About @toppings - Chinese / South East Asia Food
On St Sepulchre Gate in Doncaster, @toppings serves Chinese and South East Asian food as a restaurant and takeaway, with dishes cooked fresh and made in front of customers rather than prepared in advance. A share box option lets a group build a stuffed selection to order. The menu includes crispy duck, sweet and sour Cantonese style chicken, chicken sesame toast, and sweet chilli chicken. The food is halal, and the drinks list runs to alcohol alongside soft drinks. It opens daily, takes walk-ins rather than bookings, and is run by a couple. Payment is cash only, so customers should come prepared. The location sits near Doncaster's railway station and city centre, useful for anyone passing through or eating before travel.

Customer Review Summary
Crispy duck is what reviewers return to most, served on chow mein, egg fried rice or with a chilli topping, and one reviewer calls the portion big enough for two. Close behind are the sweet and sour Cantonese style chicken, the sweet chilli chicken and the chicken sesame toast, which one reviewer calls fabulous. Others praise the share box, the stuffed box and a 4-in-1 box, with several describing generous portions and good value. Food is described as fresh and piping hot, and one reviewer mentions a special Chinese spice topping. The owner and her partner draw repeated praise as friendly and welcoming, and one says they will make any dish to requirements. The one drawback comes from a reviewer who describes the decor as rough but homely, with handwritten signs and cardboard boxes, and who notes the place is cash only. Another reviewer says a swap on a share box order was no problem at all.

“I decided to try this place tonight and ordered the crispy duck with chilli topping on egg fried rice and the capital sauce and some chicken toasts. And wow absolutely beautiful so tasty and delicious far better than any takeaway. The portion was huge enough for two people. I would definitely recommend and will order again. The lady that served me was lovely explained the menu and advised on portion size showing to me that she genuinely cares about the food she makes and ensuring it doesn’t go to waste. Very nice food 10/10 for me”

“I had about an hour and half train change in Doncaster in the evening, and, not knowing the city, it was a choice between this place, Greene King, or Cosmo. Very glad I picked here - confirmed cooking time on arrival and they stuck to it, I had the mixed veg tofu and 4-in-1 box, very well fed for just £12. They took my Scottish money, which was a plus. The special Chinese spice topping was great. Staff were friendly and helpful. The atmosphere and decor are rough but homely, think handwritten signs everywhere and cardboard boxes. That's a sign they focus on good cooking in my opinion, but if you're going on a posh night out, I'm sure you can find somewhere tidier and more boring. Cash only.”

“We have tried other Chinese places but no one compares to Toppings - we drive past about 4 other chinese places to get to toppings because it’s worth it!! The couple who run the restaurant are just so lovely too. We love coming in and getting to say hello. Last night we ordered a share box and swapped some stuff out for other things but it wasn’t a problem! We will always support Toppings!”
- Aaron Smith
“1st time here. What a genuine and wonderful hidden gem. The owner was so pleasant, helpful and kind. Stayed back to ensure our order was fulfilled and the food was absolutely stunning. Generous portion sizes, great value for money too. This is definitely our new local and regular chinese takeaway. Would highly recommend to anyone”
- Tom Spence
“I went with the Sweet Chili Chicken today and it was a total winner—the perfect balance of flavors. But honestly, it’s the service that makes this place special. The owner is always incredibly welcoming and so easy to talk to. If you’re looking for a spot with amazing food and even better vibes, this is it. 🙌”
