The best restaurants serving Chinese food in South Lakeland North West

A fairly small, simple and quaint restaurant, but excellent value and delicious Chinese food. The chicken and sweetcorn soup is some of the best I have ever tasted. Well seasoned and the texture is perfect, as often some places make it way too gloopy. The prawn toast had more prawn in it than virtually every other place i have been, furthermore you can tell its homemade rather than the oh so common freezer to fryer ones made with a prawn and chicken mix. The hot garlic beef steak was absolutely divine, so tender and spicy, a standout dish. Only downside, the sweet and sour wasn’t great, I have much better elsewhere, but the rest of the food is so good it doesn’t bother me, I just don’t order it anymore! If you have somewhere to eat at home, there isn’t much advantage to eating out at the restaurant compared to as a takeaway as its a simple setting, but regardless the staff have always been very friendly and catered to our needs well. The best Chinese in Bowness/Windermere and it’s not even close! (And trust me, at the time of writing we have been to them all!)

As a local we wouldn’t go anywhere else. Superb authentic cuisine- highly recommended! A family run organisation, we’ve been getting our take aways from Magic Wok for decades!

The westview restaurant itself is a well-appointed small bijou Oriental restaurant. However, on this occasion we attended to buy a carryout meal of Chinese food. Although the food in itself was reasonable, we had once sweet and sour chicken with rice and one salt and pepper chicken with thin noodles. Total price £41 and yes they did charges for the prawn crackers too I believe. Probably the most expensive Chinese carryout I've ever had in my life. Japanese and Korean also available. Food was tasty but nothing that blows your mind and at that price sorry but we wouldn't be back for take out. Maybe to eat in the restaurant that might be okay. You'd expect to believe those prices in a restaurant but not for a carryout, but we knew the prices when we went in and as it is the only one in town, we never had much choice. Perhaps that's why they charge such extortionate prices for takeout food.

It's just a take-away but decently priced and the foods not bad. My only criticism is the sweet sour is overloaded with sugar.

Banging food as always (got the Singapore vermicelli + salt & pepper chips). This is my go-to takeaway when visiting Ambleside. Food tastes great, generous portion sizes, and very good prices.

Just had an amazing meal food was very tasty can’t fault it one of the best meals we have had for a long time might have to squeeze another in before we go home

Best way I can explain this meal is it was like dish water. Worst chinese ive had. Singapore chow mein was soggy and tasteless. Hoisin sauce tasted like vinegar. Prawn crackers were stale. And when I got home my curry sauce wasnt in there. Terrible.

Yes don’t be put off by negative reviews. The best Thai green curry I have ever had .lots of meat and plenty of veg and pineapple with it . Hubby had chowcmein with extra noodles well worth every penny . Dont blame them not taking credit cards.

This must be the worst Chinese restaurant/ carry out in the entire world, they must have thrown them out of china for cooking so badly, we ordered the complete meal for 2 and extra vegetable spring rolls, ok , the ribs were good as was the prawn crackers , the spring rolls were mostly onions , the sweet and sour chicken was just about ok, don’t get me wrong I got loads of chicken, the chicken curry was probably the worst curry in the entire world, bland watered down tasteless some kinda sauce , but never curry, , the rice was bland to , only went here because after looking up the best one to go to ( the Rainbow) it was closed , so we seen this one open and said we would try it , should have read the reviews first or went to the chippey , the young lad taking the order nice and quiet, the older man ( delivery driver) was a really nice man , well seeing he wasn’t rushed of his feet , but we didn’t know as we were on holiday, but don’t go

Spent £38 on a selection of grub, king prawn chow mein, special fried rice,bean sprouts, chips, 2 cartons of curry and salt & chilly ribs Poor Quality ingredients with no taste across the lot ..... chips white and undercooked, but worst of all the ribs, if they were ribs at all, cooked in batter they are rank!

Worst chinese I've ever had. No effort what so ever. Just go hungry it's not even worth visiting here

To be honest not good at all, had duck, chow mein etc, prawn crackers seemed old duck was not good undercooked and fatty rice not good the meal as a takeaway seemed bland when the slat and pepper chips were the best part it says it all, we picked it up and the young man seemed not interested and weird,wouldn't go there again

Visited here for a late night takeaway. Food was alright, place is a bit dated but the staff were friendly, just your average Chinese.

Food was very nice, prices for food and drink are very reasonable. Restaurant was clean and the service good. Could do with a little more atmosphere although I have to admit we were Pretty much the only customers in there! We ordered the set meal for two - this was more than we could eat! But was Really nice too

The delivery driver is very polite and the food is hot and delicious.
