About China Kitchen
China Kitchen is a takeaway at 1 Sandown Rd in Port Talbot that combines a Chinese menu with chip-shop food, so a single order can draw on both. The Chinese side includes Singapore chow mein and salt and pepper chicken. Poppadoms, curry sauce and rice are offered alongside the Chinese dishes. On the chippy side, chips are served in boxes rather than wrapped. Ribs and chicken balls round out the Chinese list.

Customer Review Summary
Longtime customers who have ordered for years describe a recent slide, and the most repeated complaint is hard, chewy meat. Reviewers cite chewy salt and pepper chicken, dried ribs, and rubbery noodles with an undercooked chow mein. Cold food comes up often, including cold rice, and one household only minutes away still got cold dishes. Others found the food bland or tasteless, the curry sauce inedible, the poppadoms soft and the chips hard and dry. One order arrived without prawn crackers, and a first-time customer thought the bill ran high compared with another local Chinese. Staff are described as nice and accommodating, and a few reviewers say they have never had a bad meal. One calls the Singapore chow mein out of this world, and another says the chips were really nice. Still, a crispy beef that came half full, not crispy and without sauce, went straight in the bin, as did another household's whole order.

“Ordered crispy beef. When I got home and opened the container it was only half full and the beef wasn't even crispy, just small pieces of beef and no sauce. Very chewie no taste, went straight in bin.”

“Singapore Chow Mein was out of this world. Is there a new chef?”
- Ellis Robinson
“First try of this place tonight after a recommendation and the last time we will be too. £35 when another local Chinese is usually £24 for exactly the same order, food was bland, salt and pepper chicken was really chewy and it didn’t even come with prawn crackers after spending that either. Staff seemed nice enough but I don’t recommend the Chinese food here”
