Quick info
About Glenfield House Chinese Takeaway
Ordering at Glenfield House Chinese Takeaway happens face to face at the counter on Stamford Street in Leicester, or by phone, with the owner himself taking orders. The kitchen works through a familiar Chinese takeaway range, and chicken chow mein, special fried rice and the house special curry come up again and again as regular orders. Chicken balls are another repeat pick. There is no booking system, so orders are placed as walk-ins whenever the shop is open. Payment is cash only, which is worth knowing before you set out. The shop trades in the evenings from Tuesday through Sunday and stays closed on Mondays. The owner works behind the counter and greets regulars he recognises, and some customers have been ordering here for years, calling in again when they are back in the area.

Customer Review Summary
The complaints are just as specific and take up nearly half the reviews. Three reviewers describe the chicken chow mein as soggy, discoloured or looking reheated, with sauce that was oily and congealed, and the chicken balls as soggy. One says oil had to be poured off before eating, and another says the dog turned away from the food. One first-time customer was unhappy that it was cash only with no delivery, and another reviewer calls the man behind the counter rude.

“Been coming here off and on for over 16 years. Kinda hard to visit regularly as I live in Australia. It is always a must when we come back for visits. Third time here in 3 weeks. Hopefully we'll get it in again before we leave the UK in a weeks time. I always get the chicken chow mein, my daughter loves the sweet and sour chicken, the special fried rice is also a favourite and my husband enjoys the singapore noddles. Owner has always been chatty and knows his regulars well. Look forward to our next visit”
