About De Bao Chinese Takeaway
De Bao Chinese Takeaway is a Chinese takeaway at 115 Drummond Rd in Skegness, where food is cooked quickly and in full view of the counter. Portions are large, so one order goes a long way. The menu runs from chow mein, with chicken, beef and Singapore style versions, to curry dishes including a Thai chicken curry. Chips come with curry sauce, or as salt and pepper chips. Sweet and sour sauce is also on the menu. The shop takes walk-in customers at the counter. Orders placed by telephone are served first, so callers can have food ready when they arrive.

Customer Review Summary
Chow mein is the dish reviewers raise most, with the Singapore style praised for perfectly cooked noodles and the chicken and beef versions called lovely and not too salty, though one diner found the chicken chow mein so dry it was like swallowing rubber strings. Close behind are the sweet and sour spare ribs, soft inside with a light, home made tasting sauce, and honey and chilli king prawns in a thin batter. Several praise the large portions and the piping hot food, and a few mention egg fried rice and Thai chicken curry. Consistency is where opinions split. One reviewer found the Szechuan pork chewy and the container only half full, with the special curry's pork and beef chewy and slimy. Another returned to dry salt and pepper chips and a watery sweet and sour sauce, and one called an online collection order stale and bland. Long waits come up repeatedly, and one reviewer says phone orders are served first while people standing in the shop are left waiting.
