The best restaurants serving Chinese food in East Midlands

Would not recommend, staff were so rude and abrupt when I walked in, not even a simple “hello” and I ordered £19 worth of food for the portion to be made so small. I ordered salt and pepper chips which just came as regular ones and a curry sauce that was not even filled half way. Don’t waste your money!

My favourite Chinese takeaway by far in the area. Such friendly service - unbelievably friendly and hygienic service. Food never disappoints. Pretty fast from order to delivery even on busier takeaway times and reasonably priced. Shame the soups aren’t often available is only negative. Strongly recommend for anyone in the area!

Terrible food! Worst yuk sung I have ever had. The mini spring rolls were OK. Food wasn't hot.

The food was delicious, and the delivery was prompt which was excellent because I was ravenous! Highly recommended

I have eaten at River Gardens for many years. We still enjoy a delivered meal. But to eat in- it was an awful experience this time. Tatty, curled noticed on the doors and barrier glass up at the bar makes it feel rather unwelcoming. The decor is rather tired, but also tatty and dirty in places. I understand paying up front - but it is not usual and it is not undertaken smoothly - the waiting staff seen rather uncomfortable. The warming plate arrived, stacked with plates and cutlery. And left like that. No one set out the table. Similarly, when the duck arrived with its trimmings, they were left stacked in the plate too. Most of the food was ok - but the crispy duck was rather dry, tough and did not seem hot or fresh. Served as chunks rather than shreds. Finally - when asking for the top up bill, I would expect a bill, to check, then pay. But no - just a card machine and this is how much it is. And to be honest, the cost completely outweighed the experience. The waiting staff seemed inexperienced, did not interact well and did not perform what I consider the most basic of service tasks. I will stick to a delivery order next time. Please sort things out River Gardens- I want to come back and enjoy the evening.

I’m not normally one to leave reviews, but this was GORGEOUS! We were going to go to a usual chain restaurant but thought we’d try somewhere authentic and independent, and I’m so glad we did- I had Chinese while my husband had Japanese, and our toddler had both (firstly, very accommodating for letting us do that). The Chinese was just unreal- I’ve tried many across the county and it was the best I’ve had. The duck in plum sauce was amazing and the egg fried rice was a highlight actually, such a staple has left me thinking about it several days later🥲 all the staff were so kind and friendly to a pair of very anxious diners and a grumpy/sleepy toddler (even bringing him a special little complimentary dish without us having to ask) and I’m very glad I’ll be studying in Lincoln and able to regularly support them. It’s such a big space too! I had no idea, a real hidden gem and I’ll be encouraging everyone I know to give it a try.

The worst service I've ever seen in the UK. Food is good. The service attitude is extremely bad, I don't recommend you to accept it.

Chicken curry with chips, and sweet and sour chicken Hong Kong style, my curry didn't even taste of curry!!! So sweet!!! Just mush !!! Realy bad texture in the mouth!! , Hong Kong style chicken about the same, never again 😑

Always good food and never had a bad meal. we have used this Chinese takeout for many years thanks guys keep it up

Really good food never had a bad meal, tried both menus, chip shop or Chinese. Very clean. It's cash only. Plenty of parking.

Always have great food from here, we always collect and it is ready quickly, is hot and absolutely delicious

Amazing food and service, highly recommend!

Very nice meal and highly recommend

Receptionist was very rude claimed I ordered something else. Food took ages and was very cold when it arrived. Think twice at ordering from here.

Probably the worst food that I've ever had. We ordered 2 boxed meals, one being sweet & sour chicken. It was delivered from Oakwood in approximately 20 minutes, which is quick to say the least. After plating up the sweet & sour and cutting into the first piece and regrettably not checking, I initally noticed the bad taste, and then that it was pink in the middle. I cut into second piece and found the same. We also ordered a pancake roll, and it was noticeabley greasy. I wasn't going any further with the 'meal' and binned it. We won't be wasting £25 again.
