Customer Review Summary
The criticism is detailed and recurring. Several describe the special fried rice as a small portion of plain boiled rice with a few prawns and bits of pork. Others report cold food, crispy seaweed that tasted stale, and spring rolls that were just pastry. Sweet and sour chicken and crispy chilli beef are described as having no sauce or taste, and the chicken chop suey and bbq spare ribs as tasteless. One reviewer says the sweet and sour prawn balls tasted of chemicals and made them feel sick. Another found the meat pancake rolls full of beansprouts and dripping in oil, not just pork and prawns as described. One reviewer notes that only cash or bank transfer is accepted, and another threw away the special curry after a single spoonful.

“Picked up some salt & pepper chicken , just frozen crap deep fried really foul , the chow mein was ok , the special curry was dreadful and when I mean poor this took the trophy . Disgusting is was had 1 spoon full and had to be thrown away , look at reviews before your order people , that was my mistake that I didn’t .”

“I have been coming to Lots of Rice for many years now and I always make sure to stop by whenever I come to Borehamwood. Easily one of the best chinese takeaways i’ve tried. The man in the front who takes your order is exceptionally nice and the food overall is excellent. Will definitely continue to revisit.”

“Omg awful. Cripsy Chilli beef no taste or sauce and looked weeks old. Sweet and sour chicken no sauce tasteless Special fried rice there certainly wasn’t anything special about it boiled rice with a couple of prawns and few bits of pork. No prawn crackers what Chinese doesn’t give prawn cracks lots of rice. New lantern house please don’t go on holiday again. Soooo sad what a waste of £30 odd quid”
