“Was driving past and decided to try this place, unfortunately it wasn't great, the food was ok but tasteless, the special rice was in a small container, usually it's in a larger tray from where we usually go, think we'll stick to our usual as we know it's better”

“We’ve been regulars at China Delight for a while now, and usually, they do a great job, but last night was a bit of a letdown. We ordered mushroom fried rice, chicken fried rice, chicken curry, and chicken Cantonese style. When the food came out, I noticed the receipt said “special fried rice” instead of the mushroom fried rice I had ordered. No big deal, I pointed it out, and they quickly took it back to fix it. About three minutes later they brought out what they claimed was the “correct” order. When I got home, though, we found that instead of swapping the special fried rice for the mushroom one, they’d just swapped the chicken fried rice for the special fried rice! Quite frustrating, especially after the long day I'd already had... Not impressed at all, especially since we’ve had good experiences here before. I know it was just a mix-up, but definitely a letdown last night!”

“Won't go to any other Chinese takeaway, very happy with China delight, food lovely.”

“One of the worst takeaways I have ever purchased. 2x dodgy people taking the money (one wearing a dirty white vest), and counting receipts. 'Cash only', and no receipt for me? Food was awful and bland. PLEASE don't do it! Buy yourself a big Mac. At least you know what your getting🤐 …”
