The best restaurants serving Chinese food in England

It is said that war is long periods of boredom punctuated by moments of sheer terror. In this regard Hi Lo Jamaican Eating House is similar to war. But as Sun Tzu writes in the Art of War, "be where your enemy is not". At 11pm on a Friday night my enemy was certainly not there, and neither was anyone else. I was very excited to go to Hi Lo Jamaican Eating House due to the reviews posted here. They range from 1 to 5 stars but are almost entirely concentrated on those two ends. 5 star reviews will tell you it is a life changing experience where you will make friends for life and be entertained by the rambunctious proprietor. 1 star reviews warn of abuse, terrible service, and the rambunctious proprietor. On TripAdvisor several reviews flag a serious safety concern. Unfortunately on my visit I experienced none of this. Just a profoundly boring evening in a strange bar with a dead and hostile atmosphere, drinking room temperature bottled Guinness foreign export. In this regard it has failed even to fail me correctly as the 1 star reviews told me it would. Other reviews mention food but when asked they apparently don't do it anymore. The bar is silent unless you pay money in the jukebox, which paired with its emptiness just makes it kind of creepy.

Just moved to rothwell 5 weeks ago and we’ve tried every Chinese in the area and this is the best Chinese in Rothwell

Food always gets served warm and stays warmer for longer compared to other takeaways

Nice and juicy chicken balls, Amazing spicy chips!!! scrumptious! definitely will go back again!

Always order from here. Never had a bad meal in years.

I think their dishes are very nice. House special chow mein and salt pepper spare ribs are my favourite.

Staff are very kind and always happy to help with anything. Food is always quick and full of flavour. Definitely recommend the salt and pepper chips.

Superb Chinese, been using them since the 80s, never had a bad meal yet. Tastes great, good portion sizes and order always correct. Cannot recommend enough 5*

The food was not very good quality

Nice big portions. Taste is good as well but I was surprised to learn that they didn’t make chilli oil. Very unusual for a Chinese takeaway for not having such basic item.

ordered prawn toast no taste of prawns at all tasted like they had just put mashed chicken instead couldn't eat tasted awful

Highly recommend. Food is excellent.

Service was good and fast. Food was bland and dry.

Fantastic menu with great service and top quality food.

Always quick delivery, delicious food, lots of choice and massive portions. Wouldn't go anywhere else!
