About Cathay Square

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers are sharply split, and the praise centers on the salt and chilli dishes. Three diners who ordered delivery call the food tasty and say they would order again, naming Salt and Chilli Chicken, salt and chilli chips, noodles and Kung Po Crispy Beef. One adds that staff went out of their way to get an order through during a busy local event. The complaints are more numerous. Several describe late deliveries, including a confirmation estimate missed by a wide margin and a caller told the food was on its way. One collection order was freezing, and the reviewer says only an air fryer made it edible. One snack box had sausages pink inside with black bits, and most of it went in the bin. A Szechuan chicken came with big chunks of chicken and a generous portion of rice, but the sauce was bland, sticky and gingery. Another reviewer says a missing meal for an autistic daughter would not be corrected because the shop was too busy, and was offered the item free another time.

    “Delivery took ages when I called, was told it's on its way. It was like I was an inconvenience spending over £50. First and last time, I would recommend avoiding”

    “This is my first time ever trying Cathay Square. I had read a lot of the reviews that were overwhelmingly negative, and I’ll be honest in saying that it almost put me off ordering, but I decided not to trust them and go for it. I’m so glad I did. I ordered the food at 5:50, and received my order at 6:30, the delivery driver was a friendly enough bloke and now I’ll get to the food. Ordered Salt and Chilli Chicken, Salt and Chilli chips, Noodles and Kung Po Crispy Beef. They were all great. I cannot fault the food what so ever. The price was good and I have to say that despite the bad reviews, I will definitely be back!”
