About Nippy Tung
Nippy Tung is a Chinese takeaway in Motherwell, at 8-10 Windmillhill St. The menu is Chinese and covers noodle, rice and curry dishes, including chow mein and a beef curry. That curry arrives with rice, chips and prawn crackers, so the sides come in the same order as the main. Salt and chilli chicken is also on the menu as a chicken dish. Nippy Tung works on a walk-in basis, so customers turn up and order without booking.

Customer Review Summary
Beef curry is the dish reviewers raise most, and opinions split sharply. One visitor from Glasgow calls it second to none and praises the customer service, while others describe a thin, watery curry sauce, a portion that looked like half a serving in a rice-sized dish, and only small shrimps in the prawn version. Price is the dominant complaint. Several reviewers say a basic meal of curry, fried rice and prawn crackers costs far more than at nearby takeaways, and a few say they will go back to those instead. Some still call the food tasty or great. Other dishes draw criticism too: a gelatinous, sickly sweet beef Cantonese, fried rice that was overdone or full of lumps of egg, salt and chilli chips with no chilli, and shredded crispy chicken that tasted like fish. Order errors recur, including missing prawn crackers and a drink, and chicken black bean sent instead of beef. One reviewer says staff told them prices had not changed in years.

“Ordered a Beef Cantonese, Fried Rice & Prawn Crackers. The Beef Cantonese was a gelatinous mess full of onions & pineapple and it was sickly sweet. The Prawn Crackers were hard. The Fried Rice which is hard to mess up was average. Will not be spending any money here again.”
