The best restaurants serving Chinese food in Three Rivers East of England

We often go here for lunch and it is always good. Yesterday we ordered a delivered take-away. It arrived exactly on time and was delicious.

Used to be a go to for halal Chinese but unfortunately was let down on our recent visit purely because service came across as very hasty, aggressive and was very pushy when it came to ordering. A real annoyance was the receipt being in Chinese and without the pricing and upon asking for clarification, was merely met with hostility by the waitress. It’s a shame because the food is very good but the poor service has put us off returning

Staying in the tree house 5 minutes from here in the car. Ordered food. Was absolutely fantastic. Special rice. Lemon chicken. Salt and chilli chicken. Spring rolls 🔥 10/10. The lemon chicken was best I've had.

Had a horrible recent experience here. I understand it now under new management. Rice was stoggy and the prawns caused me to have food poisoning.

The food is not great. The chowmein has no bean sprouts, just onion. That’s the only vegetable in the chowmein, onion. The noodles were so so dry. The salt and pepper chicken was over fried. Chicken balls were just soaking with oil. Really not great.

Only one word. AMAZING! All of the available dishes were tasty and also a lot of choices for vegetarians. My personal FAV is definitely the Special Fried Rice

I gave this lot the benefit of the doubt because their food was generally ok - nowhere near as good as the restaurant Pin Wei that sadly closed down next door. Twice in a row, they have let me down to the point of no return. Last Saturday evening, ordering food online on the website, I ordered food at 6pm. I was told it would be an hour, which is quite a long time. I was happy with it though as they had managed expectations - we had four young kids to feed in the house. The food took over two hours to arrive and despite me calling at least 4 or 5 times I was told the driver was “on the way”. Food finally arrived over two hours later, after 9pm. The following week I thought that maybe the website was the issue, and therefore i would call and place an order. I was told by the same lady that the food would take 30 minutes to arrive. Five phone calls later, and having threatened to cancel the order, it arrived an hour and 40 mins later. The food is ok, no problem there. But I’d advise anyone who wants to actually taste it to place their order now for next weekend, because they have no concept of time and the two hour long waits for food ruin your evening. “He is on the way” “No, he’s not”

I was hoping for an oriental food treat but viewing the restaurant all the chefs where Pakistani's immediately I knew this was not authentic Chinese food furthermore it was halal and no pork dishes as id expect to see in a chinese restaurant. I tried the Manchuria chicken but it was really poor, I don't think these people know how to do it properly. I won't recommend going.

Our first experience of Paya was very good. I’m surprised to read so many negative comments, but we ordered early on Saturday evening which might help. The prices seemed a little high, but the portion sizes were massive - easily enough food for 2. Next time we will share. The food was hot in both senses, delivered quickly and nice and spicy. We received complimentary prawn crackers too. We have struggled to find a Chinese takeaway we like since moving to Ricky so we’re happy. Will definitely be using again.
