“Whilst the food is nice, if you are ordering for a quick delivery, please dont - go and collect or go elsewhere. I asked the App to deliver "ASAP" to find it was a 1-1 hr 20 wait. I called to cancel to be told it would be 35 mins. Not true. It arrived after 1hr 15 mins. When I complained I was told it left the restaurant after 25 mins. No deduction from bill allowed, just an offer on next time. £40 for cold food, why would I risk this happening again?”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Recommended! We ordered from this Chinese takeaway last night and it was an absolute delight from start to finish! The chicken noodles were honestly the best noodles we've ever had — perfectly cooked, full of flavour, and so satisfying. The chicken satay was incredibly tender and juicy, with just the right amount of sauce. You can tell they use good quality ingredients. We also tried the Hong Kong hot and sweet chicken, and the preparation was spot on — crispy, flavourful, and perfectly balanced with that sweet heat. The takeaway packaging was excellent too — everything arrived hot, fresh, and well-sealed with no leaks or spills. Really impressive attention to detail. We'll definitely be ordering again soon. If you're craving proper Chinese food, this place is a must-try! 👌”

“Big fan of Tai Pan! The food is consistently delicious, full of flavour, and always hits the spot. Delivery is impressively fast, and everything arrives piping hot, just like it’s fresh out of the kitchen. …”

“Taipan Restaurant won me over quietly, without any drama—just good food doing what good food should do. Every dish felt thoughtfully made, comforting rather than flashy, and satisfying in the best way. What truly stood out was the cosy atmosphere. Warm, calm, and inviting, it made the meal linger a little longer, like a conversation you don’t want to end. A place where you eat well—and leave feeling gently content.”
