The best restaurants serving Chinese food in North East

The soup was hardly any noodles and just broth broth. 3 bits of chicken. Disappointed. Not worth it. Could have had something better for the money.

Had a week in Hexham and ended up most nights earing here 😀! Nice service, always friendly and decent veggie options including a huge rice noodle dish (sometimes comes with egg so state if you want that or not when you order, menu says no egg..). Huge curry too and all good value here. I can't comment re take away but eating in was all good

Food was amazing service was excell

Llevamos a amigos visitantes de Canadá para una cena a mitad de semana. Todos pensamos que la comida y el servicio era excelente y volveremos pronto.

The best Chinese in Durham. Friendly staff and fast delivery ♥️

Muy amable y acogedor. Una gran variedad de comida. Un montón de opciones veganas. Los mejores chow mein de pollo vegano y tortitas de pato vegano que he probado.

Great menu,always cooked perfectly

Very good singapore fried rice friendly people.

We had a lovely takeaway - ready to collect in 15 mins and very tasty. Good sized portions and piping hot too. Would definitely go again

We preordered a takeaway it came just a few minutes early was pipping hot and one of the best Chinese meals I’ve had. The price was unbelievable cheap. Will definitely be ordering again.

Had a hotpot with my friend, perfect food, few drinks would highly recommend if you’re looking for an authentic Chinese meal.

I ordered a jacket potatoes with beans why did you add butter

I honestly believe that if we hadn’t actually gone into the shop (reluctant to as it was packed and no one was wearing masks) to ask where our food was I think they’d still be in making it? Rang up. To be fair. They said they were busy. A good hour and half later still no food. This place has simply nose dived in terms of the service and food. I kid you not. It was literally stone cold when we got it the 3 minute walk home. What happened to it? It used to be good service and tasty food? Steer well clear unless you order several days in advance. Actually. Just stay well clear. Awful awful awful!!

Undoubtedly, this restaurant serves the most authentic Chinese cuisine in Middlesbrough. However, if you crave chop suey or house specials, this might not be the ideal place for you, as they specialize in more traditional Chinese dishes. They also have a standard English takeout menu, for delivery, but its only ok. However the sit in menu is extensive, featuring various unique dishes such as beef aorta, jellyfish, offal, and chicken feet. During my visit, I ordered the Mongolian lamb, and my partner opted for the braised tofu dish. Both dishes were exceptional.

Oh dear....how the mighty have fallen. We used to visit the King Neptune when my wife and I first met...30+ years ago. It was EXCELLENT!! and we were regulars there. We haven't been for around 15 years to be fair but thought we'd celebrate our wedding anniversary there. What a mistake. The Neptune used to have a fabulous large fish tank, a real centrepiece!....now gone and just a gap where it once took pride of place. The room is also starting to look a bit worn and tired. We went a la carte rather than 'banquet' style and ordered : Prawn toast, chilii salt squid as starters then chili salt king prawns, szechaun chicken, crispy beef in cantonese sauce and fried rice. Drinks were 2 small proseccos and a pint of John Smith's. The good - the chili squid, chili king prawn and fried rice were very good indeed. The bad - They don't supply chopsticks!! Only forks, I mean REALLY?? No chopsticks in a Stowell Street Chinese?? Forks only. They also don't have the heating plates they used to, the metal tray like contraption with small candles underneath to keep the food hot. Now they just plonk it in front of you on cold plates so it cools down quite quickly , not great and the food suffered as a result. The crispy beef was average at best, and became just ' yuck' once it cooled down and coagulated, I left half of it. The Szechaun chicken was just okay with no real flavour to it at all. Prosecco came in a tiny 200 ml bottle at £7.20 each!! Really? You can buy them at £2-2.50 so a fiver mark up is ridiculous. The John Smith's was £3.90, a fair price. Service is also weak, only 3 people serving in total and we had to keep reminding them they'd forgotten both drinks and one dish. Bearing in mind it cost just over £83 this was a completely forgettable experience, honestly no better than a decent quality takeaway meal. If this was a Chinese 'cafe' or lower end eatery and set us back £45-50, then I'd say it was okay, nothing more, but for a Stowell Street 'top end ' place to eat, an absolute letdown. It just looks run down with zilch atmosphere - and what is it playing Abba songs in a Chinese?? - disinterested staff and the fact that when we left at 9.10 only 7 people were eating at 3 tables sums it up. We won't be going back, sad to say as we had such great memories of the Neptune, and unless your idea of a Chinese restaurant is no atmosphere, no chopsticks, average food at top end prices and disinterested staff, you're probably better off eating elsewhere.
