About Merlin House

Merlin House is a Chinese takeaway on Albert Road in Chatham, run for collection and delivery with seating on site. Orders are placed by phone or at the counter, and the menu covers the familiar Chinese takeaway range, from salt and pepper dishes to sweet and sour favourites. Regulars tend to find the staff know their usual orders, and the business has served the same neighbourhood long enough that multiple generations of the same family have ordered from it over many years. Portion sizes run on the large side, and free extras are sometimes included with orders. It operates as a walk-in, and the food holds its heat well through a roughly 20-minute journey home.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers return to Merlin House for food that arrives hot and freshly made, with portion sizes several call good. Some have ordered for around 20 years, and one says the older lady who answers the phone knows their order by heart. Staff are described as lovely and friendly. One family received a couple of free extras for the kids. A single reviewer says quality has gone down massively.
