About Asia House
Asia House is a Chinese takeaway on Tile Hill Ln in Coventry, run on a walk-in basis with no reservations. The menu covers a salt and pepper munchie box, often paired with a pot of curry sauce, alongside salt and pepper chips and chicken wings. Chicken chow mein is commonly ordered alongside the munchie box, and ribs appear as a regular side. Chicken balls and spring rolls come with curry sauce as well. The sweet and sour sauce follows its own recipe, apart from the usual version found elsewhere. Orders are typically placed by phone, with calls answered by a woman at the counter.

Customer Review Summary
The salt and pepper munchie box draws repeat praise, with reviewers describing it as generously sized and enough to feed two, often paired with a pot of curry sauce or an added chicken chow mein. Close behind, several single out dishes like beef in sweet and sour sauce, satay chicken skewers, chicken balls, and Yuk Sung as tasty and fresh, and spare ribs get a mention even from an otherwise critical review. Sauce quality splits opinion though, with one reviewer calling the sweet and sour recipe badly off while others rely on curry sauce as their preferred pairing, and one review describes chips as old and stale with dishes poorly cooked overall. Delivery reliability is a recurring complaint too, with one detailing a two hour wait, an undelivered order despite being marked out for delivery, and over a hundred unanswered calls, despite calling the food itself consistently good. Long time customers describe returning weekly or across many years for the pricing and food.

“Food was genuinely bad - chips were old and stale, all dishes were poorly cooked and had a below average taste. The worst chinese take away ive had in my 30 years of life. Only thing that was nice was the spare ribs. Genuinely surprised to see other 5 star reviews”

“The food is really nice here, very tasty, generous sized portions BUT the sweet and sour sauce is really bad and tastes nothing like it should. The restaurant really needs to change the recipe because for that alone I’d have to go somewhere else because it’s a staple of my Chinese food order. Sorry guys! If you’re more of a curry sauce kind of person then this place is a must. If sweet and sour is essential then don’t go here.”

“We get a Chinese here about once every 2 weeks. The salt and pepper box is the best deal you’ll get. Although the egg fried rice is quite small, the entire box is enough to feed 2 quite substantially. I really enjoy the salt and pepper chips and chicken wings. The ribs are good to gnaw on and the curry sauce is a good pairing for the chicken balls and spring rolls. If you have a bigger appetite I would recommend another serving of their salt and pepper chips. Comes out to £20.60 including delivery. Would 100% recommend. Delivery is quite speedy as well”

“I placed my first order this evening and went for the beef in sweet and sour sauce, a portion of chips with green peppers, and a side of water chestnuts and shrimp crackers. The food was absolutely delicious, arrived quickly, and was piping hot. Everything was spot on! I highly recommend it and will definitely order again. A very satisfied customer! Thanks.”
