The best restaurants serving Chinese food in East Midlands

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

Some of the dishes are very hit and miss. Good: - Prawn Toast - Spring Rolls - Salt and Pepper Chicken (although the portion size was tiny and needs to be more chicken) - Singapore Chow Mein Average: - Prawn crackers (stale) - Egg fried rice - Crispy shredded chilli beef (had much better elsewhere. This was not crispy and was far too sweet. Good ones ive had elsewhere have a savoury sweet sauce, not full sweet chilli. - Chinese chicken curry. Mostly okay. Nice consistency and amount. A bit lacking in flavour however. - Ribs. Flavour is nice usually but the quality/meat on a rib is very very hit and miss. Some have been 90% fat. Bad: - Chicken in a satay peanut sauce. Not sure what this was supposed to be really. Not much chicken, thin sauce, no peanut flavour, for some reason very sweet? Had pineapple. I presumed it would be a thicker peanutty sauce. I hope this review is taken as intended. I want Golden Bowl to serve the best quality, being my local. I hope my feedback is taken on board 😁

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.

I’m afraid to say just terrible, one of the worst Chinese take aways we have had!! Over cooked chilli beef(taste burnt) Under cooked batter in chicken balls Hard rice. We don’t normally leave bad reviews but was so disappointed for giving Wings ago!! Back to our usual local!!

The aromatic duck tastes Devine. I do not think I’ve seen a Chinese in Britain that does the food so well. The online menu reads chapter and verse the same as my wedding day clear-cut with all the information that one could ever need for ordering a Chinese.
