The best restaurants serving Chinese food in Chelmsford East of England

Sometimes you can be put off by multiple types of food at chains but The BT Chelmsford is great. Jay and Daisy are exceptional at service and making you feel welcome and the food is very authentic and doesn't have that mass produced feel that some of the other chains do Watching it being prepared is great to see and the chefs take their time to get the flavours right Keep it up guys!!

We absolutely love this Chinese restaurant, the app is a great way to order and you can earn loyalty point's and get money off your order. Great food, large portions and excellent service.

Our favourite Chinese restaurant. The best staff and the best food.

Our first visit to the Lantern House. We received a warm welcome and were quickly seated in the main restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious and of high quality. We had a large variety of different dishes including the mixed vegetarian starter platter (this included bean curd, tempura vegetables, spring rolls and seaweed), crispy prawn dumplings, chilli salt squid (really tender), black pepper sizzling lamb (absolutely delicious) sweet and sour pork and various rice and noodle dishes. Portion sizes were very good and there was plenty to take home for a midnight snack / next day treat. The staff were very friendly and helpful throughout the night and made us feel very welcome. We will definately be back in 2025. Highly recommended!

Most of the food was inedible, really disappointed as I usually always order from here! The spring rolls smelt rotten, the crispy beef had about four pieces of beef in it, the chicken balls was salty and the squid was even saltire! Poor!

Went for a meal here the weekend. The restaurant was very clean. The staff we spoke with very rude. Our waiter was very pushy in telling us what we was going to eat rather than what we wanted to eat. We ordered a drink each and then asked for some tap water for the table, well he’s face said it all, he did not like us ordering tap water. ( even after ordering a round of drinks) the food was nice tho no problems there. He then told us we had ordered duck which we hadn’t. And kept saying we have. We said no one has ordered duck on this table to which he walked off in a huff. When paying, the bill hadn’t even hit the table and he had the card machine in our faces waving it around. Poor customer service from him and not even a goodbye or thanks from any of the staff on front desk. Food lovely, Customer service needs improving.

It was my first visit here, the food was excellent and very tasty, service was quick and I'll be back.

This is literally the best Chinese food I have ever eaten 5*

Avoid. We ordered a takeaway from this Chinese on 23/11/24 and were up the whole night with food poisoning. We phoned to complain but they refused to listen or even investigate the dishes we had eaten. We have lodged a complaint with the local council about their food hygiene, but please save yourself and don't order from here!

Went as part of a group of 18 to celebrate a 60th Wedding Anniversary. Wine list was on table so ordered two bottles of Prosecco and a bottle of Chilean white. Was brought a bottle of champagne which I explained was not what I had ordered. I was then told they only had two bottles of Prosecco, one of which was a Rose. Next my bottle of white wine arrived but it was not what I had ordered. I expressed my dissatisfaction with the situation and was told that a recent change of ownership meant that some of the wines listed were no longer available. I said that really was not acceptable. Why on earth put the wine lists on the tables if they know that many of the wines are not actually available. I was then offered some bottles of wine to choose from. One of the bottles offered to me was a Chenin Blanc which is the ASDA Extra Special Chenin Blanc retailing for £7 in the local ASDA store less than a 100 yards from the restaurant. I believe that it is a potential breach of their alcohol licence to sell bottles of wine bought from a local supermarket. I also think that ASDA would not be happy if they knew their wine was being sold in a local restaurant. Whilst all this was going on nobody bothered to ask us if we were ready to order our food - my wife had to go and ask somebody to come and take the order. A lady, who I presume is the manager, kept a very low profile whilst all this was going on instead of taking charge of the situation. Later during the meal I was told that they had "found" two more bottles pf Prosecco. Will never return to this place for a dine in meal.

Had a great meal at Yatzen Contemporary Oriental Restaurant and Takeaway last night. Haven’t been there since before covid and when it reopened for seating in. Lovely food, friendly and great service from the staff and very reasonable price. Will def be making regular visits, thanks to all the Yatzen staff 👏 100% recommend

See picture for the cold rubber things that should be fishcakes horrid burnt flat spring rolls. Chicken satay along with everything was cold. £40 for takeaway for 2 expect much more.

We decided to try this take away after seeing it in the ratings in the Essex Chronicle. We were definitely not disappointed! We have tried virtually every Chinese in Chelmsford and have finally found what we have been looking for - great food, served hot at reasonable prices!! Will be our regular point of call from now on and would recommend to everyone 😊😊😊

the food here is so banging 100% recommend especially the rolls 🤤🤤

meal was lovely and hot and tasty thank you
