About Noble House
On Bearsted Rd in Maidstone, Noble House is a Chinese restaurant set in a room with ornate decorative screens and round banquet tables. The tables suit sharing dishes across a group, and the restaurant takes walk-ins rather than reservations. The bill carries an automatic service charge of 10 to 20 percent, added on top of the food total. The round tables and screened room shape the space more than a typical takeaway counter setup, giving the dining room a distinct layout for parties seated together.

Customer Review Summary
Friendly, welcoming staff draw the warmest praise, with one diner of 20 years reporting never having a bad meal and another noting they were fitted in at the last minute on a Saturday night. Food praise centers on crispy duck for two as a starter, followed by lemon chicken, deep fried crispy beef and special fried rice, all called delicious. A takeaway customer found everything hot and fresh and received a free drink. Value is where opinion splits. Several call the restaurant pricey, and one reviewer found the sesame prawn toast small for its cost, the special fried rice tasteless, the ribs salty and the smoked chicken just battered chicken with no smokiness. Others object to the automatic service charge and to being made to pay before the food arrives. One party left after their drinks never came and a staff member said the drinks were on the bar and he was busy. One longtime regular reports that a stand-in staff member turned rude when the service charge was questioned and said the table would not be served again.

“This is a rip off, £4.99 for 4 triangle cut seasme prawn toasts, that's to say £1 each and a single slice of bread costing £4! Ridiculous!!! The portions do not reflect the price. On Saturday I spent £38 pounds here and I wish I had not, no compliment free drink. It's an absolute waste of money and daylight robbery. Small special fried rice, tasteless, the ribs were salty as hell. The smoked chicken was just chicken in batter no smokiness. I truly wish the other Chinese shop was not on holiday. PLEASE DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE until they sort out their portions and favour, best go to M&S, as you will get a dessert, drink and a meal for less than £20 and be very satisfied. Never again.”

“It is the best Chinese bar far. I felt very safe in the new set up when collecting my takeaway they have excellent safety measures in place. The food was delicious as always.”

“Just ordered for the 1st time. As one of the few places that deliver to harrietsham. Food was very hot. And everything had a good and fresh taste. Got a free drink and cup on my order and lady who took my order was very polite same as the driver. Overall a very good experience”

“Last December went to Noble House for the first time in years. Loved the way the staff handled the evening. Over 23 of us in the group and we were all given a separate bill at the end of the evening which included drinks and meal. It was precision.This year it was run as a military experience as patrons were made to pay as you go. This meant that you paid for your meal before you received.it. Not a good experience and I definitely will not be going back. This was a military regime which left a bitter taste. 20% on bill for everything ordered including getting your own drinks from the bar. No thanks Noble House.”

“Absolutely terrible. After over an eternity waiting game to be served finally life !! Drinks were ordered. After 20 minutes some of the drinks arrived !! Our food order was taken. To China it would seem!! The starters arrived and not very well presented and to be honest quite bland. We then ordered another drink. After 40 minutes and the drinks not arriving we politely asked a member of staff to enquire as to the arrival of the drinks. We were told 'they are on the bar and I am busy' Needless to say enough was enough and we left. Give this place a wide berth is my advice !!”
