The best restaurants serving Chinese food in England

I'am not really sure what the negative reviews are all about to be honest. We booked a table for 4 and from the moment we arrived we were made to feel very welcome, the front of house staff were really nice, helpful and chatty. They asked about allergies at the start. We ordered a set meal for four comprising crackers, starters soup and then mains.....all of which were superb...highlights for me was the prawn toast and won ton for starters...not really had soup at a Chinese restaurant before but that was so nice...choice of chicken or crab...then the mains....well there was 4 and then we ordered chicken balls extra....the balls were a sensation as was the duck dish...actually there wasn't anything we didn't like and the serving plates were empty. Extra special fried rice was served when we asked and that on its own was really good too. Everything we had came out hot. We all had the 'Sun lik' larger on tap which was also very nice...the lady owner was so attentive, making sure we knew what we were ordering, answering our questions and just really having abit of banter with us too. Great night. All in all a good quality very tasty meal thank you.

First time visiting this restaurant. It was not very crowded and finding a table was easy. There was only one lady serving quite a few tables. This made the service slow. The food itself was good and has lots of veggie options. The ambience is neat and clean but is a bit dull.

Walked in after theatre around 10.15pm tonight, not expecting much. All the other Chinese restaurants on the street were closed. Empty (expected at this hour) but great food reasonably priced. First meal of the day, so I had the fried seafood chow mein, beef in black bean sauce & peppers, then decided to add a char sui egg fried rice! Generous portions too and nice friendly staff. Will come back 👍

Friendly staff and incredible food! I’m usually quite harsh on food admittedly, but Chando’s is fresh & incredibly good value. Best sweet and sour sauce I’ve tried, chips are always crispy and not mushy, not much is frozen that I’ve had and generally just good solid. Get on Just Eat!

Worst chinese I’ve ordered from. Freezing cold rang them after it was delivered & they didnt care at all. Dont bother spending your money here dont deserve 1p

The food is great and one of the waitresses can speak Polish so that’s a win

We waited about 2 hours for delivery, an hour late. Food cold and tasteless. I do not recommend.

Good food and service. Comfortable table, did not rush us, so we had time to chat.

Firstly, i have to say, i have just come on here to leave a review and i am shocked at some of the previous reviews. My wife and i have just returned home from a wonderful evening at The Mayflower. This isn't our first time here but i forgot to leave a review the last time, but this time this place blew us away and i had to. The food and service this evening was top drawer, Jack and Pheobe were rushed off their feet this evening, but handled the restaurant like true professionals with a constant smile on their faces and a professionalism that would put other restaurants to shame. I am only sorry i couldn't meet the chefs and thank them too, as the food was out of this world. This is without doubt THE chinese eat in restaurant in the Clacton/Holland area. Thank you so much guys, we will be returning again and again.

Amazing. Big portions and great flavours. Definitely coming back

Checking times. Tonight. OCT 2023 Closed for refurbishment. I have to say it's the only Local Chinese Restaurant to sit in. The other two are Take Aways. I took a Take Away home. A Beef Curry (sauce a little hot)(not your normal curry sauce, in house made.) and Plain Boiled Rice. Also Fried Noodle (thin type) and Beef (not chow mein) (there are a bits of green pepper, mushrooms, in it) also asked for Bean Sprouts with added onion, (perfect) Fried Rice and Sweet and Sour Sauce. (It had in it onions, cucumber, carrots and chucks of pineapple. Got to be made in house and fresh).

Amazing venue - we had table of 18 for my birthday and it was the perfect evening. Staff, food & performer were all wonderful and it’s such a great vibe. Thank you for making it so special!!

I had our son and daughter in law, staying from Surrey. We ordered takeaway from Royal China, for delivery. Wow ! It was the best Chinese we had ,had in a long time. Can't wait to have again. It was all beautifully cooked and hot once delivered. 100% recommend. Thank you, Royal China

Great good Hot and delicious! Ladies were lovely and attentive as always. Ambience is a bit dull

Haven't tried much. I just have the basic. Special fried rice, pancake roll, chicken Ball's n sauce etc. but what I have was Nice. Been back several time's. 1 thing I will say. Sometimes the sauce on the house special rice. And the sauce that comes with the chicken balls. It's like a red/orange color. Which is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. But sometimes it's like a red/Brown color. Which is Gross in my opinion. Tried but just couldn't eat it. Obviously different cooks on shift when this happens. If not. The. The cooks had a drink or off his nut. I tried sussing out the day's they served the Brown crappy sauce. But didn't work. I think it's a bit random. So I now ask can I see your sauce/or ask the color of it before ordering. 👏✌️
