The best restaurants serving Chinese food in East Midlands

dreadful spent good money on a takeaway , was bland, tasteless, poor quality all round, feel gutted that you spend hard earned money on a meal which hasn't been prepared as nicely as you would expect, must be improved, sorry to submit this poor review

I phoned my order through at 6:20pm to be told there was an hour and a half wait. I said yes, that’s fine. I was then told the food would be ready at 7:45. We arrived on time to collect our order, expecting a small wait as there usually is on a Saturday night but I didn’t expect to be waiting for a whole hour! There were lots of disgruntled people waiting for their food and being told to wait however many more minutes, then I spoke to a man who had been told to collect his food at 8:15, half an hour after I was told ours would be ready and he was given his order before us! How is that fair? Although our food was good, we will not be returning. I would rather drive a few miles further to collect our food on time than stand there waiting for a whole hour! It could have been cooked in an hour, without the added hour and a half on top! Disgusted.

While visiting friends here, I suggested that we have a Chinese takeaway. This one is very close by were my friends live, we ordered a selection of dishes from the very comprehensive menu. And we certainly wasn't disappointed with the amount and the quality of the food. Would have given it 4.5 stars but had to give four stars. Certainly recommend this establishment and definitely use again next time we are visiting our friends. And good value for money .

Absolutely disgusting ordered a meal it came called the noodles were so dry they wouldn’t come out of the container so rang back ordered again really nice on phone then it came hot but was un edible. Never ever have I had Chinese so bad will never ever order again.

Called up to place an order, was told they weren't taking any more orders at 7 pm . Asked if I could walk in to place an order, I was told no. This is the only takeaway in Hanslope. pointlessly, if you can't order any food. Ordered from my old Chinese restaurant in Heelands, no issues. Puts me off even trying next time!

Great food, I always come here when I'm in Darley Dale and it never disappoints ! The lady at the front is always the friendliest and serves with a smile every time.

My favourite chinese in dronfield by far always delivered and very hot not luke warm like other takeaways

Absolutely tasteless spiceless food. Wouldn't bother unless you like raw veg & chiiless meals. Will not return

Used to be a great restaurant, but the new management extremely rude, the quality of the ingredients has fallen, and the prices are ridiculously high. Don't try to speak with the manager about any concerns, as you will face a very rude response.

Absolutely fabulous food . Hot and very tasty. Staff couldn’t make you more welcome . How do they do it for the price . Will be back again soon. Thank you for a lovely afternoon out

Real neat place with an equally neat atmosphere; popping decor; 80s bops in the background and warm lighting. Their all you can eat periods are great value and the food's quality ain't that bad. Drinks aren't included in there but there's fruit that might do the trick. The selection available might not be sufficient for some but it worked just well for me. Their service ain't bad as well, at times striking up conversation and speeding with quick service. Dantha's doing great with their duties and is very sociable. There's a good amount of tables; a bar; toilets binary and non-binary. In all, it's a cool place for a meal and to just stay a while.

We moved to the village last year and have been ordering food from Golden Bowl at least once a fortnight ever since. Fantastic food, heaps of choice and always so so quick. We’ve been through most of the menu and are yet to find anything we don’t like!

Cold , tasteless not sure I even got a Chinese? Honestly tasted like a ready meal from Heron . Actually that’s not fair on Herons. Ordered at 17.50 and we said we’d be back at 18.45 , got back @ 18.40 to be told 15 to 20 minutes!!? Now if they were cooking it fresh so you would expect it to be piping hot after a 2 minute car trip… alas no between 22 to 30 c tested. Put in dishes and into the oven. (This point wishing I hadn’t wasted £40 and gone to Herons) hoping the taste would make up for everything, yet again bitterly disappointed. Probably the worst takeaway I’ve ever had .

We have been using New Sunflower for probably 30 years and have always had great food. Of late, we have always had the same mains (66 Sweet and Sour Chicken Hong Kong Style and 83 Mixed Meat Hot with King Do Sauce) delicious and recommended! I don't understand the 1 star ratings

Really nice delivery person food really fresh and hit always adjust menu as I have mushroom allergy. Very grateful and enjoy the tofu dishes thank you.
