Customer Review Summary

Regulars of many years return for food they say arrives hot in good portions, with the big spring rolls described as a meal on their own and the dry ribs praised for size. Reviewers also single out friendly staff on the phone and behind the counter, and one family fed six with leftovers. The picture is far from uniform, though. Others report dry, chewy ribs with a bbq sauce that tasted like black bean sauce, dry chicken chow mein, and garlic butter chicken that was not nice. Longtime customers describe delivery turning slow, with food arriving stone cold. One reviewer reports finding a hair in the food, and another describes being refused delivery by a rude staff member and alleges racial profiling. A further complaint concerns refused delivery after an alleged rudeness to a driver. One diner who asked for special rice with no pork found pork in it. The money for the rice was refunded but not the curry, and the food went in the bin.

    “I’d give Jade East Chinese a solid 9/10. The food is always really tasty and arrives hot, and it’s definitely one of the better Chinese takeaways around the area. The flavours are great and the dishes are consistently good, which is why we keep going back. It can feel a little on the expensive side, but the quality of the food makes up for it. There’s also a friendly lady behind the counter who’s always full of chat, which makes the place feel welcoming when you go in. Overall, a really good local Chinese and easily one of the better options nearby.”

    “Absolutely disgusting experience. Found a hair in my food and that was already enough to put me off, but honestly the food itself was terrible anyway. Everything tasted old, greasy and badly cooked. Zero hygiene, zero quality. I don’t know how this place is still open. Definitely won’t be coming back and wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.Absolutely disgusting experience.

    “⸻ Absolutely the worst food I have ever had. This cannot even be called food – completely inedible, tasteless, and disgusting. Ordering from this place was a total waste of money. If you are thinking about ordering from here, DON’T. The only thing you will achieve is throwing your money away and staying hungry and disappointed. I honestly don’t understand how this restaurant is still in business. Never again, and I strongly advise everyone to stay far away from this place.”
