The best restaurants serving Chinese food in England

Should’ve checked your ratings on google as apposed to just eat because I personally wouldn’t have ordered from here otherwise. Spring rolls look and tasted burnt. Ordered vegetarian items but was given prawn crackers??? Seaweed was good but you can’t really mess this up. Ordered in advance. Personally not nearly as flavourful as seapearl. Should have just waited for seapearl to open and go after work because they’ve never let us down with food.

Had food several times . I am from India and i went to many shops to get chinese dishes. Finally got this place. Customer service by the owner and chef is all good . Never got tired of this place. You can definitely tell if you need anything you like more or less .

Most disgusting food I have ever eaten and the attitude was it's normal if it is sat on a counter for 5 minutes to become inedible as the Grease just oozes through. We had to throw it in thr bin

I ordered a delivery from here tonight which I have done several times before, even previously leaving a 5 star review. However, on this occasion it was only ok. Time from order to delivery, no complaints but the food was barely warm on arrival & sadly not as tasty as it normally is. I will not be put off from one bad experience but I am disappointed after looking forward to this meal

If there was an option to give 0 starts, it would still be too much. I found a hair pierced through my food and called to report this, I was met with laughs and even them blaming me for it being my hair. I’m ginger and short haired. This as you can see in photos is a very long, dark hair. Stupidly this isn’t the first time I’ve ordered from here so I can only blame myself on giving a second chance. Couldn’t be any worse places with poorer customer service. Do not eat here.

This has been my go to Chinese for decades, now my sons are fans too! They will not get their Chinese from anywhere else. We live to far away for delivery, so we drive the distance to collect. Recommend highly.

Excellent food and staff the food just gets better good delivery service . The man who answers the phone is always polite and helpful

For well over 20 years we have eaten from Szechuan House regularly and considered it the best Chinese take-away in the area by far. We never had a bad dish and the food and service was always wonderful. Sadly, however, it seems to be under new management since we last ordered from there a few months ago. There was no warning or announcement, as far as we were aware, so the first indication of the change was when we phoned to order. Our number has always been recognised by the extremely friendly and efficient Chinese staff, who never had to be told our address. Last week we were answered by a really rude lady with a broad Brummy accent who seemed to struggle with the menu and not even know what was on it. When the food arrived, it was the worst Chinese meal we have ever had. The ribs, normally thick, juicy and in a tasty barbecue sauce, were very dry and fatty, like old meat in a thick, jelly-like substance, like treacle that had no flavour at all but was extremely salty. The spring rolls, normally in a light, crispy pastry stuffed with a fresh, moist & very tasty beansprout mixture, had a thick, stodgy, soggy pastry with tasteless, not at all fresh beansprouts. The prawn toast was just as bad: a layer of very dry, chewy, badly minced prawns with bits of shell in it just sitting rather than spread into the top of very dry toast. Again, it was tasteless but very salty. The pork dumplings were soggy pasty filled with a tasteless, gelatinous mixture, nothing like any pork filling we've ever had before. The Seaweed was overcooked and the fish flavour so overpowering that I gagged. The main courses were also truly awful. Rice noodles with pork (my favourite usually) were dry (the bits of pork that are usually juicy and fresh, were like scrap leftovers that had been sitting around for a couple of days. The Char Siu was not Char Siu at all. Char Siu is actually marinated then roast pork served sliced with a distinctive red colour around the edges and nothing else. What we got was boiled pork in a bland but salty glutinous sauce with vegetables. The beef dish was no better, with dry beef in a very thick very salty sauce that just tasted of soy sauce. The rice was probably the best dish but even that was overcooked but dry and crispy around the edges. I like my food salty and always add extra, to the dismay of my family, but even for me this meal was far too salty, I suppose to mask the lack of taste. To top it all there were no fortune cookies. Suffice to say that, after nearly 25 years, we are having to find a new Chinese takeaway as there is not a chance on earth that we will ever eat from Sezchuan House again, particularly given the 'dodgy' stomachs we all suffered through all night. The food reminded me of the kind of bland tasteless 'Chinese' food, full of monosodium glutomate, that was served in the 1970s when foreign food takeaways were unusual and most Brits thought vol-au-vents were sophisticated. If we could give Szechuan House zero stars, we would. Such a shame.

Great size portions , and good value too

This used to be the best around but the last few times I've used have been awful. Something has changed in the last few years. Charged £5 for delivery for 5 miles. Definitely the last time I will use. £32 in the bin

Great food, takes as long as it takes. Very popular, so expect to wait. Or, go and collect? Love it, great job team :-) Great food!

great family business, good prices and very friendly thank you for good food.

Have brought from here for years but tonight they sent one of the items wrong phoned up and left message to please send correct item or telephone me. Half hour later and no response so called back to be informed that the error was apparently mine even though ordered the same item every time over the years and that was that,. The lady I spoke to was quite abrupt will definitely not be going back and neither will any of my family who also usually buy from here.

Really disappointing experience with this place. First, the lady on the phone was rude (thankfully the guy that delivered the food was really nice). Egg fried rice had no seasoning, barely any egg and just tasted like cheap oil. Vegetable chow main was really bad and had a weird taste, salt and chilli chips had no pepper and no chilli, thai style chicken just seemed boiled and was bland and very watery.

Ordered a dry special chowmein when it came it was just chicken I called them and they said because I asked for it dry no gravy I just get chicken with noodles no prawns pork etc wont be using again as never heard so much bull in my life
