Customer Review Summary
Reviewers split sharply, and the most repeated complaints center on the fried rice and chow mein. Several describe egg or chicken fried rice as plain boiled rice with barely any egg and no soy sauce or seasoning, and the chow mein as gloopy, stuck-together noodles with rubbery chicken. Salt and pepper dishes draw criticism too, with burnt chicken, chewy ribs and chips that tasted of cinnamon. Others are happier. Fillet beef country style and Szechuan king prawns are called lovely and tasty, with a generous amount of prawns, and the vegetable chow mein and vegetable curry are described as packed with quality vegetables. One reviewer praises quick, smiling service at pickup, and another a friendly delivery driver. Missing items come up repeatedly, including chicken balls, crispy shredded beef and an item left off a cold order. One reviewer found the woman on the phone awkward when they asked for it to be put right. Several orders arrived without prawn crackers.

“I haven't had food this bad in a long time. Everything was bland, pale and fell below expectations. Think boiled rubbery chicken and dry rice. Will never order again - avoid. £60+ order and regret every single dish.”

“£65 and no prawn crackers?! - and that’s not the worst of it!!! This has to be the worst Chinese in Sheffield! Half a duck was the same as a 1/4 from kitchen king (chesterfield road) No mini spring rolls Watery curry sauce Chicken chow mein was anaemic- rubbery chicken Egg fried rice had no egg and was boiled rice Singapore fried rice - shrimp had tails on some had heads. Salt and pepper chips had cinnamon not salt and pepper seasoning. All portions / dishes were tiny Forgot crispy shredded beef Given them a chance to make this right. Didn’t want to know. Woman on the phone was awkward. We feel completely ripped off. Don’t go here avoid at all costs. Go kitchen king.”

“Worst Chinese I’ve had in a long time. Didn’t deliver part of the order and spent a lot. Didn’t even receive prawn crackers.”

“Not sure why this Chinese takeaway gets such a low rating as we have always enjoyed the food compared to other places and it’s become our go to place for a standard Cantonese takeaway. The fillet beef country style is lovely and Szechuan king prawns is tasty with a generous amount of prawns (not true Szechuan , it never is from most takeaways - have to go to China red for the real deal!). Anyway , thought they deserved a five star rating to offset some of the rubbish reviews - most are probably moaning about late deliveries and not the actual food . People should get off their bums and go and pick it up hot and fresh !”

“Usually I like to give places the benefit of the doubt the first time I go there but this was so bad I don't even know how this place is still open.. Firstly everything in the order was cold and they missed an item off the order.. Dinner totally ruined. Noodles were rubbery. Egg fried rice was just boil in the bag rice with a tiny amount of scrambled egg added, never seen a pan or any soy sauce or seasoning.. The whitest rice I've ever seen, I can make better than this.. It also felt slightly under cooked so look forward to feeling ill tomorrow. Salt and pepper chicken was burnt, every piece had black burns on it that totally ruined the flavour. Prawn toast was cold and soggy. I'd comment on the chicken balls but they were missing from the bag.. Needless to say we will not be returning and I recommend you don't either.”
