  “We ordered the Chilli BBQ ribs, Crispy Chilli Beef, Sweet & Sour Chicken, and Beef in Black Bean Sauce. Delivery arrived exceptionally quickly and food was hot. Everything was at least a 9 or a 10 apart from the Black Bean Sauce dish which had a fishy taste to it. Ordered again and have to change the review from a 5 to a 4. Ordered the Szechuan Duck and it was all carrot with an INTENSE fishy smell and taste to it. Perhaps avoid if you are not getting the classics.”

  “We ordered a delivery 3 hours ahead of time, the food arrived earlier than planned was piping hot, amazing smells and was delicious. Would have liked more sauce with the meat dishes but the rice was so fluffy. My go to Chinese in the city now”

  “This is our usual Chinese takeaway and it's normally absolutely fine and arrives a lot fast than expected, but one of us had prawns in their chow mein last night and has been in stomach agony all night and today and is now throwing up. Prawns gave him food poisoning!”

  “Food is okay but staff can’t handle simple orders. Asked for three small things, got home, realised they had got one of three wrong, came back to ask for the correct food and the woman behind the counter attempted to scold me for her own incompetence. It doesn’t help as well to have a child attempting to take orders behind the counter. Being able to take responsibility for mistakes is pretty crucial, it’s a shame the staff are lacking in this.”

  “I picked up some noodles on my way home - £6 for a huge portion of singapore noodles, was worried they wouldn't take card but they only have a minimum of a fiver. Noodles took 5 mins to get ready and they gave me some free prawn crackers!! Really good noodles very happy”

  “Just ordered £20 worth. 2 chicken chowmeins, 1 sweet and sour Hong Kong style, 1 portion chicken balls. I rang the order in at 9.21pm the phone call lasted just under 2 minutes as I paid by card which took it to 9.23pm. Food arrived at my door 9 mi Tues later, food was only warm and vegetables not cooked. I will not ever be getting food here again.”

  “I used to love swallow house! But since the new ownership/ Different cooks, I think it's gone right down hill! Food is tasteless. Half the containers full with food, (so unsure why am paying full price for half a dish!) £40 on an order but can't give prawn crackers out. Menu states FREE bottle of coke on orders over £30! No coke either. Please be aware when ordering from swallow house what is displayed on menu is false advertisement! Don't want anyone else to be as disappointed as I am! I have been a good customer for many years but certainly will not return! As this is the worst Chinese I've ever eaten!”

  “Been using these for as long as I can remember, always loved it, ever again, it was cold, the Crispy Fried Chill Beef, was neither chilly or crispy, was so chewy it was disgusting, no longer take care payments on a Saturday as it's too busy, surely it's quicker to take a card payment than hang around for the cash at the door?? Keep serving food like that & you won't have the too busy problem, such a shame as it was my favourite, I didn't realise until reading the reviews it had changed management 🙄”
