  “Had food from here a while back and it was bland, thought I’d give it another go tonight and just had chips and curry sauce…. Chips ok but curry sauce no flavour what so ever, was like thick water. Go and get some mayflower as that taste more Chinese than what I just had. Won’t go again”

  “I went here on new yrs eve on my way home from work for the 1st time, and I feel compelled to warn people never to go here. I ordered pork balls with curry sauce, mixed balls with sweet and sour sauce, they were disgusting, overcooked, shrivelled, tasteless, just disgusting, inedible. Prawn toast that was soggy, like it had been sat in fat after cooking, that to ended up in the bin. Beef curry and fried, ate half of that because I was hungry, the worst curry I ever tasted, there was also a chicken fried rice that was also tasteless. As a result I would never return, and I only went here because I didn't have cash and you could pay with your card.”

  “I ordered a chicken curry with egg fried rice and a mixed meat chow mein (beef, chicken and prawn). The curry was full of flavour, the sauce thicker to my usual preference, but very tasty. The chow mein had plenty of beef and chicken which was delicious, but not many prawns. The chow mein was good but could have had more soy sauce to give more flavour. Also received a bag of prawn crackers and vegetable samosas to add to my meal. Overall a good meal to eat and saved a night of cooking 🙂 Welcoming staff in a clean and tidy shop. You’re also able to see your food being cooked whilst you wait.”

  “Only been here a few times now and we’ve not had a bad dish, you can watch them cook it up in front of you (so you can see the cleanliness of the kitchen). Staff are friendly. Tasty and good value for money.”

  “We have ordered from this Chinese since it has opened and the food is always lovely, I'm not sure what has happened,new chief?? New service? However, I ordered a chiefs special chow mein, usually comes in a bigger portion to noodles, It didn't this time same portion box as rice/noodles, totally tasteless, watery, luckily I ordered a side curry sauce! So at least I could eat noodles. What has happened????”

  “So, I have been ordering from here for years, but tonight the food along with the service was shocking. My food took a long time to arrive, almost an hour, which is unusual for Lai Yin, but when it did most of the meals was cold including the chips and the food had to be microwaved. I literally live about 4-5 mins away from the takeaway so having cold food is a little concerning. Anyway back to the food, so we noticed the samosas were very dark and greasy and not crunchy but very soggy along with the spring rolls which were also soggy and cold, same with the chips, this was probably due to sitting around in the bag getting cold, who knows? Also the chow meins were very dark in colour along with the rice and food wasn't as tasty as it usually is. Now for the kicker, so one person in my party had a chicken fried rice that had to be microwaved as it was quite cold, after they plated their food and began to eat it, on the second mouth full they heaved and pulled out a black hair from their mouth, this was wrapped around a piece of chicken, this grossed us all out and all the food got spoilt as it put us off all our meals, so it all ended up in the bin and we ordered from elsewhere.. Lai Yin should be ashamed! We will no longer order from here again I'm afraid as the service and the food quality was abysmal, tonight Lai Yin you let yourselves down!!”

  “chow main tasted burnt and was very very dark in color. Fried rice tasted like it was stale and very tasteless. crispy shredded chicken wasn’t edible at all. And as for the lady that takes the orders at the counter she needs to learn some people skills!!”

  “We have been using this Chinese for years and the food is fantastic but the last 2 weeks the girl who takes the order is very rude. Her attitude is horrible … yeah! yeah! yeah! that’s all she says then puts the phone down literally before you finish talking .. wonder if anyone else has notice. The other girl was lovely…”

  “Tried this place and was delighted by the food. I had sweet and sour chicken with fried rice excellent. My husband had chicken curry and fried rice also excellent. Unlike the Hong Kong inn this place accepts cards and easier to park. Food was made fresh. Highly recommend.”
