Quick info
About China world
In Grove Park Shopping Centre in Sittingbourne, China World is a Chinese takeaway serving Tuesday through Sunday evenings, with Mondays closed. Orders are taken on a walk-in basis at the counter, with no reservations involved. Food comes out piping hot, ready for collection. Wait times are quoted at the counter, though these can run longer than stated during busier stretches, so allowing extra time helps. As an evenings-only operation, China World fits a straightforward routine for anyone picking up Chinese food in the shopping centre after work or in the evening hours, rather than for lunch service. The takeaway format keeps the operation focused on collection rather than sit-down dining, with the counter as the sole point of contact for placing and receiving orders throughout the week it is open.

Customer Review Summary
Most reviewers return for tasty food that arrives piping hot, with several calling it consistently good and one saying they have used the takeaway for around six years. Others mention friendly, quick service and reasonable pricing, and one says no other Chinese in Sittingbourne or nearby towns is on par. The complaints are specific, though. One diner found the sweet and sour and black bean sauces thick like glue. Another said the chicken satay clearly wasn't chicken satay, and that the house special chow mein and rice had a strong, off putting odour. A third found the vegetable chow mein nearly empty of vegetables and the hot and sour soup inedibly peppery. Timings are described as hit and miss, with one quoted wait running well over, and a reviewer notes the phone lines can be busy. One reviewer says three meals ordered through Just Eat arrived on very small plates, and was told they should have called to ask for large ones.

“Decent Chinese takeaway, never had a bad meal, phone lines can be busy at times. They need to get a dedicated website to show up to date menus.”

“Ordered chicken satay which clearly wasn’t chicken satay. House special chow mein and house special rice. Very disappointing all 3 dishes had a very strong odour which was very off putting assuming coming from the sauce. Don’t normally …”
- Chris Gifford
“A quoted 40 minute wait turned out to be 1h 10m, vegetable chow mein has hardly any vegetables and the hot & sour soup must have had a whole bottle of ground pepper fallen in to it, inedible. Not worth the wait.”
