About Terracotta
On Mill St in Newtownards, Terracotta is a Chinese takeaway serving the evenings only, every day of the week. Orders are placed and collected on a walk-in basis, with no reservation process involved. Payment is cash only, so customers should plan for that when placing an order. Among the regular orders, chicken fried rice comes up often as a repeat choice. The setup keeps things straightforward, geared toward quick collection rather than sit-down dining, and the daily evening hours make it a consistent option for people looking to pick up Chinese food after work or later at night.

Customer Review Summary
Chicken fried rice is the dish reviewers mention most, though opinions split sharply: some call it good value alongside friendly staff and great service, while others describe it as pale and soggy, or unateably salty. Close behind, the salt and chilli chicken draws praise, with one reviewer crediting a staff member for making it well. Several diners report more serious problems, though, describing food that seemed rotten or days old, including dried out salted chilli ribs and a duck in plum sauce so fatty, with a sauce tasting more like sweet and sour, that it disappointed. Delivery is a recurring friction point too: one reviewer waited over two hours for food described as not fresh, and another was told they'd be charged twice after only one of two ordered deliveries arrived. A few also describe calls where the phone was simply hung up on, and staff called ignorant during a dispute over that extra delivery charge.

“Tried to order food twice. Phone was lifted. Phone put down on me. Why can’t you just say sorry. Taking no orders. Rude to put phone down.”

“Excellent food was on point. And service was great.”
- James Brown
“Food was rotten. Delivery took over 2 hours. Food is not fresh at all, clearly from the previous day or days. Won't be ordering from here again. Prices are shocking also.”
- Rachel Neilly
“The duck in plum sauce that I had was unique... unfortunately not in a great way... the duck was incredibly fatty and the plum sauce looked more like a sweet and sour with the flavour being unconventional but not to my liking. My parents had chicken fried rice and a gravy chip... apparently it was good”
