Customer Review Summary
Noodles are the dish reviewers argue over most. One diner recommends the Singapore noodles, homemade dumplings, chicken balls and egg fried rice, with portions big enough to leave leftovers. Another calls the chicken chow mein dry, with shredded chicken, too many noodles and almost no sauce, and a third found the noodles overcooked on both visits. Others praise the takeaway as proper British Chinese with decent portions and good value, hot food arriving before the quoted time, and enjoyable starters, though one says quality depends on the chef of the day. The sharpest complaints come from longtime customers of 15 and 18 years, who say the food has declined, one linking it to the change of ownership. Reviewers describe burnt chips, sweet crackers, burnt dishes, and rubbery chicken in the sweet and sour. One found the crispy chilli beef still stuck together from being frozen and reheated, and air fried the mushy chicken balls and spring rolls to fix the texture.

“I have been ordering from loon Wah for over 18 years. Omg… it ain’t the same anymore. I ordered from them when they 1st changed ownership, it was awful food, but gave them benefit of the doubt and ordered again last week and it was …”

“It's good. Had its ups and downs but ordered take away again tonight and was very nice. I guess it depends on the chef of the day. Usually get mostly starters and were very enjoyable.”

“Proper British Chinese takeaway. Good food. Decent portions. Good value. Free delivery over £15 locally and not by the awful justeat mopeds.”
- Fast Rev
“What an absolute disgrace, I have lived in Barnet all my life and this is by a mile the worst outcome I could ever write for you. (SEE PICTURE) The chicken Choi Mein was absolutely vile. The chicken was in chunks and shredded and there was not much of it. There were too many noodles and hardly any onions and poor quality chicken. The sauce was non existent hence very dry. The other dishes ordered were burnt. Sweet and sour dishes tasted like the chicken was rubbery. I despise being ripped off and was embarrassed to see my guests leave the food.”
- Jason Greaney
“Ordered 5 meals yesterday most of the items were overcooked had no seasoning the crackers were sweet the chips were burnt and dry like they were yesterday's. I can honestly say that I haven't had a Chinese like this I didn't even finish my main meal what a shame. The only part of the mill that was okay was the board rice. Stay away waste of money.”
