Customer Review Summary
Reviewers mostly return for the food itself, with several calling it the best Chinese they have had and a few saying they now order nowhere else after years of using it. Close behind is the willingness to accommodate requests. One diner needing gluten free dishes was offered changed ingredients, and another had a special request listened to. The chefs are described as friendly, and the kitchen is said to prepare orders fairly quickly. The complaints are specific and recur. Food arrives cold even on a two minute walk home, and chips are called over fried. One reviewer received a kung pow chicken without cashew nuts or a sticky glaze, served in a sweet and sour sauce with tough chicken, and a chicken chow mein was also called overcooked. Several mention curt manners, with phone calls ended without a goodbye and an unsmiling counter. Collection ran late for some, and one diner found part of the order boxed and waiting while a dish was still to be cooked.

“Struggled to find a good Chinese untill we tried the food here and now will go nowhere else”
- Terry Senford
“The food is always cold when you get it and it's literally a 2 minute walk home with it. Over fried chips cooked in dirty oil. Personally would avoid this place”

“Ordered food for collection at a specific time. Paid for the food to not receive a thank you nor any direction as to how long it’s going to be despite asking for it for 6 o’clock. I asked how long I’ll have to wait and was advised 10 mins. The two young girls (barely teenagers) behind the bar were constantly giggling about customers and the chefs behind. Eventually 20 mins after the agreed time my name was shouted to collect the food. Again no thank you nor goodbye- Standard manners to be expected from a takeaway Taste wise was edible, however we did pull out what can only be described as a 4 inch black whisker like object from our food. God only knows what it was but it certainly was not part of the dish. First and last time here.”

“Cracking takeaway, been using for years, I have a Chinese takeaway in my own village but travel to manfoon house! So we had a Chinese takeaway with a friend at there house from a St.Austell Chinese takeaway, it was horrible, it's made me realise how good manfoon house is! Thankyou to the manfoon team for your amazing food, keep it up, we'll be coming back, and telling others..”

“Ordered here first time, food was amazing thoroughly enjoyable and would definitely offer again.. what let it down was the girl who answered the phone she could do with learning some people skills, doesn't say goodbye and just hangs up the phone, when you then come and pick the food up the atmosphere is unfriendly, she doesn't smile and you don't feel welcome. Apart from this I would highly recommend the food too quality 👍”
