Yit Hing in North East Derbyshire

It amazes me how many positive reviews regarding the food, it’s absolutely rank. There’s something not right with all the meat options they all seem old and poor quality. Including the prawns, they haven’t had the intestine track cleaned out. None of the food is like any other Chinese takeaways, the flavour is lacking and watery. It’s just really really poor quality! Huan ying is much better or alternatively Ocean city is also good. Can’t knock the service all staff are very polite, but the food is shocking. Actually thinking about is making me feel a little sick. I have given this place so many goes because it’s so close and because of the reviews but every time I chuck it in the bin because it’s gross. I’m not a fussy eater in the slightest but something is off with the food, even the chips are shocking. Plus after one night I had crispy duck pancakes and woke in the middle of the night violently being sick that much I struggled to catch my breath. But went back to sleep and was okay in the morning…. So not sure what that was about. In my opinion swerve at all costs, much much better Chinese food in the area for the same price. Disappointing because it’s so conveniently close to me, plus has the tell tale signs of a good Chinese; no card payment, no delivery etc.

Walk in takeaway order, so no atmosphere comment! Whilst clearly very busy the wait for food was as expected. We had Kung PO beef, special fried rice and salt n peppa chicken. All food as ordered, hot and tasty.. a great Saturday treat!

Bland/flavourless noodles and egg fried rice. Only good thing was the beef and chicken. Prawn still had vein on the back. UPDATE 2024 Tried this location again as my local Chinese is temporarily closed, food was bland and tasteless. Prawns were rubbery. Had to add sauce to this which I have never had to do before with Chinese. Would not recommend. The best and tastiest thing was the fortune cookie.

Best Chinese takeaway in the whole of the world, I can bet on it! I’ve always used Fat Panda and I always will, couldn’t recommend enough! The staff are all lovely, the food is always on time and hot and absolutely gorgeous!

Terrible food tonight, has been the last 3 visits, unfortunately we won't be returning anymore, burnt pork chow main, sweet sour sauce watery! Undercooked brown rice no egg to be seen! Un edible prawn crackers! Totally gone down hill!!! Just terrible
