The best restaurants serving Chinese food in England

Completely inedible!! Sweet and sour sauce was like water and soggy chicken balls. we found pieces of spam in our chow mein, literally had to recook and add the vital flavours that are missing.

One of the most authentic Chinese/Vietnam food takeaway/restaurants in Barnstaple. Food not greasy just right flavours too, exactly how it should be. Eaten in ordered she loads of takeaways from here, simply brilliant all rounder.

1st time trying this place. There was Not a lot of flavour in sweet and sour chicken and prawns and lots of onion square peices mixed in. The salt and chili crispy chicken was hard and not the best but the dogs crunched them up.

Serves Chinese food and fish and chips (etc). The Chinese / oriental food is consistently nice with a fine selection. Prices are in keeping with the area. The nicest in the area IMHO. The chips are the nicest chips I have found in years, and the only take away chips I eat. They are always fresh (in my experience) and quite thick, crispy on the outside and squishy inside. The battered fish is also decent. Its often worth calling ahead to order, then pick up.

The price I just pad was outrageous. I ordered fried rice dish, chicken dish and a seaweed starter. All for one person and I was charged nearly £36??? Seriously!

This is without a doubt the BEST Chinese takeaway I have ever been to. We have been coming to Kan’s for two decades - growing up locally, this was my family’s go to takeaway for a Saturday night. I am impressed every single time. The staff are always friendly and attentive, the service is fast and efficient, and the food is authentic, delicious, and of excellent quality. Additionally, the portions are very generous, with each container being full to the top. My personal favourite dishes are the salt and pepper chicken and Singapore vermicelli.

Nice meal, great size portions. One main was salty. Had the fixed menu, staff would not change a main course unless we paid for the deluxe menus. First two courses very good, well cooked and presented. Main was good except for prawn in black bean, which was rather salty. Couple on the next table did not eat any of one of their beef mains, saying it was far too salty to eat, so do complain if you can't eat it. We managed ours but would have preferred less salt, rest of the mains were good in quality and presentation.

Food far too greasy and of poor quality, the icing on the cake was the hair we found on the prawn crackers! Never again! Worse Chinese food I’ve had in my life!

Very strange one. Got a delivery. The delivery woman was really quick, friendly. Took the food upstairs and realised I was missing a part of the order. I rang the restaurant and they said they would deliver the missing part of the order and apologised for the inconvenience. 5 minutes later I then received another phone call from the restaurant from a woman shouting down the phone at me calling me a liar! Absolutely shocking customer service in the end. Definitely would not recommend, unless you fancy having an argument!

Check your bill! First time visiting since the new people taking over. Had the buffet as usual - still great food. When we asked for the bill it wasn’t itemised but presented as a ‘food’ sub-total and a ‘drink’ sub-total then the total amount which they wanted you to pay immediately . Was only when we got home we realised they’d overcharged us by £10. This wouldn’t have been a 10% service charge as our bill should have been £122 but we were charged £132. Be careful and check your bill before paying!

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

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'?

The food is very good quality, chips are to die for, how is it a Chinese does better chips than any chips shop I've been to in the last decade? Anyway, been looking for a new Chinese after my old favourite closed due to retirement. This may be my new go to!

Never had a bad take away from here. Cash only is a pain in the arse so lost a star for that

The portion sizes are excellent, we couldn't finish it all but would definitely recommend! We had a small donner kebab, a tray of meat and chips and a small portion of chips on the side, lovely service as well
