Yong Sheng in Wellingborough

Had to throw my food away. Crispy seaweed was stale, mixed vegetable fried rice tasted old and sweet and sour mixed vegetables tasted off. Normally a nice place to get food from but I'll be thinking twice before I order again

An excellent meal at a reasonable price promptly delivered and chosen from a good. Menu with dishes to suit everyone !!!

PROS: 1) WALKING DISTANCE FOR ME 2) RANGE/CHOICE 3) RELATIVELY INEXPENSIVE 4) FREE SPRING ROLLS AND CRACKERS CONS: 1) UNABLE TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS 2) NO CARD READER IN SHOP- CASH ONLY OR ONLINE 3) EXTRA CHARGES ADDED FOR ONLINE ORDERS 4) CHEAPER INGREDIENTS IN ABUNDANCE, MEAT NOT SO. I really wanted to like (and support) my local Chinese takeaway. Firstly, since it’s only 5 minutes walk from me, secondly, because I do get lazy (in terms of cooking). I have used Yong Sheng twice, and twice I have been happy with the taste, just not some of the details. The first detail is, their ribs are dried out, obviously from reheating. Of course every takeaway finds efficiencies, but in 50 years plus of eating Chinese food, I have never ever had a dried out rib anywhere! I have lived all over the World, and all over the UK. Yet Yong Sheng’s ribs are the worst ever. On my second trip (and last ever) I explained how the first trip was disappointing because of dried out, reheated ribs. I asked that mine were not dried out that time. When I got home, the ends of them were. On reflection, it was a better attempt than the first time, when several were completely dried out. That batch visited the bin. The food is very tasty, but the issue is, as with many retailers, corners are being cut. This final visit I had a beef curry. It was populated with large chunks of mushrooms, and strangely, two slices of carrot, and the ubiquitous onion. I like the onions in a Chinese curry, but when I order a beef curry, I expect that to be the main ingredient. Apparently not, at Yong Sheng. You cannot pay by card reader, you have to pay online in a third party app. You are charged 10p bagging fee (never had that at a takeaway) and 50p service fee. You are then asked if you want to tip the staff too! What is the service fee for and when does a takeaway charge a service fee? Next it’ll be a parking fee and then a heating up fee… They are very nice people, and I don’t doubt that it’s a management decision to increase the cheaper ingredients and reduce the expensive ones. However, put the price up and maintain the quality. I didn’t write this review after the first visit with the awful ribs. I gave you a second chance. There was no apology, no offer of a discount and what us worse, the same awful ribs. No-one in this current economic depression can afford dissatisfied customers. Dissatisfied customers tell on average, 13 other people. Satisfied ones only 3. Now with social media, I have just informed everyone who I uses trip advisor searching for Chinese in Wellingborough, not to takeaway, but to stay away!

Not only have they delivered to Isham more than once!!..the quality of food and service is excellent. Highly recommend

Our usual takeaway was closed so we ordered from here instead, and will probably stay with them now! The food arrived quickly and was of a high quality, very generous portions plus some free extras which went down well. Good value for money too, would certainly order again

Never had a bad take away from here.You get freebies over a certain amount,so bonus!! Delivered on time & piping hot.

Been having takeaways from here for a few years now never had any complaints.food is always red hot when delivered and the lady on the phone polite so cannot understand the bad reviews.obviously didn’t like the food for some reason.the egg fried rice and chicken nuggets with chips have been very nice no complaints here

Was recommended by a freind to have a take away. Big mistake! Utter rubbish. £45 later Awful. Binned it all!! Crap!! Bland. No flavour. No spices. Mush. Phoned yong Sheng to make a simple complaint. The lady was rude and put the phone down on me. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!!!

Used to be great but food has definitely gone down hill in the past year. Tastes very bland, dry and flavourless these days. Need to find a new favorite unfortunately
