Customer Review Summary
Chips are the most frequent draw, from chips and curry sauce to salt and chilli chips, though one reviewer found them horrible. Close behind is the banana fritter, called great, along with beef in black bean sauce, king prawn curry, mushroom chow mein and a pancake roll. A vegetarian found the vegetable noodles and vegetable curry good in quality and flavour, and one reviewer likes that larger portions cost little more. The ribs draw the sharpest criticism, described as dry like leather and like eating fatty jelly, with the BBQ and salt and chilli versions tasting the same. Others report a gloopy special fried rice, chicken that tasted off, and a garlic chicken like a frozen meal, and one says staff called them liars when they complained. One reviewer reports being unwell after the sweet and sour chicken, and another found a chip inside a banana fritter. One diner shared an empty tray as proof of finishing the beef in black bean sauce.

“Food was lovely, HOWEVER, when I ordered the banana fritter, there was a chip inside. Not the biggest concern, however the cross contamination was not satisfactory. The girl at the front was very welcoming and patient with our order. I would come here again.”

“We thought we’d tried jumbo house as a lot of Chinese’s are closed on a Monday. I really wish we didn’t bother! People that rave about this place or genuinely enjoy this food have never eaten a good Chinese that’s for sure 🤣 Never cheat on your normal Chinese if you’re thinking of trying somewhere new!!🤣 My partner ordered a special fried rice and I’m just going to add a couple of photos and I don’t really need to say much else. What an earth is that? Absolutely swimming in whatever that gloopy stuff is. The chicken products tasted off & were poor quality.. all the food was just funky tasting and not enjoyable. £40 in the bin!”

“Tried Jumbo house for the first time, can’t speak for any of the meat/fish dishes as I am vegetarian, but the quality and flavour was great! Vegetable noodles, vegetable curry, rice and chips”
