About NICELY
Pork drives the menu at NICELY, a Chinese restaurant on Smithford Way in Coventry, where cuts and preparations stretch well past the usual, from Double Cooked Pork With Chilli to Chilli Fried Sliced Pig Stomach for anyone hunting something less common. Braised Pork sits alongside them, and the wider list of 42 dishes draws on cooking from different regions of China. Char siu pork with noodles or chow mein is a regular order, and portions run large. The kitchen turns plates out quickly after an order goes in. Tables are taken on a walk-in basis, and the restaurant opens daily.

Customer Review Summary
Generous portions and quick service anchor the praise, with the Char Siew Chow Mein and sesame prawn toast named as satisfying, the toast dipped in sweet chilli, and a spicy chilli oil singled out for real heat. Close behind, one reviewer loved the spicy rib hotspot, and another was shocked that the meal arrived within minutes of ordering. Reviewers also call the food authentic, with dishes from different regions of China, and one received a free plate of prawn crackers. The complaints carry real weight, though. Two reviewers found dishes too salty and full of MSG, and one sent back two dishes. Others say the value falls short: a seafood and preserved egg congee arrived as boiled rice in water with seafood sticks, crispy pork with noodles came out as char siu, and a roast duck had a foul odour. One reviewer reports raw prawns in the fried rice, and another describes dirty dishes and a chicken soup that looked like dirty water, then was charged for the whole order after leaving before a second dish arrived.

“Too salty and full of MSG return two dishes was undedible not the right place if you got heart issues. For the portion size not enough meat and little veg not good value for money. Try other eateries next to eachother.”

“I loved the spicy rib hotspot ; it was cooked perfectly. The service was quick without feeling rushed, and the overall value for money was good.”

“I ordered seafood and preserved eggs congee, and received boiled rice in water with some seafood sticks and a few pieces of preserved eggs. The worst and the most expensive (£10.80) congee I’ve ever had. Congee is one of my favourite …”
