Quick info
About Koon Wah Chinese Takeaway
Koon Wah Chinese Takeaway is a Chinese takeaway at 48 Hood Rd in Daventry, open evenings only from Tuesday to Sunday and closed Mondays. The kitchen serves fish and chips alongside its Chinese menu, so one order can cover both. A set meal is made for several people and comes with generous portions, including large pancake rolls. Prawn crackers are on offer and work as a dip for the sauces and curry sauce. Payment is cash only, so customers need to bring cash with them.

Customer Review Summary
Pancake rolls and spring rolls are the most repeated draw, praised for a crunchy outside and fresh vegetables inside, with salt and pepper prawn also named as a favourite. Close behind are chicken chow mein, sweet and sour chicken with boiled rice, barbecue ribs and noodles, and fish and chips, which two reviewers rate as the best in Daventry. Reviewers describe food that arrives hot and on time, a set meal generous enough to leave leftovers for the freezer, and friendly, polite staff, including a lovely delivery driver. The complaints are sharp, though. One diner found the food chewy and not very flavourful and was disappointed that no prawn crackers came with the order, while another called a chilli salt box terrible and too small to feed two. One reviewer also reports being insulted and kicked by a staff member while ordering. Two reviewers recommend dipping prawn crackers in the sauce, and one also dunks spring rolls in the curry sauce.

- woo hoo
“never once in my 41 years of life have i ever been publicly shamed and beaten in a takeaway restaurant. the degenerate young they/them who took my order called me a 'skid-sniffer' and roundhouse kicked me into a bin. willing to give a good review because the fish and chips was supa hot fire and my disabled husband was thrilled to see it was accessible.”

“Order from here because it had such good reviews and we are out of town, so we drove to this one. And honestly shouldn’t have bothered. The food was very chewy and not very flavourful. Probably one of the most disappointing Chinese I’ve had, and you don’t even get prawn crackers included even after spending £40”

“I never usually leave reviews, but this place truly deserves one. I travelled all the way from Wellingborough (almost an hour’s drive!) after hearing great things, and it still managed to exceed my expectations. You’d never think one of the best Chinese takeaways could be found in a small town like Daventry, but here we are. Chicken Chow Mein - hit the spot in all the right ways. The noodles were perfectly cooked, the chicken was fresh and tasty, and the flavours just came together beautifully. Honestly, one of if not the best I’ve ever had. Sweet & Sour Chicken - absolute top tier. Succulent and indulgent, I genuinely couldn’t get enough. The sauce was perfectly balanced, the chicken tender and juicy. Pair it with their boiled rice and you’ve got a heavenly combination. Spring Rolls - phenomenal. That perfect crunch on the outside, with fresh, flavourful vegetables inside, made for an exceptional bite every time. Easily one of the best sides to order here. The curry sauce was rich and packed with flavour - the kind that keeps you dipping back in for more. I ended up dunking my spring rolls and prawn crackers in it, and honestly that combo alone is worth trying. What really stood out besides the food was how genuinely lovely the staff were. Super polite, friendly, and just easy to talk to. You can tell they actually care about their customers and take pride in what they serve. It makes the whole experience that much better. After the drive and all the hype, I can honestly say it was completely worth it. Great food, great people, and a proper hidden gem in Daventry. I’ll 100% be back next time I’m craving Chinese :)”
