The best restaurants serving Chinese food in Brighton and Hove South East

Called to enquire about the buffet listed on their website, person on the phone was rude stating they only did hotpot buffet and wouldn’t explain what that was, before I got a chance to ask any more questions about the menu the person on the phone cut me off halfway through talking said bye and hung up, I don’t know who would run their business in that way and disrespect customers on the phone, absolute no go for me

Is China China still open? I went down there with a business friend two Saturday’s ago- peak evening time - and the restaurant was closed. I called the China China number just now and the message was Number Unobtainable. One of my favourite, fun restaurants in town. Hope it’s only a temporary closure.

We had an early dinner and we were the only diners so the restaurant lacked atmosphere. They were however a stream of deliveries going out so it looked good We have a very tasty meal with all the dishes of good quality

Firstly we did not get off to a good start although I am not going to let that influence my judgement on the food. My partner phone ordered food for three of us that the woman on the phone said was £41. We collected ourselves and my partner parked down the road and I walked to the shop with £41 and left my handbag in the car. I go in, our food is ready and hand over the £41 we have been told it is, the owners son? Then tells me that it’s £41.30p and instead of letting me off the 30p and handing our food over makes me walk all the way back to the car to get the 30p whilst our food is getting cold! Unbelievable. If you are going to let your kids do front of house then at least give them some training in how to treat customers. The annoying thing is that I would have brought £41.30 if the woman on the phone had said it was this amount! All three of us were just flabbergasted that they wouldn’t let a customer ordering £40 worth of food off a paltry 30 pence. We had the fish starter box which was the worst thing we had, everything was quiet dry and over cooked and the spring roll had too much pastry and not enough filling which was a shame as the filling was good. I had a prawn dish as a main, a nice amount of big good quality prawns, but instead of a nice mix of vegetables with them, it was mostly onion with just a small amount of carrot and spring onions. The meat dishes were better with a generous portion of duck in the duck dish. Prices are very reasonable for the size and amount of protein in them, but on the whole not a patch on Tongs who were originally here unfortunately. We wouldn’t rush back here, customer service left a lot to be desired and the food was mediocre.

First time ordering tonight (Tuesday). Stayin with the inlaws in Brighton. Impressed with quality & speed of delivery. Would defo order again.

We had a lovely take away from this restaurant last night, this is the 3rd time we've used them and the food has been consistently good. It's also so nice that they have their own delivery driver, so you don't have to faff around on an annoying 3rd party app to get your food (normally cold!).- our food was delivered hot and on time, by an extremely well mannered driver. The prices are also very good- well done Li's Sizzling House, keep up serving us all lovely food with great service.

On first impressions, the outside of the restaurant is not inviting at all. In fact, it’s off putting, however when you are in inside the decor is lovely. Plenty of room for us and a pram. Food was yummy, slightly pricey compared to other Chinese restaurants I’ve been to but portions were big. Would recommend.

Ever wondered what it’s like to pay restaurant prices for food that tastes like it came in a plastic bag? Wonder no more—China Garden has you covered. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by a décor that screams “1994 called and it wants its wallpaper back.” The atmosphere is so flat, I half expected to hear tumbleweeds roll by. As for the staff, let’s just say if charm were currency, they’d be bankrupt. It’s less “dining experience” and more “grumpy food handover.” The food? Spectacularly mediocre. Imagine your usual Friday night takeaway… now double the price, halve the flavour, and serve it at warp speed. Blink and you’ll miss your meal—and any chance of enjoying a relaxed evening. Although, with the vibe inside, maybe fast is merciful. To be clear, this isn’t a restaurant. It’s a Chinese takeaway with seating—if you’re into disappointment with a side of soy sauce. And just when you think it’s over, the bill arrives, helpfully reminding you that service charges aren’t included (don’t worry, we noticed). Decline to tip and brace yourself—you might just get escorted out with the kind of attitude that makes you wonder if you’re on a hidden camera show. In short: save your money, your tastebuds, and your dignity. There are plenty of places that actually want your business

The crispy duck is delicious from here, my only improvement to it would be a bigger pot of plum sauce.

Good food. Reasonably priced. Really friendly, helpful staff. Would recommend 👌

The Chicken Chow Mein noodles were sticky as though they had been in a fridge, there weren't enough bean sprouts and the chicken was barely visible, small splinters of dark meat. We asked for a meat spring roll but got a vegetarian one. They only take cash too which is inconvenient and a bit suspicious. Won't be going back.

nice portions, nice flavours, all of us were happy.

Our favourite local Chinese! Super friendly staff, food is delicious and quick

Ordered food from here on the 20th December. The food was delicious, the best I have had since moving to Brighton. Singapore noodles, chicken balls, were very filling and the quality was top notch. The delivery was quick and the staff were friendly on the phone. Would highly recommend.
