Customer Review Summary
The chicken curry with fried rice, often ordered as the special box, is what reviewers mention most, and opinions on it split sharply. Fans call the food delicious and freshly made, and one says it ruined the Chinese they had used for six years and now goes almost weekly. The beef curry is called beautiful, with one praising its thick, spicy sauce. Others found the chicken curry sauce bland, one comparing it to a microwave meal with no seasoning, and another calls the chicken dry because it is double fried in batter. A sweet and sour chicken with thin noodles was described as full of flavour. Portions in the small box and foil containers draw comment, and a couple say it costs more than other Motherwell takeaways. Several came after seeing the shop on social media, and staff are described as lovely and friendly with short waits. One reviewer who travels from Whitburn says the food has always been piping hot by the time it gets home.

“Nice place quick service and the food was lovely would recommend it for takeaway food”

“Was intrigued to try after seeing on social media so made the travel along M8/M74 First thing that hit me was shop was really busy which is a great sign staff were lovely onto the special box B Chicken Curry/Fried rice this was served in quite a small box to my suprise but within box it was packed with Chicken and rice onions and sauce. I wasn't a big fan of the curry sauce was bland in my opinion and that could be just me feeling that way. As I said portion size in small box was good maybe better putting it in bigger tray just a thought. Overall I would still recommend Mayflower to anyone as I seen its a busy shop clean and tidy and possibly just me being fussy 👀😳”

“Seen them on tiktok and tried them. Wow they ruined our normal Chinese we have been going to for 6 years. IT IS DELICIOUS we go almost every week now. Staff are amazing, service is great and food is always roasting when you get it.”
- Jules Braile
“chicken is genuinely so dry. they take already cooked chicken and then double fry it in their batter so it's just the dryest most flavorless thing imaginable.”

“Gutted was buzzing to try this place after watching their videos for years, Got the chicken curry fried rice chips curry sauce one box, Chicken was nice and tender fried rice was cooked well but wow this is the most bland meal I can remember having for a long time, It reminded me of one of them microwave chips and curry lol, there was 0 seasonings couldn’t even taste salt was like baby food. My gf got thin noodles chicken sweet n sour sauce that was excellent and full of flavour small portion tho , Curry sauce is the heart of a Chinese there’s no way they’ve gotten all this attention with that sauce again can’t get over how bland it was my palate is fine btw!”
