The best restaurants serving Chinese food in England

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.

Just had takeaway from happy valley. Chips were like cardboard absolutely crap. Chicken chow mein was ok no spice at all. Chicken curry was ok. Total dissapointment. Cant seem to find a decent chinese takeaway after dave retired from chung ying.

First time using and we were really impressed. Would definitely use again.

Walked in for a take away….initially ignored at the desk…informed of a wait..fair enough. Collected the food…awful. Stodgy rice, dry chicken, noodles terrible…..non of it appeared particularly fresh. Will not return. Much better elsewhere. Very very disappointing indeed..

Always get our takeaway from here and always been fantastic so for our anniversary we decided to try the restaurant. It was a Wednesday so only ones there but there was a constant flow of take aways. Service great and food perfect. Will be back on our next occasion

All the food inside the naan wrap was ideal but the bread was too dense/ heavy bit of a shame

Food turned up warm , spring roll was full of oil , curry sauce was a congealed lump , chow mein was dry

Me and my friends are regular customers and they always throw in prawn crackers. They must have a new staff called Nicola and because we were £1.70 off the £30 she said no. We’ve always have been given these. When I questioned it she was abrupt, rude…absolutely shocking after we’ve spent so many orders with my friends at china kitchen. Terrible customer experience.

Amazing food, great service. It is a shame they have now clised becayse if retirement. I wish them well!

Visited this particularly welcoming and intimate restaurant alone on the off chance there might be a table available for just myself on a Saturday evening. I was warmly welcomed and a gin and tonic was swiftly brought to the table. My server recommended a dish and helped me navigate the menu. Crisp, fresh prawn crackers came with a good spicy chilli sauce. Meaty, piping hot spring rolls accompanied and the main course vegetarian dish comprised of crisp, fresh, pipng hot vegetables in a birds nest basket with a tasty salty soy based sauce. I couldn't manage it all and two of the three spring rolls were kindly wrapped for me to take home. All in? £25. Great value and a most enjoyable experience. Thanks to all🙂

This has closed, and re opened at Rings End, March Road, called Mama Tree ( previously called Oriental Garden). Signs are up stating that a Carvery is about to open.

We came back to 88 as the first time we visited was August for a birthday, and it was excellent. We were seated down at a table and asked what drinks we would like, then the server brought us our drinks and the menu. We had a look through the menu for the £13.99 special for Wednesday, Thursday, or Sunday. It was on the back, when the server arrived we started to tell him what we would like, he then said " oh I'm sorry, we are unable to do the special menu until after new year. He told us he would do something similar to the special, when we asked would the price be the same he said we would be charged the full price for whatever we wanted, we decided to leave the food as the special was the only reason for our visit. We went to the bar and my partner told the server that he should have informed us that we couldn't have the special as it was off the menu for the time being as soon as we walked in before taking our order for drinks. I was charged £6 for drinks, and we didn't eat there. The server was at front of house taking all the flack for not having the special menu on, but was it was still advertised in the window and on line, while the owners were in the kitchen not answering to their customers. Needless to say, we will NOT be going back there again, and I would not recommend this Chinese to anyone. They have clearly misled customers and are not willing to even give you a complimentary drink for not informing you when you go in that you can't have the special menu. To say it was disappointing is an understatement, the poor server took all the comments while the owners were in the kitchen away from and disgruntled customers. Had to wipe my feet on the way out as the carpet is that dirty your feet stick to it.

Once my partner and I tried this place, especially their specialty squid, we couldn’t stop coming back! The food is absolutely delicious, always fresh, and full of authentic flavors. We love Chinese food and have tried many places, but this one stands out as the best! The portions are great, the staff are friendly, and the service is excellent. If you’re looking for top-quality Chinese food, this is the place to go. Highly recommend – 10/10!!!

Try and avoid tax by not accepting card

Great Chinese Ordered mild chicken curry, egg fried rice, chow mein, mushrooms in sauce. Came with small bag of prawn crackers. This was enough to feed 3 adults and a toddler. Would recommend 100%
