Welcome Chinese Take Away
Quick info
About Welcome Chinese Take Away
On North Rd in Clacton On Sea, Welcome Chinese Take Away serves Chinese food for collection, with no seating area on site. Orders are placed by phone ahead of arrival, and the kitchen typically has food ready within a few minutes of that call. The setup favors walk-in pickup rather than table service, so customers phone in their order and collect it shortly after arriving. This phone-ahead approach keeps the process quick for anyone stopping by on North Rd rather than settling in to eat.

Customer Review Summary
Speed is the most repeated draw: reviewers describe orders ready within minutes, food arriving piping hot and on time, with the House Special Chow Mein singled out as a big, delicious plate at a reasonable cost and portions called good sized and not over salted. Several compare prices favorably to other local takeaways. Close behind, phone staff are called polite and reliable. Set against this, close to half describe inconsistency: one reviewer found a pickup order tasting reheated rather than freshly cooked, another describes rubbery chicken and a chow mein that was mostly bean sprouts swimming in sauce, and one recounts being ignored mid order while staff dealt with something else in the shop. One reviewer reports food poisoning affecting three people in the household after a chicken and egg dish and says a refund would be sought. Regulars keep returning for the quick, hot orders and friendly phone service, while others describe throwing meals away after only a few bites.

“Have always ordered from welcome Chinese but last couple of times hasn’t been fantastic but I thought I give it another go rang up for pick up they said 10 minutes I only live around corner walked straight around there 2 minute walk got there food already waiting for me got it home it didn’t taste freshly cooked hope it’s ok as my mum of 87 ate it but very disappointing Sunday at 6.30 not a over busy time but nothing worse when you eat a takeaway and feel you have completely wasted your money got to take more pride in what they are serving up”

“Ordered from here 3x now the other 2 times was decent but Yesterday I spent £45 woke up today all 3 of us have food poisoning throwing up also bad belly so glad my children refused to eat it. They need to check the dates on chicken and their eggs as soon as they open I’ll be calling for a refund.”

“Just got a takeaway from here !! It was the worst Chinese food I’ve ever had .. I literally had 2 mouthfuls and threw it away in the bin where it belonged! I think three people have given up , the food is awful.. avoid this place. I believe it needs closing Down .. it looks very dirty and tired inside too”
