About Sunny Express
On New Road in Rickmansworth, Sunny Express is a Chinese takeaway built around collection and delivery orders. The menu runs to 41 dishes, including a Mixed Starter and spare ribs prepared three ways, barbecue, capital, and salt and pepper, alongside Sesame Prawn On Toast. Orders are taken on a walk-in basis at the counter, with no reservation process involved. The shop opens daily but only in the evenings, keeping its hours to that single window rather than spreading across the day. The range extends beyond the headline items to cover the wider set of dishes typical of the format, giving regular customers a rotating set of options across the 41-item list. Collection and delivery remain the two ways to order.

Customer Review Summary
Portions and speed draw the most repeated praise, with reviewers describing orders as piping hot on arrival and generous in size, and vegetables noted as fresh and not too greasy. Close behind, friendly staff come up more than once, including one account of free prawn crackers added to an order, and one reviewer who still returns even after moving away from the area. Set against this, a recurring complaint about accuracy and consistency runs through several reviews. One diner ordered duck in black bean sauce and received chicken instead, with extra onions and less meat than expected. Another describes a repeat order as bland and lacking flavour compared with an earlier visit, while a third calls the food fairly average despite good portions. Phone ordering draws a separate complaint, with one reviewer describing two calls in which staff could not follow the order or locate the order number, ending in the call being abandoned. One reviewer notes a sauce mix-up, curry instead of sweet and sour on a chicken ball order, that still turned out well.

“I ordered a duck in black bean sauce, however, they gave me chicken instead. There were also lots of onions and less meat in my order. Friendly service but won't order from this place again in a hurry.”
