About New Lee Sing
New Lee Sing is a Chinese takeaway at 194 Monkmoor Rd in Shrewsbury, where payment is cash only and a cash machine sits close by down the road for anyone who arrives without notes. The menu runs through pancake rolls, sweet and sour chicken balls and crispy beef with chilli sauce, and portions come large. The takeaway opens evenings only and closes on Tuesdays, so it suits an evening meal on the other days of the week. Staff repeat each order back at the counter to confirm it is right.

“Beef and black bean was nice! Little on the more expensive side though and I wouldn't say I noticed a huge difference in quality compared to others. But the food was good and I would order again.”

“Visitors to Shrewsbury (caravaners) Read 2 or 3 google reviews... plumped for New Lee Sing based on these and their 4.5 /5 rating. Well.. We were DELIGHTED. Food very very tasty 👍🤗. Probably the BEST Take out we've had in last year (and we travel and sample across UK..) The staff were a joy, soo cheerful. The portions were huge. We'll enjoy same meal another night!! We had the pancake rolls ( huge chicken chunks therein 🥰) lovely. Egg fried rice ( hardly touched as soo much else to eat..😱 Sweat n sour chicken balls ( we went large... mistake.. as huge balls x5 .. x2 for large... 6 left over😱🥰) Go smaller portion! Chicken chicken mein -easilly the BEST I've ever tasted as perfect smoky with spice twist, firm , with just enough sauce.. not the soggy mess generally served up elsewhere everytime..) Crispy beef with chilli sauce.. again superb.. cooked to perfection, golden crispy beef and tender. Can't recommend these guys highly enough. The only annoying thing is... they're not my local chinese🤣”

“Your delivery driver Josh today went above and beyond the Call of Duty to deliver food to my elderly father-in-law who was unable to walk. He actually went in the house and plated up his food for him. Exceptional customer service I can't thank him enough!”

Customer Review Summary
Diners most often praise the flavour and generous portions, with one reviewer singling out the chicken chow mein as smoky with a spice twist and just enough sauce, not soggy. Close behind are the crispy beef with chilli sauce, described as golden and tender, and pancake rolls with large chunks of chicken. Beef and black bean also gets a nod, and the sweet and sour chicken balls come in such large portions that one party suggests ordering smaller. Regulars describe years of reliably good orders, and the staff are called friendly and cheerful, remembering returning customers and repeating orders back to get them right. Child portions are available when asked. The criticism is limited but specific: one reviewer found a beef curry and chips over salted with fatty meat and threw it away, and another felt the beef and black bean was a little on the expensive side without a noticeable quality gap over other takeaways. One reviewer describes a delivery driver going into the house to plate up a meal for an elderly father-in-law who could not walk.
