Customer Review Summary
Reviewers split sharply on New Chow Kee. Those who praise it call it the best Chinese in Hartlepool, citing great prices, reasonable waits even when the shop is busy, and proper homemade chips. A few say it is their family's regular, and one orders it the day they return from holiday. Friendly service gets a mention too. The chips are also where complaints gather. One reviewer describes them as soggy and greasy and not very hot, on a second disappointing visit. Another reports blood on a chip and gravel in the bag. Other critics describe BBQ spare ribs that were mostly gristle with nearly raw onion, chicken in black bean sauce with a few thin slices in a watery, tasteless sauce, and king prawns that were small and flavourless. One says the prawn crackers tasted of old oil, and another says the food arrived cold with clogged rice. One happy customer suggests asking for mushrooms without gravy, since they come with it by default.
