“(UPDATED 2026) even a full year later I’m absolutely delighted with my service and food from shiney row chinese, prices have gone up slightly but presentation and overall quality in food gets better or is the same consistency it’s always had. great establishment and lovely people delivering so all round 10\10. I have been absolutely delighted with my service from Shiney Row Chinese this evening. a lovely woman answered taking my order with patience and knowledge. I ordered a 12’ salt and pepper pizza box and was absolutely blown away by the sheer quality ( and weight ) of this box meal. the chicken balls are crispy and tasty. the spring rolls, rice and ribs are very flavourful and the chips were to die for. all arrived within 15 minutes of ordering by a very nice delivery driver. I honestly can’t fault anything about my experience tonight which is rare in this day and age so you’ve definitely earnt a new customer and I’ll be telling everyone in my circle. if you’re in need or looking for a reasonable very heavily portioned Chinese. Packed with flavour with a side of good customer service. you need to try this place.”
