About Mayflower
Mayflower is a Chinese takeaway on Church Street in Glenrothes, run for collection and delivery with no seating on site. The menu runs through the familiar Chinese takeaway list, covering dishes such as sweet and sour, curry, and special fried rice, with chips available in a skinny, fries-style cut. Orders are placed at the counter and paid for on a walk-in basis. The kitchen sends out prawn crackers with most orders as a standard accompaniment. Evening opening covers the late trade in the town centre.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers are sharply split, and most of the weight falls on complaints about the crispy chicken. Several describe the batter as slimy and stuck together, with one saying the chicken itself had a plastic texture. Chips come up repeatedly as hard from being recooked, soggy, undercooked, or thin and skinny instead of the usual kind. One reviewer found the Singapore fried rice far too salty, and another called a Thai green curry flavourless with processed chicken. Order mix-ups are also reported, including missing gravy for special fried rice and curry sauce sent instead of sweet and sour with chicken balls, after a phone call asking for extra money over a price rise. One delivery order is said to have arrived nearly an hour late and lukewarm, and one reviewer describes the owner as rude. A smaller group praise the food as the best Chinese in Glenrothes, with efficient service. One long-time customer says the recooked chips have now happened three times, so they had only the curry.

“Awful food, rude owner. Just horrible, food terrible too. Food always undercooked, always given days old prawn crackers. Chicken curry wasn't cooked correctly. Chips were soggy and undercooked. Quite possibly the worst Chinese takeaway in Glenrothes. Avoid”
