  “We switched from another takeaway to Taipan a few years ago and we really like it. They have a set menu for one for around £10 which is a meat dish of your choice, egg fried rice, 6 chicken balls and s/s sauce. Good value. I can't recall it ever being anything other than delicious. The gentleman who takes the orders always gives a lollipop to the kids, usually also pops some fortune cookies in too. They are cash only...but they do take bank payments - they have their bank details by where you pay but they are very close to Tesco so if you need cash theres a machine there. A happy customer 😊”

  “I ordered egg fried rice and what I received was boiled rice with a teaspoon of egg what a joke plus the chicken balls was hard in the middle of them and the whole complete food was absolutely disgusting and vile I wouldn't even give to a dog let alone a homeless person that best thing for them to do is close down for good as this has to be the 8 time I have tried them so all I can say is AVOID THEM AT ALL COST”

  “The food is very tasty and the price is very reasonable. We really enjoyed our dinner, especially the special fried rice, separating the rice and vegetables is really good.”

  “I don't really understand all the negative reviews for this place. Been coming here over 15 years when I'min the area. I always order a chicken chow mein, sweet n sour chicken balls, which are full of chicken with plenty of sauce. Sometimes I have the peking ribs, veg spring rolls, sweet n sour chicken Cantonese style, salt n pepper chips or the chicken noodle soup. All really well priced compared to others and the free prawn crackers over £30 and you get free calendars around Christmas time. Great little Chinese takeaway with a 5* food hygiene rating!”

  “Service was poor very grumpy. Food was below standard - chips no joke were like they had been there for a week! Very greasy poor quality products. However price was cheap so maybe you get what you pay for? Shame most of it ended up in the bin”

  “They used to be good but everything has been going downhill for a while. The chap who always answers the phone is very grumpy, which is never a good start. The food has always been lower quality than other places in the area, but I've been happy with that as their lower prices made it good value. Unfortunately the food quality has now deteriorated to a point it is no longer good value. Everything tastes the same, regardless of what dish is ordered, and that taste is bland across the board. It's as if they have reduced the variety of ingredients they are using. Portion sizes are also reducing. The sweet and sour chicken balls, for example, came with enough sauce to only have with about half of the balls. Finally, the guy who now takes orders, aside from being grumpy, is pretty useless. He doesn't listen, gets things wrong or misses them entirely. Overall, it is no longer acceptable quality compared with price and I'll be going elsewhere in future. Such a shame, they used to be very good!”

  “Absolutely disgusting food, ordered duck noodles, was all slimey grey duck skin, no meat, chicken balls was still pink, and the beef in the beef curry was grey, I really don’t know how this place can stay open, vile is an understatement, pic of duck out of noodles for proof.”

  “Used to visit here and loved it. Was back in the area and decided to use them again but it was rubbish. 3 meals ordered, two of which had chicken that had clearly been cooked separately from the rest of the meal because it was stone cold vs the super hot veg. Not a huge fan of the boiled chicken over pan cooked, but none of them were great tasting and we ended up throwing away to be replaced by cereal. I won't be visiting again. Also note it's cash only.”

  “Great reasonably priced food. Fast friendly service. Recommend the giant spring roll, just one is enough! Free bag of prawn crackers if you spend over £20. Cash only.”
