“The worst service I’ve ever had. At 6:30PM, 1hr 20m had passed at this point, so decided to give a call to the restaurant to ask how long the food would take. Before I had even said a single word, the lady was already shouting your food is on the way down the mic, no hello nothing. She proceeds to keep telling me she’s not shouting and even arguing with me about that. She wouldn’t even let me get a point across to the point where it became a shouting match. The icing of the cake is she gives the worst apology you can give someone and then abruptly cuts the phone. I decided to call her back because the level of customer service needed to be addresssed at the end she says “ fine if you’re not happy with our customer service go somewhere else”. Well I will, but this is why it’s a 3 star restaurant, not only this the food isn’t great. If it were possible to give -5 stars I would. This is beyond any experience I’ve ever Had at a restaurant - the poor service happened on the 31/01/2026 at 7:40-7:50pm. Order was at 6:30pm It’s now 8:08pm and still nothing.”

“Do not order from them. I am begging you. The customer service is poor and they have cockroaches There was even a dead fly in my sweet and sour.”

“Used to love Gah Shing it was our go-to Chinese spot in East London years ago. Visited again after 8 years and honestly, the food was awful. Chow mein and fried rice tasted super artificial, like chemicals instead of seasoning. Chicken satay had no satay flavour at all — just boiled chicken, tons of onions, and thick, horrible sauce. Feels like the place has changed hands. Whatever happened, the quality is completely gone. Worst Chinese food I’ve had in a long time. Won’t be going back.”

“2nd time ordering, think i found my new favourite chinese. No complaints food very nice.”

“Literally the worst Chinese I've had in London so far. The chilli salt chicken wings were refried so many times they were mostly inedible and had to be thrown away. @Gah Shing please note: adding honey to oyster sauce does not create BBQ …”

Customer Review Summary
Most reviewers report disappointing food: chow mein and fried rice that tasted artificial, chicken satay described as boiled chicken in thick sauce, and chilli salt chicken wings refried until inedible. One describes a delayed order, then a phone call where the staff member shouted and said to go elsewhere. One repeat customer found the food very nice.
