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

Very down to earth buffet. Nothing to fancy but the food is something that I can’t keep my family away from. The lovely ladies that are on the shop’s floor are doing a fabulous job and delivering perfect service. They are very kind to any age customers. We have been visiting this confusing name MEXICA Buffet - even though it’s a Chinese 🇨🇳 restaurant since it’s been open in Ricky by - the food never let us down. Always fresh, tasty and delicious. Thank you Mexica BUFFET.

I received such verbal abuse from the owner of this establishment, after complaining for the first time after being a LOYAL customer for years. Fortunately I’ve never dealt with the owner prior to this experience, otherwise I probably wouldn’t have been a loyal customer. We only wanted a small takeaway order, salt & pepper chips. The chips were given and as I walked back to the car I tasted them - the ones I tried were hard inside. I immediately returned and asked for them to be replaced, I apologised whilst asking!! The chef was clearly disgruntled by this and made two new portions. I left with the fresh chips, however I noticed the normal ingredients, onions and garlic were missing. I didn’t have time to ask for the chips to be made correctly again after waiting 40 minutes, so i phoned on my way home. The lady asked what should she do and I said suggested as a goodwill gesture the chips should be covered in my next order as these are still not what I paid for. I was told the owner would call me later to discuss - if needed. I received a call from the owner awhile later. The owner first told me that there was nothing wrong with the chips and all his staff members ate them the leftover returned portions. I asked what benefit would I have to bring uneaten chips back and why he would assume I’d lie for fun? I didn’t ask for anything other than a replacement at this point. I told him I travel far to come to this restaurant and have been coming for years. He said that none of that was relevant. The owner continued to imply I was a liar, shouting that he’s worked for 40 years and he’s now wasted four bags of chips. I told him this conversation is for his chef that wasted the first two bags, however I STILL paid for the two bags of chips I collected so I’m the one that’s out of pocket, not him. He continued to shout at me and not listen to what I had to say. The owner thought it was appropriate to act this way towards me, after I have been a loyal customer for so many years, with staff members knowing my name and it is incredibly disappointing. I am truly shocked at his over reaction for two portions of chips. I won’t be returning. I don’t need abuse when I’m paying such extortionate prices.

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.

Best Chinese for MILESSSS, extremely tasty food and very speedy service with a smile.

Ordered for the first time this evening as we had a takeaway leaflet through the door. Never again. Food was cold had to microwave it, wrong rice. Chicken pad thai was so dry it was all clumped together. Vegetable spring rolls were so flat they looked like they had been hit with a rolling pin. Very very disappointed. £50 wasted. Avoid at all costs

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.
