The best restaurants serving Chinese food in East of England

Have frequented Great Wall for many years and always had great take aways but not this time Ordered Salt and Pepper platter for first time - I was unsure initially as this was in a labelled pizza box but as I was ravenous I opened it to find a mass of chips interspersed with 2 chicken balls 2 spare ribs spring rolls shredded beef and 2 King prawns and started eating and the chips were the only thing freshly cooked all the rest was dry and just about edible - either overcooked or been under a heat lamp some time I rang Great Wall to give feedback directly and spoke to a lady who initially said she would get the manager to ring me but then advised the manager had just come in - she spoke to him and he would not talk to me and told her to state this was always freshly cooked - I reiterated that this was not the case - I have cooking experience - he kept telling her to say freshly cooked but would not speak to me - I assumed this meant he had no concern at all- I asked the lady to advise the manager that Great Wall had lost a customer of many years standing and that I would tell this experience to everyone I met and that this will go on social media

Possibly the worst Chinese take away we received. Duck was extremely fatty, boiled rice was rock hard, noodles were disgusting to the point all food was thrown away! Also to add 1.5 hours late with delivery!!!!! Do NOT recommend!!

Recommend to try. Satay chicken was amazing. Cant wait to go back.

What I can I say? Yumi Yumi delivers! quite literally. The food is insanely delicious super fresh and bursting with flavour. Best Chinese locally by a country mile. I’ve been wanting to leave a review for a while now but always forget after my food coma. Super quick delivery!! Always look forward to a Friday night. Recommended!

I treated my son to dinner here whilst visiting him in Colchester. To start we shared Crispy Duck which was lovely. Next time we’ll treat ourselves to their really traditional Peking Duck! To follow I had Crispy Noodles with Seafood and my son had Beef in Black Bean Sauce with Singapore Noodles. All were delicious with huge portions - everyone was taking food home. Service was excellent. We’ll be back.

Luke the bartender made my day! Lovely cocktails and food, would highly recommend!

Ordered a takeaway after browsing their extensive vegan menu. Food was ready in half an hour for collection. Everything was piping hot. Food was delicious 10/10 best Chinese meal I’ve had since being a vegan. We had mushroom chow mein, vegetable chow mein, crispy chilli vegan ‘beef’, sweet and sour vegan ‘prawns’, mock duck and pancakes, seaweed, vegan ‘chicken’ satay, spring rolls, vegan ‘chicken’ balls and curry sauce, garlic tofu and broccoli, banana fritters and vegan fried rice. We loved everything except the tofu in the garlic sauce the tofu was a bit watery but the broccoli in the same sauce was delicious. Would recommend highly! Upon collecting it was confirmed without even asking that it was all vegan! Thanks Fortune Garden

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.

We originally visited this restaurant 5 years ago pre covid, the restaurant closed for eat in & only opened for takeaway. Both my wife & I were pleased to visit a couple of days ago & expected the food to be as good as it was pre-pandemic, we ordered the dishes that we wanted & in only 3 minutes the food arrived, the food had been pre-cooked & heated up so it was Not freshly cooked & had no taste to it. Where as I recommend this restaurant 5 years ago I would advise you NOT to go there now, the food is tasteless & not worth eating.

Excellent oriental food with plenty of seating and great menu options available. Very friendly staff helping to add to the experience. Public car park at the rear just off the high street.

This place should be shutdown, the food tasted awful. No plates given to eat food off. I had to eat my food off the hot-plate. I would rather stick pins in my eye than eat here again. It’s also very expensive. Check food hygiene rating. We have been to many Chinese restaurants whilst working away and I’m sorry to say this is the worst.

Beef curry was very tasty. The sweet and sour chicken balls were delicious. The sweet and sour sauce was gorgeous. Crispy shredded beef was okay.
