Customer Review Summary
Sweet and sour dishes come up most, with reviewers praising crispy, tender sweet and sour chicken in a balanced sauce with fresh vegetables, and sweet and sour pork balls from another order. Close behind are steamed prawn dumplings, called especially tasty, along with crispy chilli chicken curry with fried rice, salt and pepper chicken wings, chips and big rice bowls. Several mention generous portions, and one describes a friendly restaurant and fast delivery after a problem with a phone number. Complaints are real, though. One reviewer found the lemon chicken incredibly sweet, the prawn toast super oily and the Peking ribs disappointing. Another received a special curry ordered without seafood that was mostly mushrooms and onions with meat they could not identify. Others report rude service and wrong orders, and one felt the wing portion of four was too few. One regular says paying by card got them a worse deal and advises bringing cash.

“Lemon Chicken was incredibly sweet. Tasted like I was eating solidified 7UP/Sprite. Prawn toast was super oily and the Peking ribs weren’t it.”

“Food will have you on the toilet because the chef is dirty and probably serving you chicken from the floor. Customer service is horrible. They're very very rude and don't understand you half the time. They will get your order wrong half the time also. Pick a different shop for sure!”

“I bought chips and salt and pepper chicken wings with two spring rolls. Everything tasted so good and fresh, but I would have liked more than four wings six would’ve been perfect.”

“It’s hard to find a good Chinese take away these days. It’s kind of a gamble. I have become picky with shops that I go to. I have however visited this place fairly regularly now. Once I paid with card and I believe I got less of a better deal so I advise always bringing cash. These guys are genuine with what they do and they do their best, quite clearly.”

“This was my first time ordering from Good Friend Chinese Takeaway, and I was thoroughly impressed. The dishes were authentic, full of flavor, and tasted exactly as they should. It stands out significantly from other local Chinese takeaways, this place genuinely caters for my tastebuds. I will definitely be ordering again and highly recommend giving them a try!”
