About Full River
Full River is a Chinese takeaway on The St in Norwich that takes its orders by phone. Payment is cash only, so customers need to bring cash when they collect. Curry is served without rice, which is ordered separately, so anyone building a meal should add it to the order. The menu includes large pancake rolls, prawn toasts and king prawn fried rice. Phone orders are ready at the time the team gives when the call is made.

Customer Review Summary
Portions and cost draw the most complaints. One reviewer calls the portions puny, with tiny tins for most dishes, and another would like a little more meat. A third says a curry comes without rice, so a curry with rice costs around a tenner. Others mention that there is no delivery and that only cash is taken. One long-time customer says recent food tasted very peppery with a bad aftertaste, and one order of chow mein arrived missing the prawns and extras that were ordered.

“puny portions compared to most take aways, tiny small tins for most dishes, ridiculous especially at city prices.”

“We had King Prawn fried rice and China Chop Kam and they were delicious. Good quality, nicely cooked king prawns and mixed meats. Telephoned the order and it was ready on time.”

“The food is always lovely at full River and the service is always friendly with plenty of humour. The only thing I would say about the full river is that it is quite expensive compared to other Chinese Takeaways. For instance, if you ordered a curry, you do not get any rice with it. So curry with rice, You're looking around a tenner. But as I say it's worth paying a bit extra because it's so tasty.”

“Full River used to be one of the best Chinese takeaways in the area but lately it has been very poor, Most of the food I have had recently has tasted very peppery and really not good leaving a bad aftertaste in your mouth, Which has very much put me off getting future food there, which is a real shame as it really has been great Food for the many years that I’ve used it”
