Quick info
About Kam Po House
Kam Po House is a Chinese takeaway at 489A Manchester Rd in Accrington, serving a Chinese menu alongside English-style fish and chips. The fish and chips come with mushy peas, and salt and pepper chips sit on the menu as a separate item. On the Chinese side, the kitchen cooks dishes such as chow mein, along with curry and special fried rice. Payment is cash only. Customers collect their orders at the counter, and phone orders are collected the same way, so a line can form at busy times. A keep-warm heater holds food that is waiting for pickup.

Customer Review Summary
Most reviewers come for the Chinese dishes, with chow mein and satay singled out as delicious and the beef described as tender. Fish and chips from the same counter earns praise from several as a hot, decent meal, and a few name the shop as their favourite for both cuisines. Staff are described as friendly and welcoming, and the shop is usually busy, with one reviewer advising ordering in advance. The criticism is specific. One diner found the sweet and sour chicken, noodles and curry special too salty and left most of it. Another called the special fried rice very bland and disliked the salt and pepper chips. A third described the fish as mostly thick greasy batter, served with bullet mushy peas. One customer who had phoned ahead still queued behind walk-ins to collect the order. Even so, regulars keep returning for very generous portions, with plenty of meat or prawns in the Chinese dishes.

“So salty! Such a shame as looked great, service was great, reasonably priced but the salt levels in all the Chinese dishes was too much (Sweet & Sour Chicken / Noodles / Curry Special). We had to leave most of it - maybe it was just an issue this time? Would possibly try again.”

“Our favourite take-away for fish & chips and Chinese food. Very generous portions with plenty of meat or prawns in the Chinese dishes.”

“This is the perfect chippy! Everything is so so so delicious and I would recommend anything on the menu. Thankfully I’m just a 2 minute walk away but if you’re willing to drive 10-20 minutes for a chippy I would recommend”

“Fantastic Chinese takeaway , every thing is very tasty and enjoyable. Good range to choose from. Never had anything bad from here. The two ladies who serve are friendly. Usually busy which is a good sign. Best Chinese in Accrington hands down. If Kam Po did a salt and pepper box it would be even better. If you’re near or live near you have to try Kam Po”

“Worst Chinese food I’ve ever tasted. Special fried rice very bland. Sweet-and-sour pork tasted Old and rotten. Salt and pepper chips disgusting. I feel sick after eating only a small amount. I will not waste my money there ever again on very low quality food. 🤮”
