The best restaurants serving Chinese food in England

Nos dieron pollo de verdad en lugar del satay de pollo falso que pedimos y huevo en nuestro arroz frito cuando pedimos específicamente ningún huevo. Le dijeron al gerente que volvería a estar en contacto, pero nunca lo hizo. Pobre en el mejor.

We have just had takeaway from here and it was horrible (worst i’ve ever had). Nothing had any flavour and I had high expectations given I had spent over £50. The chowmein tasted of nothing, the salt n pepper chicken was the driest chicken with no flavour at all and didn’t come with any veg just plain chicken in a box. Rice was edible if curry sauce was on it. Can’t believe we paid £17 for dim sum and the sui mai was rock hard. The starter also came with what looked like mouldy lettuce in the box! Won’t be ordering from here again, stay clear! Will be getting my money back!

We have visited The Spice Exchange many times and never been disappointed. The restaurant is spacious, the tables elegant, with freshly laundered cloths. The food is always delicious: well cooked meat, fish & vegetables, with tasty sauces flavoured with different spices. On top of that, the service is amazing: professional yet friendly; individual yet detached. We always feel like welcome guests, in a huge family home where they remember our names and preferences, and offer the best advice when we can’t decide what we want. Definitely we recommend this restaurant 100%.

Refused to let a six year old just order a plate of chips and charged full buffet price as he occupied a chair in a half empty restaurant. The food was flavourless and bland and the service was pretty poor. Will definitely not be returning

We, a group of 4 adults just came back from a meal in The Great Wall Chinese Restaurant in town. We arrived at around 1815 hrs, found ourselves a table as there was only 1 staff serving while the other staff was busy answering the phone. It took a while to be served. We ordered the dishes and Chinese tea for 4. As time went by, the restaurant was filling-up with eat-in customers and the phone was forever ringing. People came in to pick up bags of takeaway food, delivery drivers came and went with delivery bags. An hour on, we could not see any food served on any table. We had the tea refilled a few times during this time but had to chase the whereabout of the teapot once the staff took it away. At the end, my sister had to approach the staff at the counter to raise our concern as it was already over an hour and there was no sign of any food. The staff apologized and went to chase the order in the kitchen. When the food arrived, one of the dishes was not what we ordered--special fried rice(dry) but we were given house fried rice(wet)! The staff insisted that was the way they cooked it. When I checked the bill against the prices on the menu, the tea was over charged and one dish was not the one we ordered! We were so fed up with the chaotic situation, we couldn't be bothered to argue but just wanted to leave. What an experience! We would definitely not going back!

Good takeaway, unfortunately closed down now

Have used the same place for years and as they’re closed had to look elsewhere The only one that came up as available and husband wanted a Chinese I only had a chicken fried rice and spring roll, lovely rice and spring roll crispy and nice filling Hubby had his salt & pepper ribs, special chow mein and a kung po chicken and said it was all delicious Would def order again albeit is more expensive than our usual

Had Takeway, not great food, Curry was watery, Singapore chowmein was bland . had other dishes and none that good. Only decent bit was the ribs. Will not go back.

We had a takeaway, set menu G, thinking that the food would be delicious as it was the week before. We had celebrated Chinese new year at the 'all you can eat buffet' was delicious. The quality of the food that was delivered was ok but the taste was and texture was awful. The shredded crispy chilli beef, was soft and chewy, not a a texture to enjoy and the taste was greasy. The sauce should have been served on the side so the crispy beef could keep it's crispyness. The You's Mixed Hors D'oeuvres were a challenge because the crab claws were a glutenous blob of cornstarch on a stick. We did enjoy the chicken satay, a great sauce. How can the food be so different between 'eating in' and 'takeaway'?

Food took 85 mins to be delivered food was hot which was a nice change. First time ordering from here. Didn't enjoy two of the meals curry sauce had no flavour broccoli was still raw and over powered with garlic. Crispy wonton hadn't been drained of the oil and the goo inside I couldn't work it out. The rest of the food was edible chips/rice etc. Wast of money in my op as the other meals couldn't enjoy. On the plus side a very polite delivery driver which is rare.

First time trying here - Best Chinese in Billericay! Was super quick, the portions were huge, everything was so fresh and was the tastiest Chinese we have had in such a long time. Will definitely be our go to from now on!

We arrived at 7:15 and the starters took one hour to arrive, after ordering. The main dishes were served after 9pm. The sweet and sour sauce was sweet and sticky and dreadful. NEVER AGAIN.

Never got to try the food. The restaurant was cold and uninviting. Had to leave as they don't allow dogs, they cited hygiene, health and safety as being the issue, so how come i manage to eat in lots of restaurants and take my dog with me ?

been coming to this restaurant for about 10 yrs and has always consistently good not a cheap eats kind of place but service food and quality has been good but went recently and has gone downhill food not anywhere near the standard it used to be portions smaller less meat or fish and flavours nothing like they should be im not a food critic but go to Chinatown a lot and all the main we had at bejing palace tasted the same base sauce of hot chilli wouldnt recommend ever again which is sad

Always used this restaurant for eve meals and takeaways, after one poor takeaway following change of management we tried takeaway again last night, Fri 10/01, what a turnaround, really tasty and fresh. We had.
