you will get a call back but never happens. From previous reviews i can see more people had same issues, Stealing wont take you anywhere. Avoid this place people.

I ordered late night on a sunday/ early morning of a monday. 00:40 to be EXACT! come 1.30am i did not receive ANY updates! I called to see where the food was and NOTHING! All the man could say was i will call the driver to see where he is. Didn't get a call back so i called again about 30min later.... The man then said to me its taking up to 90mins to get food prepped and out! Ok... Come 2.30am!!! I called and no answer so I just went to bed. Next day i called to complain and address i paid for a service i did not receive! And what do they do? Take almost 3 days to say it was delivered at 2.10am..... It was noted in their system! So i asked for proof of that note in their system but APPARENTLY... Due to confidentiality or what not it can't be done... I don't know what confidentiality because the person it was meant to be delivered to is me! OBVIOUSLY they KNOW they didn't deliver the food! Otherwise they would have proved to me that it was delivered! I DID NOT RECEIVE THAT DELIVERY! And the fact they are trying to call me a liar says that much! To me its not even about the money but the level of customer service. No sorry no care in the world. Complete nonsense thieving business. This is not even the first issue I've had but this now cuts the line!!! NEVER ORDER FROM THEM WITHOUT A 3RD PARTY TO PROTECT YOU! NEVER ORDER FROM THEIR WEBSITE EVERRRR. I would give 0 stars! MINUS ZERO!!

Called multiple times to ask where the food was (it never actually arrived), on the first call the guy said was that the driver should be with me in 5 or 6 minutes, on the second call he said he would call the delivery driver and call me back, but he never called back. I asked if he was in a car, because it sounded as if I could hear an indicator ticking. He said yes and that he had just closed the shop. What a joke. When the food finally did arrive, just under an hour late, it was cold, inedible and ended up in the bin. What a joke of a business - save yourself the trouble, never order from these charlatans.

I ordered a takeaway from this place last week, and it arrived within the suggested wait time (45 minutes), however parts of the meal was uncooked/cold, even though I live a few minutes drive away. When I called up to complain I was informed the driver was at my door 25 minutes before he actually appeared and was accused of not ringing "within the right timeframe" to report an issue even though I called a few minutes after it arrived, and my complaint was trivialized into informing me I was incorrect and was simply trying to claim "free food". The person on the phone offered to send me new food, but when I stated I was worried about the temperature he told me he would prove that I was wrong. At this point I was also told they were going to supply contact info for me to follow-up which never materialized and still hasn't. I did not follow-up further because I had three phones calls at this point and each time the man on the phone made me feel like I was lying and creating drama. The quality of the food wasn't bad, but the overall attitude and unprofessional nature was awful and at times could be seen as gaslighting towards me, I left the call feeling emotionally drained and agitated. It is sad for me to write this review as I have lived locally in the area for a number of years and always make an effort to support local businesses but the way I was spoken to and the lack of follow up has compelled me to warn others of this.

I saw the reviews and thought how bad can this be? It is shockingly bad. I ordered spareribs and what came was lamb or goat. It looked grey and nasty. Tasted worse. Ordered fried rice that was so tasteless. Like not even a pinch of salt or pepper. I threw most of the food away as I didn’t want to be sick in a foreign country. Again, i’m shocked at how bad the food is from here.

Ok. I made my order yesterday on ubereats. I order some stir fried noodles that honestly were great. Spicy enough, great taste, abundant.The thing is that the time it was supposed to be here was not here. There was no tracking system on ubereats and the only over option to contact the restaurant was to call them. Fine. Call them 4 times, voicemail. I checked on tripadvisor. Very bad reviews about delivery, damn. So after one hour delay i tried to ask for refund but it was almost impossibile becuase it was still on preparation. So more than one and a half hour since my order a guy called me with his.phone saying he couldnt find the place. After 25 minutes he appeared at the door saying that the post code send him a km away. Now, london is huge and that why you have indication about the court, the road, numbers etc. If youre late and you have all the info it s your fault. What i suggest is to go directly there and order some food personally. Otherwhise avoid it. There is loads of great place to order food at.

Honestly I would give it a zero if I could. it’s a TOTAL SCAM. This was my experience, I ordered with Uber Eats however Xiong Mao delivers its own food. They will send an incompetent driver to deliver your food and not find the address. They will then cancel the order, charge you for it, then make it seem as though you cancelled it so you cannot get a refund. DO NOT BUY FROM HERE PLEASE.

TLDR: Ordered food from them and it didn’t arrive Ordered via Deliveroo at at around 1600, and the order was scheduled to come at 1830. The food was late (it’s Christmas Day, so we’re chillin) after around 30 mins (1900) we called and called and the answer was that the food was on its way. After over 2 hours of waiting (and the restaurant still telling us rudely that it will be another 10-15 mins) we were able to contact Deliveroo and get a refund. Deliveroo didn’t want to refund me as they don’t deliver this food, the restaurant does, so there’s some loophole where the restaurant won’t deliver food, and Deliveroo don’t refund you, but in my experience if you’re polite to the Deliveroo support, they’ll help you out :)

Having read some of the previous reviews after I placed an order through UberEats I was skeptical. However, I had absolutely no reason to be so. The food was delicious, authentic and arrived within the allotted time that it suggested it would. I think some of the previous comments blaming the restaurant when ordering through a third party should be taken with a pinch of salt - it's not the restaurants fault if a Deliveroo driver doesn't complete a delivery and in these tough times negative ratings can have a heavy impact on small, independent businesses! Give this place a try - it was a positive experience for me!

Cada revisión dice lo mismo en todos los diferentes sitios de revisión: esto es 100% una estafa total que toma el dinero de las personas y no envía pedidos.Literalmente, el peor servicio que he recibido de cualquier comida para llevar en Londres. Pedido directamente a través de su sitio web y después de una hora llamé para asegurarme de que mi pedido había sido recibido. Me pidieron mi número de pedido y código postal y me dijeron que sí y que el conductor estaba en camino. Vivimos a 5 minutos de ellos, así que cuando no llegó en 10 minutos llamé de nuevo y me dijeron lo mismo. Repetí ese proceso dos veces más y me dijeron lo mismo, y que el conductor llegaría "en cualquier segundo". Después de una hora y media volví a llamar y me dijeron que la orden nunca había sido recibida y nada había salido de la cocina todavía. Su personal mintió repetidamente, aunque sonaba como el mismo tipo en cada llamada, incluso cuando admitió que el pedido aún no se había cocinado. En una de las llamadas telefónicas, el tipo incluso "llamó al conductor para ver dónde estaba". Totalmente mental. Cancelé el pedido y me sorprenderé si veo un reembolso. Esta es la segunda vez que los usamos y la segunda vez que tenemos un problema.

My order last night took over two hours to arrive and they sent the completely wrong order. I had called them after waiting one hour and they said 'the food is on the way', which was a lie as it took another 90 mins to arrive. Food was cold, sloppy and gross. Please support other local businesses who are more interested in their customers. It's clear this place plants 5 star reviews to try and balance their reputation.

I used to order from them years ago, but stopped after a few bad experiences. So, I have just recently started ordering from here, again. On both occasions I've recently ordered something was either missing or the wrong chow main sent. Having said all of this, the food is superb. Whilst it is more expensive than your local takeaway, this is far tastier and less stodgy. I usually feel bloated after eating from other takeaways but never after eating from here. Delivery times are quite long, but, I do not mind as the food is well worth the wait.

Advertised on Deliveroo as having delivery time of 15 minutes, ordered and turns out it takes an hour. Waited the hour until 20:50, driver hadn't arrived even at 21:15, then suddenly shows that delivery was complete even when I never received the food. Ended up having to eat elsewhere. Deliveroo can't provide refunds either coz the restaurant uses their own drivers. Unreliable. Edit: let me be clear: after waiting 55 minutes for food, the rider did not show up for an additional 25 minutes at least. Furthermore, it is an office building with a drop-off concierge. Unless you are willing to do a refund, I feel that for paying £13 for a 1.5hr wait and no food, a one-star review is fair.

There are other places which will actually deliver the food. Save your money. UPDATE: After contacting deliveroo, have been told xiong Mao is responsible for its own deliverys not deliveroo riders. Does not appear deliveroo is going to do anything about it, and the frequency of similar complaints about the restaurant suggests xiong Mao isn't going to do anything about it either.

Ordered some food from there. It don't arrive. I called the restaurant repeatedly but no answer. Maybe it was a lucky escape that I didn't eat the food that's served here. To update from your comment, I ordered via deliveroo order number 4115. The food was estimated to arrive within half an hour. I waited for over an hour, the app kept saying that the food was being prepared (I ordered 2 starters so it really shouldn't take do long). Both myself and deliveroo tried to make contact but there was no answer. Eventually the order was marked as delivered even though it wasn't. I live in an apartment with a buzzer. No one buzzed. I then had to stay on a live chat with deliveroo for 45 mins so that I could get a refund. I stand by my first review. I'm glad I didn't eat your food because your service is awful.

Order was placed with deliveroo and the food took an hour to arrive (it was suppose to take 20 mins). The szechuan had very little amount of beef and filled half of the box. The driver woke up my flatmates by banging on the door even though i specifically asked for them to call upon arrival to avoid that. Not worth the money spent. Upon reading the reviews I find their replies to customer feedback not uncommon but almost disrespectful. Here you have customers offering you feedback and an opportunity to rectify and find solutions and instead stating they didnt do their part. All I can say is dont order this food for takeaway. UPDATE: Dear Xiong Mao, I have no doorbell and the flat is above a business and that is why on my delivery note it states to phone me when the delivery arrives. Whether you give it to the homeless or not because your driver doesn't end up delivering the item is irrelevant. The problem is that deliveroo has a "quick delivery" option and it stated it would arrive within 20 minutes. Yes, it was a late delivery but had I known I would have to wait that long I would've opted for really anything else nearby. It is no excuse to not deliver an item on time or not following directions. Thank you for your response.

Quite unfortunate that I’m unable to give ‘Xiong Mao’ a rating of zero; I’d like to emphasise this is just because google doesn’t permit a rating of ‘zero’ Anyway this is my story... I ordered 2 mains from Xiong Mao at £20 via Deliveroo’s app. Xiong Mao uses their own delivery service therefore as I would unfortunately find out meant I could not be refunded by Deliveroo in the instance of a problem. I waited for over an hour for my meal to be delivered, I had been craving some Chinese food after a long day on campus. Suddenly, I receive a notification that my food had been delivered (it had not) so as any reasonable person would do I contacted the restaurant which insisted it was delivered to my house, Deliveroo on the other hand pointed out that since Xiong Mao runs it’s own delivery service it would be unable to reimburse me. I then called the restaurant to find out if I could come up to pick up my order myself, my calls are being ignored 😆😆 So now here I am, using the power of customer reviews to warn my fellow foodies 😂! The guys over at Xiong Mao are sneaky they’re using a loophole to profit off random Deliveroo users and leaving some like myself with only a bruised banana to have for dinner! You guys are not nice! IN RESPONSE: Oh come on dude why you do this hahaha! Okay let's do this.... I noticed you had replied to my review i would just like to point out to anyone who is planning to order from here that I DID NOT receive my order. My so called inconvenience is that Xiong Mao charged me £20 and did not deliver. You would also notice that someone else left a similar review 4 weeks ago. In regards to my phone call, you have my consent to publish it, I spoke to 2 different deliveroo customer support representatives and they mentioned the same point.As for me calling only once I have screenshots of my call logs, I also have screenshots of my chat with deliveroo, Oh and as for calling 45min why would my screenshot of the alleged delivered notification show 20:57 but my screenshots of me calling show 21:00, 21:03, and 21:23? Also have screenshots of your reply. Hey I can keep going all night buddy I am pulling an all-nighter for my investment law essay. All I wanted me was some spicy noodled LOOL bring it

Ordered tonight, the chicken curry was watery and the rice was overcooked and stuck together, but the prawn balls and spare ribs were great and hot.

Pedí un pollo para llevar, sopa de maíz dulce con chile fresco, jengibre y ajo, ya que tenía un resfriado y lograron agregar las cosas que deseaban. Probé otros lugares antes de encontrar este y se negaron. La sopa era increíble, mejor de lo que esperaba basado en las reseñas. También orden gambas que eran tan agradables también. Muchas gracias al personal de este lugar por comprender que es difícil cuando estás enfermo y que solo una cosa te hace sentir mejor es mi sopa de pollo especial.

Make sure you are not hungry when you order from here. As if you are hungry you’re in trouble !!! Plus, avoid Deliveroo on this restaurant, they will not take the blame whatsoever.

Went in as there’s tables and chairs. Was told I could eat in but then got served food in a takeaway bag. So I asked for a plate and cutlery. Told there was plastic cutlery in the bag but there’s no plates. Ok, so not a restaurant then but why not make that more obvious. Food was pretty big standard and too pricey for a simple take away meal. Not going to return here.

Terrible experiencia con este restaurante. Hice un pedido a través de Just - Eat y la orden fue entregada a mí. Ofrecí la comida para mi familia y encontré que el pollo estaba cocinado y mi niño encontró 3 pelos en la comida desagradable. Nunca más

¡Horrible! Pollo al curry era frío y sosa. He estado haciendo pedidos por un par de años y la calidad ha ido bajando de forma constante. Mirando los comentarios en tripadvisor, la excusa de estar bajo una nueva administración coincide con la caída en la calidad. La comida es bastante cara, pero al principio la sofocamos porque era buena. Pero, hoy fue el peor y último momento para mí. Gasta tu dinero en otro lado.

Been a customer for a few years now and I have to say the quality has dropped over time. Today was the worst and final time. At first we stomached the prices because it was pretty good. Tonight I had a chicken curry, the curry was non-existent (the crackers were spicier) and even though delivery was within 5 minutes it was cold and needed microwaving. Avoid this place until they appreciate the customer.

I ordered food from this place. In 5 minutes I received a phone call cancelling the order. However, I never got refund for money and the restaurant even goes as far to claim I'm lying! I will NEVER order from that place again. If you do not want to have your money stolen, you shouldn't too.

The order arrived quicker than anticipated (which was great as I was hangry!) but without the promised free prawn crackers for a £20+ order. It all tasted great and as I expected it to. My only criticism is that it wasn’t very hot but it was ok for my elderly Mother to eat, but as it’s literally across the road I would’ve hoped for it to be hotter. That’s just my personal preference. But it tasted good and that’s what matters!

Garden House Chinese takeaway in Finsbury Park is located a 3 minute walk from the station. No indoor area to eat (they use to have seating). Looked like half Chinese and Bric-a-back establishment. The same person that served me went out back and cooked up the driest dish imaginable - Vegetarian Singapore Vermicelli😬. I couldn’t finish the dish as at that time I had no liquid and couldn’t stomach anymore. The establishment felt very dated and not help with a large area full of Bric-a-back. Not sure if the items were free to take or selling them. The member of staff was helpful.
