Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often single out the food at Blue Lake, describing it as excellent, authentic and "always spot on," with one comparing it to Hong Kong. Specific dishes named include beef and black bean, duck with bamboo shoots and water chestnuts, chicken chow mien, sweet and sour chicken balls, and mushroom foo yung, plus a banquet meal called flavourful, balanced and well paced. Close behind is the family running it, called warm and welcoming, with several praising pleasant staff and one noting a large group booking handled with ease. Guests staying near Gatwick mention reasonable prices, easy parking and a comprehensive menu, and the takeaway earns repeat praise. Criticism is limited but concrete: one diner found the BBQ spare ribs tasteless and felt the takeaway had gone downhill since a good order the year before, and another said the decor could do with a makeover. One Chinese New Year Eve delivery took 90 minutes, yet the diner still had leftovers for brunch the next day.

    “We have eaten at the Blue Lake Chinese restaurant & takeaway in Horley for many years and the food is always very good. The family are fantastic, warm and welcoming. These family businesses are great within our communities, its important we support them as much as possible above any large chains. We just had a banquete meal tonight. It was flavourful, balanced and well paced. We've had Chinese in various parts of Europe and we've always enjoyed the food and service they offer. If your staying around Gatwick to catch a flight, Blue Lake is worth a visit. The takeaway is also very good.”
